Kim Kardashian's ex-stepmother Ellen Kardashian has reportedly taken legal action against the Kardashian sisters and their mother Kris Jenner for defamation.
Ellen married their father Robert Kardashian two months before he died of cancer in September 2003.
She is taking legal action against Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian, their brother Rob, mother Kris Jenner and Ryan Seacrest Productions, who produce the family's reality TV shows, claiming their 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' programme is trying to portray her as a gold digger who married the lawyer on his deathbed, reported TMZ online.
Ellen is also furious how, during a recent episode of the show, the producers tried to make her appear as a blackmailer.
She also claimed the family 'trashed' her on the show and accused her of marrying Robert for his money.
In the lawsuit, in which she is seeking unspecified damages, Ellen slammed the Kardashian clan's 'meaningless' careers and lashed out at Robert's former wife, Kris, who is now married to Bruce Jenner.
The documents accuse Kris of being 'a manipulative and devious mother and ex-wife who simply used and exploited her children'.
