Kendall and Kylie Jenner turned down their half-brother Brody Jenner’s invitation to attend his wedding to Tia Blanco in Malibu

Kendall and Kylie Jenner were notable absentees as half-brother Brody Jenner tied the knot. Former Hills star Brody, 41, married Tia Blanco in Malibu, but the famous siblings decided to skip the ceremony.

It’s claimed the occasion wasn’t a priority for Kylie, 27, and Kendall, 29. The duo and Brody are both children of former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner. While Kyie and Kendall’s mum is Kris Jenner, Brody’s is Caitlyn’s ex-wife, Linda Thompson.

According to sources, Brody reached out personally to his half sisters with an invitation to his big day months ago. However, they are said to have had other commitments, meaning they couldn’t attend.

Despite the reasoning, insiders believe the pair could have made an appearance if they really wanted to. They then claimed Caitlyn’s ex-wives, Kris and Linda, have had “bad blood” over the years.

“Linda is quite a character, and has a lot to say about Kris – and vice versa,” the source told the Sun. “It was fireworks for a few years, and that drama did carry through into the kids.”

And it’s claimed Brody never warmed to Kris. “He’s never gotten over it,” they said. “And so when the siblings were trying to build relationships, Brody would often fall back into this narrative of blaming Kris for everything.”

The source went on to say Kylie feels like a “stranger” within Brody’s family unit and feels a lot closer to the Kardashian clan.

However, another source told TMZ there is no bad blood, but “mutual love” between the Jenner sisters and Brody, suggesting Kylie and Kendall may have swerved the event “to keep the spotlight on the bride and groom”.

While Kendall and Kylie were not present for the special occasion, Caitlyn was in attendance. And despite the no-shows, Brody seemed to have enjoyed his big day. He took to Instagram shortly after and gushed: “Last night was truly something special. We had the best time celebrating our love with all of you,” he wrote on Instagram.

“Thank you to everyone who came out and made it such an unforgettable night. We felt so much love and couldn’t be more grateful.”

Despite missing their half-brother’s ceremony, the Jenner sisters took time last month to attend the lavish get together for Jeff Bezos’ big day. However, while Kylie and Kendall Jenner’s appearance was a bit more understated, the elder sisters, Kim and Khloe, seized every chance to turn heads from the moment they rocked up in a plunging catsuit to their swift departure after the 25-minute ceremony.

Body language expert Judi James told The Mirror US: “These sisters behaved very much like 20 year old bridesmaids: single, playful and still as selfie/self-obsessed as any teenager.”

She analysed their “their jurassic, self-flaunting body language,” specifically when they posed for snaps on a water taxi using “the classic duck-face pout and the inevitable over-stretched V-sign finger signals.”

And she also said they appeared “happily obsessed with their own image”.

Former MasterChef judge John Torode reportedly learned of his fate via the BBC News website after the corporation and Bandijay released a statement

John Torode reportedly learned of the end of his MasterChef career through the BBC News website. The TV chef recently claimed he was never contacted by the BBC or MasterChef’s production company about their decision not to renew his contract on the cooking programme he’s been part of for 20 years.

Last night, Torode confirmed he was the person alleged to have used racist language amid an investigation into his former co-star Gregg Wallace’s behaviour. Torode claimed he had no memory of making the comment and denies it ever happened, but the BBC and Banijay both released statements on the situation as they confirmed he was axed from the programme.

Banijay said that they took “this matter incredibly seriously” as they detailed the “highly offensive racist language”. The 59-year-old soon took to his Instagram page to claim they never reached out to him about his contract.

In a statement shared on social media, he claimed: “Although I haven’t heard from anyone at the BBC or Banijay – I am seeing and reading that I’ve been “sacked” from MasterChef and I repeat that I have no recollection of what I’m accused of.

“The enquiry could not even state the date or year of when I am meant to have said something wrong.

“I’d hoped that I’d have some say in my exit from a show I’ve worked on since its relaunch in 2005, but events in last few days seem to have prevented that.”

