Kris Jenner's Fury Over Unauthorized Biography Revealed

Kris Jenner voiced strong objections to a biography, 'Citizen Kim,' that her daughter Kim Kardashian authorized. Kris felt blindsided, as Kim had reportedly given the go-ahead years earlier without her manager mom's knowledge.

During an Easter conversation with her daughters, Kris expressed her dismay, stating no one had approached her about the book. She conveyed a negative feeling about the situation, emphasizing that personal stories should be self-narrated to avoid inaccuracies and protect family privacy.

Kim Kardashian defended the biography, published on October 13, by author Jonathan Van Meter. She explained that the book aimed to counter public misinformation with a factual and interesting account of her life. Kim maintained that she stood behind the project.

A point of contention arose when Kim shared a passage suggesting she might have childhood trauma, despite her claims of a perfect childhood. Kris was insulted by this commentary, questioning why an outsider would presume trauma.

Kris differentiated her own 2011 memoir, asserting she wrote it for herself and did not grant rights to her life story to another person. She felt Kim had given away family rights to a stranger, potentially damaging their legacy.

Author Jonathan Van Meter later confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that Kris had expressed strong objections on camera. He also noted that Kim had reviewed the manuscript for factual accuracy, with only minor edits made concerning her safety.
