Apparently, everything we have heard so far with regards to the Kardashian-Jenner clan is a stone cold lie. Though this is not that surprising considering they are the product of a reality television show, but we always assumed that a couple things were at least sort of true.

One of them being that Kris Jenner was indeed the family's matriarch, keeping everyone under her control, acting the way she wants to, and endorsing the diet pills and waist trainers on Instagram she wants to.

Well, this might not be the case at all. Second eldest Kardashian sibling Kim Kardashian refuted these claims in a video on her app promoting her cover on Editorialist magazine. She says "It's so funny because I'll hear stories like, 'Kris Jenner is the puppet master, having all of her kids do this and that,' and I'm like, 'If they only knew." In a shocking twist of events, it turns out that Kim's "the one that will be like, 'Kylie, do this. Kendall, you should do this.'"
