Kris Jenner 'alienated' by pals when Keeping Up With The Kardashians first premiered

Kris Jenner was "alienated" by her friend group when Keeping Up With The Kardashian first aired, according to her famous daughters.

According to Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian, the momager’s pals “shunned” her until the show’s popularity sky-rocketed and turned them into the stars we know today.

Speaking on the KUWTK reunion on E!, Kourtney shared: "Don't you remember having so many haters of our friends? Our close friends were such haters and so jealous."

To which Khloe added that Kris, 65, was ignored by some friends as the show premiered.

The 36-year-old explained: "They really shunned you for a while and then by, like, season three or four, they all now want to be invited to her things.”

In the same episode, Kris was quizzed about her relationship with ex Caitlyn Jenner. The pair Kris split in 2015, two years before Caitlyn came out as transgender.

Host Andy Cohen asked: "Kris, do you have fond memories of your time on the show with your ex?"

"Yeah I do," she replied. "I think that we had a lot of really great years.

"I think that everything also is meant to be, and what was meant to be out of that relationship was Kendall and Kylie.

"So without that I wouldn't have 1/6 and 1/6 of my heart, sitting here, and that I'm so grateful for and feel like it was such a blessing."

Cohen then asked: "Hard question: Do you think you would have split up from your ex were it not for the transition?"

Kris said: "That's an interesting question. I think so."

She also said she didn't know Caitlyn was going to transition at the time of their split.

The episode ended with Cohen asking: "Have you forgiven Caitlyn for how she treated you after the divorce?"

But viewers will have to wait for the second and final part of the reunion episode to hear what Kris' answer will be.

Elsewhere, the matriarch reportedly wanted to stop filming of the hit show after suffering an alarming allergic reaction.

Kris’ lips swelled dramatically due to a food allergy while the family were on a luxury break.

And after the final-ever episode of KUWTK aired earlier this month, executive producer Farnaz Farjam revealed: "One of my most memorable moments was Kris Jenner's lip moment.

In an interview with streaming platform hayu, he added: "She didn't want to film because she had a swollen lip, but she understood that we were on a family vacation and that’s what was happening to her and she kind of just needed to roll with it, and she did."

Elsewhere, Kris almost refused to keep filming after her lips ballooned from a severe allergic reaction (E!)

The season seven episode first aired in 2012 and was filmed while the Kardashian-Jenner clan enjoying a five-star vacation in the Dominican Republic.

But the break soon turned into a nightmare for mum Kris as the food allergy led to her lips ballooning in size.

"I'm a mess," Kris complained in the episode. "My lip looks like a Who from Whoville."

"Oh my god, it looks like your lip is gonna explode!” exclaimed daughter Kim Kardashian after being left shocked by her mother's swollen face for the first time.

"Is the Dominican Republican known for plastic surgery?” Kim jokingly enquired. "Did you come here to really sneak in and get your lips done?"
