Kourtney Kardashian slams 'controlling' Caitlyn Jenner in furious rant

Reality TV icon Kourtney Kardashian has hit out at Caitlyn Jenner's parenting skills in a brutal swipe while appearing on sister Khloe's podcast
Kourtney Kardashian has slammed Caitlyn Jenner as she reflected on her upbringing, describing the star's approach to parenting as 'controlling' and 'bossy.' The Kardashians star, 46, made the remarks during an appearance on her sister Khloe Kardashian 's podcast, Khloe In Wonder Land.
As the eldest daughter of Kris Jenner and the late Robert Kardashian, Kourtney opened up about her dynamic with Caitlyn, who married Kris, 69, in 1991 and remained in the family until their 2015 divorce.
‌
The conversation turned to parenting styles when Khloe praised Kourtney for taking a more relaxed role in co-parenting with her husband Travis Barker. '[Caitlyn] never tried to be dad,' Khloe said, referencing their late father Robert. 'And I always appreciated and respected that.'
‌
However, Kourtney offered a different take. 'Okay, so, that wasn't my experience,' she responded. 'But maybe that's why it became your experience. So [I'm] grateful for that for you.'
She went on to recall tense moments from her youth. 'I would be like, 'I wanna call my Dad,' and [Caitlyn] would hang up the phone. We would have yelling wars.' Kourtney said Jenner even imposed strict rules on her social life: 'Certain friends can't come over.'
Kourtney explained that these confrontations eventually led her to move in with her father Robert before his death from esophageal cancer in 2003. Khloe admitted she once assumed the friction came from Kourtney feeling that Caitlyn was 'replacing dad,' though she added: 'Not that he did, no one could replace dad.'
During their marriage, Caitlyn and Kris welcomed daughters Kendall and Kylie, and Caitlyn also became step-parent to Kourtney, Khloe, Kim, and Rob. From previous relationships, Caitlyn has four more children - Brody, Burt, Brandon, and Cassandra.
‌
Years after her 2015 transition, Caitlyn opened up in an interview with Diane Sawyer on 20/20 about the state of her relationships with her children. 'Some [of my children] I have remained very close to. A couple of them… I'm a little more distant,' she said.
'I have to admit, I'll sit here and wonder, 'Is it because of my transitioning? Or is it because their life is so busy that they don't call, like, all the time? Nobody calls that much. I mostly reach out to them. Obviously, the Jenner side calls more, but they all have their own lives.'
This year, Brody Jenner offered his own perspective during an episode of Special Forces: World's Toughest Test, reflecting on Caitlyn's absence during his childhood.
‌
'I had an incredible mother. Father, Bruce, at the time, wasn't around that much,' he shared, according to E! News.
However, Brody revealed that their relationship has seen some healing: 'Just recently, I got a real, sincere apology. It was the first time in my life that I've ever gotten an apology. You know, I'm sorry for not being there, and honestly, it meant a lot.'

