Entertainment: Starting as a Succubus, Taking Hollywood by Storm

In this era where traffic rules all, fame meant "money," and massive fame meant "massive money."

Kris Jenner was sharp as a tack—she knew exactly what to do.

That's why she had her two daughters with second husband, former Olympic decathlon champ Bruce Jenner, both switch their surnames to "Kardashian" on the show.

Of course, in real life, they kept "Jenner."

Some might say, an Olympic gold medalist not good enough for a famous lawyer?

Spot on—they weren't.

Folks outside the U.S. couldn't grasp the uproar of the O.J. Simpson murder trial. It even overshadowed the Michael Jackson child molestation case.

The Dream Team lawyers shot to fame overnight, becoming household names across North America.

And Kris had another reason for ditching the Jenner name—

Her second hubby, Bruce, was a woman at heart. He'd always wanted gender reassignment surgery to become a "real" woman.

In the original timeline, 2014: Bruce and Kris split amicably. He'd already had his orchiectomy.

June 2015: Bruce announced the full transition, renaming himself Caitlyn Jenner.

When Bruce first hinted at wanting to become a "true woman," Kris fretted it could tank the five sisters' careers post-transition. So she locked in "Kardashian family" as their collective brand without a second thought.

Martin chatted idly with Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner while rummaging through his memories for Kendall intel.

Kendall was hands-down the prettiest of the five sisters—no contest. An oval face with a gentle smile, paired with those sparkling, soulful Carlsen eyes, made her soft yet captivating. High straight nose, plump pink lips—pure allure. Best of all, her figure was perfection: slim where it counted, curved just right, hips-to-waist ratio on point, no freakish exaggerations.

But Kendall was also the worst at managing her dough.

Fame-wise, she trailed only second sis Kim in the clan, so her money-making potential should've been killer.

Yet this girl's taste was pure "heartstrings"—picking endorsements that tanked harder each time. Nail polish brands, Tequila—especially that tequila, slammed for bad reviews and sketchy quality. It nuked her rep and image big-time.

Then her bestie Kylie dragged her along, launching a joint sister brand under Kylie's line—"Kendall + Kylie." Sold decently, at least.

Even with finances in the toilet, Kendall lived large—mansion, luxury rides, private jet. Top-tier in the family, which forced her to chase crappy gigs for scraps, feeding a vicious cycle.

But Martin knew Kendall's wastefulness and inability to steady her career stemmed from deep "anxiety."

And everyone knows "shopping" delivers a massive dopamine hit—easing those anxious vibes.

That "anxiety" also fueled her eventual rift with Kim.

Kendall's anxiety triggers were murky—maybe work, maybe family, or that Rome robbery scare

But at 16, this Kendall showed zero signs of anxiety.

The girl's face was pure, sweet innocence, yet her body had bloomed into mature temptation—an angel-devil mashup.

Chatting her up, Martin learned she'd just broken into modeling, riding the reality show's wave to a solid start.

This trip to L.A. with big sis Kim? Kendall was modeling the new collection's clothes and jewelry.

"Martin, Harry Potter's my absolute fave. Shame I left my gold collector's edition at home—otherwise, I'd beg for an autograph."

"I've got a few gold editions stashed at my place. Once we're in L.A., I'll hook you up with one."

"Seriously? That's amazing! Oh, and sign it, yeah?"

"You bet."

"Oh yeah!"

Martin watched the bubbly, energy-radiating girl, chuckling inwardly.

In his memories, there was no this Skinny Bean.

"Hey, Kendall—watch your vibe. And remember what I taught you? Out in public, if anyone asks, say your fave book's The Hunger Games. Harry Potter's for kids."

"Aw, got it." Kendall pouted.

Martin got it now—why future Kendall and Kim would clash. Big sis was a bit of a hardass!!!

Think about it: At 12, Kendall dives into Keeping Up with the Kardashians with half-sis Kim, kickstarting her entertainment career. Grows up amid family headlines and tabloid fodder.

Big sis Kourtney was the chillest in the clan, so wrangling Kendall fell to (the strict) second sis Kim. Key issue? Their worldviews clashed hard.

Kendall was frank, lively, anti-façade. Kim always pushed lessons on becoming a "proper" celeb. Boom—sibling friction.

Toss in early modeling: globe-trotting schedules, constant scrutiny, plus upkeep on looks and privacy shields...

Yeah, maybe that's one root of her anxiety.

On the flip side, Kendall hated airing her private life in the spotlight—that set her apart from her sisters.

To this day, whether on the show or media rounds, she dodged personal deep dives. Sometimes got snippy when pressed, earning her a "de" from some fans.
