Kim Kardashian is on lockdown, said RadarOnline.com. Sources say that Kardashian’s mother, Kris Jenner, has gone into damage control with her reality-star daughter, grounding her until the bad press from her divorce filing against husband Kris Humphries clears. “They did not anticipate the extreme backlash and the damage it would cause to the [Kardashian] brand as a whole,” said a source close to the family. “Kris wants to make sure that the ratings are huge for their show, and she knows that if Kim stays under the radar until that airs again they’ll get the maximum publicity.”
