Kris Jenner reveals she turned down ‘big blockbuster’ job for rarely-seen Rob & admits she ‘doesn’t always know best’
KRIS Jenner has opened up about a business opportunity presented to her son Rob Kardashian that she regrets not pursuing.
The momager admitted she made a blunder by advising her only son to pass up a major business deal.
Kris made the confession during a guest appearance on Wednesday’s episode of The Martha Stewart Podcast.
The 80-year-old host had some hard-hitting questions for the Kardashian-Jenner matriarch, including if she regretted turning down an opportunity that later became a “big blockbuster” success.
The Hulu star didn’t hesitate with her response, name-dropping a now widely-successful company that once approached her son with a business proposal.
“You know what, it’s so funny. I had this conversation with somebody the other day. I think it was Emma Grede from SKIMS; she works with us on Good American.

“She said, ‘remember the time somebody wanted to work with Rob [Kardashian]’ in the backend of it, I think it was Tinder, the dating app.
“And I was like, ‘oh no, no hell no, no dating app’… I was like, ‘dating app, what are you talking about?'” Kris detailed her reaction.
The 66-year-old explained that she was not aware of the potential value of the dating app, leading her to pass on the collaboration.
“I had no idea. And we were talking about it yesterday, and we were laughing, and I said ‘oh my gosh,’ you know, how funny.”

Kris – who manages all six of her children’s careers – admitted that she sometimes does miss the mark.
“Isn’t that crazy that I just, I did not get it at the time? You know, mamma doesn’t always no best, but I try. I try,” she said.
Over the years, Rob has tried his hand at other business ventures, including a hot sauce brand, sock collection, clothing line, and soda collaboration.
And while the Arthur George founder initially found fame with his siblings in the reality TV world, he has since stepped away from the small screen.
Rob has kept a low profile in recent years, and he reportedly opted out of his family’s new Hulu series, The Kardashians.
YOU CAN’T HIDE
However, the KUWTK alum made a rare appearance in a recent episode, despite his attempts to hide from the cameras.
The scene was of a dinner party Kris hosted at her house with the Kardashian siblings, Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, Travis Barker, Scott Disick, and more friends.
As everyone was gathering around the table, Rob’s sister. Khloe Kardashian tapped her glass and made a speech.
Over her shoulder, Rob’s tattooed arm and part of his face, and baseball cap, were seen.
Rob smiled as Khloe made her speech.
He slightly raised his shot glass but appeared to be trying to hide behind Khloe, who was taller than him.
He was not seen in the rest of the episode, nor did he have any speaking lines.
LEGAL DRAMA
Rob has also been dealing with his legal drama with his ex, Blac Chyna, 34, the mother of his 6-year-old daughter, Dream.
Chyna originally planned to take the reality star to court in Los Angeles for sharing graphic images of her online back in 2017 during their previous, volatile relationship.
The divisive trial will no longer be happening, and the settlement amount the exes agreed to has yet to be disclosed to the public.
Last month, Rob’s lawyers filed a motion claiming they had reached a settlement agreement ahead of the trial, but she was trying to back out.

The judge ruled on June 21 to deny Rob’s motion to enforce the alleged settlement.
Chyna also lost her $100million defamation lawsuit against the Kardashian clan in May.
