In January, Jenner settled with Howe’s two adult stepchildren, William Howe and Dana Redmond. The sum was not disclosed. As far as Kris asking Bruce to suppress his urges to became a woman, an NCAA coach who had worked with Jenner said Kris – now 60 – did indeed want Bruce to stay a man. ‘She told him he should pray,’ the source said, ‘that church could help heal him.’ It was added that Kris was trying to do ‘conversion therapy’ with Bruce. They attended bible studies led by conservative singer Pat Boone. He was ‘a fierce critic of any number of liberal causes, from the pro-choice to the gay rights movements,’ Ian added. Kris also went to the Calvary Community Church in Westlake, California, a church ‘long associated with homophobic positions.’ A member of their executive team was fired in 2012 for coming out as gay, it was noted.

But he still had his urges: Bruce could not hide the fact that he wanted to be a woman, even though he attended services with conservative Pat Boone

Brad Johnson, the church pastor, had gotten close to Bruce and Kris as they liked him ‘hip, irreverent style.’ Johnson had been trained by Rick Warren, author of the mega-best-seller The Purpose Driven Life.
Warren was also a top proponent of California’s anti-gay-marriage law Proposition 8.
But Johnson faced scandal in 2007 when he was accused of cheating on his wife. He tried three times to kill himself and ended up an employee at Starbucks. Kris has said God told her to find Johnson and help him. When she did find him, she helped him start Life Change Community Church.

It was ‘dedicated to giving people second chances,’ Ian noted.
A church was also started in Agoura Hills, California, and the Kardashian became a part of it. ‘Although Kris was undeniably sincere about her religious beliefs, the church became a convenient prop whenever she or the family needed to burnish their image. After her divorce from Kris Humphries and the subsequent backlash, Kim started tweeting regularly about her church attendance,’ wrote Halperin.
And the author added Kim’s romance with Kanye West was created by Kris.
Kim also donated money to the church with her ebay sales: ‘The clothes I got will be up on eBay next month for a charity auction! Going to Life Change Community Church!; she wrote on her site.

The book also alleges Kris was instrumental in the 2007 release of Kim’s sex tape with Ray J. At the time Ray J said: ‘I shot the tape and she kept the tape, so she said the tape got lost I guess when she was moving.’
Kim threatened to sue, Vivid Entertainment – the company that released the tape – said they were operating in the law, and they settled.
‘The so-called lawsuit and press release about Kim’s dismay appeared to be nothing more than an attempt to portray herself as a victim of an unscrupulous thief or Ray J himself,’ Halperin wrote.
‘Whether she planned it from the beginning is still an open question.’
Ian also notes big holes in the KUWTK show, such as Khloe’s meltdown over her DUI. The writer points out that she got her DUI even before the show was greenlit. But the show ran a disclaimer: ‘This episode features recreations of actual events.’
