Kris Jenner: Pity My Daughter! Watch Our Show!

Kris Jenner appeared on Ellen on Monday.


In her most extensive comments to date regarding the armed robbery that victimized daughter Kim Kardashian, Jenner could hardly contain her emotion.


Because she really wants you to tune in and learn more about it on new episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.


Because it"s very difficult for a mother to discuss such a traumatic incident involving her child.



“I was watching it and I was balling – balling when I saw it,” the 61-year-old told Ellen of a scene featured in the latest Keeping Up with the Kardashians trailer.


It features Kim breaking down while discussing what happened to her.


“I just saw some of it. I couldn’t even watch the whole thing it was so upsetting," Jenner added.


"It was such an upsetting time and something so awful happened to somebody you love so much. And it’s just like – ugh – it chokes me up every time to think about it.”


But that doesn"t mean the family won"t exploit it as much as possible in order to drive up reality show ratings.


Jenner teased that this pivotal scene doesn’t air until the second half of Season 13, claiming that a return to filming helped Kim heal from the “devastating” incident.



"I get choked up just thinking about it and talking about it," Jenner added. "But its remarkable to listen to her tell the story and she does that…. moment by moment.”


Kris also hopes that the upcoming episodes "brings some awareness," referring, we guess, to other very rich people who flaunt their diamonds and their whereabouts on social media and who will hopefully learn from what happened to Kardashians.


(Editor"s Note: We don"t blame Kim for what happened. And we feel terrible for her. We just are slightly turned off by the way Jenner discusses the robbery, like it"s some kind of PR opportunity, in this interview.)


Watch Jenner and Ellen delve into the deeply personal topic now:

The Bachelorette Recap: Will You Accept This Pity Rose?!

The race is heating up for JoJo Fletcher’s heart on ABC. Who would live to fight for her another week as the crew headed to Argentina?


Follow the link to read The Bachelorette spoilers if you want to know who goes ALL the way … or just scroll down for THG’s recap! 



This week’s format for the eight guys remaining: A second two-on-one date, plus a regular one-on-one date and the one group date.


First up? Wells’ one-on-one, which was preceded by him telling the guys that he was the only one who hadn’t kissed the beauty yet.


Naturally, the guys had a field day with that one.


The date didn’t help. Unlike Jordan Rodgers, who got to chill on a yacht last week, already anxious Wells had to do performance art.


Pretty awkward. But he kissed her in the end!


Sadly, that was the high point. After sitting down to dinner and discussing life, previous relationships, perspectives on love, and so on?


Wells just seemed like he didn’t want to be there, or was at the very least uncomfortable, and JoJo was not feeling any sort of connection.


He did not get the rose, and was sent home.


Next up? A group date with Jordan Rodgers, Luke Pell, Robby Hayes, James and Alex, who explored Buenos Aires with The Bachelorette.


The tension was getting pretty palpable.


James started to crack a bit, telling JoJo how he got into a big fight playing poker with Jordan, but not being clear on his overall point.



More than anything, it felt like James was just annoyed that he was going up against the handsome, athletic brother of Aaron Rodgers.


Word got back to the former football star, however, after JoJo asked if he felt “entitled,” and he called out James in front of Robby and Alex.


It was Luke Pell, meanwhile, who got the group date rose, while Derek and Chase prepared for their do-or-die two-on-one with Ms. Fletcher.


While Derek was definitely more open about his feelings, and really confident about his chance, she took Chase, sending Derek home.


Even Chase was a little surprised by that one. At the cocktail party, JoJo faced the unusual situation of being unsure what to do next.


Luke and Chase already had roses, and Jordan and Robby Hayes were obviously getting them, so it was between Alex and James.


When it came time for the rose ceremony … she still couldn’t make up her mind and decided to take both along to the following week.


Despite surviving and advancing by any means necessary, which is all that matters in this came, Alex was kind of pissed about this.


Why? He felt they both got “pity roses” and that he should’ve earned it for real over James. Hey, if you’re still in, take what you can get.

Bethenny Frankel on Sonja Morgan: I Pity Her

The Skinnygirl told off The Tipsy Girl on The Real Housewives of New York City Season 8 Episode 7.


