Kris Jenner Secures $100M Deal For The Kardashian Clan By Threatening To Leave E! Network—Report

The Kardashian family just signed a $100M deal with E. Before managing such a feat, however, a report claims the family threatened to leave the network.

Page Six reports that the Kardashian clan threatened to leave the network that launched them to fame if they would not be given a much more lucrative deal. Most of the threatening is said to have been carried out by the successful matriarch of the clan, Kris Jenner. “This has been in the works for almost a year. Kris is a fierce negotiator . . . She was playing major hardball and threatening to leave,” the insider said.

In the end, the network was forced to agree to whatever terms Kris wanted just to keep the famous family at all costs, which Page Six had reported to have reached $100 million. This is said to be the highest in TV history for a reality show.

With this new deal, the world would see much more of the Kardashian family, not just through their family’s reality show, ”Keeping Up With the Kardashians.” This is a huge deal, which will see their involvement with the network and its digital properties expand well into the future,” a source told Page Six, which broke the news on the massive deal.

Future expansion plans include Kim and Khloe probably getting new shows for the network, as well as Kylie and Kendall Jenner. The young Jenner sisters might get their own shows targeting the younger demographics, especially since both of them have risen quickly to fame recently. Kendall has become an IT model since starting her career in 2014, while Kylie is also being noticed for her fashion sense and style.

Bruce Jenner and Kanye West are reportedly not part of the new massive deal. However, there are reports claiming Bruce would be getting his own show in the network featuring his sex transition. Kanye West, on the other hand, could still be seen in “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.” As of the moment, however, Hollywood Reporter claims that E parent NBC Universal is still trying to dissuade people from believing that the deal has reached $100 million and said it is "grossly inaccurate."
