For weeks before Bruce Jenner came out as transgender, we heard reports that there was one of member of his family who was less than okay with the idea of him going public.
Rumors of Kris Jenner "blaming herself" for Bruce's decision and generally freaking out about something that really has nothing to do with her were all over the place in the weeks leading up to her ex's Diane Sawyer interview.
Then, when the big night came, and Kris was the only one of Bruce's ex-wives who refused to comment on the situation, we realized that the talk of Kris being her usual prickly self was totally legit.
So perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that Radar Online is reporting that Kris has turned to booze and pills to help her "cope" with Bruce's coming out.
“She’s drinking and taking the panic-disorder medications Klonopin and Xanax to deal with the anxiety she’s experiencing," says one insider.
"She alternates between the Klonopin and Xanax, and she’ll switch from wine to champagne to margaritas."
Naturally, the task of confronting Kris about her growing problem has been left to the one Kardashian with an honest bone in her body.
“Khloe never holds back and told her to cool it on the boozing, especially around the house," says the source.
"They all know Kris will pop a pill before going to bed, but lately she’s been taking them to help her get through a tough day, and every day now seems to be a tough day,”
The really sad thing here is that Kris is using Bruce's proud moment as an excuse to drink margaritas. Margaritas are their own excuse, Kris!
