Kris Jenner has once again defended daughter Kylie Jenner against the “nepo baby” label. This time, the momager explained how Kylie used her own earnings to launch Kylie Cosmetics. Jenner addressed the topic during Disney’s “Created in LA,” a first-of-its-kind event that brought more than 350 top creators together in Los Angeles.
‘Defensive’ Kris Jenner reveals ‘nepo baby’ daughter Kylie started business with her ‘own’ money
The two-day gathering, created with creator Jon Youshaei, focused on collaboration, creative processes, and the next generation of storytellers.
During the event, Kris pushed back on the idea that she simply funded Kylie’s business.
“You can call her a, what do they call them, Nepo Babies or whatever,” Kris said. “But it wasn’t like I was just, you know, passing out $1,000 bills and saying, oh, let’s go build a business.”
Instead, Kris said she told Kylie to use money she earned while filming Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Kylie started filming the reality show when she was just 9 years old.
“I said to her, look, you have your money from Keeping Up, and I said, if you’re going to start this business, you’re going to use your own money,” Kris explained. She then added, “And if you win, you win.”
Kris also recalled joking about Kylie’s lipstick choices. “If you run out of [lipstick], you better pick good colors; you’ll be wearing this lipstick for the rest of the day,” she said.
The comments echo Kris’ earlier defense of Kylie’s business success. In 2019, Kris called Kylie “self-made” during an interview with CBS Sunday Morning. She acknowledged that Kylie inherited a powerful platform through her family. However, she stressed that her daughter built her fortune through her own work.
Kylie also addressed the debate that year. She acknowledged that she had “a lot of help and a huge platform.” However, she said she did not inherit her money.
Meanwhile, Kylie Cosmetics launched in 2015 with three Lip Kits. The brand later expanded into Ulta. Kylie also earned money through endorsements, television, fashion, and social media.