Olivia Attwood hits out at Kardashians after Kylie Jenner's surgery admission

Former Love Islander Olivia Attwood fronts a new series that delves into the world of aesthetic enhancements, but believes honesty is the best policy when it comes to celebrities and their cosmetic procedures Former Love Island star Olivia Attwood has hit out at the Kardashians for being selective with their honesty about cosmetic surgery, as she slammed celebrities for being "disingenuous". The 34-year-old hosts ITV documentary series The Price of Perfection, in which she discusses the issues around cosmetic surgery and aesthetic enhancements. Olivia herself paid £3,000 for a boob job at the age of 20, but later paid around £10,000 to have them removed and smaller ones implanted. Her comments about the Kardashians come after Kylie Jenner, 27, finally gave details to a follower on TikTok that she had a breast enhancement when she was 19. ‌ The star was questioned about her cleavage, to which she replied with the size, profile and even the name of her surgeon. It came after her mum, Kris Jenner, admitted she'd had a facelift. ‌ But Olivia said Kylie's confession was "too little, too late." She believes Kylie should be honest about the rest of her cosmetic procedures. She added that Kylie and her sisters' bodies "are not created in the gym." Olivia told the Sun: "Kylie came out and said about her boobs, and I was like: 'I've been talking about my breasts for the past 10 years.' I like the Kardashians, this is not me bashing them, but it's too little, too late for me." She went on to say how she feels the Kardashians should be transparent about all their procedures, because it's 'disingenuous' to pretend their looks aren't down to surgery. She continued: "We know Kylie's breasts are fake. "We knew she had lip fillers when she was selling those lip kits. What about talking about lipo and BBLs?," before saying she believes the Kardashians have had more work done. But although she has had breast augmentation more than once, Olivia revealed that a BBL is the one procedure she would steer clear of. Joking that she has a 'pancake bum', the presenter said: "BBL is the only one I wouldn't do, because the risk is too much. It's one of the surgeries that has the highest revision rate." ‌ A BBL, or Brazilian Butt Lift, is a procedure undertaken to change the size of their buttocks. Fat is removed to from other parts of the patient's body, including the belly, hops and back, then injected back into the buttocks. It's one of the surgeries Olivia covers in an episode in the first series of The Price of Perfection. She said of the second season: 'We touched on brand new subjects. There's just so many different avenues that you can cover, and each one is an education in itself.' During the BBL episode, she wants to film a 360 liposuction and BBL procedure, which is performed on a woman named Scarlett. But Olivia feared the worst during the scenes in Turkey, when the crew were told they weren't allowed to record the full treatment after all. ‌ Speaking about the decision, Olivia said: "They did change their mind at the absolute final hour, so we just told that story and it's in its truthfulness." She added: "It was awful. A lot goes into planning these shoots for my team and I. But I was thinking, 'this is a massive red flag. Why have they suddenly changed their mind?'" Series one and two of The Price of Perfection are available now to watch on ITVX.

NHS worker reveals the most bizarre thing she's ever seen in A&E

A hospital worker has revealed the 'craziest' case she ever witnessed while working in A&E. British-Sudanese comic Ola Labib, who previously worked as a pharmacist in the NHS for seven years, said the emergency room can be 'absolute chaos'. Speaking with Russell Kane on his podcast Evil Genius, Labib shared numerous 'bizarre' and 'crazy' stories from her time in the healthcare service. She said that the chaotic nature of A&E tends to ramp up around Christmas time - and this is when workers are most likely to see cases that are out of the ordinary. She also told an eye-watering anecdote about a man who had a terrible incident with a glass bottle - then lied to his parents about having cancer to cover his tracks. The pharmacist said the man had a glass beer bottle 'shatter' in his rectum when he inserted it for self-pleasure. 'The first one that comes to mind is the patient who stuck a beer bottle up his bum,' she answered when asked about the wildest things she's seen on the job. She then revealed the man hadn't come in because of the bottle itself but because it had smashed while still inside, much to the shock of the podcast host and fellow guests. 'He pleasured himself and he underestimated the power of his rectum so when he finished the beer bottle shattered,' Labib explained. 'It was really bad because when his parents came in, he didn't want them to know that that's what he did so we couldn't get involved but he told his parents that he had cancer.' Another 'crazy' case was when she saw a woman coming into A&E to get her hair extensions removed because she couldn't get an appointment at her hairdresser during the busy festive period. Labib said the woman lied about the extensions causing her pain and was shocked to see medical professionals have their time taken up by removing her weave. 'The craziest thing I saw was a woman who couldn't get an appointment to get her hair extensions taken out so she came into A&E pretending that her hair extensions were causing her real pain,' she recalled. She said the consultant suggested shaving the patient's head but staff were unable to do so for 'ethical reasons'. 'You literally had health care assistants and nurses taking out this woman's weave because she couldn't get an appointment,' Labib said. 'You see really, really crazy stuff in A& a good thing I'm not in charge, put it that way.' Medical workers are exposed to an endless source of shocking, hilarious, haunting, or bizarre stories in their line of work and many have chosen to share their experiences. Palliative care nurse Julie McFadden - who's known as Hospice Nurse Julie across social media - previously revealed the three most common regrets patients share on their death beds. Speaking to NHS surgeon Dr Karan Rajan on his podcast, she said these final discussions tend to centre around what they've taken for granted. Most common, she said, is regretting not appreciating the years they spent in good health. 'The first one I hear all the time is that they regret not appreciating their health while they had it,' McFadden, who has more than 15 years' experience of caring for the dying and is from Los Angeles. 'That's the number one thing people say to me, I wish I would have understood how amazing it is to have a working body,' she added. The second regret she often hears is people admitting they 'worked too much' and wish they hadn't worked their life away. Finally, she revealed in the clip shared to Instagram, that many dying patients have regrets about relationships. The nurse explained people either wish they had maintained certain relationships and friendships, or regret holding grudges. Many patients also reveal they 'cared too much' about what other people thought. Rajan responded to McFadden's insight with a story of a young patient that made him realise we are not 'immortal' and we should not take our life 'for granted'. In the clip shared with his 1.5million followers he said: 'A few years ago when I saw a young woman come in with pancreatitis in her 20s, within three hours this young woman is in the intensive care unit, she's intubated, ventilated, and the next day, she had passed away. 'That just made me think wow, I'm in my 30s now, I'm 34, life can just go in a flash. 'So yes, truly don't take it for granted, we sometimes have this tendency to walk around like we're immortal.'

