Kris Jenner blamed social media for the end of Keeping Up With the Kardashians after 14 years on the air!

The momager, Kris Jenner, 64, looked amazing on the cover of WWD's sister publication, Beauty Inc., where she also opened up about the end of their reality show, KUWTK! Kris explained that the absence of social media when they premiered the show was a major contribution to being a success. "When we first started, there was no Instagram or Snapchat or other social media platforms," she said. Kris further added saying, "The world has changed. Now there are so many, the viewer doesn’t have to wait three or four months to see an episode. We can give them all of the information anyone would ever want to know in real-time."

Thank you @WWD for the amazing cover! I am truly honored and humbled. #WWD #repost @wwd ・・・ @KrisJenner is our newest Beauty Inc cover star 🌟 ⁣⁣ From reality TV to entrepreneur par excellence, Kris Jenner has harnessed the power of social media to build a billion-dollar brand empire for her family. And she’s just getting started.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ It’s just days after she has announced the end of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” the long-running reality TV show that propelled the Kardashian-Jenner clan to fame and unfathomable riches.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ But after 14 years of small-screen superstardom, Jenner, the family matriarch and long credited as the mastermind behind the fantastical success of myriad spin-off businesses, is doubling down on the power of an even smaller screen, one that has also served her family well: The phone.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ “When we first started, there was no Instagram or Snapchat or other social media platforms,” said Jenner. “The world has changed. Now there are so many, the viewer doesn’t have to wait three or four months to see an episode.

The Kardashian matriarch also revealed that the show helped a lot for the success of her daughters' fashion and beauty line and also stated the possibility of launching her own beauty brand. "I think I’m a bit busy right now... I’ve always dreamed of having my own brand, so we’ll see. I’m going to keep it to myself," she said. 

Social media might have brought the show to an end, but looking on the positive side, social media has helped the family grow! "Social media is the fastest and most controlled way to get the message out. The consumer gets to see the products the girls are working on in real-time, and they know we’re going to get it out the door pretty quickly," she said. "The girls want them to be part of the journey to keep them engaged."

Social media has provided the KarJenners' a worldwide audience than they would have gained through their reality show. The KarJenner has millions of fan following on their social media, with Kylie Jenner having 198 million, Kim having 190 million, likewise, Kendall having 140 million, Khloe having 122 million, Kourtney has 102 million, and Kris has 36.9 million. 

As Kris said, social media might be one of the reasons for ending their longtime show, but it has perks too. The KarJenner clan doesn't require any advertising agency as they do it themselves via their Instagram account.
