Elderly Honesty: Bruce Jenner’s Mother Speaks Out On Kris And The Kardashian Klan — “They Will Sleep With Anybody”

Damn Granny! Tell us how you really feel… Bruce Jenner’s mother was never too fond of those Kardashian women…but we bet Kris Jenner’s journey to the dark side and Kimmy Cakes’ latest photo shoot made her reach for her meds for sure. Via PageSix : Bruce Jenner’s mom, Esther Jenner, has come out against former daughter-in-law, Kris Jenner, and her brood of reality star children. When asked by the Daily Mail if the Kardashian matriarch, 59, is “controlling,” Esther, 88, answered, “That’s accurate. I don’t know why she is. I don’t think she treated anybody very well.” “She could insult you with a big smile on her face, I know,” she continued. “What do you do with a person like that? You’re going to avoid them if possible. She was backstabbing as far as my grandchildren were concerned, and that is something I can’t stand. She’s domineering — it’s do it her way, or there’s no way. I had very little to do with Kris. I stayed away from her as much as I could.” Fans of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” are well aware of the bad blood between Esther and Kris. Despite a failed attempt to patch things up, Esther says she’s happy Bruce, 65, and Kris are divorcing after 23 years of marriage. “Hallelujah. It was necessary,” she said. “I hope she changes her name back to Kardashian, I don’t want her to carry the name,” Esther added about Kris. And as for her stepgrandchildren, she doesn’t care for them much, either — particularly Kim and Kourtney Kardashian. “Oh my God, the ways the girls display themselves … and it’s all surgical work they’ve had done, what are they trying to prove?” she asked. “Kris hasn’t brought them up with any morals, you know, go out and go sleep with anybody … that sort of thing, you wouldn’t tell your own children to do that.” Although she’s not a fan of the family’s mega-popular reality show, she keeps abreast of Bruce in the headlines, specifically his ever-changing looks. “I love him, no matter what,” she said. “There’s such raunchy publicity all the time. I don’t know. I’ve brought this up to him on the phone when we’ve talked and he says, ‘Mom, you can’t believe this stuff,’ he said you can’t pay any attention to this stuff and I said, ‘Well, I want to tell you one thing, Bruce, I don’t care if what they’re putting out is true or false, it’s not going to change my love for you,’ and it’s true, that’s exactly how I feel, but I don’t like it.” But one thing Esther doesn’t support is Bruce’s long hair, which she says he wears like a “teenage rebel.” “I hate his hair, I tell him it’s ugly,” she said. “That is ridiculous.” Reps for Kris and Bruce Jenner did not immediately respond to a request for comment. You gotta love how elderly women hold NOTHING back. Grandma just said out loud what we’ve all been saying amongst ourselves for years. Wonder what she has to say about her lil fast-azz blood granddaughter though? Kylie started getting knifed up and chasing Black peen down the street even earlier than the rest of them…and she bears the “precious” Jenner name.

It’s “Only” A Video: Director Responsible For Nicki’s Nazi-ish Lyric Video Defends His Art — “Sorry, I’m Not Sorry.”

Fair or too far? Via BusinessInsider : Nicki Minaj was blasted this week for her new “Only” lyric music video, which resembled cartoonish Nazi propaganda. On Tuesday, Minaj finally tweeted an apology of sorts after both her fans and the Anti-Defamation League noted the video’s insensitive similarities to Nazi imagery, including red swastika-like flags and armbands on soldiers. While Minaj tried to defend herself by saying “I didn’t come up w/the concept, but I’m very sorry & take full responsibility if it has offended anyone,” the music video’s director, Jeff Osborne, refuses to apologize. “I’m not apologizing for my work, nor will I dodge the immediate question,” he wrote in a MySpace post late Tuesday. “The flags, armbands, and gas mask (and perhaps my use of symmetry?) are all representative of Nazism.” Osborne, who also worked with Minaj on her “Anaconda” lyric video, added, “If my work is misinterpreted because it’s not a sappy tearjerker, sorry I’m not sorry.” “Before I start, be clear that these are my personal views and not the views of Nicki Minaj, Drake, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, or Young Money. First, I’m not apologizing for my work, nor will I dodge the immediate question. The flags, armbands, and gas mask (and perhaps my use of symmetry?) are all representative of Nazism. But a majority of the recognizable models/symbols are American: MQ9 Reaper Drone, F22 Raptor, Sidewinder missile, security cameras, M60, SWAT uniform, General’s uniform, the Supreme court, and the Lincoln Memorial. What’s also American is the 1st Amendment, which I’ve unexpectedly succeeded in showing how we willfully squeeze ourselves out of that right every day. Despite the fact heavy religious and economic themes were glossed over, there’s also Russian T-90 tanks, Belgian FN FAL, German mp5 (not manufactured until 1966), an Italian Ferrari, and a Vatican Pope. As far as an explanation, I think its actually important to remind younger generations of atrocities that occurred in the past as a way to prevent them from happening in the future. And the most effective way of connecting with people today is through social media and pop culture. So if my work is misinterpreted because it’s not a sappy tearjerker, sorry I’m not sorry. What else is trending?” And at the end of the day, somehow we doubt this guy, who completely stood up in his choice to depict Nazism and basically said “and what?” won’t face the same level of backlash from this that Nicki will…SMH.