In a confrontation for the ages, ​Bethenny Frankel told Sonja Morgan exactly what she thought about the latter trying to break into the wine business, sitting across from her on a couch and just tearing Morgan to shreds.


It was ugly and it was personal.



“I think you’re a fraud,” Frankel told Morgan upon being asked for her take on Morgan’s Tipsy Girl line of cocktails.


“You’ve come up with six fake businesses, and no one buys any of it. Nobody believes any of it.”


This critique brought Morgan to tears, with the reality star citing her reason Chapter 11 filing and explaining that she hoped this business idea would help her dire financial situation.


You can watch The Real Housewives of New York City online to relive the entire episode and click below to view this awkward exchange:



Having had some time to reflect on her destruction of Morgan, does Bethenny now have any regrets?


It doesn’t really sound like it.


“The Sonja situation was just kind of sad,” Frankel wrote on her blog today.


“Obviously, her idea can’t touch my brand. There is no product or distribution. It is a made-for-television idea, and I have over 20 varieties of wine, vodka and ready to drink.


“You can’t find a city of the Housewives where several women haven’t followed in my footsteps and attempted booze.”


How does the successful entrepreneur feel about this competition?


“Bring it on. The more the merrier. It is a brutal business, and it may look easy, but as you see, it isn’t.”


Bethenny added Tipsy Girl is an “unoriginal name and idea” and it gives audiences a misguided impression “that you just go on TV, and poof a brand is born. That isn’t how it works.”


Frankel is mostly right in this regard.


She does work hard and she has made a ton of money off her Skinnygirl brand.


But she’s lying to herself if she thinks her reality TV career didn’t play a big role in her success.



Frankel really did make Morgan cry on the latest episode of their Bravo hit, but she says now that there’s no ill will between the castmates.


“As for Sonja, well…I have no anger towards Sonja, but I do have sympathy,” she concludes.


“I hope she can find her truth somewhere in the process.


“Ideas and names are a dime a dozen. Execution, drive, dedication and passion push it through.”

Yolanda Foster Shares Hospital Bed Selfie: "This is Not a Pity Party, Just Reality"

Yolanda Foster is putting the “real” in “Real Housewives.”


The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Instagrammed a decidedly un-glam photo of herself hooked up to an IV in a hospital bed. The former model has been using the social media platform to chronicle every part of her life, including her three-year struggle with Lyme disease.



She captioned the pic: “I am not afraid for you to see me for who I really am and what my days are really like……I have learned to love every part of me without apology! Happy selfie-sad selfie, good days – bad days, with make up-no make up, boobs- no boobs.”


(Foster underwent surgery to remove her breast implants after a leak was discovered last year.)


In her determination to keep it real (really real, not “Real Housewives” real), the star may be throwing a wrench into the picture-perfect narrative that the other Housewives (and, uh, Bravo) may have you believe.


OMG, their lives aren’t all garden parties and Botox? SHOCKING!


She added:


“I can only hope that by sharing this not so glamorous journey, the millions of doubted & neglected Lyme sufferers will gain medical recognition of their illness and the appropriate treatment affordable for all. This is not a pity party, just reality with good intend #InvisableDisease”


We can’t help but wonder if the pic has generated a big roll of the eyes from fellow Housewife Taylor Armstrong, who last month admitted on the RHOBH that she finds Foster’s “happy selfie, sick selfie” posts “a little much.”


Sorry that the “whole needle-in-the-arm thing” makes you feel ooky, Taylor. Perhaps you’d be more comfortable if it were a needle-in-the-forehead? (Yep, we went there.)


Clearly, Foster isn’t deterred by her co-star’s comments in the slightest.


In fact, she may be a crusader in bringing awareness to Lyme disease, which is often misunderstood and affects more than 300,000 people annually.


If not diagnosed or treated in the early stages, the disorder can cause a host of symptoms ranging from fibromyalgia to neurological damage.


So ignore the haters, Ms. Yolanda. If sharing your not-so-pretty side helps others suffering, who cares if a few others can’t handle it.
