Keeping Up With The Kardashians star Kris Jenner shared a birthday post for Kourtney Kardashian's fiancé Travis Barker but is staying quiet about Kylie Jenner's longtime boyfriend Travis Scott. As most fans would know, Kylie's baby daddy is involved in a tragedy related to his Astroworld event. Things got out of control at the Astroworld music festival and many people reportedly lost their lives. According to different reports, hundreds of music fans got injured during the event and 21 people died. It's been reported that the crowd on the back started to push forward and caused the people in the front to get compressed.
As soon as the news of the Astroworld tragedy came out, many celebrities reacted to it, including the Kardashian-Jenners. Kylie was one of the first to respond since she was in attendance at the event. She wrote, "My thoughts and prayers are with all who lost their lives, were injured or affected in any way by yesterday's events." Kim Kardashian also shared her thoughts, writing: "Absolutely heartbroken for the lives who were lost and anyone who was hurt at Astroworld." Kendall Jenner also shared a few words on social media. The only family members who have not addressed the situation yet are Kourtney, Khloe, and Kris.
Most people have expected the famous momager to react to the Astroworld tragedy, but she is choosing to remain silent as of this writing - perhaps as a form of damage control. She is 66-years-old and has a lot of experience in handling tough situations like these. As such, she probably understands that no amount of sympathy, explanation, or supportive words would help the grieving fans. Kris has a reputation for mitigating problems, but fans would dislike it if she acted like a crisis manager at this time. She likely understands that trying to control the situation would only put a target on her. Thus, she seems to be choosing to focus on other positive things and acknowledge the new musician in the family that isn't displaying questionable and violent behavior.
Some KUWTK fans think that Kris wished Kourtney's new partner a happy birthday to create a distraction from the Astroworld tragedy. Recently, Kris has promoted Kendall's Vogue cover and Khloe's Cosmopolitan cover. She's also supported Kylie's brand. Still, she is avoiding comments about Travis Scott, possibly to divert the fans' attention by supporting Kim's new romance with Pete Davidson. Kris may also want to portray that she isn't close to Travis, even if he is her daughter's baby daddy. Kris is close to Scott Disick and has shared multiple posts related to Travis Barker and Kanye West on her Instagram page, but fans will have a hard time finding a single post about Travis.
One thorough look at Kris' Instagram profile would suggest that she is genuinely not close to Kylie's on-again, off-again boyfriend. However, she has publicly praised Travis Scott for being a great father to his daughter, Stormi Webster. Therefore, it seems like the Keeping Up With The Kardashians alum Kris is staying quiet about Travis and just plotting her next move to make people forget about this Astroworld incident.
