Kathie Lee Gifford and Kris Jenner’s Longtime Friendship Hits an Impasse: ‘They Barely Speak’
Kris Jenner was once thick as thieves with Kathie Lee Gifford from their Scripture study days in the ’70s — but sources say the friendship made a gradual Exodus and is no longer in play.
“They were sisters in Christ,” says a family insider. “But Kris is practically unrecognizable now. The Botox, the brand deals, the billion-dollar scandals — that’s not what Kathie Lee signed up for.”
Kathie Lee once praised Kris as “one call away” during an appearance on The Katie McGrady Show, but insiders say those calls stopped coming. “They talked about Scripture. Now Kris talks about search engine optimization,” says one friend. “It’s not personal, it’s spiritual. Kris has found a new god — fame.”
Despite being godmother to Kendall and Kylie, Kathie Lee has been quietly MIA at Kardashian birthdays and baby showers — opting instead for subtle jabs about “empty celebrity culture.”
“She still loves Kris,” says the source. “But she doesn’t know her anymore. “They barely speak. The only thing holy between them now is the silence.”
