Brody Jenner Deserves More Respect From His Family

by Martha Sorren

Kim Kardashian has just escalated to a whole new level of messed up. In a sneak peek for the Keeping Up With the Kardashians finale , we get to see more about why Brody Jenner didn't go to Kim Kardashian's wedding. Spoiler: it was because the whole family was being kind of a jerk about it—especially Kim. Although Brody's official reason for not attending was because the destination wedding clashed with his work schedule, it seems more like he wasn't wanted there on Kim and her family's behalf.

Not only does the clip reveal that Kris and Bruce Jenner paid for Brody's brother Brandon and wife Leah to attend, but Kim took a dig at Brody's girlfriend Kaitlynn Carter. "He asked to bring, you know, his girlfriends and I said no," she said to Bruce. "Once you get there you'll see the location of what I'm talking about, and then you'll see."

Um, did Kim basically just say Carter wasn't invited because the location was too upscale to allow her to join? Because that's what it sounds like.

Unfortunately, Bruce didn't even stand up for his son and agreed with Kim not inviting Carter. "That's not gonna happen," he said.

The whole situation is sad, especially because it's not the first time the family has dissed him. Remember when none of them wished him a happy birthday? Super lame.

But the worst part is that Brody's actually really good for the family. We already know why fans should love Brody Jenner, but here's why his own kin need to treat him with more respect, too.

HE'S REALLY INVOLVED IN KENDALL'S LIFE

It's pretty obvious that Kendall struggles with the brand of her family the most. She says it's hindered her career, and makes her feel guilty, and that she just doesn't always like the reality show limelight. But she always has a place with Brody, whether they're paddle boarding or he's stepping in to protect her from creeps. Kendall clearly needs that kind of person around to let off some steam with, so her family should be grateful Brody makes time for her and is there for her.

HE STANDS UP FOR HIS FAMILY

The Kardashian/Jenners may not extend the same courtesy to Brody, but he's ready to defend his sisters when the time calls for it.

HE STANDS UP FOR BRUCE

His dad spent years having his feelings walked on by Kris, and Brody was always there to remind his dad that he has a voice, too.

HE'S KHLOE'S SHOPPING BUDDY

True friends who like to shop are very important in the Kardashian Klan, and should be treated with respect.

HE PUTS UP WITH KIM'S SELFIES

Kim takes a lot of selfies, so dealing with them is the mark of a true hero.

I'm sorry that your family doesn't always appreciate you , Brody. But at least your fans do.
