Now They’re Separated, Bruce Jenner Wants OFF KUWTK; Kris Jenner Wants Staged Reunion?
October 11, 2013 Gossip by Hollywoodite
Previously, it was reported by both TMZ and RadarOnline that Kris Jenner had alienated herself from Bruce, Brody, and Brandon Jenner. Bruce allegedly wanted to make up for lost time with his biological sons without Kris standing in the way. Moreover, sources say the couple has been lying about the split being “amicable” and the smiles are all “Kardashian PR spin.” Kris responded to that with a series of contrived photos of the family.
And sources said that, although the split would become a storyline on the next season of Keeping up with the Kardashians, Bruce is generally over it and would rather spend time on his kids and his hobbies. “Bruce feels he’s done with the Kardashian reality shows,” says a source. “He has told Kris and producers of the show that he wants out, but he is under contract to film one more season.” Which explains this story. He HAS to do it, it’s nothing to do with there being “no bad blood”. This relates to the 2012 deal, in which the Kardashians made $40 million to commit to three more seasons… of which there is one more to go.
Incidentally, that makes Rob, Kendall, Bruce, Lamar, Khloe, and Kanye (and technically North), who are either not on the show for personal reasons or have expressed that they don’t care about the show and would leave if they could.
“There is no way E! will let Bruce out of the contract because viewers will want to see how the family deals with the split,” adds the source. “Bruce is stuck and under contract. He knows that the split storyline is inevitable…. But in reality, all Bruce wants to do is golf, fly his helicopters and spend time with his kids, including Brandon and Brody.”
Kris is already plotting ways to make it worth her while, “Kris has no desire to get back together with Bruce, but she wants to film a “reunion” of them attempting to work things out, which would all be designed for the show… It would be far from reality.”
Why is she going to all that trouble? “Kris has become obsessed with the slipping ratings. She knows that a great storyline to win back viewers would be to watch Kris and Bruce to start dating again — and perhaps, even get married again. But it’s a pipe dream, because Bruce won’t allow it,” adds the source.
The source continues, “He has been very clear to everyone, behind-the-scenes. He won’t fake scenes or story-lines anymore… Bruce won’t be filming with Kris. He will participate in scenes with daughters Kendall and Kylie. But rarely, if ever, will you be seeing Bruce and Kris together… alone.”
