The Kardashians are perhaps the most well-known family on the globe. Their harrowing trials, tribulations, breakdowns and disputes pale in comparison to the dark secrets they’ve tried to keep out of the spotlight. Being in this family is not easy, so it seems. From keeping Caitlyn Jenner’s gender issues a secret for years to Kim Kardashian confessing she outright knew her marriage to Kris Humphries wouldn’t last, here are the dark secrets this family tried to hide.
For years the Kardashian family hid Bruce Jenner’s desire to be a woman. In fact, daughters Kendall and Kylie Jenner caught him in a dress one time and kept it a secret. Speaking with Diane Sawyer, in 2015, before he changed her name to Caitlyn and before many of the surgeries, Bruce shared, “Any time someone walked into the room, the camera turned on because Kendall thought Kylie was stealing clothes from her. They came home and turned on the computer and [went] ‘Oh my God!'” That was just one incident. Bruce also recalled the time step-daughter Kim Kardashian saw him walking around in women’s clothes. As he recalled, Kim spotted him then immediately “kind of walked out, jumped in the car and went for a ride.”
In Caitlyn’s 2017 memoir, The Secrets of My Life, she recalls touring the world delivering motivational speeches after winning the 1978 Olympics. But underneath the business suit Bruce was wearing, was something else. “They don’t know that underneath the business suit I am wearing panties and a bra,” she wrote, according to a People excerpt. “That I am not Bruce Jenner but a woman I will come to call Caitlyn, who still has to be Bruce except for stolen moments where I can be my authentic self. The speech that I give is called ‘Finding the Champion Within.’ All bullsh*t.”
