Kim Kardashian’s Grandma MJ Has an Instagram to ‘Creep’ On the Kardashian-Jenner Family
The Kardashian family has been in the spotlight for nearly fifteen years. The reality-television stars have created a dynasty, that all spawned from their groundbreaking show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Throughout the years, viewers have become familiar with many of the Kardashian-Jenner clan’s extended family members.
One family member who makes occasional appearances on the show, and who is obviously a very important presence in the family’s lives, is their grandmother, “MJ” Shannon. Recently, Kim Kardashian opened up about her beloved grandma and the surprising way that she keeps tabs on her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Social media is very important to the Kardashian-Jenner family
Ever since Keeping Up with the Kardashians premiered in 2007, everyone in the family has been taking advantage of social media to help enhance and build their brand. In the early days of their fame, Kardashian was by far the most popular member of the family on social media, and one of the savviest as well. She regularly took time to engage with her followers, asking them questions, and posting exclusive content to help drive engagement.
These days, she is still one of Instagram’s leading influencers, although her younger sister, Kylie Jenner, has taken the lead as the Kardashian-Jenner with the most followers. The sisters — and to a lesser extent, their mother, Kris Jenner — utilize their social platforms to post snapshots of their lives, sneak peeks of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, sponsored ads, and promotional content for their many businesses. Fans seem to love following them, and their posts get lots of love, although the family doesn’t quite interact with followers as much as they used to.
Who is ‘MJ’ Shannon?
Long before Kardashian even existed, Mary Jo Shannon was raising her two daughters, Kris and Karen Houghton. Born in 1934, Mary Jo Shannon, better known as “MJ” to fans of the Kardashian-Jenner family, has been married a total of three times, with her third husband having passed away in a car accident in 2003.
MJ has been a consistent presence on the show throughout the years, popping in to offer words of wisdom or support to her daughter, Kris Jenner, and her many granddaughters. She has even been known to join in on the family escapades from time to time, modeling with her family on shoots or allowing them to style her in fashionable ways.
There is no doubt that everyone in the family loves and treasures MJ and greatly values her advice.
Kim Kardashian revealed that MJ ‘creeps’ on the family via Instagram
Most of the world is still hunkered down in quarantine, waiting out the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Kardashian-Jenners have been just as active on Instagram, sharing family photos, and reminiscing about glamorous past events.
Recently, Kardashian took to Instagram to dish a family secret. “Fun fact my grandma has a creep IG account to see what were all up to,” Kardashian posted on her account, along with a sweet photo of herself, Kris Jenner, and MJ Shannon rocking matching blonde locks.
Of course, Kardashian didn’t reveal Shannon’s Instagram handle in her post, but her words undoubtedly sent fans scrambling to try to uncover the secret Instagram account. Shannon has been on Kardashian’s mind a lot lately, and in a March post, she revealed that she had a bunch of beignets delivered to her quarantined grandmother, who is considered to be in the high-risk category for contracting COVID-19.
