Kris Jenner Had Quite the Reaction When Asked if Kim Kardashian Leaked Her Sex Tape on Purpose

Anyone who's a die-hard Keeping Up with the Kardashians fan knows that the subject of Kim Kardashian's infamous sex tape was heavily covered during the show's formative years. In fact, it was during a conversation about the tape that Kris Jenner's now-iconic "but as her manager" meme was born:

But in recent years, the Kardashian family has moved on from Kim's tape, and barely ever address it. Which is why it's slightly surprising that Kris Jenner spoke at length about the tape during a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, calling it "devastating" and "one of the most horrific things that we, as a family, went through."

She also addressed the years-old rumors that Kim leaked the tape herself to drum up publicity. "Of course it's nonsense," Kris said. "You know, haters are gonna hate. People are gonna come up with the most ridiculous things."

Hmmm, if the tape wasn't leaked, then clearly it's time to whip out our other favorite Kris Jenner meme:
