Caitlyn Jenner’s mother has described the new Hulu show The Kardashians as ‘the most senseless thing’ she has ever seen.
The 72-year-old reality star’s mum Esther Jenner, 96, admitted her famous family is ‘her blood’ but insisted she and Caitlyn – who doesn’t feature on the new show, which launched earlier this year – have not talked about the series.
‘I think that Kardashian show is the most senseless thing I have ever watched,’ she told The Sun.

The show stars Kris Jenner and her daughters Kim, Kourtney and Khloe with the late Robert Kardashian as well as the two kids she had with Jenner: Kendall and Kylie.
‘But my two granddaughters, Kendall and Kylie, created it, and I love them dearly. They’re my blood.
‘And my four step-grandchildren — Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Robert — feel like they’re mine, too.’
Caitlyn and Kris split in 2013 after 22 years of marriage. Their divorce was finalized in 2014. The following year, Caitlyn publicly came out as transgender.
Esther also appeared to shrug off the idea her daughter is upset after being excluded from the show.

She said: ‘I don’t know if [Caitlyn] even cares. It’s something we haven’t even discussed.’
Instead, Esther thinks her daughter is more focused on her political ambitions after she recently ran in a special recall election to unseat California Governor Gavin Newsom.
Voicing her concerns, Esther said: ‘I think [she] would be putting [herself] in a dangerous position [if she runs for office again], so I’m not too sure.

However, Caitlyn has responded to her mother’s comments and insisted she has ‘no fear for her safety’ and she was hurt by her Esther’s comments about her family.
In a statement, a representative for Caitlyn told Page Six: ‘Caitlyn’s 96-year-old mother is senile.

She lives alone in a home. Caitlyn has 24/7 armed security at all times and has no fear for her safety.
‘All comments related to the Kardashian and Jenner children are that woman’s own opinion and were hurtful for Caitlyn to read about in the press.’
Esther appeared on Caitlyn’s show I Am Cait which aired from 2015 until 2016.
