The 65-year-old reality star has cut his ex-wife - with whom he has two daughters, Kendall, 19, and Kylie, 17 - out from the deal for his upcoming TV show which will document his gender transition; a move which has reportedly angered the mother-of-six who has looked after his career since the beginning of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. A source told The Sun newspaper: ''Kris is as you see on the show - bossy, nosey and controlling. She didn't want to relinquish control because it makes it harder for her to sort out fees for Keeping Up With The Kardashians.'' The decision for Bruce to find a new manager comes just a week after E! announced it had snapped up the show chronicling Bruce's transition, which will be an eight-part series airing this summer.

This series will present an unfiltered look as Bruce boldly steps into uncharted territory and is true to himself for the first time.''
