Kris Jenner ‘Blew Up’ After Learning Rob Kardashian Set Up a ‘Studio Meeting’ for New Docuseries

After years of keeping a low profile, Rob Kardashian may be ready for his close-up on his own terms — however, momager Kris Jenner reportedly has other plans.

A source close to the youngest Kardashian told the Daily Mail on Monday, November 9, that Rob, 39, has “expressed an interest” in making a docuseries about the last decade of his life. According to the insider, he reached out “through a friend of a friend” and lined up “a chat and a studio meeting.”

Per the outlet, he then shared the news with Kris, 71, but her reaction was explosive. “Kris blew up when she heard about it,” the source claimed. The insider claimed the famous matriarch has spent years trying to coax her son back into the spotlight and doesn’t approve of him going off on his own after all her efforts.

“Kris has lined up many career relaunch plans for him,” the insider explained. “Getting him to do a few appearances on the shows to bank cash and start getting back out there, and setting up chats with business advisers to relaunch some of his brands.”

Rob stepped away from regular appearances on Keeping Up with the Kardashians in 2016, the same year he starred in the spin-off Rob & Chyna with then-fiancée Blac Chyna, whose legal name is Angela Renée White. Chyna, 38, and Rob share 9-year-old daughter Dream Kardashian. He has popped up on screen occasionally since then, and returned for a 2025 appearance on The Kardashians.

As Star previously reported, Rob has been candid about his discomfort with the cameras. “I’m not comfortable in my skin, so why would I want to go be on camera and just be vulnerable and let people in when that’s not what I want to do?” he told sister Khloé Kardashian, 42, on her podcast, Khloé in Wonder Land, in July 2025.

Still, he left the door open to a comeback under the right circumstances. “I love filming if it’s positive and natural and I’m feeling good about myself, of course,” he said to Khloé.
