In-between the ad breaks and cliffhangers, Keeping Up With The Kardashians can have some deeply emotional moments. But just as the action happens off as well as on camera, so too do the tears.
In an oral history of the game-changing reality series for The Hollywood Reporter, Kendall doesn’t only admit that her absence on social media during the outrage caused by her Pepsi advert was down to her tears, but that the production crew will cry sometimes, too!
Kendall explained: ‘We have such a personal relationship with the crew. When one of us cries on the show usually you'll look around and the camera guy is crying and the producer is crying.’
And Kim added: ‘It really is an intimate relationship. These people see every last thing.’
A producer explained that sometimes the crew can amass 30 individuals, and at other times there’s just one iPhone recording footage for the show.
As for THAT Pepsi debacle? Kim explained that she prodded Kendall to say something about the incident, which was widely read to be trivilalising the Black Lives Matter movement: ‘We're not perfect, but you see these things in the media, like Kendall and Pepsi, where I see her at home crying, but in the media she looks another way because she's not addressing it. I'm just like, "This is wrong. You need to speak up."
‘She was like, "I don't ever want to show that footage of me crying." She was trying to not make excuses or be dramatic, but that was what she was going through at the time.’
