“They’re buying them Prada, and they’re buying them gifts, and they’re going to these events and they’re meeting Kanye,” Shanna said of her kids’ relationship with the KarJenners. “I don’t have the money to do that.”

They’re doing all these things, which is fine… I don’t think it’s great when they put a wedge in between their biological mother.”

Paul Archuleta / FilmMagic“When Travis got with Kourtney, there was some parental alienation going on there, where Travis — even when we weren’t together — always wanted to be the ‘super dad,’” she said on the Jan. 10 episode of the
Dumb Blonde podcast.

And I think they got caught up in that, which young kids would do,” she said, alleging that her children were “enamored” by the glamorous KarJenner lifestyle.

I don’t have that. I don’t have access to that. I don’t have the money to do that. … My house isn’t a mansion like Travis’. I don’t have a movie theater. I don’t have golf carts for you kids to drive.”
Gregg Deguire / FilmMagicShanna didn’t speak directly about the current nature of her relationship with her children. Although, she did say she loves them “unconditionally,” even if they aren’t on the best terms.
