Kardashians' biggest scandals - from sex tapes to revenge porn and fake billionaires

The Kardashians are the most famous family in the world, with their every move leaving their millions of fans gripped.

But since they shot to fame over a decade ago on their reality TV show, they've had more than their fair share of scandals.

From the sex tape that started it all to revenge porn, 72-day marriages and drug overdoses, the Kardashian-Jenners have lives that could make any soap opera look like the Teletubbies.

Here we take a look at this clan's most shocking moments of all time that show us why we can't stop Keeping Up With The Kardashians...

Kim's sex tape

Kim was relatively unknown in the mid-noughties and was usually seen hanging around her much more famous friend Paris Hilton.

But all that changed in 2007 after the leak of a sex tape she'd made with her ex-boyfriend Ray J.

It was released by porn company Vivid Entertainment who said they purchased the tape from a "third party" for $1million

Kim sued the firm for invasion of privacy and for the profits and ownership of the tape, but eventually agreed to a $5million settlement.

There is an enduring conspiracy theory that Kim's momage Kris Jenner was the one who leaked the tape, but this has always been denied.

The first episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians aired just a few months later and the rest is history...

Kim's 72-day marriage

Kim married basketball player Kris Humphries in August 2011 but that October she filed for divorce, just 72 days later.

The KUWTK special episodes were watched by a combined total of 10.5million people.

The marriage caused huge controversy as many believe Kim only married Kris for publicity, though she has always denied this.

Though they were only officially together for 72 days, they actually stayed married for two years because divorce proceedings took so long.

Kris decided to seek an annulment on the grounds of "fraud" claiming Kim had used their marriage for ratings.

During this time Kim got together with Kanye West and fell pregnant with their eldest daughter North.

Lamar Odom's overdose

In 2015, Khloe Kardashian's then estranged husband Lamar Odom was found unconscious at a brothel in Nevada after a four-day drugs binge.

She was told he had just hours to live and was in a coma for four days.

Lamar later revealed he suffered 12 strokes and six heart attacks while he was unconscious.

As Khloe was still legally married to Khloe, she had the power to make medical decisions for him and rushed to be by his bedside.

Lamar finalised his divorce from Khloe in December 2016.

Kylie's lip fillers

Kylie had faced rumours that she'd had work done to her lips but she always denied them, insisting it was makeup trickery.

Before and after pictures clearly showed a huge size difference in her lips.

In 2015 she finally came clean and admitted that she used lip fillers.

She was just 17 years old at the time.

Since then Kylie's lips have become her trademark and helped her launch her mega successful Kylie Cosmetics brand of lip kits.

Kylie's relationship with Tyga

Kylie and Tyga met when she was just 14 when he performed at her big sister Kendall Jenner's 16th birhtday party.

They are rumoured to have started dating when she was 17, a year younger than the age of consent in California, and Tyga was 24.

Reports of their relationship came after he broke up with Blac Chyna, with whom he had a baby son.

But they denied they were together, insisting they were just friends until Kanye West confirmed - and defended - their romance.

"I think Tyga got in early. I think he was smart," he said.

The pair eventually broke up in 2017 and she started dating Travis Scott just a few months later.

Kimye vs Taylor Swift

Kanye and Taylor fell out back in 2009 when he stormed the stage at the VMAs to protest her winning an award over Beyonce.

It seemed like they had managed to make amends until 2016 when he released his song Famous.

The lyrics said: "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that bitch famous."

Taylor hit back at the Grammys, saying: "I want to say to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments and your fame."

Kim got involved when she claimed Taylor had approved the song, which Taylor denied.

To hit back Kim released a video of Taylor calling the song a "compliment".

Taylor said she never approved being called a bitch but the scandal was huge, with Kimye fans flooding Taylor's Instagram with snake emojis.

It would inspire her album Reputation and the tour, which was full of snake imagery.

The feud was dragged up yet again back in March when it emerged that Kanye deliberately left out the word b***h from the phone call.

Kim is robbed at gunpoint

One of the most shocking things to ever happen to the Kardashians was when Kim was robbed at gunpoint in Paris in October 2016.

She was tied up at the hands and legs but managed to escape by wriggling free.

More than $10million in jewels were stolen, including Kim's emerald-cut diamond engagement ring valued at $4million.

KUWTK devoted an episode of the show to Kim's reaction to the robbery as she tearfully recalled what happened.

The crime caused huge controversy as many conspiracy theorists suggested that she had made it all up for ratings.

She was also blamed as she often flaunted her jewelry on social media.

Rob's revenge porn

In January 2016 Rob Kardashian shocked everyone when he started dating Blac Chyna, the ex of Kylie Jenner's then boyfriend Tyga and mother of his child.

They had a volatile relationship and broke up and got back together several times.

Chyna gave birth to their daughter Dream that November and they split just weeks later.

They were on and off a few more times but the following July Rob posted pictures of Chyna's naked body on Instagram.

He also shared a video of her kissing another man, who Rob claims she slept with shortly after sleeping with him.

Chyna claimed Rob was physically abusive towards her, which he denies.

After months of legal battles they agreed to share custody of Dream until this January when Chyna claimed he was trying to take her away.

She is currently suing Rob along with Kris, Kim, Khloe and Kylie.

Chyna is accusing the family members of working together to get their reality show Rob & Chyna cancelled.

They deny all allegations of wrongdoing and are demanding the case be thrown out.

The tension kicked off again when Dream suffered a second-degree burn on her leg while at Rob's home earlier this year.

Chyna accused him of child abuse but it was later found to be an accident by social services.

Tristan cheats on Khloe

After a difficult marriage to Lamar, it seemed Khloe had finally found happiness when she got together with another basketball player, Tristan Thompson.

The rumours of his cheating started after it was reported Khloe was pregnant with their now two-year-old daughter True.

In October 2017 he was allegedly filmed kissing two women.

Just days before Khloe gave birth Tristan was filmed kissing another woman before heading into a hotel with her.

Kylie and Jordyn Woods fell out over the scandal (mirror.co.uk)

They broke up but quickly got together but in February last year he was accused of being unfaithful again - this time with Kylie's best friend Jordyn Woods.

Jordyn said they had only kissed by Khloe refused to believe this and the relationship was over yet again.

The pair are thought to be back together now but their happiness was rocked last month when it was claimed a woman was calling Tristan the father of her baby.

Tristan took a DNA test to refute the claims.

Kylie the fake billionaire

The latest scandal to rock the famous family came last month when Forbes magazine claimed that Kylie pretended to be a billionaire.

It came from the very publication who dubbed her the world's youngest self-made billionaire.

The piece entitled 'Inside Kylie Jenner's web of lies and why she's no longer a billionaire' claims Kylie 'lied about her company figures and forged tax returns.'

They estimated that her worth was closer to $900million dollars after she sold half of her Kylie Cosmetics business to Coty.

Kylie has hit out at the claims (Twitter)

Responding to the claims, Kylie tweeted: "What am i even waking up to. i thought this was a reputable site..

"All i see are a number of inaccurate statements and unproven assumptions lol.

"I've never asked for any title or tried to lie my way there EVER. period [sic]."
