Esther Jenner is speaking out about her former daughter-in-law, claiming Kris 'was backstabbing as far as my grandchildren were concerned, and that is something I can't stand.'

AceShowbiz - Bruce Jenner's mother, Esther Jenner, opens up about her son's marriage with Kris Jenner in a new interview with Mail Online. When asked if Kris is a "controlling monster," Esther replies, "That's accurate. I don't know why she is. I don't think she treated anybody very well."
"She could insult you with a big smile on her face, I know," Esther adds, "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's 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."
Esther claims Bruce is happy following the split. "He is ecstatically happy right now. When I talk to him I can hear it in his voice and he's spending a lot more time with his kids," the 88-year-old mother shares, "I don't think he's a bit lonely. He seems like he's himself again."
She continues, "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. He's not shy about telling you that she controlled the money."
Esther even goes as far as to say her reaction was "Hallelujah" when first knowing about Bruce and Kris' separation. She hopes Kris would change her name back to Kardashian because she doesn't "want her to carry the name."
Esther claims her resentment towards her former daughter-in-law started soon after they were married in 1991. "Kris never cooked [while Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner were growing up], she was always running out to eat with her girlfriends and she left Bruce to take care of the two babies and he did. The only one I ever saw change the diapers was Bruce [too], I never saw Kris do it," she says.
"[Bruce]'s the one that got them in the bath and in their pyjamas at night, he's the one that took them back and forth to school when they were going to their private school, Kris didn't," she continues, "I don't know why, she would take off on vacations go to Cabo San Lucas with the girls. Kris hasn't bothered to bring up Kendall and Kylie, but Bruce has brought them up, thank God."
Esther adds of her former daughter-in-law, "Kris has been so disrespectful, she would sit down and bad mouth my grandchildren that I love dearly from Bruce's first two marriages and then in the next breath [say] how wonderful, wonderful, wonderful her girls were."
