How Kris Jenner Is Trolling the World With Kylie Jennerâs âPregnancyâ
Kris Jenner
As the youngest Kardashian sister   Kylie Jenner  has been an unforeseen success  arguably eclipsing even Kim in social media influence and general notoriety. Given  Jenner âs #impact  not to mention  her  age   her  rumored pregnancy made more waves than Kimâs or KhloÃ©âs  and has been the subject of intense scrutiny ever since. Unfortunately for a legion of Daily Mail reporters  a folder of zoomed-in  grainy images of  Jenner  in a loose T-shirt does not a pregnancy confirmation make. Despite (allegedly) being due to deliver an (alleged) baby in February  Kylie hasnât actually confirmed any of thisânot on her Instagram  her Snapchat or her familyâs flagship reality TV show.
Diehard Kylie devotees (and one or two Travis Scott fans  I guess) have all sorts of ideas about how and when Kylie will announce her progeny. One widespread theory held that the Kardashians would reveal a pregnant Kylie on their annual Christmas card. Although the month-long countdown kept tensions high  the 25th came and went without a festive baby bump; in fact   Jenner  was entirely absent from the photo shoot.
Over the weekend  the lazy Kylie pregnancy beat (lots of unconvincing social media âclues â miscellaneous Travis Scott gossip) was revived when a host of rumors placed  Jenner  in labor. A handful of social media users claimed to have seen the elusive lip-kit mogul at Cedars-Sinai hospital where  they deduced  she had likely come to deliver her Kardashian heir. This happy news was complicated by an army of Kardashian sources that quickly flocked to tabloid outfits trying to squash the story. As âmultipleâ anonymous tipsters told TMZ  âKylie isnât due this month  and she hasnât gone into premature labor. Rumors began heating up Friday that Kylie had checked into Cedars-Sinai in L.A.âwhere all the other Kardashian sisters gave birthâbut weâre told itâs definitely not true.â
Of course  anyone with a passing knowledge of the Kardashian empire knows that any Kardashian âsourceâ could very well be  Kris Jenner  in hair extensions with a funny accent.  Jenner  has a talent for controlling  her  familyâs narrative  and it would make perfect sense for  her  to try and quell these rumors  buying some time for Kylieâs big news to dominate Sunday and Monday nightâs Keeping Up with the Kardashians two-night specialâaptly titled âBun In The Oven.â
Instead  I spent two hours listening to  Kris Jenner  talk about  her  earlobe insecurities  culminating in an all-family announcement of KhloÃ© Kardashianâs already confirmed pregnancy (Kendall and Kylie FaceTimed in  Rob was MIA).
To truly understand the rudeness of this much-hyped two-part special  you have to realize that  Kris Jenner  spent the majority of the first hour handcuffed to a mime. While this âprankâ was exactly as excruciating as you might imagine  it did produce the best quote of the entire episode  courtesy of KhloÃ©: âBeing handcuffed to this mime is exactly what my mom needs to get going.â Elsewhere in Calabasas  the Kardashians are using their potent platform to paint Rob as the victim in his ongoing custody battle with ex Blac Chyna (you know  the woman who he published revenge porn of on social media).
But back to the real issue at hand:  Kris Jennerâs huge  embarrassingly low-hanging earlobes . âEver since Kim made a commentâ about her momagerâs lobes   Kris  has been out scrounging for flattering earmuffs and strategically-placed hair extensions (essentially Payot). Instead of accessorizing like a young Hasidic boy   Kris  decides to get  her earlobes  cut off. Meanwhile  KhloÃ© is feeling sluggish during her workouts and takes a pregnancy test. Or  more likely  KhloÃ© pretends to take a pregnancy test for the cameras. Keeping Up with the Kardashians is shot at odd intervals according to its castsâ busy schedules  and itâs not uncommon to watch a Kardashian anxiously prepare for an event thatâs already taken place  or seemingly reenact a dramatic conversation. Still  judging from earlier episodes this season  we can assume that most of this episode was shot in the summer or early fallâat which point Kylie Jenner would already know that sheâs pregnant. With that in mind  itâs possible that this episode actually does confirm the rumored pregnancy.
In one scene  Kris Jenner picks up a phone call from a frantic Kylie  who says that one of her employees is surreptitiously trying to take pictures of her. While this is objectively creepy  it would only be a real situation if Kylie had something to hide. âTo have somebody in her own home trying to snap pictures they shouldnât be snapping is really  really stressful â  Kris  narrates. âYou want to be able to trust the people that youâre surrounded by  but we have to really be on alert at all time  and thatâs extremely upsetting when you feel like you canât be in your own bedroom or bathroom.â
Jenner continued  âI really feel bad for Kylie because thereâs always somebody thatâs trying to exploit a certain situation.â If  as  Kris âs outfit suggests  this scene was shot in late August  the âcertain situationâ sheâs referring to is almost certainly Kylieâs fertility. Itâs seeming more and more likely that this is the most overt confirmation Keeping Up viewers will getâeven if Kylie hasnât already given birth  her alleged due date is fast approaching. Now that this âspecialâ episode has come and gone without an announcement  itâs likely that Kylie will eventually break her silence to debut a baby  not a baby bump.
