Khloe Kardashian demands more recognition for her role in The Kardashians, Insider says
Khloe Kardashian is reportedly unhappy with the way she is being treated by Hulu and her family, as she feels she deserves more credit and compensation for her role in their reality show, 'The Kardashians'.
According to a source close to the 38-year-old, Khloe believes she is the main reason why the show is still popular and successful, as she provides the most drama, humor, and relatability to the viewers.
"Khloe feels like she carries the show on her shoulders, and she wants to be rewarded for that," the source told Yahoo Entertainment. "She thinks she is the most entertaining and authentic of the sisters, and she doesn't get enough recognition or respect for that."
The source added that Khloe is also frustrated with the way Hulu and her family handle the production and promotion of the show, which is the follow-up to their long-running series 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' that ended in 2021.
"Khloe is always the last to know about the filming schedules, the marketing plans, and the creative decisions," the source said. "She feels like she is being left out of the loop and taken for granted. She also thinks that Hulu and her family favor Kim and Kylie over her, and give them more screen time and exposure."
The source claimed that Khloe has been voicing her complaints to her mother and manager, Kris Jenner, but has not received much support or sympathy from her.
"Kris tries to calm Khloe down and tell her that she is valued and appreciated, but Khloe doesn't buy it," the source said. "She thinks Kris is just trying to keep the peace and avoid any conflict. Khloe wants Kris to stand up for her and negotiate a better deal for her, or else she might quit the show."
The source said that Khloe's dissatisfaction with the show has also affected her relationship with her sisters, especially Kim and Kylie, who she feels are overshadowing her and stealing her spotlight.
"Khloe is jealous of Kim and Kylie's success and popularity, and she resents them for it," the source said. "She thinks they are selfish and greedy, and they don't care about her or the show. She also feels like they are copying her style and ideas, and taking credit for them."
The source said that Khloe's unhappiness with the show has also spilled over to her personal life, as she struggles with her health, her love life, and her self-esteem.
"Khloe is going through a lot of stress and anxiety, and she is not taking care of herself," the source said. "She has been dealing with skin cancer, weight fluctuations, and insecurities about her appearance. She has also been having trouble finding a stable and loyal partner, after her breakups with Tristan Thompson and Timothée Chalamet. She feels lonely and unloved, and she is looking for validation and attention from the show and the fans."
The source said that Khloe is hoping that things will change for the better soon, and that she will get the recognition and reward that she deserves for her role in 'The Kardashians'.
"Khloe loves the show and her family, and she doesn't want to leave them," the source said. "But she also wants to be happy and fulfilled, and she feels like she is not getting that right now. She hopes that Hulu and her family will realize how important and valuable she is, and treat her accordingly. She wants to be the star of the show, not the sidekick."
