Kris Jenner ‘Betrayed’ By Ryan Seacrest As ‘KUWTK’ Empire Crumbles

The world was shocked this week when Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ longtime executive producer Ryan Seacrest announced that he is joining Kelly Ripa as the new co-host of Live in New York City.
However, Breaking Celebrity News has exclusively learned no one was as shocked by Seacrest’s decision as Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner.
“She didn’t find out until the deal was already done,” a family insider told Breaking Celebrity News. “Kris really wishes Ryan would have had a conversation with her about it before signing on to Live.”
“Kris is just really hurt right now, because she feels like he betrayed her.”
Seacrest, 42, and Jenner, 61, have been producers of KUWTK together since the show kicked off ten years ago. According to the media mogul, he single-handedly pitched the reality show to the E! network, giving the matriarch and her daughters their big break in Hollywood. Now, in the 13th season, the show is struggling with ratings.
“Ryan will still be credited as an executive producer, and it is not like he is quitting,” the source assured Breaking Celebrity News. “He will just be playing a much smaller role.”
But another loved one is also leaving Jenner’s nest!
After congratulating Seacrest on scoring such a “major” gig, Jenner’s daughter Kim Kardashian, 36 — who is also an executive producer for KUWTK — announced yesterday she is launching her own reality show, Glam Masters, without the help of her famous family.
