Why is 'KUWTK' ending? Some theories...

Addison Rae, the throne is yours.

Here’s a fun fact about me: I don’t watch any reality TV—not The Bachelor, not Real Housewives, not even Selling Sunset, which I hear is insanely addicting. The only exception? Keeping up with the Kardashians.

Yes, I am unabashedly obsessed with all things Kardashian/Jenner/Disick/West/Webster/Thompson/Gamble (#Calmye), and I am only slightly ashamed to admit it. I have seen *every* episode of this show and know an ungodly amount of info about these surgically enhanced humans. So you can imagine that I was crushed to learn that KUWTK is ending after 4985954 years, and that I have several theories as to why.

To our amazing fans -

It is with heavy hearts that we’ve made the difficult decision as a family to say goodbye to Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

After what will be 14 years, 20 seasons, hundreds of episodes and numerous spin-off shows, we are beyond grateful to all of you who’ve watched us for all of these years – through the good times, the bad times, the happiness, the tears, and the many relationships and children. We’ll forever cherish the wonderful memories and countless people we’ve met along the way.

Thank you to the thousands of individuals and businesses that have been a part of this experience and, most importantly, a very special thank you to Ryan Seacrest for believing in us, E! for being our partner, and our production team at Bunim/Murray, who’ve spent countless hours documenting our lives.

Our last season will air early next year in 2021.

Without Keeping Up with The Kardashians, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I am so incredibly grateful to everyone who has watched and supported me and my family these past 14 incredible years. This show made us who we are and I will be forever in debt to everyone who played a role in shaping our careers and changing our lives forever.

With Love and Gratitude,

Kim

Theory #1: Kourt is out. Like, not gonna-still-make-a-cameo-every-episode out, but truly, completely, breaking-Kris-Jenner’s-heart-out. She wants to chill in Wyoming with the kids and Scott and Harry Hudson, and “work” on Poosh every now and then. Without Kourt, KUWTK loses a lot.

Theory #2: Kim doesn’t want to film Kanye drama. Kim loves a camera, but she’s still a human being whose husband (and father to her four kids) is mentally ill, incapable of not tweeting for five seconds, and apparently still running for president?! She has a lot of shit on her place, and she prob genuinely doesn’t want to share all that with the world while things with Kanye are so unstable.

Theory #3: Khloe knows she’ll get hate for being back with Tristan. They’re def back on, and Khloe seems really happy! But she knows that people will judge if they see her back with him, and so she prob wants to keep that part of her life private, at least for now.

Theory #4: Addison Rae is ready for the spotlight. It’s obvious that E! has been priming TikTok star Addison Rae for months now to have her own reality show, likely based around her family, just like KUWTK. I give it two weeks before they announce it.

Theory #5: Kris wants to retire. Which, by Kris Jenner standards, does not mean doing nothing—far from it. She still has a stake in all her kids’ brands and has plenty of side hustles of her own, so she’ll surely be keeping busy still and making that $$. But the woman is 64! She doesn’t need to wake up at 4 AM every day for hair and makeup and arguments with Ryan Seacrest over filming angles. Let her live!

So yeah, who actually knows, but those are my theories. Tell me yours!
