Kourtney Kardashian slams 'controlling' Caitlyn Jenner in furious rant
Reality TV icon Kourtney Kardashian has hit out at Caitlyn Jenner's parenting skills in a brutal swipe while appearing on sister Khloe's podcast
Kourtney Kardashian has slammed Caitlyn Jenner as she reflected on her upbringing, describing the star's approach to parenting as 'controlling' and 'bossy.' The Kardashians star, 46, made the remarks during an appearance on her sister Khloe Kardashian 's podcast, Khloe In Wonder Land.
As the eldest daughter of Kris Jenner and the late Robert Kardashian, Kourtney opened up about her dynamic with Caitlyn, who married Kris, 69, in 1991 and remained in the family until their 2015 divorce.
The conversation turned to parenting styles when Khloe praised Kourtney for taking a more relaxed role in co-parenting with her husband Travis Barker. '[Caitlyn] never tried to be dad,' Khloe said, referencing their late father Robert. 'And I always appreciated and respected that.'
However, Kourtney offered a different take. 'Okay, so, that wasn't my experience,' she responded. 'But maybe that's why it became your experience. So [I'm] grateful for that for you.'
She went on to recall tense moments from her youth. 'I would be like, 'I wanna call my Dad,' and [Caitlyn] would hang up the phone. We would have yelling wars.' Kourtney said Jenner even imposed strict rules on her social life: 'Certain friends can't come over.'
Kourtney explained that these confrontations eventually led her to move in with her father Robert before his death from esophageal cancer in 2003. Khloe admitted she once assumed the friction came from Kourtney feeling that Caitlyn was 'replacing dad,' though she added: 'Not that he did, no one could replace dad.'
During their marriage, Caitlyn and Kris welcomed daughters Kendall and Kylie, and Caitlyn also became step-parent to Kourtney, Khloe, Kim, and Rob. From previous relationships, Caitlyn has four more children - Brody, Burt, Brandon, and Cassandra.
Years after her 2015 transition, Caitlyn opened up in an interview with Diane Sawyer on 20/20 about the state of her relationships with her children. 'Some [of my children] I have remained very close to. A couple of them… I'm a little more distant,' she said.
'I have to admit, I'll sit here and wonder, 'Is it because of my transitioning? Or is it because their life is so busy that they don't call, like, all the time? Nobody calls that much. I mostly reach out to them. Obviously, the Jenner side calls more, but they all have their own lives.'
This year, Brody Jenner offered his own perspective during an episode of Special Forces: World's Toughest Test, reflecting on Caitlyn's absence during his childhood.
'I had an incredible mother. Father, Bruce, at the time, wasn't around that much,' he shared, according to E! News.
However, Brody revealed that their relationship has seen some healing: 'Just recently, I got a real, sincere apology. It was the first time in my life that I've ever gotten an apology. You know, I'm sorry for not being there, and honestly, it meant a lot.'

Kourtney Kardashian slammed as ‘insane' for controversial parenting move & even sister Khloe thinks it's ‘crazy'
KOURTNEY Kardashian has been slammed by fans as 'insane' and 'dysfunctional' after sharing her controversial parenting style. The 46-year-old reality TV star even left her sister and mum-of-two Khloe, 40, stunned by her 'crazy' claims.

