Behind-the-scenes chaos killed ‘Kocktails With Khloé’

The sudden cancellation of Khloé Kardashian’s new series after only 14 episodes came as a surprise to media watchers because the ratings were high — but behind the scenes, the show was “chaos,” sources told Page Six.

Although critically panned, “Kocktails With Khloé” had been a ratings bonanza for niche network FYI since its Jan. 20 debut.

It averaged 24 percent more viewers than a show in the same slot a year ago, and online it netted the most views in the channel’s history.

But an insider said of “Kocktails,” “It was chaos. Nobody agreed with anybody else about what it should be or what direction it should be going.”

Another source said Kardashian rubbed some staffers the wrong way.

“Khloé’s used to being on a smash-hit show [‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ with sister Kim] and being able to call the shots. But it’s not like that on a small show . . . Eventually everyone had enough.”

The network said the final episode will air April 20. Reps for FYI declined to comment, and reps for Kardashian didn’t get back to us.
