Washington: American reality TV star Kris Jenner is "freaking out" after an international media outlet exposed daughter Kylie Jenner for representing herself as far wealthier than she actually is.
According to news reports, Kris is scared over potential damage the expose could cause the Kardashian-Jenner brand she's spent years building.
As per the outlet, "Kris and Kylie are freaking out and fear that this is going to hurt their brand, and even worse, they could be in trouble with the government," a source revealed.
The source also claimed that the mother-daughter team is 'definitely worried' about potential legal and social ramifications for allegedly over-estimating the value of her highly-successful Kylie Cosmetics brand through shady means.
The report read, "Kylie's business is significantly smaller and less profitable than the family has spent years leading the cosmetics industry and media outlets, including Forbes, to believe."

Jenner's lawyer, Michael Kump, demanded a retraction from the money mag in a statement on Friday: "We have reviewed Forbes' article accusing Kylie of engaging in deceit and a 'web of lies' to inflate her net worth. The article is filled with outright lies. Forbes' accusation that Kylie and her accountants 'forged tax returns' is unequivocally false and we are demanding that Forbes immediately and publicly retract that and other statements."
Forbes has recalculated Kylie's net worth at just under 900 million USD.
