Statter grew up alongside Kardashian thanks to their mums, Shelli Azoff and Kris Jenner, being besties, now they create campaigns together and share throwback pics on Instagram

Having ultra famous friends can be a catalyst for your own fame. A throwback photo, a birthday post, a holiday selfie – sometimes that’s all it takes for the world to sit up and pay attention. And while most people would love to piggyback on a well-known pal’s success, Allison Statter isn’t one of them.

In fact, this LA native is the opposite. She’s been close friends with Kim Kardashian since primary school and hiding that fact from the world for so long was no mean feat. She managed it too – until Kardashian posted a heartfelt message about her on Instagram, baffling her followers.

Yep, it was on Statter’s 40th birthday that she suddenly went from being a relative unknown, to someone front and centre in the Kardashian spotlight. Already known in certain circles for being the daughter of music mogul Irving Azoff, the world also found out that she’s Kardashian’s oldest and dearest friend.

Let’s find out a little more about the woman who has been there for Kardashian through thick and thin.

She has a famous father

But the Kardashian connection comes via Statter’s mother Shelli, who is fast friends with Kris Jenner, meaning that the girls have been playing together since they were tiny.
