The 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star is reportedly suffering from a "major cash shortfall" at the moment, as the world focuses on her ex-wife Caitlyn Jenner, who was previously known as Bruce Jenner before undergoing a gender transition.

A source said: "Kris is worth millions on paper, but she's got a major cash shortfall right now and needs some help getting through the summer. Kris has been working on a big publicity onslaught to salvage her reputation after 'Caitlyngate'.

"[She's] getting all the nips and tucks you can think of [and planning] tours of the Middle East, Europe and Australia."

And to cover her plans, the 59-year-old television personality is said to be asking for financial support from her daughter Kim Kardashian West.

The insider added to RadarOnline.com: "She's asked Kim to loan her $100k, although she needs a lot more than that for what she's got planned."

Meanwhile, a source previously claimed Kris went "through the roof" when she saw Caitlyn, 65, for the first time.

They said: "No one in the family was expecting Caitlyn to be as beautiful as she is. Everyone is shocked at how soft and natural she looks and, of course, Kris is just through the roof.

"Kris knows that she is no longer the 'momager with the most' and this drives her absolutely nuts!"
