Most of us know a lot about the Kardashians, even if we don't watch KUWTK on the regular. Anyone who goes online gets bombarded with information about this reality TV family, whether they want to or not. But there is so much more to learn, including some juicy behind-the-scenes facts about the filming of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. This list is filled with these exciting facts, plus some onscreen highlights.

The family has changed so much over the years. Kris and Caitlyn ended their relationship. Kylie became a billionaire, thanks to the incredible popularity of Kylie Cosmetics. Kim married Kanye and then became a mother. Kendall became a supermodel. Kourtney and Scott had their ups and downs but learned how to co-parent after they broke up. Rob had a ton of drama with his baby mama, Blac Chyna, and the drama continues to this day...

This family is always in the spotlight. The public can be fickle, so there's no telling how long the Kardashians will reign in the US and all over the world. While they still have so much power, they are leveraging it to grab fame, money, and perks galore. Whether people love this family or really don't, they'll find this list interesting. It provides the inside scoop on KUWTK.

20 The House Exterior Shown Wasn't The Real Thing

Did you know that the exterior shots for Keeping Up With The Kardashians feature a house that isn't really the Kardashian family manor? It's true, according to Refinery29.com. The rationale behind using a fake house for the exterior shots was sensible. It was a choice that was made to protect the family's privacy.

Celebrities are sometimes at risk because of overzealous fans. If the real house was shown, unstable "fans" might get too close. However, a lot of KUWTK viewers don't realize that the house isn't the real thing. The "fake" house in question features architecture inspiration from Italy and it's never been owned by any member of the Kardashian clan.

19 Kris Had Total Control Of The Footage

Kris had complete control of footage for Keeping Up With The Kardashians and still does today. She's the boss. She can decide what gets shown on the reality television show and what doesn't. She's the only family member who has that level of power. If Kris wants certain scenes excluded from the show, she can say so and it will be done. She is one who shapes what fans see when they watch the show. She's always creating the narrative, per Thehollywoodgossip.com.

Kris is a savvy businesswoman who heads an empire that is based on image, so it's no surprise that she's in control of the footage.

18 Kanye Used To Avoid The Cameras

Kanye used to shun the Keeping Up With The Kardashians cameras. This season, he's been a presence on the show...and he's been an interesting presence so far. Kanye isn't an average person. He has a lot of talent, a unique mindset, and strong opinions that some people just can't get behind.

While he has his detractors, many of them still enjoy watching him on KUWTK. It's a novelty to see Kanye on TV, interacting with Kim and the kids. It's something brand-new that most people didn't really expect him to do. His beef with Rhymefest was even explored on the show, according to Refinery29.com.

17 The Crew Were Always On Call

The camera crew for this show practically lived at the Kardashian house and still do. They are on-call most of the time because Kris wants them there in case something exciting happens that should be filmed. So, the camera crew is really a constant fixture in the lives of the Kardashian family.

According to Refinery29.com, sometimes when scenes are being filmed, there will be a lot of crew members there, out of camera range.

This family doesn't have the usual privacy. There are always staff members around. But this is how the family wants it. The Kardashians benefit greatly from the fame that comes from being reality TV favorites.

16 Kim Lost Kourtney's Racy Pics

Kim got really upset because she felt responsible for the theft of racy pics of her sister, Kourtney. According to Nydailynews.com, a man named Eric Ford was eventually arrested for trying the sell the pictures. He was trying to sell racy pics of Kim, too.

When pics like this are lying around in physical form or on electronic devices, there is always the risk that they'll be stolen. Kim said the pics were inside of a purse of hers that was stolen.

Kim cried when the whole situation happened. She said she'd taken the photos of Kourtney's just as a prank, and that someone else stole them and tried to get money for them.

15 Khloé Helped A Homeless Man

Khloé Kardashian has a fun, bubbly personality and she often seems more spontaneous than her sisters. She's got a lot of strong points. She's good at domestic stuff (she was often the one keeping the Kardashian home tidy), she was pretty responsible about running the DASH boutique before it closed and she also tries to help other people sometimes.

