Caitlyn Jenner is no stranger to controversy as a member of the Kardashian clan.
Having been a part of the huge machine that makes up the Kardashian family, Caitlyn has had her fair share of ups and downs. Her defining moment came in April 2015, when she revealed that she was a transgender woman.
However, despite the reality family's determination to show off the "real" them, Caitlyn has had a number of off-screen feuds with her family members that have left fans of the family drooling for drama. So much so, that Caitlyn's relationship with the family is currently at an all-time low.

So, as she celebrates her 75th birthday on Monday (October 28), Daily Star looks back at the family feuds Caitlyn Jenner has been embroiled in.
Exposing secrets
Caitlyn first revealed her transgender identity in an interview with Vanity Fair in April of 2015, with the iconic front cover: "Call me Caitlyn." However, this was the first time that Kris Jenner, her former wife - as well as her children - had learned about her gender identity revelation.
The interview also had the first of many scathing remarks about her marriage to Kris, whom she divorced in February of that year. In the interview, she explained the reason for the couple's split was "20% gender and 80% the way I was treated", adding that Kris was the one in control of everything, including finances.
"A lot of times she wasn’t very nice," Caitlyn explained. "People would see how I got mistreated; she controlled the money … all that kind of stuff."
No trust left
In a tell-all interview with controversial broadcaster Piers Morgan on his Life Stories series, Caitlyn admitted that she did not trust the Kardashians to leak information about her transgender journey. In her conversation with the journalist, she explained that the family each received a copy of her autobiography without the last few pages.
When asked about why she chose to leave out the last pages, where Caitlyn spoke about her "gender confirmation surgery", the former Olympian said she could not trust them enough to give information to the media. She added: "And there was no reason for them to know about it."
She added that she "didn't tell anybody" about her journey to transitioning, and blasted accusations of a fame grab, saying: "It's none of their business, it's not a big deal."
Bashing the step kids
Ahead of a new series chronicling the life of the Kardashians, Caitlyn slammed the family once again, this time taking aim at Kim Kardashian herself. In a trailer for the docuseries "House of Kardashian", which aired Sky in 2023, Caitlyn branded the socialite and influencer as "calculated" who was trying for ages to become famous.
Unlike the usual reality series Keeping Up with the Kardashians, the documentary series gave no editorial control to the family, which allowed for bombshells, such as Caitlyn's remarks. In a statement, Caitlyn said she was happy to to take part in the show to "share my side which points to the strength, influence, and prowess my family has in captivating the world’s attention and keeping it over the years."
This was not the only time that she hit out at her stepchildren, as she revealed in an interview on This Morning that she is a lot closer to Kylie and Kendall Jenner than Khloe, Kourtney and Kim. Speaking about the new family dynamic, Caitlyn did not hold back.
"When you have as many kids as I have, you’re closer to some than you are to others - I certainly see them [Kim, Khloe and Kourtney] and we do this and that,” said Caitlyn. "I’m much closer to the Jenner side, but Kris, I don’t really have any more contact with her; it’s kind of sad because we went through a lot."
