Reports have stated that well-known momager Kris Jenner was doing everything she could to revive the dying ratings for the family’s Hulu show, The Kardashians, like focusing on her daughters’ love lives, especially Khloé Kardashian’s conflict with cheating ex-beau Tristan Thompson.

A source previously told outlets that Kris was desperate to increase the show’s ratings, to where she began bribing Khloé’s habitual cheating ex Thompson with “money and perks.” 

“She’s sugarcoating the deal with promises of money and perks,” the person said. “It’s the same tactic she took with Scott Disick and Kanye West even after they betrayed her daughters over and over.”

The source also said that the momager was “willing to turn the other cheek when it comes to Tristan’s repeated infidelities as long as he can bring in viewers.”

However, another source told Radar Online that the statement was false and that Kris wasn’t bribing Thompson to get him on the show and boost ratings. 

While it’s a bunch of “he says, she says,” the Kardashian family has been a bit nicer to Thompson despite the cheating scandal and getting another woman pregnant. 

On March 13, Kris wished Thompson a “Happy Birthday” on her Instagram Story, adding a photo of the two.

“Happy Birthday, Tristan! I know this year has been hard so far, but you seem to find the positive and the light amongst the sadness,” the post read.

Sis2Sis previously reported that Khloé dedicated an Instagram post to her children’s father on his birthday, posting photos of him with the kids. 

“Happy birthday @realtristan13

You are truly the best father, brother & uncle,” she wrote. “Your love, attention, silly dances, hugs, carpool rides, bedtime rituals, the way you show up for them. All of the above means more than you’ll ever know to your family of littles. My birthday wish for you is that you continue to crave change, healing, and transformation. Be strong, be kind, be patient, be free. Continue to Make your soul and your mommy proud. Happy birthday, baby daddy.”
