The Kardashians is a reality series that differs significantly from its predecessor Keeping Up With the Kardashians. The most significant change has been the shift away from the sisters’ personal lives, as the series now tends to focus on the promotion of Kardashian/Jenner business empire. With the sisters now acting as executive producers and maintaining control over what narratives are shared on their “reality” series, what is shown on The Kardashians tends to be an extension of their social media presence, which presents a tightly controlled narrative about their lives. Due to unfortunate circumstances in her personal life, the exception to this rule has been the middle sister, Khloé Kardashian.
