Kim Kardashian and the rest of the Kardashians have been accused many times of fudging the truth.
But now, the 33-year-old E! star has been caught
in a major contradiction which is at the center of the family’s courtroom
battle with their ex-stepmom: Despite momager Kris Jenner claiming in a sworn
court declaration that the family isn’t responsible for editing on any of their
reality shows, mother-of-one Kim has previously admitted she has final say on
what airs!
Jenner made the new claim about her supposedly
hands-off approach to editing in a revealing declaration that she filed as part
of an effort to have a defamation lawsuit that was filed against her and her
children by Robert Kardashian‘s widow, Ellen Kardashian, thrown out of a Los
Angeles court.
In the document, Jenner protested that after
episodes of their E! show are filmed and edited, the family provides “comments
and suggestions” to producers at Bunim-Murray Productions, Inc., but she insisted
that they are not “responsible” for the editing.
“I hold the title of President of Jenner
Communications, Inc.,” Jenner asserts in the text.
“Jenner Communications, Inc., (JCI) is and acts
as the management company for the Kardashian/Jenner/Odom/Disick families. JCI
contracts to provide there personal services of myself to E! for the show. JCI
is not a producer of, nor does it receive any producer credits for or related
to, the Show.”
“JCI, myself, and my family members, that are the
subject of the show, are not responsible for the editing or the production of
the show,” she claims. “After episodes are filmed and edited, we are provided
the opportunity to provide comments and suggestions to BMP as to footage in a
particular episode that has been filmed from or about our lives and BMP does
take those into account.”
Jenner likely made that claim to try to distance
herself from what airs on television because Ellen is suing over how she was
portrayed during an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
Jenner has subsequently claimed she does not have
final control over what airs.
But in 2011, during an interview with CNN’s Piers
Morgan, Kim boasted about having editorial control!
“I mean, I’m really particular on what I show
about, you know, any relationship that I may have,” she said. ”Or there are so
many personal things. And what’s so cool is our relationship with the show is
from the start, they’ve always said we have, you know, the right to edit and to
approve all the footage.”
But in another interview, conducted in 2010,
Jenner provided more contexts about their role in the editing process.
The manager/mother said as Executive Producer,
she “edited” scenes that she wanted too but stopped short of describing their
influence as Kim chose to.
Discussing the notorious scene of Kendall and
Kylie Jenner dancing on a stripper pole during the first season of Keeping Up
With The Kardashians, Jenner was asked by ABC anchor Christine McFadden if “as
an executive producer, [she] let it go out there.”
“Yes, I did,” Jenner, 58, admitted. “And in my
first season, I probably, it would have been one of the things I edited. But I
didn’t.”
