Is Kris Jenner Pushing Khloe Kardashian To Fake Marriage Trouble For Ratings?
March 22, 2012 by Hollywoodite
There are a few stories today about Khloe Kardashian that it’s easier to cover in one go, since they’re all about how she’s as contrived as her sisters and it’s ruining her husband’s life.
HollywoodLife.com claims that Kardashian and husband Lamar Odom are faking their marriage troubles at the behest of executive producer/ pimp momager, Kris Jenner who appears to have been complicit in similar fakery with another daughter’s relationship. The website claims that Jenner, a producer on Khloe & Lamar, is pushing the couple to fake marital problems in order to keep viewers interested and boost ratings. To Odom’s chegrin.
A source says: ”Kris is constantly telling Khloe that marital conflicts equals ratings! Kris has convinced Khloe that if it weren’t for Lamar, she would not have her own reality show and that if she wants another season she needs to embellish the conflicts in the marriage because that’s what viewers want… Kris is blind to the fact that Khloe and Lamar’s relationship is suffering because of reality TV. Lamar is a pretty laid back person but he has had enough. He feels like a puppet and he has already told Khloe that he is not going to create drama on the show for ratings, in fact, he wants out completely.”
The supposed scheming is blamed for Odom’s recent, temporary demotion: “[Lamar] wants to concentrate solely on his basketball career and he can’t do that if he isn’t in the right frame of mind. He never ever thought his life would become so consumed by the Kardashian franchise.”
Another source tells the website, the Kardashians are definitely to blame for Odom’s career troubles: “No one understands why Lamar keeps doing reality TV. It’s absolutely ruining his career. You would think it would be clear which career to pursue, but for some reason, he can’t decide. At some point, someone is going to make that decision for him.”
In related news, a further source claims Odom says “NO!” to fertility treatment on the show: “Lamar has pretty much given Khloe an ultimatum that he will NOT pursue any fertility treatments with her if they are taped for reality TV. Khloe feels torn because she thinks it would be good for ratings. She is worried that there won’t be enough of a story line to tape for the new season of Khloe & Lamar. She basically has to chose between having babies or reality TV and fame… The reason Lamar fell in love with Khloe in the first place was because of her independence, now he feel like she has lost that because she is so entangled with her mom and sisters and the whole celebrity thing. It’s a real turn off for Lamar!”
