Bruce Jenner's mother has called Kris Jenner a "controlling monster".
The 88-year-old mother of the former Olympic athlete, Esther Jenner has hit out at her daughter-in-law, admitting that she used to "stay away" from Kris whenever she could.
When asked if she felt that the 59-year-old momager was a "controlling monster", Esther told the Daily Mail newspaper: "That's accurate. I don't now why she is. I don't think she treated anybody very well. She could insult you with a big smile on her face. What do you do with a person like that? You're going to avoid them if possible. She was backstabbing as far as my grandchildren were concerned and that is something I can't stand.
"She domineering - it's do it her way, or there's no way. I had very little to do with Kris. I stayed away from her as much as I could."
Talking about her son's new found freedom, Esther revealed that Bruce is coping really well since he separated from his wife of 22 years.
She said: "He is ecstatically happy right now.
"When I talk to him, I can hear it in his choice ... since he has got his freedom he has his own checkbook and doesn't have to ask Kris for money which he's had to do, he couldn't even buy one of his little helicopters without asking her for money."

Simon Cowell has a phobia of getting ill.
The 55-year-old music mogul has regular vitamin injections to stay as healthy as possible because he can't bear the thought of being out of action.
His close friend Sinitta said: "Simon loves having vitamin injections because his life is so non-stop and he is phobic about getting sick or catching a cold.
"He has them regularly and just the other week had one in his 'X Factor' dressing room."
Sinitta - who raises adopted children Magdalena, nine, and Zac, eight - says Simon has changed a lot since his girlfriend, Lauren Silverman, gave birth to their first child, Eric, in February and predicts they will have more children.
She told Closer magazine: "Baby Eric is a mini Simon and so adorable. He's crawling and moving around so much.
"Becoming a father has been the making of Simon, it's changed him.
"I think he and Lauren will definitely have more kids. They're both great parents."
However, the 'So Macho' hitmaker isn't convinced the couple will ever get married.
She said: "I'm not sure if Simon will get married to Lauren.
"They are very happy, though, and it is nice to see him so in love and settled."

Chris Martin is desperate to repair his relationship with Jennifer Lawrence.
The Coldplay frontman was recently dumped by the 'Hunger Games' actress after four months of dating, but has been "saying all the right things" in a bid to win back her affections.
A source told Britain's Grazia magazine: "Jen cooled things with Chris because she thought he was keeping his options open and wanted to have his cake and eat it.
"But since then, Chris has been saying all the right things to Jen. He said he'd support her through the 'Hunger Games' tour and make her a priority."
Jennifer is said to have been particularly concerned about Chris' closeness to estranged wife Gwyneth Paltrow - with whom he has children Apple, 10, and Moses, eight - but he has told her she has nothing to worry about.
The source added: "Chris made lots of promises about issues that bothered Jen. He said she could meet his children and that he would make more time for her.
"He assured Jen that she didn't need to deal with romantic dinners with Gwyneth - it's definitely turning point for them."
However, while the 24-year-old beauty is open to reuniting with the 'Fix You' hitmaker, friends have warned her to be cautious and she wants to stay in control of their romance.
The source said: "Friends have warned Jennifer that Chris may just be saying what she wants to hear.
"She has agreed to keep seeing Chris and see what happens - she wants things to work but she's very much in control."

Khloé Kardashian's friends are still worried French Montana is "just using her for fame."
The 'Kourtney and Khloé Take The Hamptons' star recently reunited with the rapper following their split in September after six months of dating, but she has allegedly told her inner circle their romance is "all for show" and merely part of a juicy storyline for the upcoming season of 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians'.
A source close to the 30-year-old beauty said: "Khloé was single and loving it. Things with French had just run their course."
"But once filming began for the upcoming season of 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians,' all of a sudden, they were back together.
"Khloé's friends weren't happy because they feel that French is just using her for fame. But it was made very clear to Khloé's closest gal pals: This relationship, if it were to even be called that, is all for show. It won't last, and Khloé isn't saying they are in an exclusive relationship."
The reality TV star attended French's 30th birthday bash in Los Angeles with sister Kim Kardashian West and half-sister Kylie Jenner, 17, on Sunday (09.11.14), but an eyewitness told gossip website RadarOnline.com: "Kim kept rolling her eyes the entire night. It was obvious to everyone there that she didn't want to be at the party. Khloé can do so much better, according to her older sister, and just wishes should kick him to the curb."

Britney Spears' new boyfriend has signed a confidentiality agreement.
The 'Perfume' singer's father, Jamie Spears, reportedly insisted Charlie Ebersol sign a non-disclosure contract before introducing him to the 32-year-old star after they met to discuss a TV project.
A source said the 31-year-old TV producer - whose father is 'Saturday Night Live' co-creator Dick Ebersol and mother is actress Susan St. James - didn't mind signing the document, as he knew he would be required to do so because Britney is still legally under her father's guardianship via a conservatorship following her public breakdown in 2007.
The insider also revealed the aspiring director is taking the agreement very seriously and has told his friends nothing about the pop star, as there are "severe" penalties for violating it even though their romance is not "serious yet," according to gossip website TMZ.com.
Britney shared a number of photographs of herself with her new beau on Instagram over the weekend after confirming they are dating.
Last week, she said: "Yes there is a special someone. It's very new."
The blonde beauty, who has sons Sean, nine, and Jayden, eight, with ex-husband Kevin Federline, split from legal researcher David Lucado in August after 18 months of dating, amid rumours he cheated on her, and recently claimed she wasn't looking for a new romance.
She said: "I am pretty damn happy right now.
"It's all about setting yourself a goal and going for that and just being motivated and staying true to yourself."

