Kris Jenner knows how to put out fires, but even she can get shocked sometimes!
Ahead of celebrating her 40th Mother’s Day, the momager spoke with Refinery29 about some of her biggest mommy moments, including receiving “alarming” phone calls about her grandkids being rushed to the hospital.

Detailing one instance involving Kim Kardashian West‘s son Saint being at risk, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star explained:
“The most recent one that comes to mind is a week ago or so when we went to Palm Springs and Saint, my little grandson, we discovered he might be allergic to grass. We ended up in the E.R., but all is well — we figured it out.”
But the first time is always the scariest, as Kris recalled Kourtney Kardashian‘s oldest, Mason Disick, also having a terrible allergic reaction:
“The first one I ever got was the most alarming. It was when Mason ate peanut butter and his face started blowing up and his throat started closing. They had to rush him to the hospital. He had a peanut butter allergy for the longest time. He’s fine now. The scariest is always the first time.”
We can only imagine how terrifying that must have been for the entire family!
It’s not just her grandchildren that she’s looking out for, though. This matriarch is also here to defend her daughter Kylie Jenner… and add a few words about the controversial “self-made” title:
“I feel like she’s 100% self made in the true sense of the word. She’s been independent her entire life — from the time she was a little girl all the way up to her teens. When she became old enough to make a great decision, she took the money she had earned working since she was eight or nine years old, and she put that into her business. Nobody gave her any financial help whatsoever. She saved up her own money and built this amazing business and I just feel like there’s nothing not self made about that.”
As we previously reported, the reality TV star has been adamant about calling herself “self-made” since being dubbed so by Forbes. The young momma even defended the title in a piece for Interview Germany in March. She said:
“There’s really no other word to use other than self-made because that is the truth. That is the category that I fall under. Although, I am a special case because before I started Kylie Cosmetics, I had a huge platform and lots of fans. I did not get money from my parents past the age of 15. I used 100% of my own money to start the company, not a dime in my bank account is inherited… and I am very proud of that.”
She later conceded in a different interview with the New York Times:
“I can’t say I’ve done it by myself. If they’re just talking finances, technically, yes, I don’t have any inherited money. But I have had a lot of help and a huge platform.”
Clearly that’s not the messaging Kris wants out there, but is anyone else surprised she’d be coming to her youngest’s side??