Attachment parenting is a child-rearing philosophy centred around building a strong emotional bond between a parent and child. It emphasises empathy, responsiveness and close physical and emotional connection, especially during infancy and early childhood. There is also a strong importance placed on breastfeeding, baby-wearing, avoiding 'baby training' and responding with sensitivity. Advertisement The Kardashians star who tied the knot with Travis Barker back in 2022 and gave birth to their son, Rocky Thirteen Barker, on November 1, 2023, at a hospital in Los Angeles, admitted that contact naps are of high importance to her and baby Rocky. 19 months after Rocky's birth, not only does Kourtney still sleep in the same room as him, but she even holds him for all of his naps too. Revealing all on her 'attachment style parenting', Kourtney shared: 'One thing I did differently this time, I've always shared a bed with the other kids, but we share a room with Rocky.' When it comes to defining attachment style parenting, Kourtney added: 'I think it's not separating for as much as possible in the first three years. Advertisement 'It really helps nurture their secure attachment. It's just what my instincts tell me and what they tell me to do.' Unlike Khloe, who is mother to True, six, and Tatum, two, Kourtney 'doesn't really have a schedule' with her 19-month-old baby. Kourtney Kardashian scolded over parenting style with baby Rocky as fans rage 'be thankful for your privilege' Kourtney told her sister: 'You are very scheduled and planned out - activities, outfits, bedtimes, food. 'We have a general time but as babies, we have no schedule. Rocky doesn't really have a schedule. Advertisement 'Today we got up at 7am, made breakfast for the kids and they got out the door and I noticed he was so tired at around 8:30am, and so we nursed in bed and he went to sleep. We go with the flow.' It really helps nurture their secure attachment. It's just what my instincts tell me Kourtney Kardashian Not only this, but Kourtney also admitted: 'With the attachment style parenting, I hold him for his naps. The whole time.' To this, Khloe gasped: 'Wow, that's crazy to me.' Kourtney then confirmed: 'He's 23lbs…Once he took a nap for five hours. Advertisement Different parenting styles explained There are four recognised styles of parenting explained below: Authoritarian Parenting What some might describe as "regimental" or "strict" parenting. Parents with this style focus on strict rules, obedience, and discipline. Authoritarian parents take over the decision-making power, rarely giving children any input in the matter. When it comes to rules, you believe it's "my way or the highway". Permissive Parenting Often referred to as "soft parenting" or "yes mums/dads". Permissive parents are lenient, only stepping in when there's a serious problem. They're quite forgiving and they adopt an attitude of "kids will be kids". Oftentimes they act more like friends than authoritative figures. Authoritative Parenting Authoritative parents provide their children with rules and boundaries, but they also give them the freedom to make decisions. With an authoritative parenting style, parents validate their children's feelings while also making it clear that the adults are ultimately in charge. They use positive reinforcement techniques, like praise and reward systems, as opposed to harsh punishments. Neglectful or Uninvolved Parenting Essentially, neglectful parents ignore their children, who receive little guidance, nurturing, and parental attention. They don't set rules or expectations, and they tend to have minimal knowledge about what their children are doing. Uninvolved parents expect children to raise themselves. They don't devote much time or energy to meeting children's basic needs. Uninvolved parents may be neglectful but it's not always intentional. A parent with mental health issues or substance abuse problems, for example, may not be able to care for a child's physical or emotional needs consistently. 'I'll sit in our little chair and I still have my little breastfeeding pillow so he'll lay on there and my arm is under. 'Then I have a little radiation blanket that I put over to protect from EMFs from phone use. 'I'll do extended breastfeeding, co-sleeping.' Fans react But social media users were left stunned by Kourtney's 'crazy' style of parenting and many eagerly raced to share their thoughts. Advertisement One person said: "The luxury of being rich. Can afford to sit there for three to five hours. Maids, nannies, etc to help with the house and other kids.' I'm sorry but that's ridiculous TikTok user Another added: 'I love it how Kourtney talks as if she's a wonderful mother as if we don't all know how dysfunctional her three other children are.' A third commented: 'That is crazy!!' Whilst someone else slammed: 'I'm sorry but that's ridiculous.' Advertisement Despite this, other parents confessed that they too have a similar parenting style to Kourtney. One mother explained: 'I've held my son for every nap for the past two years and I have no nanny, no maids, no money. It's definitely possible, especially if you only have one baby!' A second chimed in: 'With my first baby I would contact nap and I'd sit in the living room holding him while he slept.' Meanwhile, another parent admitted: 'I nap with my 21-month-old for two hours a day. It's amazing. I love it.'

