Kim Kardashian might be considering leaving The Kardashians, the family’s reality show on Hulu, according to a report from In Touch. The founder of the SKIMS shapewear brand, who recently landed a major deal with Nike, is reportedly shifting her focus toward growing her business empire.
With more than 350 million followers on Instagram and a string of high-profile brand partnerships, Kim doesn’t need the reality show to maintain her relevance anymore. This shift has caused some worry for her mom, Kris Jenner, who is reportedly afraid that Kim might walk away from the show for good.
According to sources, Kris is feeling the pressure as the show’s ratings continue to drop and tensions within the family rise. “She’s desperate to stop Kim from quitting, because she knows the show would fall apart without her,” an insider revealed.
Kris has been pulling out all the stops to try to keep Kim on the show. She’s reportedly been alternating between begging Kim to stay and attempting to scare her by reminding her how important she is to the family brand. “When that doesn’t work, Kris tries to guilt Kim by saying the whole family will lose everything they’ve built without her,” a source shared.
The reality series is facing a decline in ratings, and family members are said to be growing tired of living their lives under constant camera surveillance. Sources say that none of the Kardashian-Jenner clan enjoy filming anymore because the pressure to constantly create content and have cameras in their faces all the time has become overwhelming.
Even though the show helped launch their careers, many of the Kardashians are now more focused on their individual businesses, with Kourtney, Khloé, Kylie, and Kendall particularly prioritizing their fashion, beauty, and entrepreneurial ventures. The reality TV lifestyle, which once seemed glamorous, now feels less appealing.
The pressure from the show’s declining viewership has been building for a while, and the family knows that the financial gains from the series might not last forever. Advisors have reportedly warned them that stepping away from the show could affect their social media influence and overall earnings. Despite all this, Kris Jenner is doing everything she can to keep the show going.
