It takes a formidable momager to be able to use the day to day life of her family and transform distinctly average events into the makings of one of the most successful reality TV programmes in history.

It’s no surprise then that Kris Jenner did not take kindly to Michael Buble's (unfunny and inappropriate) joke about a sex tape involving her daughter which was leaked without her consent.

Buble’s poor taste wisecrack was about his disappointment that Ray J was featured in the video alongside Kim Kardashian, instead of him.

Appearing on Watch What Happens Live, Buble described how Jenner challenged his comments during an appearance on his NBC show, Michael Buble’s Christmas in Hollywood, in 2015.

“[Kris Jenner] gave me a ton of s*** about a joke I made about Kim Kardashian," he said. "I had to explain it to her, and we had talked about comedy before. Like I said, it’s a big part of what I do.

“I was on stage, and I made a joke and it was just kind of after the tape, the Ray J. thing. I said, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage, Miss Kim Kardashian.’ They [the audience] all thought she was coming, and I was joking, and she wasn’t. And I was like, ‘No, I’m just messing with you,’ and I said, ‘That bitch is never coming on my stage.’”

“'Because she didn’t put me in that video. I’m so jealous of Ray J.' I was putting myself down.”

He said Jenner had only read that he had called Kardashian a b***h and was placated, telling him “Oh, that makes me feel so much better because I wondered what we did to you to make you . . . you know.”
