The Kardashian’s are famous for a lot of things, and for the most part, it’s not their talent. They started out their meteroic rise to reigningreality televisionby claiming thatthey’re relatable. But are they really? Besides their billions of dollars in combined wealth and close proximity tothe historicOJ Simpsoncase, the least relatable thing about them has to be that they are way too friendly with their exes.
We all know howKim Kardashianfirst made headlines in the industry, and while we shouldn’t lord it over her head because leaking sex tapes is a crime, and she was a victim, she maintained real estate on the pages of tabloids (remember those?) by dating around. Dating is tantamount to networking for the Kardashian family. Even after their breakups,the Kardashian sisters are able to be a little too buddy buddy with their exes.
Khloé and Kim Should Evaluate Their Boundaries With Their Exes
Khloé Kardashianis a Cancer and Kim is a Libra, so the stars literally aligned for them to be way too nice to their exes. Let’s start off withLamar Odom, who recently made an appearance onThe Kardashiansandfamously did Khloéso dirty during and after their marriage.Lamar struggled with addiction, and that’s a heartbreaking disease to grapple with every day. On top of that, he “lost track” of how many girls he cheated on Khloé with. Even after their split, they were still legally married and she was by his side as he was on the brink after being found unconscious in a Las Vegas brothel after taking a combination of drugs. They even brought him toKanye West’sfashion show during NYFW, which was beforeKanye became a pariahso that was actually them making a nice public gesture to him. Lamar continued to take shots at Khloé while at the same time, saying he’s still in love with her and that she was still his wife. Kim, being the good sister that she is, made a jab on Twitter about Lamar’s predilection for brothels.
When Lamar had a reunion with Khloé on this season ofThe Kardashians, it was a littlejarring to see his behavior. He showed up late, and was trembling with nerves when he finally arrived. He told Khloé that he expected a kiss from her during their meeting, while also saying he struggled to reconcile withall the horrible things he didto her during their marriage. It’s been twelve years since they separated, and it was unsettling to see that he still had this vice grip on their marriage.Khloe was saying all of the right things, but in an emotionally withholding tone.He brought her a cake with the date of their anniversary on it, and she did a kind of convincing job of pretending it wasn’t completely weird.
Kendall and Kylie Jenner’s Potential Spin-Off Stirs the Pot on ‘The Kardashians’
During The Kardashians Season 6, a producer pitches a brand-new show idea.
Khloé’s amicability with her exes extends toTristan Thompson, who famously cheated on her both when she was pregnant and when their surrogate was pregnant. He even fathered a child with another woman while Khloé was undergoing the IVF and embryo implantation process. And yet he still is platformed by their show and given the opportunity to market himself as a good guy who just happens to mistreat his girlfriend that gave him more fame, more money, more cameratime. Khloé even took Tristan’s disabled brotherAmariin to live with her after their mother unexpectedly died.While that’s kind of her to do, she also needs to set some boundaries soshe can finally move on.
The Kardashian Kurse is Just Karma
While Khloé seems to be kind to her exes due to poor boundaries, Kim seems to do it to keep the peace and for her public image.Of course, she conspired to getKourtney Kardashianback withScott Disickafter he cheated on her for years, and she and her family still platform him while Kourtney’s uncomfortable with the whole thing. On top of that, Kim’s way too nice toher narcissistic Nazi ex husband Kanye. He has endangered himself along with her and their children with his unhealthy, vicious behavior. He has spent most of his fortune and will continue to do so with all of the lawsuits thrown at him for his condemnable behavior. It’s sad, but Kim has been firm but fair by still letting him into their kids' lives. She recently drew a line by not allowing Kanye to include daughterNorth West’sname in a rap where he’s defendingDiddyand brought him back to court after finding out that he had the Tate brothers over while their kids were at his home, butit’s insane thatit took this long.
There’s been rampant speculation for years that the men who date the Kardashian sisters are afflicted with “The Kardashian Kurse” after they break up. But is it really a “kurse” or is just karma doing what the Kardashian sisters are way too nice to do?These women are way too forgiving, even after getting their licks in by leaking their side of the breakup or making petty-but-tasteful social media jabs.Maybe they’re more evolved and empathetic than we think they are, but it’s wild and uncomfortable to watch play out on our screens.
