Kendall & Kylie Jenner dropped out of school because of paparazzi: what?

Kendall Kylie Jenner

These are photos of Kendall and Kylie Jenner at the preview of their fall clothing collection. This essentially means nothing to us, but there are a few other stories of interest out there about these girls. Last week’s issue of Star (via Radar Online) says that Kendall and Kylie, aged 17 and 16 respectively, are basically partying their asses off while the rest of the family is preoccupied with little North West: “All hell has broken loose at the summer rental house, Kendall and Kylie are completely out of control — they host ragers all week. Neighbors find teens passed out on the sand! The beach is littered with beer cans and empty wine cooler bottles, remnants of marijuana joints and spent fireworks.” Fireworks, really? Maybe it was just a really wild Independence Day-themed bash, but the obvious underage drinking is bothersome.

Meanwhile, the two young Jenners have sat down for an interview about their clothing line and how much they hate the paps. Even though it’s been less than a year since these two said they dropped out to focus on their careers, I guess the narrative has changed:

Kendall on the clothing line: “It’s kind of a California vibe collection, it’s very casual. … It’s kind of a version of our casual style. So, I mean, it’s fun shorts to crop tops to t-shirts. … It’s affordable, it’s super cute, super comfortable, casual. I think it’s perfect for back-to-school. … It’s colorful yet it has a lot of edginess to it. I think it’s for everybody, I think people will be able to find something they really like.”

Kendall on the paparazzi: “They’re the most reckless drivers! They run red lights — they’re ridiculous. I don’t understand why these people aren’t illegal. Ask me a question about paparazzi and I get so heated. And I feel so bad for young kids of celebrities. My nieces and nephews get yelled at, and I’m like, ‘You are yelling at a 2-year-old.”

Kendall on leaving school: “We were cheerleaders, so we miss that. I still go to football games sometimes, but we used to go all the time. … We would go to cheer at football games and there would be paparazzi on the other side of the fence taking pictures. It got to a point where it was just ridiculous. Thank God no one stalked us at school! They can stand outside of the property and take pictures in! It’s not hard. It never got to that point, thank God; I would have had a fit if it did. I hate paparazzi.”

Kylie on the show’s inevitable ending: “I can’t even fathom us not doing the show. When it ends it’s going to be so sad. It is going to end eventually, but that’s just all I know.”

I can see what Kendall is saying to a degree — paps should definitely leave young children alone, verbally and physically. At the same time, it’s hard to feel too much sympathy for a family that has made its living largely because of the paparazzi. It’s not like these are actors and actresses who can make a slightly valid argument about how it’s not their “job” to get get papped (even though many of them do call the paps). This is a family of reality stars who do nothing else but make money for showcasing their own lives. Sure, Kendall seems like she’s the least fame-hungry out of the entire Klan, but my sympathy can only go so far if nobody is being endangered.

    I thought they were being home schooled? So they…dropped out of home school? Whatever, I somehow doubt that they were planning to become astrophysics majors in any case.

  2. Nikki says:

    Kendall is really beautiful. Physically, anyway.

  3. Jackson says:

    Wait, I didn’t realize these two had quit school. LOL then at both of them, especially the one who whines about not wanting the spotlight. How I wish this entire idiot family had never been unleashed on the world.

    • Susie Q says:

      I think I remember Kris saying at the time that they were to be home schooled so they could concentrate on their modeling careers.

  4. Flora Kitty says:

    Boo hoo.

  5. kas says:

    Isn’t Kendall the one that Radar has busted multiple times texting while driving??

    But yeah, those damn paps, can I get an Amen??!!

    • swack says:

      AMEN!!! You are totally right – she has been busted several times texting while driving.

  6. Dawn says:

    Kris Jenner has brought her kids up to be liars and users. First they dropped out of school to be home school and to work on their professions and now it’s the paps fault! No girls…paps made your whole damn family (except your dad) famous. I don’t know who is more delusional the media who report on these two or their so called fans who keep them rolling in the dough or these kids who really do seem to think they are all that. Enjoy it while you can girls cause I am sure PMK has big plans for you to party in a different way soon. Bruce where are you? It’s time you stepped up and stopped this foolishness with these two girls and send their ass back to school for an education. Shame on this whole family.

