Kim Kardashian is done with "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" and no longer wants to appear on the family reality show. According to a new report by the New York Daily News, the 32-year-old is desperately trying to separate herself from her family in an effort to become a "high fashion icon."
A source told the newspaper that fans will see Kardashian on the show but not as much as before. Instead she wants to focus on her family life without the cameras. That also means that her daughter North West will not be on the show.
"You won't be seeing North even once on the new season. Kim decided no way is she going to be part of this circus," the source said. "She doesn't want to film ['Keeping Up With the Kardashians'] anymore [because] she's changing her image and breaking away from the family. She'll be moving into her house, but doesn't want the cameras inside her new house."
It's been speculated that Kanye West - who is notoriously known for disliking the media - is rubbing off on his girlfriend. According to several reports the rapper has been secretly trying to control Kardashian's life and has been pushing her to separate herself from the constant media attention surrounding her family.
The reality star who ounce sought out the attention and publicity has been slowly removing herself from the limelight. Now, it's revealed that this is all in an effort to take her name and brand in a new direction.
To help her make the transition from reality star to fashion icon, Kardashian left the family's longtime publicist Jill Fritzo and is now represented by Ina Treciokas, who is credited with Katie Holmes transformation from "Dawson's Creek" teen star to Elle cover girl.
Holmes has since returned back to her old publicist and a source told the Daily News Kardashian is expected to do the same.
"With Ina, Kim's goal is to be transformed from a weekly magazine star to a monthly magazine star," the source said. "She wants to be a fashion icon and off these weeklies that delve into her personal life. The one thing she wants more than anything is the cover of Vogue."
Her transition is said to be causing some tension in the Kardashian household. The source said that Kris Jenner is usually included on emails related to press and business but Kardashian has been handling it herself without her mom's help or approval.
