Why Did Kim Kardashian Sue Father Robert’s Ex for USD 500K? Explained

As a lifestyle expert with years of experience in navigating the tumultuous world of celebrity dynamics, I must say the Kardashian-Jenner family saga is never short of surprises. The revelations from Robert Kardashian Sr.’s diary certainly shook the foundation of their seemingly perfect image.


One way to rephrase the given text while maintaining its meaning is:

Apart from that, he also created a controversial portrait of his former spouse, Kris Jenner, which depicted her infidelity during their relationship from 1989 to 1990. This artwork sparked allegations of copyright infringement by the Kardashians in a subsequent lawsuit. However, the sensational disclosures made waves everywhere.

Based on diary entries from the past, it appears that Kris Jenner may not have always prioritized her children, as evidenced by incidents such as leaving them without notice for extended periods and failing to provide emergency contact information. On August 24, 1989, according to Court House News, Rob wrote an entry stating that Kris had physically abused Kim and threatened to kill her. In another entry from December 15, 1989, Robert Sr. noted that Kris had left the children alone on Christmas and was unable to organize her life sufficiently to be with them. Furthermore, in a different entry, he wrote that Kris had been absent from home and spending nights elsewhere.

Initially, when this secret diary was exposed by a popular tabloid, the Kardashians asserted that they had no knowledge of it. They also claimed that Ellen Pearson concealed the diary and family photographs from them, and her actions were not innocent. According to them, she hid these items with the explicit purpose of leveraging Robert Kardashian’s fame and wealth in the future, or to prevent the Kardashian siblings from enjoying private information and memories about their family and childhood, which went against Robert Kardashian’s expressed wishes and bequests.

The content of the diary was worth millions, and Pearsons had already licensed the journal excerpts to Bauer Publishing LP for publishing in a “bookazine” format. But the Kardashian family filed a lawsuit against Ellen and sued for $500,000 for copyright violation and conversion. Not only that, they even demanded the return of their property and assets.

As stated in an article on E!Online, Kris Jenner, along with Kimberly, Khloé, Kourtney, and Robert (Jr) Kardashian, have reached a settlement in their lawsuit against Ellen Pearson Kardashian. The diaries and photos that were at the center of the dispute have been returned to the Kardashians. All other details concerning the settlement have been kept confidential. Ellen will proceed with her defamation case in state court.
