It was only a matter of time before things between the Kardashian family and Bruce Jenner went south, right? For a family that loves exploiting every moment of their personal lives, the reality TV family has tried their best to steer clear of mentioning Jenner's transformation. While he has been included in the upcoming season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, it is now pretty clear that the show will be used as a vehicle to help drive him from the family. The family has all but washed their hands of him.

According to a report by TMZ, Jenner's lack of participation in the family will actually be a new storyline.

"There's a scene in the show where the girls discuss how Bruce is such an infrequent visitor, Bruce and the boys are almost completely out of the picture," according to the report.

One of the girls said, "Maybe it's time to admit to themselves that they're barely even enough of a family anymore to go on vacation [with us]."

At one point Kim said, "Things are only going to get more difficult and complicated," referring to Bruce's sex change, explained the source.

You have to remember that this footage was also filmed a few months ago, before it was confirmed that he is indeed in the process of undergoing a transformation into a woman. It was also long before Jenner was involved in that deadly crash on the Pacific Coast Highway that took the life of one of his former Calabasas neighbors.

If the Kardashians thought he seemed distant back then, he must be really MIA now that he has moved from a Malibu bachelor beach house to a ranch high in the mountains away from everyone.

There are also supposedly issues with Jenner believing that the family began leaking details about his sex change to the press long before he was ready to publicly address things.

Jenner may be transforming into a woman, but do you think his public appearances are going to also become few and far between? Tell us your thoughts in the comments section below.