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's relationship timeline as couple 'on the rocks'

A new source has claimed the couple are "on the rocks" after Katy Perry allegedly pulls out of attending Jeff Bezos' wedding with Orlando Bloom next week amid break up talks Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have shared plenty of ups and downs, but their relationship has seemingly blossomed over the years. However, a source recently claimed the couple are "on the rocks" with break-up talks in full swing. The couple, who welcomed daughter Daisy Dove in 2020, were due to attend Jeff Bezos' wedding in Venice next week. But sources have since claimed the actor will attend alone, with Katy, 40, recently spotted without her ruby engagement ring. ‌ The couple, who got engaged in 2019, are yet to tie the knot after initially cancelling wedding plans in December 2019. Here, we take a look at the full timeline of their on-off relationship. ‌ January 2016: Sparks fly at a Golden Globes afterparty Their love story began at a party following the 2016 Golden Globes. According to Us Weekly, the pair were seen getting close, with a source revealing they were "extremely flirty and whispering to each other." Photos showed the pair laughing, smiling, and clearly enjoying each other's company. "He would lean in to whisper into her ear and touch the small of her back as they chatted," the source said. They reportedly left the event together. May 2016: Making it Instagram official A few months later, Katy confirmed the romance with a playful Instagram post of the couple in matching robes on the steps of a building in Cannes, France. February 2017: Breakup After nearly a year of dating, the couple parted ways. Their representatives issued a joint statement saying, "Before rumours or falsifications get out of hand we can confirm that Orlando and Katy are taking respectful, loving space at this time." ‌ Sources claimed it was Katy who initiated the breakup but insisted it was amicable. "Katy pulled the plug... they both still love each other very much," a source told E! News , adding that their bond was still strong, particularly for the sake of Orlando's son, Flynn. "Katy has built a really strong connection with Flynn," the insider said. March 2017: Shutting down drama Katy quickly shut down any suggestion of drama post-split, tweeting, "HOW BOUT A NEW WAY OF THINKING FOR 2017!? U can still b friends & love ur former partners! No one's a victim or a villain, get a life y'all!" ‌ April 2017: Orlando confirms they are still friends In an interview, Orlando echoed the sentiment, saying, "We're friends, it's good... It's better to set an example for kids and show that [breakups] don't have to be about hate." August 2017: Spotted together again Rumours of a rekindled romance surfaced when fans saw the pair attending an Adele concert together. ‌ May 2018: Katy reveals she's off the market again During the American Idol season finale, Katy told Bachelorette star Becca Kufrin, "I'm not single but I still like you," confirming her rekindled relationship with Orlando. September 2018: Red carpet debut The couple made things official in public by appearing together on the red carpet at the Gala for the Global Ocean in Monaco. February 2019: The proposal ‌ The actor proposed the day after Valentine's Day with a show-stopping 4.5-carat ruby and diamond ring reportedly worth $5million. Katy announced their engagement with an Instagram post showing off the stunning ring. "Orlando had planned this for a while," a source told People, adding that he asked for Katy's parents' blessing before proposing. "Katy was very surprised and shaking with happiness... They both want kids together and will prioritise this." Speaking on Capital Breakfast with Roman Kemp, Katy recalled, "I get there and, I mean, he's like clean-shaven. He's not wearing tennis shoes. I'm like, 'Ah s***, something is going down!'" ‌ She described