00:00 They are arguably the most famous family in the world.
00:03 And where there is fame and fortune, there is usually a fair share of scandals.
00:07 Scandals on scandals on scandals.
00:10 What more could we expect from America's most favorite reality TV family?
00:16 I want to talk about them.
00:17 What?
00:18 They've ruined the world.
00:19 Oh my god. Anyway, here we go.
00:22 Here's a countdown of the 10 most scandalous secrets that the Kardashian family
00:27 has tried to keep hidden from you, the public.
00:29 Be nice.
00:30 Firstly, this scandal is crazy.
00:37 Kim Kardashian was investigated by the FBI after getting $250,000 delivered in a trash bag.
00:44 The FBI grilled Kim Kardashian as part of one of the biggest trials Hollywood has ever seen.
00:50 See, according to a March 2023 Bloomberg Businessweek report,
00:55 Kim Kardashian was questioned by the feds as part of an investigation into a Malaysian man
01:01 named Jauh Lo from Malaysia, obviously.
01:04 You know that man, Jauh Lo, who was involved in a massive embezzlement scandal?
01:08 Well, in 2019, Kim told the FBI that she played backer at in a Las Vegas casino with Lo
01:14 and some other secret scandalous people.
01:16 And guess what?
01:17 Kim won big, obviously.
01:19 $250,000 big.
01:22 And when Kim went to cash out, the casino actually handed her a quarter of a million dollars
01:27 in a trash bag full of $100 bills.
01:30 Kim Kardashian was once given $250,000 cash in a trash bag after gambling with Jauh Lo,
01:36 according to FBI documents.
01:38 According to the FBI, Kim put the trash bag full of cash into her carry-on bag
01:43 and boarded a Southwest Airlines flight right back to LA.
01:46 Imagine being the security person at that airport, seeing $2,500 bills going through
01:53 that x-ray, yeah, in a trash bag.
01:56 So some eyebrows were raised after that Vegas trip, to say the least.
02:00 The next scandal is one for the ages.
02:03 Kris Jenner allegedly mistreated all of her staff on her now-canceled talk show.
02:07 Radar Online reported that the talk show's six-week test run will not move forward for
02:12 a full-season pickup.
02:14 In 2013, the Kardashian mama herself got a shot at her own major network talk show.
02:19 The show was called "Kris," and it aired on Fox.
02:22 But the reason you haven't heard of it is because it lasted just about six weeks.
02:27 See, the show had a hard time gaining viewers, and Fox was like, "Uh, you're done, Kris."
02:32 Later on, a Big Shot Flox employee would comment on the cancelling of her show,
02:37 claiming that Jenner's performance was just "pretty uninteresting."
02:41 But what not many people know is that behind the scenes, Kris Jenner was a nightmare to
02:46 work with.
02:46 An anonymous source that worked on the behind-the-scenes crew claimed that working with Kris
02:51 was "borderline unbearable."
02:53 She would show up on set hungover and demand her beauty team to fix her up and make her
02:57 look stunning.
02:58 Wow.
02:59 Imagine having the luxury of a beauty team to fix you up when you wake up hungover on
03:03 a Sunday morning?
03:04 I wish.
03:04 Instead, I have a bathroom mirror that reminds me of my regrets from the prior night.
03:10 Anyways, Kris would later take on Twitter to claim that all of the rumors flying around
03:14 her show were false.
03:16 The next scandal that she and the rest of the family had to deal with was Kendall Jenner
03:20 allegedly hooked up with Justin Bieber, who later married her best friend, God.
03:25 That's right, Kendall Jenner usually keeps her romantic life far away from keeping up.
03:30 But when you slay as hard as Kendall, not everything stays private.
03:34 In fact, Kendall's longtime bestie, Hailey Bieber, occasionally drops by and makes an
03:38 appearance on the show.
03:40 And while their close friendship is well known, one thing that's not talked about on camera
03:44 is the gossip that Kendall and Justin Bieber may have had a fling between 2014 and 2015.
03:50 Juicy.
03:51 Justin seemed to actually confirm those rumors, saying that him and Kendall briefly dated
03:56 in 2015, but stated it was never serious.
03:59 During a YouTube video that Kendall and Hailey filmed at some point recently, they were doing
04:04 a Q&A where they were actually asked if they had ever kissed the same person, and a little
04:09 laugh attack ensued.
04:10 The next piece of juicy, scandalous gossip was the time when Kris Jenner allegedly paid
04:19 off an ex-boyfriend who claimed that she cheated on Caitlyn Jenner.
04:23 In her 2013 memoir, Kris Jenner and All Things Kardashian, Kris admitted to having an affair
04:29 while she was married to her first husband, Robert.
04:31 However, it's been suggested that Kris Jenner didn't share the full story of her infidelity
04:36 and actually paid off her ex-husband to keep him from talking.
04:39 The man she had the affair with was later identified as Todd Waterman.
04:42 Todd himself claimed that the affair continued well into Jenner's relationship with her second
04:47 husband, Bruce.
04:48 Waterman even appeared on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians as a way to legally
04:53 prevent him from talking about the affair.
04:56 It was reported that Waterman was paid somewhere between $15,000 to $20,000 for his brief appearance
05:02 on the show.
05:03 Well, Mr. Waterman, that seems a little shady now, doesn't it?
05:06 And by the way, Caitlyn Jenner, Bruce Jenner, same person, as we know.
05:11 The Kardashians have also now been accused of using sweatshops to create their products.
05:16 In 2011, all the Kardashians were involved in a sweatshop investigation, where some Kardashian
05:22 branded products were accused of being made in foreign factories with just horrendous
05:26 work conditions.