Kylie Jenner reveals details of her boob job - here's what no one's talking abou
If we all sit still, breathe evenly, and act like Kylie Jenner casually revealing her boob job specs in a TikTok comment isn't a cultural earthquake, maybe she'll finally disclose what ancient Sumerian magic gave her those lips. Or was it just six lip liners and the right lighting? Maybe one day she'll tell us. In a plot twist worthy of endless cultural discourse (you're in the right place), Kylie Jenner, 27-year-old lip kit queen and reality TV shapeshifter, decided to reveal the exact specs of her breast implants. Not on a talk show. Not in Vogue. But in the comments section of a TikTok…like a true Gen Zer. On June 2, British YouTuber Rachel Leary joined legions of fans who have called for Kylie to get specific about how she got her enviable rack – but this time, Kylie actually answered. 'Girl, please can you tell us what it is you asked for when you had your boobs done?' Leary said in the video. 'To me, you've got what I am looking for to have done in terms of a boob job. It's the most perfect, natural looking boob job ever. They're still big, but whatever way you had the implants, if they are implants, or if you had fat transfer, to me it is perfection. That is what I aspire mine to look like.' The next day, Kylie commented on the post from her verified account: '445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! hope this helps lol.' This is, of course, a major shift from her earlier stance, in which she claimed her only enhancement was filler – and even that took a long time for her to admit. First, in 2014, when asked about her obviously enlarged lips, she told E!: 'In pictures, I put them out a lot. I think big lips are awesome. I love overlining my lips,' implying that lip liner explained her pout. Even as recently as 2023, Kylie said on The Kardashians: 'One of the biggest misconceptions is that I was an insecure child and got a bunch of surgery, which is false. I've only gotten fillers.' To be fair, Kylie did later correct this, telling W Magazine later that year she had a boob job before giving birth to Stormi, her daughter and future bestselling tell-all memoirist (hopefully). She reflected: 'I got my breasts done before Stormi, not thinking I would have a child when I was 20. Like, they were still healing.' She continued: 'I had beautiful breasts… and I just wish I never got them done.' Naturally, the internet collapsed under the weight of Kylie's new TikTok admission. @YSLONIKA posted, 'Kylie Jenner casually sharing her breast implant details with this girl… she's so REAL.' Meanwhile, @yasscorset screamed the collective betrayal of a generation: 'SHE SWORE IT WAS THAT DAMN VICTORIA'S SECRET BRA.' And here we arrive at the central question: is this feminism? Should we celebrate Kylie's admission? Or is it just late-stage influencer capitalism with a silicone twist? Transparency? Check. Body autonomy? Check. Reparations for the psychological damage inflicted on Gen Z girls who thought a push-up bra could defy gravity and physics? Pending. On one hand, Kylie sharing the details – unprompted, no less – is a genuinely helpful gesture to her fans who may have compared their own bodies to Kylie's for years and found their non-surgical breasts wanting. She gave specifics. She named a surgeon. She added exclamation marks , which is basically Gen Z for 'I care about you.' In a world of euphemisms like 'refreshed,' 'sculpted,' 'just water and sleep!' (we're looking at you Lindsay Lohan), her bluntness feels weirdly radical. There's something to be said for the power of a woman openly discussing plastic surgery, demystifying the pressure to be 'naturally' flawless. But then… the years of denial . The fillers she didn't have. The bras that lied. The immaculate lips supposedly built from nothing but elbow grease and MAC Spice. That's not empowerment; that's gaslighting with good lighting. As @JasmeenD pointed out: 'It took her 10 years for her to be a girl's girl BTW!!!! Now we wait another 10 years for her to tell us her BBL doctor.' In the end, Kylie's revelation is both too little, too late and weirdly refreshing. It's like an apology from your toxic 2016 boyfriend who swore he didn't know how Tinder got on his phone – you knew all along, you're still mad, but at least you have a little closure. No matter how often plastic surgery is repackaged as 'self-care' or bodily autonomy, the truth remains: invasive and often dangerous procedures that women undergo to meet unrealistic, male-gaze-driven beauty standards are as tragic as, deep down, we all know they are. The only thing worse? Lying about cosmetic procedures so women feel worse about themselves for not naturally living up to those beauty standards. None of that is to say that you can really blame Kylie for her reticence to come clean. She grew up in the public eye under constant media scrutiny for her appearance in a family known for their love of beauty enhancements. Even more so, Kylie doesn't actually owe us anything; her body belongs to her, and she has every right to do whatever she wants with it without issuing a press release. More Trending However, she's also in the public eye in a significant way and has been a major influence on countless young girls and their perceptions of beauty. So, to the extent that Kylie's new willingness to share details signals personal growth – and an admission that even she can't naturally meet the impossible standards placed on women – it's something to celebrate. But is she a feminist icon? Maybe not. Still, in this increasingly absurd cultural landscape of 12-year-olds using retinol and women risking their lives getting dodgy BBLs in foreign countries, Kylie's transparency is a bittersweet, backwards kind of progress.
