Kris Jenner's 'Wisdom' Candle Infomercial Resurfaces
Kris Jenner has been known to do a whole lot within pop culture, and you might not know that she added candle saleswoman to her resume.
The infomercial dates back to sometime in the late 1990s or early 2000s and featured Kris as the host of a 28-minute program promoting "Wicks of Wisdom," a candle line created by Dr. Linda Salvin, who described herself as a psychic medium. According to Business Insider, the candles were marketed as being able to tap into "universal energies" and help people with issues including money, relationships, luck, and health.
The reality star appeared in a pinstriped pantsuit and introduced the candles as an especially powerful product, while the infomercial featured testimonials from people who claimed the candles had improved their lives.
The video later resurfaced on Reddit, where users were quick to marvel at the unexpected glimpse into one of Kris' earlier business ventures.
"In the next few moments, you're going to discover a product that is so powerful, it can enhance your life forever," she can be heard saying in the video, which you can watch here.
Social Media Users React To Kris' Commercial
The resurfaced clip had Reddit users poking fun at the famous 'momager' for enthusiastically promoting the candles, with some particularly amused by the contrast between the infomercial and her longstanding public discussions about her Christian faith.
The mom-of-six has spoken about growing up attending church, identifying with Christianity, and turning to prayer and God throughout her life. More recently, she has continued to discuss her faith and daily prayers in interviews, which led to some more backlash and shade online.
"Anything for a buck, since forever," commented a Reddit user on the "insane" video.
"So she's a witch," joked another, with one user adding that Kris was "never beating those witch allegations."
"Grifter," commented an Instagram user.
"What a shock," a sarcastic user added, with another writing, "She's been hustling."