how after dinner, he whisked her away on a helicopter, proposed mid-air, and landed at a party filled with her friends, family, and "the most flowers you've ever seen". March 2019: Moving in together By March, the couple had taken another big step - moving in together. A source revealed that Orlando was selling his home to live with Katy. The arrangement was drama-free, with Orlando's ex-wife Miranda Kerr reportedly supportive: "Miranda doesn't have an issue with Flynn being at Katy's house when Orlando has custody. Everyone is getting along great." At the time, wedding planning was underway but still without a firm date. "They are trying to find a middle ground," a source explained. "Orlando always shied away from anything flashy. He doesn't want a huge, celebrity wedding... Katy will work with a planner." ‌ December 2019: Wedding postponed US Weekly had claimed the couple were planning a December wedding, but a source told the outlet they had postponed it. "They changed the timing due to the location they want," they said at the time. E! also spoke to a source about why Perry and Bloom are postponing their wedding to 2020. "They wanted to get married quickly but scheduling and pulling everything together has proven to be difficult," the source said. "The wedding was supposed to be in September, then December and now early next year. They have had to move things around because Katy has grand ideas of where and how she wants things to be." ‌ March 2020: They announce pregnancy In addition to cradling her pregnant stomach in her music video for "Never Worn White", Katy wrote on Instagram "Let's just say it's gonna be a jam packed summer..." She also said she was "excited" and "happy" on her Instagram story, writing: "It's probably the longest secret I've ever had to keep. I thought I would tell you guys in the best way through a piece of music." August 2020: Couple welcome first baby together ‌ On August 27, UNICEF announced the birth of Daisy Dove Bloom on Instagram. Both Katy and Orlando are Goodwill Ambassadors for the charitable organisation. "We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter," said the couple in a statement. February 2022: Katy reveals wedding plans are still in full swing In an interview, Katy claimed the delay was down to the pandemic. "It's a destination location that like, you know, we're still trying for it to work out, but every couple of months it's like, 'New variant! New variant! New variant!'" she said. ‌ February 2023: Orlando calls relationship 'challenging' Speaking to Flaunt magazine, Orlando explained how being in different creative industries has affected his relationship with Perry. "We're in two very different pools," he said. "Her pool is not a pool that I necessarily understand, and I think my pool is not a pool that she necessarily understands. Sometimes things are really, really, really, challenging. I won't lie. We definitely battle with our emotions and creativity." September 2024: Katy reveals reason for first break up During her Call Her Daddy interview, Katy spoke about why the couple took a break in 2017. "We weren't really in it from day one," she said. ‌ "He was because he had just done a huge time of celibacy, and he had set intentions. I was fresh out of a relationship, and I was like, I can't do this anymore. I need to swim in a different pond, but I had to do a lot real work." She also revealed the couple had undergone couples therapy, explaining they "want to evolve" for their daughter's sake. June 2025: Break up rumours After Katy was seen without her engagement ring, break up rumours flew. A friend of the pair has told MailOnline: "Unfortunately they are on the rocks... I'm afraid it does not look promising." An insider told the New York Post: "It's over. They're just waiting until the tour is done before they split." It's now thought Orlando will attend Jeff Bezos' wedding next week alone, despite Katy also being invited.
