Here’s a question no one has ever been able to answer for me: How originally, did the Kardashian’s become famous in the first place? What exactly have they done with their lives to merit such continual attention?
It’s an honest question because I really don’t know. Which perhaps I should wear as a badge of pride; if the only thing they are famous for is getting butt implants or somesuch it really doesn’t say much about our “culture”.
The father was one of OJ’s lawyers.
You can thanks Ryan Seacrest. He saw the pot of gold in the union with 8 kids between them. An Olympic hero and the wife of Robert Kardashian. Remember him?
2)Kim became famous when a sex tape she appeared in was released to the public(some say her mother negotiated a large sum of money from the distributor mimicking a similar situation that happened to Kim's good friend Paris Hilton).
3)Because of their growing notoriety Ryan Seacrest thought up the idea of their reality show.
I know all this by reading things over the years while managing to have never viewed one episode of their show.
I do not know but Ryan Seacrest from American Idol is involved in the show https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_Seacrest
He is worth $330 million.... He has had many beards as they are attracted to the money. Julianne Hough being the best known. He brother likes ah er Ryan if you get my drift.
When the girls' actual father, Robert Kardashian, was one of O.J. Simpson's lawyers and the O.J. murder trial was televised for days on end, the name entered the mainstream awareness. Later when Bob Kardashian's wife Kim divorced him and married Bruce Jenner, she became Bruce's manager and began promoting him to wring as much money from his "brand" as possible. Along the way, she also began promoting the kids, along the lines of Paris Hilton or similarly vapid lookatmees. Eventually she landed the cable show and that has put them under the microscope for what — seven seasons? I believe she also has licensing agreements or some kind of deal with several tabloids, who pay to photograph the family members and print as many as five articles about them in every issue. The DailyMail is always loaded with Kartrashian articles. Sick.
