There may be some debate over whether or not Caitlyn Jenner deserves an ESPY (Spoiler alert: She does), but like it or not, the former Olympian will take the stage to receive the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage at the annual ceremony next month.

Many of her family and friends will be on hand for support, but according to Radar Online, the always-devious Kris Jenner is hoping to take the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone by stealing the spotlight from Caitlyn and mending her relationship with son Rob at the same time.

It sounds complex (Like we said, she’s devious.), but Kris’ plan is actually quite simple.

Sources say that after years of struggling with his weight, Rob Kardashian is well on his way to slimming down and Kris wants him to make his trim debut at the ESPYs.

Kris is a master of PR, of course, and she reportedly thinks it would be the perfect revenge for when Caitlyn stole the thunder from Kim’s pregnancy announcement by making her debut on the cover of Vanity Fair the same day.

Unfortunately for Kris, Rob actually has a soul and a conscience and wants no part in the scheme.

“Rob thinks it’s twisted that his mom wants to use him to upstage Caitlyn’s big night.” says one insider.

Passing up an amazing photo op out of respect for a family member?! We’re guessing Rob got disowned for that one.
