IT was the end of an era. On Sept. 8. Kim Kardashian took to Instagram to announce that the upcoming 20th season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians will be the last for the E! reality hit, which propelled Kim, as well as her siblings Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian and Kendall and Kylie Jenner and their momager, Kris Jenner, into the celebrity stratosphere. “After what will be 14 years, 20 seasons, hundreds of episodes and numerous spin-off shows, we are beyond grateful to all of you who’ve watched us for all of these years,” she wrote.
Her message was gracious, but according to sources, the show’s demise is wreaking havoc behind the scenes. Members of the Kardashian-Jenner family are desperately trying to plot their next moves as money woes continue to mount. “They have massive debt,” says one source. (It’s said they are in the hole for $400 million.) To blame: Their beyond lavish lifestyles. “Between the mansions, the household staff, the private jets and vacations around the world, and the designer wardrobes and handbags, their credit card bills are astronomical,” says the insider. Now, without their $150 million KUWTK paychecks in the bank, the source says they’re scrambling to stay afloat: “They’ll all have to get other jobs or sell their homes to cover their over-the-top expenses.”