During KUWTK, she felt compassion for a homeless man and decided to help him by giving him a set of new teeth. The guy looked totally different after his dental makeover, according to Jezebel.com. It was actually quite moving. He didn't stay in the Kardashian universe for long, though.

14 Khloé Had A Tipple Before The Cameras Rolled

Khloé prefers to have a drink before filming the show because doing so makes it easier for her to loosen up. This may explain some of her humor, which is pretty "out there" sometimes, according to Cosmopolitan.com. She is a funny person with a lot of personality. She'd probably be the same without the tipples, but who knows?

Whether she's doing talk radio or just hanging out, she tends to say exactly what is on her mind. She doesn't filter everything. She had a talk show, Kocktails with Khloé, but it was canceled, although ratings were high. There was a lot of drama on the set.

13 Kris Demanded Flattering Lighting

Kris generally looks fabulous. I have no issue with her demand for flattering lighting. I think it's a smart request. It won't help her brand if she's filmed under harsh lighting that doesn't make her look her best!

Kris has the power to get whatever lighting she wants and she wields that power, according to Lifeandstylemag.com. She oversees her entire image.

Kris is vain, but so is almost everyone, but who can really judge that? Kris has spent a bundle to look the way that she does. I mean clothes and jewelry and glam squads and cosmetic surgeon bills. She wants all of her hard work showcased with the very best lighting.

12 Rob Decided To Pursue Modeling

Rob has a college degree in business from the University of Southern California, but he decided to pursue modeling, despite a great education. Modeling is the type of employment option that seems so easy and glam. Models spend their time being flattered by clients, photographers, stylists, make and makeup teams and fans. It's an alluring way of life because it really strokes the ego. Plus, modeling can be artistic. Kris wasn't too excited about Rob becoming a model, though.

Male models tend to make much less money than female models, even when they have famous last names, like Kardashian.

11 Kim Was The Favorite With Crew And Staff

Kim has had her moments of getting a little full of herself, but, overall, she's remained the most like she was at the start of filming, and her lack of big personality changes is the reason why the crew prefers her to other members of the Kardashian family.

Kim is naturally blessed with confidence and a strong sense of self. She's a smart woman, too. The crew enjoys working with her on the show. According to Radaronline.com, Kim actually began treating the crew members better as she gained influence and wealth. How a person treats underlings says a lot about them.

10 Khloé Asked The Crew Not To Film Her Pigging Out

Khloé doesn't want to be filmed pigging out, which is understandable. She has asked the crew to back off from filming her when she's noshing, because she thinks those shots are not too flattering. This seems like a fair request. She wants some privacy when she's eating, especially if she's indulging in junk food.

According to Thedailymeal.com, Khloé has gotten quite careful with her food intake. She's more interested in eating clean now than she was in earlier seasons of KUWTK. She's also become a big fan of workouts. She's very fit these days and likes healthy smoothies for breakfast, which we've seen on her IG account.

9 Kim's Ego Began To Grow

During earlier seasons of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim was well on her way to becoming one of the most famous women in the US. Her ego surged a bit as a result. The family called her out and she tried to make adjustments.

Fame goes to most people's heads. People who are famous get a ridiculous amount of special treatment. They also gain entourages who flatter them because they are on the payroll, or just want to enjoy whatever residual perks of fame they get by hanging out with celebrities. So, it's no surprise that Kim's ego grew a little.

8 Khloe Wondered If She Was Adopted

There has been a lot of talk about who Khloé's dad is. Many people believe it is not the late lawyer and Kardashian patriarch, Robert Kardashian. Some people think it's O.J. Simpson, or a hairdresser named Alex Roldan. The hairdresser definitely bears an uncanny resemblance to Khloé, but this could be a coincidence.

Khloé has even doubted who her mother is, probably because Khloé looks a lot different than other members of her family. Khloé got a DNA test, but she argued with her mom about taking it before the test happened. Per OKmagazine, Kris was pretty offended by the whole thing.

