6 What Did Kris Jenner’s Former Assistants Say About Her Work Ethics?
Kris Jenner’s former assistant, Pam Behan, said she tended to flip out when things didn’t go her way.
The ever-efficient momager has several personal and executive assistants who work with her to run the day-to-day affairs of her family’s business empire. Over the years, Kris Jenner has proven to be reality TV gold and a business mogul who knows how to stay trending. It is safe to say that thanks to her selection of assistants, she has been able to successfully execute goals to keep the family business afloat.
Like every boss, the TV star has a set of rules she expects her staff to follow by the book, and if an assistant is found wanting, they will definitely face the consequences. She once confirmed this to HuffPost in 2018, noting that a breach of privacy will not go unpunished, even if the person was not financially buoyant. Kris Jenner revealed:
“I don’t care how much money somebody might have. Some people think, ‘Oh, I don’t have any money, and they are not going to sue me.’ Well, we’ll take payments. We’ll garner those wages for, you know, the next 10 years…”
Inside Kris Jenner’s Relationship With Her Six Kids
Kris Jenner is not only her kids’ parent, but she is also their manager, and that can strain even the strongest relationships.
A former nanny, Pam Behan, revealed that the TV mogul was demanding. Behan relayed that she could also get increasingly temperamental if things don’t go Kris Jenner’s way in the slightest form.
On TikTok, a user named Madeline Steiz went viral after making a short-form clip detailing her work experience with Kris Jenner. Steiz alleged that she would often have nightmares about the Kardashian-Jenner family because she was consumed by work. Steiz clarified that working with the matriarch was not horrible, and being absorbed by the job was an aspect of it all. She noted:
“It’s totally part of the job, no matter who you work for. Their whole life is your life.”
The TikToker claimed to have worked for Kris Jenner for about three months. Madeline Steiz noted how she spent time studying how to pronounce designers so she does not sound “like an idiot” when speaking to the TV star.

It’s all worth it.” Kourtney Kardashian’s former nanny, Leah Barr, appeared to share a similar sentiment about the great working conditions when she opened up about leaving the Poosh founder’s employ.
