Key points
- Kris Jenner was approached with an ad campaign offer from the adult incontinence brand Depend while on set with director Eva Longoria.
- Although Jenner was open to the endorsement depending on the financial terms, daughter Kim Kardashian blocked the opportunity.
- Jenner jokingly referred to Kim as a 'buzzkill' during a confessional on The Kardashians.
During an episode of Hulu's reality series The Kardashians, matriarch Kris Jenner recounted how an unexpected commercial proposal was halted by her daughter Kim Kardashian. While visiting the film set of the comedy movie The Fifth Wheel, Jenner received a real-time message offering her an ad campaign for the adult incontinence brand Depend.
Jenner, 70, shared the proposal directly with the film's director, Eva Longoria. Longoria reacted with laughter and suggested finding out the financial compensation for the campaign. Jenner responded enthusiastically to the commercial prospect, indicating that she would readily consider the deal if the financial payout were substantial enough.

The potential partnership did not go forward. In a confessional segment, Jenner disclosed that Kim rejected the idea entirely. Calling Kim a buzzkill for turning down the pitch, Jenner downplayed the stigma surrounding adult diapers by noting that bodily functions are universal.
The role reversal highlights how career decision-making operates within the family. Alongside advising her mother on select commercial matters, Kim is navigating the early demands of managing her own children. She previously discussed the challenges of overseeing the career of her eldest daughter, North West, balancing commitments, and setting boundaries around projects involving her children.
