From cheating scandals galore to endless cultural appropriation, the Kardashian-Jenner clan has always found some way to shock or offend the masses.
And part of the drama of it all is that we sort of want it. We’ve been watching them for years and years, and somehow — despite their utter ridiculousness — we’ve found a way to casually forget.
Except, well, we haven’t. Since about 2007, the Kardashian clan has been making headlines in one way or another — usually by doing or saying something exceptionally tacky — and it’s not gotten better.
Whether it’s a short-lived marriage or a questionable parking choice on Kylie’s part, there’s no shortage of coverage when it comes to Jenner and Kardashian scandals.
The problem is this: Some of the attention isn’t exactly fair. Kim didn’t mean for her sex tape to be released, and yet people mercilessly shamed her for it. On the other hand, she has been accused of wearing blackface — without apology and without end, and so we have to wonder why this family loves themselves a juicy scandal.
So, let’s take a walk down the oh-so-scandalous memory lane, hoping beyond hope that these people figure out how to find some decency and accountability.

It was 2007 that put the Kardashian family firmly on the reality TV map. That year, Kim’s sex tape video with her former boyfriend Ray J was released by Vivid Entertainment (gross, by the way, people; this should be illegal) — leading her to fight against the release (but ultimately Kim settled in court for $5 million bucks).
After this happened, the Kardashian family was thrust into the limelight.

If you are the type of person who doesn’t like to needlessly part with cash, it’s probably best not to open a credit card designed by a reality TV family.
The Kardashians, apparently, didn’t believe this to be the case. In 2010, they launched a “Kard” that “clearly targeted young teenagers and the less educated” and was loaded with fees. After a bunch of criticism, it was pulled from the market. Whew.

While we aren’t in the business of shaming people for their not-so-smart decisions (hey, doesn’t everyone make mistakes from time to time?) Kim’s super quick marriage to NBA player Kris Humphries made headlines.
People thought it was a publicity stunt — and to be fair, we’re not entirely convinced otherwise.

Back in 2014, the family decided to throw a party for North. It was called kidchella (cute enough, whatever), a Coachella-themed birthday party because apparently very small children need to celebrate their birthdays in the style of a wildly expensive (and often drug-fueled) music festival.
In a picture, Khloé was spotted wearing the headdress that sent shockwaves through Native American communities. And rightfully so. (Oh, and there was also the time she wore a Niqab).

We all know that the Kardashians think they’re above ethics or accountability, and that was certainly the case when Kylie, with flagrant insensitivity, posed in a wheelchair on a December 2015 cover of Interview Magazine.
It must run in the family — because Khloé also poked fun at mental illness when she called herself ‘Khlo-CD,” which rhymes with OCD.

Kylie’s cosmetics company landed her the title of ‘self-made billionaire’ — which many people have contested, with ire, let’s just say. From her sold-out lip kits (more on that below) to her sets (which have all-too-appropriate names like “Money Mindset”), Kylie’s made bank.
Apparently not. She stole the look of a post from indie makeup artist Vlada Haggerty — and a nasty lawsuit ensued.

We’re not sure if we’re living in some sort of horrible alternate universe or something, but there was a time when the two sisters decided it would be okayto use Biggie and Tupac’s images on clothing without permission. And profit off them.
Voletta Wallace, Biggie’s mother, wrote in an Instagram post:
“I am not sure who told @kyliejenner and @kendalljenner that they had the right to do this. The disrespect of these girls not to even reach out to me or anyone connected to the estate baffles me. I have no idea why they feel they can exploit the deaths of 2pac and my son Christopher to sell a T-shirt. This is disrespectful, disgusting, and exploitation at its worst!!!”
The line was PROMPTLY pulled.

While these days Caitlyn has shunned President Trump for his lackluster policies and record regarding transgender issues, there was a day when Caitlyn was all about Donald Trump and the Republican party.
She has since said, “The reality is that the trans community is being relentlessly attacked by this president…the leader of our nation has shown no regard for an already marginalized and struggling community. He has ignored our humanity. He has insulted our dignity.”

When Rob’s relationship with Black Chyna — tumultuous at BEST — was on the rocks, he shared super inappropriate images of her on Instagram in some sort of gross revenge scheme.
And they have a child together — which makes all of this even ickier.
