However, TV momager Kris Jenner is now speaking out to give more insight into their big decion. In WWD‘s new special “Beauty Inc.” issue featuring Jenner, the 64-year-old reality star explains that social media was a factor in ending KUWTK . “When we first started, there was no Instagram or Snapchat or other social media platforms.”
She went on to say,
“The world has changed. Now there are so many, the viewer doesn’t have to wait three or four months to see an episode. We can give them all of the information anyone would ever want to know in real time.”
Despite those changes, she doesn’t think social media is a bad thing. “Social media is the fastest and most controlled way to get the message out,” she continues. “The consumer gets to see the products the girls are working on in real time, and they know we’re going to get it out the door pretty quickly. The girls want them to be part of the journey to keep them engaged.”
Jenner has been widely praised for the Kardashian’s and Jenner’s success. Although the show will be coming to an end, we’re sure she has many things lined up for the girls to keep them connected with their loyal fans.
