What did Caitlyn Jenner say about Kris?
In her 2015 interview, Caitlyn opened up about Kris’ treatment. She said, “a lot of times she wasn’t very nice. People would see how I got mistreated. She controlled the money … all that kind of stuff.”
The former Olympian further claimed, “Twenty per cent was gender and 80 per cent was the way I was treated.”
Talking about the later years of their relationship, Caitlyn said, “she became less tolerant of me. Then I’d get upset and the whole relationship kind of fizzled.”
Responding to these claims, Kris acknowledged how her workload increased exponentially after Keeping Up with the Kardashians started. She said, she “didn’t have the kind of time she had in the past.”
However, loosely hinting towards the mistreatment claims Kris said, “All I was doing was working very hard for my family so that we could all have a wonderful future, and he was pissed off.”
Former Olympian opens about marriage issues
Caitlyn and Kris met in mid-1990 and were married only after seven months in 1991.
Following their divorce in 2013, the two dealt with some disputes.
Caitlyn maintained that she had spoken to Kris about her gender dysphoria. However, the star did admit that she did not help her ex-wife to understand the severity of what she was going through.
She said she did not explain well that “this is a condition you cannot get away from.”
Responding to Catilyn’s claim about gender being an issue in their marriage, Kris stated, “there wasn’t a gender issue. Nobody mentioned a gender issue.”
Moving away from the gender dysphoria topic, the former gold medal winner also spoke about how KUWTK affected their marriage. He said that for the first 15 years he felt as though she needed me more because I was the breadwinner.
However, Caitlyn said that after KUWTK started, “she was running the whole show and getting credit for it and she had her own money, she didn’t need me as much from that standpoint. The relationship was different.”

The Kardashian-Jenner family dispute explored
The Vanity Fair interview suggests that initially, the integration of Kris and Caitlyn’s family was seamless. However, things took a downturn after Caitlyn’s ex-wife singer Linda Thompson, took him to court over child support.
Caitlyn said the suit “had a negative impact on Kris’ willingness to integrate the two families.”
The gold medal-winning decathlete confessed that he focused on Kendall, Kylie and the Kardashian sisters. He said that he essentially waited for his other four children from former relationships to grow up and “out from under the apron of their mothers.”