And now, a source claim Torode was “blindsided” by the news and learned of his fate through the BBC News website.

“John’s agent received a call 11 minutes before the statements went out and hadn’t had a chance to call him,” an insider claimed to The Sun. “He read about it on the BBC News website.”

The Mirror have reached out to his reps for comment.

Speaking of their decision to axe Torode, the BBC said on Tuesday: “John Torode has identified himself as having an upheld allegation of using racist language against him. This allegation, which involves an extremely offensive racist term being used in the workplace, was investigated and substantiated by the independent investigation led by the law firm, Lewis Silkin. John Torode denies the allegation.

“He has stated he has no recollection of the alleged incident and does not believe that it happened. He also says that any racial language is wholly unacceptable in any environment.

“The BBC takes this upheld finding extremely seriously. We will not tolerate racist language of any kind and, as we have already said, we told Banijay UK, the makers of MasterChef, that action must be taken. John Torode’s contract on MasterChef will not be renewed.”

BBC director-general Tim Davie had earlier condemned the “serious racist term” the Australian-born presenter was alleged to have used, after it was announced his contract on MasterChef will not be renewed.

Torode began presenting the BBC cooking contest alongside Gregg Wallace in 2005.

On Monday night, Torode confirmed Torode was the subject of an allegation of using racist language that was upheld as part of a review carried out by law firm Lewis Silkin into Wallace’s behaviour while filming the programme over 19 years.

In 2022, Torode was made an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours, for services to food and charity.

He became a familiar face to TV audiences in 1996 as the resident chef on ITV’s This Morning, before joining MasterChef alongside Wallace when it was known as MasterChef Goes Large.

Caitlyn Jenner’s manager died after colliding with a car while on an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) ride near Caitlyn’s Malibu mansion

Caitlyn Jenner has reportedly been supporting Sophia Hutchins’ family after her manager tragically died while on an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) ride near Caitlyn’s Malibu mansion.

The LA Sheriff’s Department reported earlier this month that the 29-year-old died at around 11.30am. The crash occurred on Decker Canyon Road, which is a public road about a mile north of Pacific Coast Highway. Authorities were called, and she was pronounced dead at the scene. It was said that drones were used to help locate Sophia’s body after the ATV collided with another vehicle on the road above.

Almost two weeks after the tragic accident, it has been reported that Caitlyn, 75, has offered Sophie’s mum Amy a place to stay as they grieve the late manager’s death.

A source recently told TMZ: “Both devastated, Caitlyn and Amy have been leaning on each other for support during this incredibly difficult time.”

The Mirror have reached out to Caitlyn’s reps for comment.

In previous reports from MailOnline, officers claimed Sophia was speeding at the time of the crash.

“It looks like she may have been speeding and rear-ended the other car, the other party, and then that caused her to veer to the right and go off the cliff,” Sergeant Eduardo Saucedo said to the publication.

“It doesn’t seem like she was following them. I think she just she came up on them and then hit the car.” The women in the Mazda, which Sophia is said to have tried to swerve around, were uninjured.

The sergeant said: “So it looked like she tried to manoeuvre to go around it, but she was going too fast and just ended up clipping the rear end of that Mazda, causing her to veer off and go off the cliff there.”

It came as a source close to the Keeping Up With The Kardashian star disclosed to RadarOnline.com: “Caitlyn is numb with shock. She is absolutely devastated and can’t believe what’s happened. Sophia was a big part of her life.”

Sophia helped Caitlyn with her professional affairs after her split from Kris Jenner in 2017. Sophia, who featured in Caitlyn’s I Am Cait docuseries, wanted to help shield Caitlyn from exploitation.

In a candid New York Times piece from 2019, she explained: “I saw nobody was managing her, and there were all these people taking massive advantage. And I was saying: ‘Caitlyn, if I don’t step in here and start managing you, you’re going to go broke’.”
