Kendall Jenner’s Dinner With Gerry Turner
Kris Pulled Some Strings
Knowing that her daughter was obsessed withThe Golden Bachelor,Kris pulled some strings and got Gerry invited over for a dinner party. Kendall attended with a friend, and they even got to watch that night’s new episode ofThe Golden Bachelorwith thestar ofThe Golden Bachelor. When Gerry arrived for the dinner party, Kris joked that by the end of the night, they’d know who the winner was. Kris’s promise turned out to be true.
What Kendall Saw On Gerry’s Phone
Kendall Was In The Know
During dinner, they tried to video chatGerry’s daughters back in Indiana, so that they could meet Kris and Kendall. While they were trying to help facilitate the call, Kendall saw something onGerry’s phone that she probably shouldn’t have seen. “I know who wins, I think, I’m assuming, because I’ve seen some things that I shouldn’t have seen,” Kendall said. Apparently,Kendall saw his video chat call log, and saw that Gerry had called Theresamultiple times.
Kendall rightfully deduced that Theresa was the woman who wonThe Golden Bachelor’s final rose.
To Kendall’s credit, she never revealed what she knew while the season was airing, and didn’t talk about the incident until long after the final rose. It was information that Kendall didn’t want. “My heart dropped when I saw her name.”
Did Gerry Hit On Kris Jenner?
Kendall Thinks So
Unintentionally giving away the ending ofThe Golden Bachelorwasn’t the only thing Gerry did while at Kris and Kendall’s dinner party. According to Kendall,he also spent some time flirting with Kris throughout the night. During an outtake from a Juneepisode ofThe Kardashians, 28-year-old Kendall confirmed to producers that Gerry, 72, was flirting with her 68-year-old mother.
“Yes, he was commenting on her smile and her eyes and her energy,” Kendall told producers. “I’m like, I think we should leave, like, I don’t know!”
When producers asked Kris about it later, she didn’t confirm or deny the accusation.
She laughed it off and made a joke about how she already had a boyfriend. It’s possible that Gerry was just being nice and Kendall misread it as flirting. If he was flirting with Kris during this dinner,that would be problematic, because he was engaged to Theresaat the time.
