In one of the more brutally honest disclosures you're likely to read, Khloe Kardashian shares a little bit about one of the more painful aspects of life. Sometimes, your family and the world know you're heartbroken before you do.
Calling into the April 16 episode of Call Her Daddy, Khloe explained how her sister, Kim Kardashian, and mother, Kris Jenner, found out about her previous partners' cheating before she did. In particular, she talked about the betrayals of her ex-husband Lamar Odom and ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson, two cheating scandals that split pop culture home pages, and Khloe's home life in two. She explaind, "Kim has known about the cheating—I think both of the cheating stuff—I think Kim found out first, "Which is crazy. And then my mom with my ex-husband, she knew things before I did and had to tell me."
Even though the revelations sound like a plot twist from reality TV, they were genuine to Khloe. Kim, specifically, was infamously filmed finding out Tristan had cheated on Khloe just as she was expecting their daughter, True Thompson. As Keeping Up With the Kardashians cameras rolled, Kim was thrust into a moment of raw emotion that would eventually define the narrative of Khloe's pregnancy and relationship. "When Kim found out that Tristan was cheating on me, she was about to sit down for Keeping Up interviews and it happened while she was in the interview chair." "I don't know if as much would have been shown if that's not how it was unfolding in real time. We just happened to be filming all the f--king time."

This degree of access is a staple of the Kardashian family's reality television dynasty, but for Khloe, it also meant that intensely private moments frequently unfolded on a global stage. Still, she doesn't resent her family for being the first to know or for breaking the news. "I would rather a family member than a stranger," she said. "I don't like that any of this stuff happened, but I don't—I would rather it them. I'm not someone that gets mad at the messenger."
That perspective embodies a wiser, more resilient Khloe who, tempered by hardship, sees her family as partners instead of her saboteurs, even during a crisis. You know, one of the things that has resonated with fans over the years about her and what has been so relatable is her ability to remain poised and forgiving, even in the face of betrayal.
Khloe's confession highlights how enmeshed her public and private lives have gotten. Reality is often stranger than fiction in the Kardashian-Jenner empire, and the cameras hardly stop rolling. Khloe somehow does both, though we cannot say why she manages to deal with strength, comedy, and class.
The founder of Good American is not only looking back at her past but taking back her story with ferocity and precision. In a world where betrayal becomes news in the time it takes to access the latest gossip, the heartbreaking truth about Khloe has forced us to remember the redemptive power of family even when it hammers the heart. Though the public might always be watching, Khloe Kardashian continues living her way.
