Kris Jenner has jumped from ‘momager’ to ‘Momma Bear’ mode and is rushing to the defense of daughter Kendall Jenner. Kendall was recently accused of having left a restaurant without paying her tab. A New York waitress named Blaine Morris supposedly chased after Jenner, claiming that when she did cough up the cash, she did so in a most unkind way–including throwing the money in the waitress’s face.

Both Kendall and Kris Jenner vehemently deny this claim–about the rudeness anyway.

“Well, first of all, the woman tweeted ‘chasing a Kardashian down the street, Kendall’s a Jenner, so [Morris] needed, I guess, to get that attention out there,” Kris Jenner said during a recent interview.

“If anybody knows our little Kendall—our tall Kendall—she’s the most respectful little girl in the world and would never do anything like that,” Kris added. “And once she realized what was going on she absolutely gave the woman the 30 dollars that she owed—or 33 dollars, plus a tip—and felt very horrible about the fact that somebody would do this and create these stories and start spreading things.”

these rumors r absolutely ridiculous! I would never throw money in anyone's face or act that disrespectfully. I was raised better than that

Blaine Morris has been sent a cease-and-desist letter from Kendall Jenner’s lawyer for spreading what both Kendall and Kris Jenner claim are lies about Kendall.

“Although you are working as a waitress at Mercer Kitchen, I understand you are also a struggling actress. You no doubt concocted a fictionalized account of your encounter with my client in order to create publicity for yourself,” a portion of the cease-and-desist letter reportedly reads.

Morris must be concerned because her rant about the supposed scenario has disappeared from Twitter.

Kris Jenner is definitely a feisty lady–especially when it comes to defending one of her kids. Do you think the Keeping Up With the Kardashians matriarch was really protecting Kendall or the Kardashian empire instead?
