The “Kardashian Curse” was coined when Scott Disick, a former boyfriend of Kourtney Kardashian, recruited a medium to help rid him of the bad luck which he says accompanies men who date a Kardashian.
According to Disick, the curse affects men who try to date any of the clan - with all of them eventually finding themselves single once again.
Now, in a new interview with GQ, Jenner admitted that the curse, which the sisters used to find offensive, may have some accuracy.
Having a lot to do with the incredible celebrity of the Kardashians, and the constant scrutiny that comes with such fame, 20-year-old Jenner revealed that men come “and can’t handle it.”
However, it is not just men who fall victim to the “curse” - friends do as well.
The fame is just one part of the problem, with the negative parts of being in the public eye making up the other.
“But it’s not just men - it’s friends. It’s people who come and just don’t know how to handle it. It’s the negative. There’s a lot of people who love us, but there’s also a huge handful of people who don’t like us,” Jenner explained.
As for 27-year-old rapper Scott, with whom Jenner had daughter Stormi earlier this year, he seems relatively unconcerned by the threat of a curse.
Although the pair has been dating for just over a year, after meeting at the music festival Coachella, Scott is confident in the relationship he’s built with Forbes self-made billionaire Jenner.
“Kylie actually likes me for me,” the rapper told the magazine.
The couple may not have been dating long, but they know the importance of love and family.
“He deals with it because we love each other and we have a family,” the youngest of the Kardashian family said.
