The Kardashian family is addressing the most recent cheating scandal between Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson ahead of the show's season one finale. The family was recording their new show as the scandal erupted, which means fans are now able to see what was going on behind the scenes as Khloé navigated the unfriendly news coverage with her family.
As viewers recently saw, Khloé was preparing for Tristan to move into her recently completed home right before the news broke. To make things worse, she found out about the baby that Tristan fathered with Maralee Nichols the same way the rest of us did — from the internet.
The season finale of the Kardashian family's Hulu series is focused tightly on the events as they unfolded in real time. At the time of filming, Maralee Nichols was due to give birth, but Tristan had not yet confirmed he was the baby's father.
The family reveals that they found out about the baby and the cheating from the Daily Mail instead of from Tristan himself. It is also revealed that Tristan had already contacted lawyers about the situation but had yet to say anything to Khloé.
The members of Khloé's family are clearly angry about the news and worried for Khloé, especially as this was not the first time she had gone through this scenario with Tristan.
Khloé addresses the cameras and viewers directly, explaining, "I find out what Tristan is doing with the rest of the world. A courtesy would be not doing it. But fine, if you do it, you're not even gonna be a [expletive] heads up before the rest of the world? It's just an additional slap in my face. It's humiliating; I'm embarrassed."
She continues, "I'm replaying every event, every grand gesture, every trip, every date … all of that was a lie. I feel just not really in my own body; these things are just happening, and I'm going through the motions. But when things happen to you a few times, you do kinda become immune to them, which is really sad."
"Everything is an act of betrayal; everything is a lie. It's manipulation; it's deceit. Did Tristan have every opportunity to tell me? Yes. Was Tristan going to tell me if there wasn't a baby involved? Absolutely not. And that shows a lot about his character. The entire thing is despicable."
She concludes, "There's nothing that can be said or done that will make me feel better. All of the work, the energy, the conversations, all of those bricks that we were laying down [for] this foundation — all for it to just [have] a tornado go through and everything to be demolished."
