Star: “Kris Jenner Was Totally Involved In Arranging The Sale Of Kim Kardashian’s Sex Tape”
August 8, 2012 by Hollywoodite
This week’s Star Magazine follows the lead of an old story from TMZ.com about Kris Jenner’s involvement in the inception and distribution of daughter Kim Kardashian’s sex tape.
Previously, TMZ claimed that (no longer credible) Myla Sinanaj had text messages from Kris Humphries about how Jenner pushed Kardashian to re-shoot the tape because the first take wasn’t “pretty enough.” And Jenner was “proud” of the publicity generated by the tape. Vivid Entertainment tried to clear its name in the allegations, only to be asked misdirecting questions in a session of buffoonery from the TMZ Live hosts. So, there was no real denial that meant anything. Jenner probably did offer Vivid the completed second take.
And that’s where Star takes over this week, alleging that Jenner pushed an “existing tape” to market in the desperate pursuit of her daughter’s fame. Even happy at the famewhore name Vivid chose for the tape, Kim Kardashian Superstar. Apparently, Jenner brokered the sale, acting as middleman, making six-figures.
Kris Jenner was willing to do whatever it took to catapult the Kardashian family name into stardom, and one family insider exclusively reveals she even spearheaded the sale of daughter Kim Kardashian’s infamous sex tape in 2007.
“Kris was totally involved in arranging the sale of Kim’s tape,” the source told Star magazine of Kim’s on-camera tryst with then-boyfriend Ray J. “The video already existed and Kris was there every step of the way as a middleman brought in to market it to an adult entertainment company.”
The title of the adult flick released from Vivid Entertainment was Kim Kardashian, Superstar, which the source said had Kris over the moon. “That must have thrilled Kris since you could hardly call Kim a household name at that point in time,” the insider said.
Despite denials that Kris had anything to do with the release of Kim’s sex tape, and Khloe Kardashian calling the idea “disgusting and disturbing,” the source passed a polygraph test with Star magazine.
“I saw Kris Jenner’s signature on the contract. I believe she got somewhere between $250,000 and $500,000 for the original deal with the middleman,” the source said.
As RadarOnline.com was first to report, the Kardashian’s former nanny Pam Behan said, “I believe [Kris] was grooming her children for their current celebrity status their entire lives… I do believe that the success they enjoy now is what she always hoped for and wanted for them and for herself.”
Meanwhile, Kris’ never-ending drive for fame and wealth are coming at a great cost, the insider said. “Everything she does in this world, every decision she makes on her daughters’ behalf, is based on greed and publicity,” the source said. “And has nothing to do with her family’s stability or happiness.” – via RadarOnline.
