Caitlyn Jenner is shedding some insight into Kim Kardashian's initial approach to fame.

In a newly released trailer for "House of Kardashian" – a three-part docuseries based on the famous family – Jenner said that Kim "calculated" how to become famous from the start.

I am incredibly proud of all my children and stepchildren."
