KRIS Jenner joked that daughter Kourtney Kardashian returned to Keeping Up with the Kardashians after quitting because she ‘gave her’ cash.
The momager, 64, shared the news during an appearance on Ellen and addressed Kourtney‘s reasons to film again, despite announcing in November that she would be taking a “step back”.
Confirming that Kourtney was “filming again”, the family matriarch first joked with host Ellen DeGeneres that “it’s because I gave her some of this” while holding up fake dollars.
But Kris got serious about her eldest daughter’s return and explained: “I think she just needed a bit of a break. You know how we all hit a tipping point, and she hit a wall.
“She was frustrated and she felt under appreciated and her sisters didn’t understand her boundaries, so I think after taking a little bit of time off, she’s seen the light.”
Fans will be no doubt delighted to learn of the Poosh founder’s return after she previously admitted at the end of season 17 that she had reached her “breaking point”.
As the drama between all the sisters escalated at the time, Kourtney told Khloe it wouldn’t be a big deal if she quit the E! series.
“You would be happy if the show ended?” Khloe asked at the time. To which Kourtney replied: “Yeah! Who cares!”
Adding fuel to the fire, the mother-of-three then spoke with with Entertainment Tonight in November and revealed that she would be taking a “step back” from the show to focus on her young family.
She said: “I just decided to spend more time as a mum and put more of my energy there. But I’m not saying goodbye.
“But I think you’ll have to see more of it on the new season, season 18. It isn’t airing yet, but it’s being filmed. Currently, in this room.”
However a source close to Kourtney told The Sun Online that the reality star was never truly finished with the show.
They told us: “Kourtney was never done with the show for good- it was really just a break. It’s her main income.”
The news comes after The Sun revealed that Kourtney and her sister Kim Kardashian faked their upcoming fight on Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
The sisters have been butting heads in recent seasons of the E! show and a new trailer for season 18 teased the pair get into a physical fight during an argument.
In the trailer, Kourtney yells: “You have nothing to say.” Before Kim snaps back, “Don’t ever come at me like that,” as she aggressively lunging at her.
However a source has exclusively told The Sun that the conflict was deliberated exaggerated to create drama for the show.
The insider revealed: “It really didn’t escalate to anything other than a shove and Kim didn’t land the punch. It’s really exaggerated for TV. Made for TV drama.
“They really don’t hate each other, and mom Kris [Jenner] would NEVER let there be actual violence.”
The source continued: “Sometimes they do fight because Kourtney is jealous Kim is more successful, and it’s true Kim didn’t believe Kourtney was pulling her weight on the show.”
