Throughout Caitlyn and Kris' Jenner's marriage, Caitlyn's kids appeared to present a positive
front when it came to their stepmom, but after the divorce, the ugly truth emerged.
Here's why some of Caitlyn Jenner's family members can't stand Kris Jenner.
"Like everything is always your fault...absolutely."
Of all Caitlyn's children, eldest son Burt Jenner has been the most outspoken against
his one-time stepmom.
According to Radar Online, Burt railed against family members in a since-deleted tweet, claiming
they didn't support Caitlyn before she went public with her transition.
A source told the tab that Burt's remarks were aimed at Kris Jenner and half-sister
Kylie Jenner.
The insider added,
"Burt does his own thing and can't be controlled by anyone."
Burt also pulled no punches in an interview with Dirt Authority when he said,
"The Kardashian world is not where I come from."
He also claimed Keeping Up With The Kardashians was a destructive force in Jenner family relations,
and described Kris' vision for the series as "the nail in the coffin" for his relationship
with Caitlyn.
Burt told Vanity Fair,
"There was a you-aren't-part-of-this kind of thing.
Kris made the choice to make a good TV show that was in their image and brand."
Brody Jenner spoke highly of his then-stepmom, Kris Jenner, in 2013, telling the New York
Daily News,
"Kris and I have had some very deep, long conversations, and we actually really got
to know each other, and so we're all good now."
It was a stark contrast to the awkward dynamic between them portrayed on the show that same
year.
Just two years later, Brody sang an entirely different tune on Sway in the Morning on Shade
45, saying,
"Kris and I, honestly we never talk."
While he did call Kris "a very smart woman" and "an incredible mother," Brody also said,
"[The Kardashians are] not even technically my family anymore."
One year later, Page Six reported that Brody was overheard uttering the same sentiment
at Coachella, only with a bit more stank on it this time.
Responding to a fan who congratulated him on the success of the Kardashians, he reportedly
yelled,
"They're not my f---ing family!"
Yikes! Brody was a little more reserved at an Oscar viewing party in 2019, telling UsWeekly,
"Everybody's kind of doing their own thing now, since [Caitlyn] and Kris split up."
Caitlyn's mother, Esther Jenner, ripped into Kris Jenner in a 2014 interview with the Daily
Mail, calling Kris a:
"Controlling monster [who] didn't treat anybody very well."
Next came accusations that Kris cheated on both Robert Kardashian and possibly Caitlyn;
that Kris didn't help care for Kylie and Kendall when they were babies; that Kris constantly
"badmouthed" Caitlyn's children from her first two marriages; and that Kris manipulated Esther's
cameo on the family's reality show.
It was a takedown tour de force all wrapped up neatly with Esther's sentiment:
"I hope she changes her name back to Kardashian, I don't want her to carry the name."
Compared to Grandma Esther's scorched-earth approach, Brandon Jenner's denouncement of
Kris Jenner was mild at best.
As reported by Vanity Fair, Brandon merely sub-shaded Kris when he strenuously opposed
Caitlyn Jenner's decision to use Keeping Up With The Kardashians producers for her since-canceled
spin-off reality show, I Am Cait.
He said,
"You go on E!'s website [...] and you look at all the shows, every one of them is a circus."
Considering Keeping Up With The Kardashians is Kris' brainchild and her financial lifeblood,
an attack on the show is certainly an attack on Kris.
"One hundred percent."
According to MSN in 2019, Brandon admitted on a radio show that being associated with
Kris Jenner's empire has not been good for his career, adding,
"I sometimes am almost a little ashamed of it, because I feel like people are going to
have this preconceived notion that I'm just, kind of, like a spoiled kid that doesn't really
have anything to say, right?
And hasn't struggled in their life."
Later that year, Brandon opened up further to People Now, revealing that he felt so alienated
from the reality TV side of his family that he "overcompensated" by adopting a decidedly
unglamorous aesthetic.
He explained,
"I just wanted to show the world that's not who I am, that I'm somebody that wants to
be judged on my character and how I treat people and the world, and not how I look or
what I have."
Caitlyn Jenner's second wife, Linda Thompson, has strong feelings toward Kris Jenner, and
they aren't pretty.
According to Vanity Fair, the rift started in the early years of Kris and Caitlyn's marriage
when, according to the elder Jenner kids, "Kris essentially turned on them."
According to Kris, the strain came from being, quote, "embattled all the time" over visitation
disputes with Linda, but Caitlyn told a different story, citing Linda's petition for child support
as having had:
"A very negative impact on Kris's willingness to integrate the families."
With that backdrop in mind, it's not surprising that Linda laid some of the blame at Kris'
feet for the estrangement between Caitlyn and Thompson's boys, Brody and Brandon.
According to Thompson's memoir, A Little Thing Called Life, she holds her ex fully accountable
for failures as a parent.
However, she did get in the following dig directed at Kris:
"Having been present at almost all of the birthday parties and holidays in the five
years between our separation and [her] marriage to Kris...
[Caitlyn] was a noticeable absence now."
