It might be hard to believe, but we have been keeping up with the Kardashians for over a decade. We were first introduced to the family in October 2007. Over the past 12 years, we’ve watched the family grow up, form families of their own, go through breakups, and of course, live through seemingly endless scandals. Though we’ve seen all of them play out in a public setting, there have honestly been so many that we’ve forgotten about by now. From Kim’s infamous sex tape, to Kylie’s secretive pregnancy, we’ve recounted (just some!) of the Kardashian’s kraziest scandals. Check it out below!
1. Kim's Sex Tape

This was the scandal that began all subsequent Kardashian scandals, and arguably what launched them into fame. In 2007, a sex tape made by Kim and her then-boyfriend Ray J, released just months before the premiere of Keeping Up.
2. Kim's 72 Day Marriage

Kim started dating basketball player Kris Humphries in 2010. They were engaged by May 2011, married by August 2011, and filed for divorce by the end of October 2011. But let’s not forget the most iconic moment of their relationship -- when Kris witnessed Kim’s meltdown over losing her $75,000 earring at the bottom of the Bora Bora ocean.
3. Kylie’s Lip Fillers

Before Kylie’s infamous lip kits, people were very skeptical over the aesthetic change in her lip shape and plumpness. In 2015, she finally owned up to the fact that she got lip fillers.
4. Kendall's Pepsi Commercial
Before this scandal, Kendall was probably the sister with the least drama. But, when the model starred in a Pepsi ad, she received some major backlash. The commercial invoked that sharing a Pepsi could solve problems in a climate where #BlackLivesMatter protests were at the forefront of the news.
5. Tristan's Cheating Scandals

Of course, Tristan’s cheating scandals are at the forefront of our minds in the wake of him cheating on Khloé with her little sister’s best friend, Jordyn Woods. Sadly for Khloé, this wasn’t the first time he was accused of cheating, the first occurring just days before Khloé gave birth to their daughter, True.
6. The Kylie-Tyga-Rob-Chyna Love Web

Strap in for this one, because it can get a little confusing. Black Chyna and Tyga started dating in 2011. In 2012, Blac Chyna got pregnant with their son, and the pair got engaged. Shortly after they broke up in 2014, Tyga began dating Kylie Jenner. Right around the same time, Chyna started dating Kylie’s half-brother Rob. Of course, that relationship opened up a whole new can of worms…
7. Rob and Blac Chyna’s Public Blackmail

Rob and Blac Chyna went through their ups and downs in an extremely public manner. But the worst was Rob’s revenge porn. In 2017 he posted explicit pictures of Chyna to his Instagram as payback for allegedly cheating on him.
8. Kendall Promoting #FyreFestival

If you haven’t watched Hulu's or Netflix’s documentaries on the Fyre Festival, you need to watch them immediately. The fraudulent festival utilized the world’s most famous models to promote the event, including Kendall Jenner. The now-deleted post prompted a lawsuit against Jenner for misrepresentation.
9. Kylie Jenner's Criticism For Being a “Self-Made” Billionaire
In an August 2018 issue,Forbes featured Kylie on the cover, dubbing her the youngest self-made billionaire. This prompted a lot of readers to ask, “Does Forbes know what ‘self-made’ means?” These critics claimed that Jenner was not self-made, due to the family wealth she was born into, along with the residuals from KUWTK fame starting at just 9 years old.
10. Scott Disick's Relationship with Sofia Richie

After countless years of an on-again off-again relationship with Kourtney Kardashian, Scott Disick began dating then 19 year old, Sofia Richie. The couple are 15 years apart, and still together as far as we can tell.
11. Rob Cheating on Adrienne Bailon

You might remember that Rob and Adrienne dated for two years starting in 2007. Unfortunately, on an episode of KUWTK, Rob admitted that the pair broke up because he cheated on Adrienne.
12. Kim's Braids

Kim has had some issues with appropriating black culture to say the least… On numerous occasions she has worn her hair in cornrows and boxer braids, which has received major backlash. Hopefully she learns from her mistakes… finally?
13. Kendall and Kylie’s Biggie and Tupac Shirts
In 2017, Kendall and Kylie received a huge backlash on releasing these shirts as apart of their clothing line. Fans of Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac criticized the sisters for disrespecting the legendary rappers. Notorious B.I.G.’s mother posted the statement above, prompting the sisters to pull the shirts from their store.
14. Kylie's Secret Pregnancy
This has to be the most core-shaking Kardashian scandal of all. The Kardashian-Jenner family, as well as their circle, kept Kylie’s pregnancy with Travis Scott a secret for the entire duration until Jenner herself released the news.