05:28 The brands under scrutiny included the K-Dash by Kardashian label, the Kris Jenner collection,
05:33 and Shoe Dazzle, which Kim endorses.
05:35 The family rep at the time claimed the Kardashians take the situation very seriously and have
05:41 since been assured by all of their manufacturers that the factories are policed regularly.
05:46 They added that if there is any evidence of an illegal operation, then they will stop
05:50 immediately working with that manufacturer.
05:53 The next piece of scandal comes from Kylie Jenner lying about getting lip fillers.
05:58 Before Kylie founded her billion dollar enterprise, Kylie Cosmetics, through the sales of her
06:03 famous lip kits, she was caught trying to downplay her cosmetic procedures.
06:07 In 2015, fans noticed Kylie's lips slowly enlarging over the course of a year.
06:12 Kylie spent months repeatedly denying and evading questions about her lips before eventually
06:17 admitting to the procedure on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
06:21 "So girl, if you're fillin' those lips, at least let us know where, 'cause I could use
06:26 a little bump."
06:27 "Oh, Kylie Cosmetics, you say?"
06:28 "Okay, girl, I'll keep that in mind.
06:30 But you better not be lying to me."
06:32 The next piece of scandal comes from Kris Humphries, Kim Kardashian's once husband,
06:37 claiming that Keeping Up With The Kardashians is in fact staged.
06:41 See we all know that reality TV is a little too good to be true sometimes.
06:45 And after their 72-day marriage fell apart, former NBA player Kris Humphries hasn't held
06:51 back his dislike for his ex-wife's family and their reality show alike.
06:55 Even though he appeared on the show, sources close to Humphries say he now insists that
06:59 the reality show is completely fake.
07:01 A source close to Kris claims that, "Kris says that Kim's reality shows are a total
07:06 sham.
07:07 He doesn't think there's anything real about the shows at all."
07:10 And apparently, not to break your hearts, but that famous scene where Kim loses her
07:14 earrings in the ocean, yeah, fake.
07:17 Kris claims that Kim was crying hysterically, but then miraculously, one of her younger
07:22 sisters found the earring in the ocean, where the group had just been swimming, hours ago.
07:26 See, you try finding a lost earring in the ocean.
07:29 My question is, I wonder how many takes it took for them to film that segment.
07:33 Okay, Kylie, for this take, you found the earring.
07:37 Let's see if it looks better on camera.
07:38 How about that?
07:39 The next scandal comes from Kim Kardashian being accused of wage theft by staff who work
07:44 in her home.
07:45 Kim's staff, chefs, and nannies have some strict rules to follow while working in the
07:50 Kardashian West home.
07:52 In May 2021, Kim K was facing a lawsuit from seven, yes, seven workers who accused her
07:59 of wage theft and retaliation.
08:01 The workers claimed that they weren't properly compensated for their working hours, they
08:05 didn't receive overtime pay, they were denied required breaks, and they didn't receive any
08:09 pay-related documents while working at her Santa Monica home.
08:13 Sounds pretty terrible.
08:14 Kim tried to shift the blame, immediately stating that the responsibility lies with
08:18 the company she hired to manage these workers.
08:21 And her spokesperson added on, saying these workers were hired and paid through a third
08:25 party vendor, and Kim is not party to the agreement that is made between the vendor
08:28 and the workers and blah blah blah blah blah, obviously passing on the blame.
08:32 The case is actually ongoing, but the family has chosen not to address the scandal publicly.
08:36 The next piece of scandal comes from the time that Amber Rose, Kanye West's once lover,
08:42 called Kim Kardashian a home wrecker, who actually pursued Kanye West while they were
08:46 both dating other people.
08:48 Before Kim and Kanye got together in 2012, they were both in serious relationships with
08:53 other people.
08:54 Kanye was dating model Amber Rose until 2010, while Kim was dating NFL star Reggie Bush.
09:00 Amber Rose claimed that Kim had been secretly in contact with Kanye while she was still
09:05 with Reggie, sending him photos.
09:08 Photos of what?
09:09 We don't know.
09:10 In 2012, Amber Rose was quoted saying, "Kim is the home wrecker.
09:14 I'm not the home wrecker.
09:15 I don't date men in relationships."
09:17 She added on, saying, "I just feel like Kim and her family manipulate the media and
09:21 want people to believe what they want them to believe.
09:24 You tell 'em, Amber."
09:25 The next scandal is a big one, and it's the time that Khloe Kardashian had private investigators
09:31 uncover Lamar Odom's cheating, while hiding it from her show.
09:35 In 2013, numerous stories started to circulate about Lamar Odom cheating on his then-wife
09:42 Khloe Kardashian.
09:43 This terribly disappointed fans who had seen the couple's seemingly happy relationship
09:49 on TV.
09:50 As we know, though, TV remains TV.
09:53 Because later on, Odom admitted to infidelity early in his marriage to Khloe.
09:58 Allegedly, Khloe actually knew about the infidelity a year before it became public, and hired
10:03 a private investigator to track her husband.
10:07 Despite presenting a happy face on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, as well as their
10:11 own show, Khloe and Lamar, Khloe was secretly mistrustful of her then-husband Odom.
10:17 A source claimed that Khloe had gotten access to copies of text messages between Lamar and
10:22 other women.
10:23 Hmm, very interesting.
10:24 And here's the thing.
10:26 If there's one lesson that we learned today, it's that if you ever lose jewelry in the
10:31 ocean, just call Kylie Jenner.
10:34 She's got your back.
10:36 Which of these Kardashian secrets surprised you the most?
