What’s the story?
House of Kardashian.
I’ll need more information.
The Kardashian-Jenner family are the proverbial definition of Marmite: you either love them or loathe them. Over the past two decades, Kim Kardashian has ripped up the rule book in her rise to becoming a world-famous reality star with a billion-dollar business empire and a global fanbase.
She has continually proved her detractors wrong by building a brand that extends across fashion, fragrances and cosmetics to television, books, gaming, as well as law and politics.
Meanwhile, Kim’s quartet of sisters - Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie - and their “momager” matriarch Kris have also become multi-millionaires in their own right.
So, how did they do it?
This is the thorny subject that a new three-part Sky documentary series sets out to examine as it delves into the tightly controlled narrative behind their scandals, business deals and personal struggles.
What can we expect?
According to the blurb, House of Kardashian “confounds expectations and what we think we know” about the family “to explore their rise, reach and the cost that comes with being some of the most famous women on the planet.”
Among the high-profile talking heads is 1976 Olympic decathlon champion Caitlyn Jenner, who was married to Kris and whose children are Kendall and Kylie.
When can I watch?
House of Kardashian premieres on Sky Documentaries and NOW this Sunday.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