7 Kourtney Confronted Scott About Other Women

Scott's mischievous ways brought tension to his relationship with Kourtney. It was almost like people watching KUWTK could see Kourtney's heartbreaking right in front of them sometimes.

In earlier seasons, Scott was always talking to Kourtney like she was the ultimate love of his life. He made her feel like a princess, but how much of it was real? Scott's texts to a woman he called, "my wife" on his Smartphone were unearthed. That woman wasn't Kourtney. This really just scratches the surface. Scott's player lifestyle ways eventually caught up with him and Scott and Kourtney were no longer a thing.

6 Kim Thought About Firing Momager Kris

Kris is a caring momager, but she was stretched a bit too thin sometimes on KUWTK. She had a lot of tasks to take care of, from scheduling to deal-making and beyond. When Kris would make mistakes, Kim would get frustrated. Kim wanted everything to run smoothly at all times, according to Bravo TV. The idea of firing Kris and finding a manager, rather than a momager, occurred to her, but she didn't go through with it.

Despite occasional issues, Kris and Kim have always been very close, although Kim finds that Kris prefers Kylie these days. Does Kris prefer the offspring who's having the most success?

5 Kris Got A Monkey

When Kris started to brood about empty nest syndrome, the family stepped in and rented her a monkey, so she wouldn't miss out on the feeling of taking care of a being. The monkey was rambunctious. It was cute, but very high energy. Kris got worn out trying to look after it.

Monkeys aren't really meant to live in houses, no matter how fancy the houses are.

IMDb says Kris was thinking that she needed another baby because her kids were all growing up. The monkey was brought in to remind her that babies of most species require a great deal of care.

4 Kris And Caitlyn Called It Quits

Some relationships just aren't meant to last. That doesn't mean that they didn't have great value. Sometimes, people just grow apart. Kris and Caitlyn grew apart. Now, they live apart. Their romantic relationship is over.

Caitlyn's transition may have been part of the reason, but it wasn't the whole reason. In long-term relationships, there's always more than one problems. It's a buildup of things over time.

Caitlyn denies that gender issues were the only thing that triggered the demise of her relationship with Kris, according to Pagesix.com. Caitlyn believed she was mistreated by Kris sometimes — not to mention, Kris controlled the money, too.

3 Scott Lost His Parents

Scott deserved sympathy when he lost both parents, one after the other. That's such a harrowing experience. It's like a safety net is yanked out from under a person. It causes so much pain and isolation, no matter how strong of a network of other friends and family a person has. Losing parents is a milestone that no one wants to experience.

Scott's dad passed away just a few months after his mother passed away, according to Hollywoodlife.com. Scott is quite wealthy since he inherited a great deal of money from his parents and has also made big money of his own.

2 Kendall Revealed Her Anxiety

Kendall's picture-perfect life isn't always as perfect as it appears. On KUWTK, she revealed that she deals with anxiety. Kendall seems like a sensitive person and life's pressures do take a toll on her. Her long-term battle with acne left her with low self-esteem — she was so self-conscious, according to Hollywoodlife. Nowadays, she works in the modeling industry and on reality TV and she's constantly being scrutinized. That's enough to make anyone feel anxious.

She recently had a big breakout that was visible at a red carpet event. Of course, everyone noticed and commented. Kendall has had panic attacks. She's using mindfulness techniques as a treatment.

1 Scott Got Mad When Kourtney Moved On

Scott did some sad stuff, but he clearly needed time to adjust to the idea of Kourtney being with another guy. He didn't take it well when Kourtney began seeing Younes Bendjima, according to Us.blastingnews.com. Scott was reported to have called up Younis, whom he perceived as having stolen Kourtney away and making some offensive statements.

Scott and Kourtney's ups and downs were right there for everyone to see on KUWTK, and stuff happened behind the scenes, too.

They're co-parenting well these days, but the past will always be there. Scott is now with Sofia Richie. Scott and Sofia helped Kourtney to celebrate her birthday (slightly ahead of time) in Finland in April 2019.