    • mayamae says:

      Sometimes I think Bruce is even a bigger bad guy than his wife. He must have seen this coming a mile away and has done nothing to prevent it.

    Do they realize they only have one nephew? And that only one of their two nieces has been seen in the light of day by anybody besides family and hirelings? These kids need better writers, too many continuity problems with their stories.

    Actually, they dropped out of school because Mama Ten Percent was keeping them out of school so much for their “jobs” that when they were actually in school, they had trouble with tests and classes – they had missed so much work. Guess nobody told them about those things called books they could take home. Anyway, Mama’s brilliant solution was not to cut back on the jobs so they wouldn’t interfere with the kids’ school schedule (keeping jobs to summer and school holidays). Oh, no, that would be too sensible. Mama just pulled them out of school entirely so they could allegedly be homeschooled. The paps never had anything to do with it. I heard the original story from their very own mouths at the time, since they used it in a “Isn’t Mama Ten Percent just splendid?” promo for the show.

    • M.A.F. says:

      They have half-brothers and sisters from their father’s first marriage so they could have more nephews and nieces.

  8. EG says:

    Poor Kylie. She just isn’t very pretty, or smart.

    • Chloeee says:

      I am kinda expressing an unpopular opinion but I find Kylie prettier and much healthier looking than Kendall.

      • Hakura says:

        I got behind on my stories recently, & know it’s super late to comment on this one, but I agree regarding Kylie being pretty.

        She gets prettier everytime I see her, now that she’s evolving out of that ‘awkward stage’ that caused her appearance to look a bit…Plain.

  9. Shauna says:

    So at the ages of 16 & 17 they’ve dropped,out of school and have their own place?

    Nice parenting, Kris. Bang up job. 🙁

  10. Alexandria says:

    They both really irk the hell out of me. I fear they will be more annoying than the first wave of Kartrashian Kaiju to hit the US, and they’re just getting started ugh….

  11. Lark says:

    BS. They went to Sierra Canyon in Chatsworth. My mom has a friend who teaches there. The paps showed up once or twice at home games, and were quickly kicked off the campus. There are a couple of other celebrity’s kids who attend there, too.
    Aren’t the Kardashians based out of Calabasas? I always wondered why they schlepped their kids over to Chatsworth when there are two great private schools right there and another one in Woodland Hills…not that Chatsworth is that much further, but why drive an extra ten to fifteen minutes? I suppose the other schools may have had a strict no Kardashian policy.

  12. lucy2 says:

    Every since the tide began to turn against them, Pimp Mama Kris has been working the victim angle hard. Too bad for her no one believes it.
    Any problems these kids have goes right back to her, and the family’s disgusting need for attention and money.

  13. Kristen says:

    It is so obvious what this family has been trying to do ever since Kim got pregnant with trying to reinforce how bad the paparazzi is. You never heard complaints from them about the paparazzi on their show until this year and then that stupid video Kim and Kris posted of Kris allegedly chasing a paparazzi off of their private property and now this. They are trying to build up sympathy so that when they end the show (or Kim leaves) they can say it was because the paparazzi became too invasive and they needed to stop to protect themselves- not that Kanye doesn’t want to be associated and people will stop caring once those two are out of the picture.

  14. Sookie says:

    Kendall is too skinny. Kylie I think is just lost amongst this family of fame: ashamed they dropped out of school: they should at least get their GED’s. I think they are both prettier than the older girls though

  15. janie says:

    Does anyone’s kids go to school in LA? I don’t feel sorry for any of that bunch. They are as much into this as the rest! They can’t imagine not being on TV, really? Ridiculous, both of them!

    • Chloeee says:

      Um yes people go to school in LA. I did for one.

      • Alexandria says:

        @ Janie *raises hand* M too. I went to a great school in the LA school district and now I’m a student at California State University of Long Beach. What’s your point?