Marc Anthony has got married to Shannon De Lima.
The 46-year-old singer, whose divorce from Jennifer Lopez was finalised in June following their split in 2011, tied the knot with his on-again, off-again Venezuelan girlfriend in front of close friends and family in the Dominican Republic on Tuesday (11.11.14).
A source said the couple exchanged vows during a romantic ceremony at the star's private residence in the exclusive resort of Casa de Campo.
Marc proposed to the 26-year-old model, whom he first started dating in 2012, in March, just one month after he split from his other on-again, off-again girlfriend Chloe Green.
Marc, who was married to 'Booty' hitmaker Jennifer, with whom he has six-year-old twins, Max and Emme, for seven years before their split, was also previously married to Dayanara Torres for four years until 2004.
He has sons Cristian, 13, and Ryan, 11, with the former Miss Universe, and also two adult children, Ariana and Chase Muniz, with ex-girlfriend Debbie Rosado.
Shannon also has a seven-year-old son, Daniel, from a pervious relationship.
Jennifer wished her ex-husband well after news of his engagement broke last week.
She said: "I'm happy for him."

Nick Lachey hopes Vanessa Lachey doesn't go into labour over Christmas.
The former 98 Degrees singer's wife is set to give birth to their second child, a baby girl, in late December or early January, and admits he doesn't want the tot to arrive too early "from a selfish standpoint," as he loves the festive season.
He said: "[I'd] love to see it not happen in the holidays, but some things are out of our control!"
Asked when Vanessa is officially due, he said: "It's anybody's guess."
The heartthrob, 41, and Vanessa, 34, celebrated their joint birthday at Disneyland on Sunday (09.11.14) in order to focus all of their attention on their two-year-old son, Camden, as they are worried his unborn sister will "steal his thunder" once she arrives.
The 'What's Left Of Me' hitmaker told E! News: "We kind of wanted to do something special like that for him before his little sister arrives on the scene and steals his thunder."
Nick thinks Camden is excited to become a big brother, but doesn't think he fully understands what is happening.
He said: "We've definitely gone over the fact that, 'Hey, baby sister is in mommy's belly,' and he'll kiss the belly, so I think he understands what baby sister means and that that's happening, but I think the truth test is when she arrives and all the attention's not just on him! We'll see how he reacts at that point!"

Robin Williams' children have inherited $50 million.
The late actor, who died from asphyxia due to hanging at his home in Tiburon, California in August, reportedly left the bulk of his estate to his sons, Zak Williams, 31, and Cody Williams, 22, and daughter Zelda Williams, 25.
According to the 63-year-old actor's will, a copy of which was obtained by MailOnline, his third wife, Susan Schneider, will be cared for under the terms of a prenuptial agreement they signed before their wedding in Napa Valley, California in October 2011.
Robin left instructions about how his fortune should be distributed by the Robin Williams Trust, which is now being run by a trustee, in the official document, dated January, 31, 2011.
The 'Mrs. Doubtfire' star's death was officially ruled a suicide last week following a lengthy investigation, and it was revealed he was struggling with a recent diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease, anxiety, depression and paranoia for many years.
Sources close to the actor also told gossip website TMZ.com that they believe Lewy Body Dementia - a condition commonly associated with Parkinson's that often includes side effects such as hallucinations - was a "key factor" in his death.

Cara Delevingne says owning an animal involves "a lot of time, love and money."
The British model - who has a pet rabbit Cecil - is leading a new animal welfare campaign and wants people to create original artworks celebrating their pets to help raise awareness and funds for the New Hope Animal Rescue organisation.
Launching the #Art4animals charity campaign, the 22-year-old beauty said: "I'm concerned by the level of cruelty suffered by animals at the hands of humans, and I believe we have a responsibility to stand up against animal abuse, and help provide those animals who have suffered, a second chance.
"Owning a pet is not all about the 'cute factor' - it involves a lot of time, love and money, so if you're thinking about getting any animal as a gift for someone at Christmas, or any time of the year, make sure you are ready for the commitment!"
The actress has also teamed up with Talenthouse, the online community of creatives, for the campaign and will "curate" an online exhibition of the artworks, which will be auctioned and also turned into limited edition prints.
She said: "This is such an exciting, worthy cause and I can't wait to see the art work that Talenthouse's global creative community produces. I hope you will join me in raising money and awareness for this fantastic rescue and all the animals that rely on it."
People are invited to submit artworks online with further details at facebook.com/talenthousefans.
