HIDDEN HILLS, CALIFORNIA: Kris Jenner came under fire for a commercial in which she identified herself as the brains of the most recent Papa John's Pizza partnership product. The 67-year-old matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner family uploaded a video of herself beaming as she displayed her most recent "invention." The product in question was the Doritos Cool Ranch Papadia, a joint venture between Doritos and Papa John's.
In the upbeat promotional video, Kris showcased her "latest creation" taking full ownership of the work. On Friday, May 12, the 67-year-old 'Kardashians' star tagged Doritos and Papa John's in a post on Instagram with the caption, "My latest creation is finally here!!

'Who else would come up with such a genius idea?'
The momager adds that she was the one who came up with the concept for the collaboration that produced the part-pizza, part-sandwich meal in the Cool Ranch flavor in the promotional film. The reality TV actress displayed the item while donning a vibrant pink two-piece suit with a black top underneath, per Mirror.
In the video released on Friday, Kris went on to say, "I know a thing or two about creating a brand. And I'm here to tell you that this new amazingly delicious idea for the Doritos Cool Ranch Papadia was all mine." She blew her own trumpet and exclaimed, "I mean who else would come up with such a genius idea?"
The 67-year-old Kardashians star claimed she was en route to meet her daughters when she grabbed a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos from her purse as she drove by a Papa John's. Kris said, "I immediately stop the car, called my kids, and said, "Your mom just came up with the best idea ever." And here were are. I mean, look at this thing. Take it from me."
'Seen hostage videos more convincing than this'
Fans, though, weren't convinced by the tale and were ready to lambaste the Kar-Jenner boss. Fans promptly roasted the momager in the post's comments section. One of them wrote, "Kris I love you so much but I don’t see you eating Papa John’s or Doritos." A second one jibed, "Kris, respectfully, I’ve seen hostage videos more convincing than this." A third fan typed, "I feel like it should be illegal to lie about something like this. Just tell us they offered you a lot of money to promote. We all (the non gullible) know that’s exactly what happened."
While a fourth called the collaboration "off brand," while another fan said, "This is so cringe but I still love her." Someone else quipped, "Immediately stopped the car and called my kids and said,' All the money I have is not enough, I'm going to lower myself to doing this ridiculous ad and get just a little bit more'" One more wrote, "Lies all lies lol I don’t believe for one sec she eats Doritos or papa Johns. Totally unrelatable." Another fan exclaimed, "Kris we know you don’t eat Doritos . Who you trying to fool here😩😭🤣🤣🤣🤣"
Kardashians mocked for previous link ups
Kourtney Kardashian promoted the brand Daring of plant-based chicken in a previous collaboration last year. Kourtney, 44, was called "disgusting" for keeping food on her bathroom floor during a photo shoot for the plant-based chicken brand Daring in March 2022. After posting an Instagram picture of her tiled floor piled with plates full of chicken bids, fruit, and desserts, the 'Kardashians' star received a steady stream of negative feedback, as reported by Page Six.
Kim Kardashian's 'Beyond Meat' commercial garnered criticism for her use of the word "delicious" while ostensibly avoiding putting the product near her mouth. In her 'Beyond Meat' ad from last May, Kim was publicly criticized for taking no nibbles and appearing to "fake" chew.