  16. Melymori says:

    What? weren’t the paparazzi allow to the school?…such famewhores.

  17. Jane says:

    The question is: Did any of the Kartrashians finish high school?

    • Dawn says:

      Of the Kardashians I believe two finished and that was Kourtney and Rob. Both Kim and Khloe dropped out of HS and did not bother to get a GED. It was said that one of Klhoe’s issues on whatever show she was on XFactor or whatever was she couldn’t read. End of story. Kourtney did finish college and Rob said he did but there is no proof that he received a diploma. God I wish I didn’t know this!

  18. tifzlan says:

    I’m not sure if i’m in the minority here, but i think Kylie is so much prettier than Kendall. Kendall has a very common look but Kylie is a real stunner. She is going to grow up to be even more beautiful than she already is, but i also hope that she won’t be as vapid and shallow as Kim is. I hope she stays away from the Kardashian machine and makes a name for herself without pimping out sex tapes and Playboy covers or fake relationships.

    • emmie_a says:

      I don’t agree. I think she’s borderline strange looking. And sorry to dash your hopes but Kylie is a total fame whore. She loves the paps and the fame and the entire Kardashian machine. Her mother is training her well.

      • tifzlan says:

        Haha, you’re not dashing my hopes at all! I am by no means a Kardashian fan, although i do like Kourtney. I don’t know much about the Jenner girls because i don’t watch KUWTK or any other Kardashian reality show spinoff and i usually skip gossip stories on the Jenner girls because i’m not interested. I just think Kylie is really pretty and she seems somewhat decent so i wanted her to be the most respectable of the bunch. You seem to know more than i do though, and although i’m slightly somewhat disappointed that she turned out to be just like her older sisters, i’m not surprised at all.

        And as for her looks, i’m not originally from the US but where i come from, plenty plenty plenty of girls look like Kendall Jenner (somewhat), maybe even prettier, so i’m used to her look. Kylie however, has a very different, striking look that is unusual (as you said yourself) and i find it to be really refreshing. She’s gorgeous to me!

    • Bridget says:

      She’s the one that’s ‘dating’ Jayden Smith, and is definitely the one that really WANTS the fame.

    • Chloeee says:

      Im with you, physically Kendall bores me.

  19. Nicolette says:

    Think they will go into shock when the day comes that their show is over and the world is done with this ridiculous family?

  20. emmie_a says:

    The clothes are perfect for back-to-school…

    How would they know?!

  21. murphy says:

    Interesting that the blurb about the Malibu parties isn’t all over the press…guessing its because Kris isn’t endorsing it.

    Its not illegal for your huband to cheat on you and its not illegal for some model to claim he’s your baby-daddy. But it is illegal for 17 year olds to drink and smoke weed in Malibu.

    WE CAN SEE YOUR STRINGS KRIS.

  22. Viv says:

    I saw some of their show and they were shown as embarassed by all the famewhoring and how they went to volunteer in soup kitchens. Saying material things meant nothing. Now, bam!, we see pap pics of lil Kylie with Kourtney, carrying identical $2200 Celine bags. Not so embarrassed anymore, huh?

  23. Jellyfish says:

    That’s sad. If kris and Bruce were good parents they should have kept them off that show until they were 18. That’s not fair to ruin their childhoods like that like by pimping them out. It’s awful.

  24. Kim says:

    They dropped out of school because their parents have taught them fame & money are more important than education. Many actual famous kids go to school/college and graduate. She even states they werent bothered at school because its private and the paps couldnt get past the gates. They have turned into pathetic losers like their mother and siblings.

  25. Leek says:

    This is a family of morons. They display their lives on a reality show where they air their grievances and justify their actions, then, a year or two later turn around and straight up lie about it. Stupid. These are just not intelligent people. I can’t believe none of them are in politics.

  26. gefeylich says:

    Please. They dropped out of high school to go on the ho stroll for Pimp Mama Kris. As if anyone believes anything else.
