The Kardashian family is no stranger to editing. Everyone, including Kris, love a good filter. Plus, most, if not all, have experienced an embarrassing photoshop fail.

But this latest question of what's real and what's not took place on the family's reality show, The Kardashians. It appears that one major scene involving Khloé and Tristan Thompson's cheating scandal was faked.

This isn't the first time they've been accused of faking a scene.

Earlier in the season of The Kardashians, fans were dubious over a scene that involved Kendall. It showed the model in Miami with her friend, Hailey Bieber, but the timeline didn't add up.

That's because Kendall was actually in Houston at Astroworld at the time.

If you remember, the event that took place on November 5, 2021, was a horrific scene of 10 deaths. Kylie Jenner's partner, Travis Scott, was performing when a deadly crowd surge began.

The youngest victim was just nine years old.

Both Kendall and Kylie were at the event, watching from a VIP section at the rear of the audience alongside Kylie and Travis's daughter, Stormi. Kylie posted a controversial Instagram Story that showed an ambulance in the crowd.

But none of this was shown on the family's Hulu reality TV show, 'The Kardashians.'

In a bid to avoid addressing it, the storyline went that Kendall was in Miami with Hailey. Since she missed her mom's birthday, which actually took place the same night as Astroworld, Kendall called her the next morning to debrief.

Given the horrific circumstances around Astroworld, fans were disappointed that the show glossed over it.

"We’re not stupid #TheKardashians we know kendall was with kylie and travis in houston during the astroworld accident on kris’s birthday. don’t play it off like Kendall was in Miami the whole time," a fan commented.

A few weeks after the episode aired, it appears that another major scene has been faked.

The scene in question took place during the show's explosive season finale. In it, Khloé Kardashian found out that her ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson had cheated on her again.

And that he had fathered a baby boy with a woman named Maralee Nichols.

Tristan shares a baby girl, True, with the Kardashian. Since the controversy took place during the time of filming, the camera crew caught tape of the drama unfolding.

This included Kim talking to Khloé on the phone as she sobbed over the news.

But although this happened in real-time, one scene, in particular, did not. This was the family emergency scene where Kim, Kourtney, Kris, and her boyfriend Corey met to discuss Khloé's situation.

Khloé was supposed to attend but backed out at the last minute.

Now fans know why: the scene was totally faked. It was eagle-eyed Redditors who figured this out based on the timeline and the outfits the family was wearing.

They noticed that Kourtney had been photographed by paparazzi in Malibu wearing exactly the same outfit, hairstyle, and nail color, in the family meeting scene that was filmed on January 31.

Based on the actual timeline, this means that the family meeting was filmed two months after Tristan's cheating scandal broke.

Fans weren't impressed with being deceived, especially when it's done badly.

"This timeline is chaotic I’m over it. why even put out the season if it was gonna be edited so poorly," one Redditor wrote.

"The meeting was so emotionless. This news was truly shocking and to have them all together was so fake," another added.
