Kris Jenner offered $400K to Kim Kardashian West to walk in a fashion show in the Season 8 premiere of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" because Kylie Jenner backed out from her responsibility. Kylie was supposed to be participating in the fashion show; however, she got sick. Hence, Kris Jenner had to find a substitute for Kylie.
Kris Jenner Asks the Help of Kim Kardashian West
Kylie shared a message on her Twitter account saying she was supposedly going to Paris for the Balmain show at the Paris Fashion Week for the launch of her makeup collaboration with Olivier Rousteing; however, she got sick and unable to travel.
After Kylie told the media about her missing the show, Jenner called Kim Kardashian West to try and convince her to fly to Paris.
Kardashian West said that her mom called her on the phone, crying and telling her to come to Paris to close the show. She said she understands why her mom is in a panic because Kylie's sickness became worse. However, even so, Kardashian West argued against going because it might cause a conflict of interest as she has KKW Beauty, her makeup brand.
However, Jenner did not lose hope and got creative to make her daughter say yes. The momager offered $300,000 in cash and a jet flight that very same night. Kardashian West felt it was weird, but she turned down the offer.
Jenner, however, upped the offer by another $100,000 to persuade the mother of four. Even though Kardashian West felt bad, she still did not accept the offer.
Jenner was Rushing to Find a Replacement for Kylie
Kris Jenner is exceptionally hard-working, and she just proved this by trying to find a replacement for Kylie to close the fashion show. The owner of Kylie Cosmetics announced during the Season 18 premiere of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" that she would be walking in the ready-to-wear show in Balmain's Paris Fashion Week, where the unveiling of Kylie x Balmain Collection will happen.
Kylie said that she could not wait to walk the runway because she will serve as the Artistic Director of Makeup, but also because she will close the show; thus, she was excited.
Unfortunately, as she was about to fly out to Paris, she got a really bad strep throat. The Kardashian matriarch said during a confessional that all were set for Kylie Cosmetics collaboration; however, Kylie called her just when they were going to the airport. She said she was not feeling well.
The matriarch immediately called their family doctor to go to the house and make sure that Kylie takes medication so she can go on with their flight, hoping everything will work out fine. However, since the incident was so sudden, the matriarch immediately for a replacement.
As Jenner was nervous about Olivier because Kylie is not around, she tried to solve the problem by first calling Kendall Jenner to ask her to do it on Kylie's stead. To her dismay, Kendall couldn't make it because of work. Jenner did not give up and offered a Balmain bag to Kendall, but to no avail.
Without Kardashian West nor Kendall nor Kylie participating, the show was still successful. Kylie eventually got over her strep throat and staph infection.
