No one is surprised of the news at this point that Keeping Up With the Kardashians is ending. Fans found out just a few days ago and the news has spread like a sad wildfire unable to be put out with tears of former teenage audiences. However, one person in the Kardashian-Jenner family was unaware until she found out just like the rest of us, through the media.
Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian West were among the first of the family to release the news. They delivered the message with heavy hearts and offered up gratitude to all of their fans and supporters. While there have been many rumors over which Kardashian-Jenner family member was to blame for the show going off the air Kris Jenner has stated that it was a mutual decision that they all made after months of debate. Months of debate that Caitlyn Jenner was never a part of, it seems.
According to Vanity Fair Caitlyn Jenner had no prior knowledge that the KUWTK franchise was set to end. She found out through the news and while she was unsurprised that the long standing series will end with season 20 she was a little shocked that no one mentioned it to her. Surely one of the five children, especially Kendall and Kylie would have made mention of such important news.
It could be speculated that Caitlyn Jenner is not in the loop on much at this point. While she was a regular on KUWTK for many years, she hasn't made many appearances since coming out and starting her transition in 2015. When asked what she felt about the whole situation she stated “Was I surprised? No. But that show is probably the greatest reality show in history…The girls and Kris have done an amazing job with the show and keeping it going this long, but everybody's in a different place now and I think it's time to move on. Nothing lasts forever.” She also mentioned that she has no knowledge on the inner workings of how the decision was made but she does know that "all of the kids have moved into their own areas.”
She also agreed that her former spouse Kris Jenner would be amazing on RHOBH but did not confirm or deny the accuracy of the speculation. It's kind of shocking that a person who was so integrated into the lives of the Kardashian-Jenner family and was on the show for so many seasons wouldn't at least be given a heads up. If the family and Caitlyn have grown apart then it is what it is but it seems in this day and age a simple phone call would have done the trick.
