If you’re a Kardashian follower, then you know how their lives work. Dramatic events will happen, and you have to wait months and months to see it all unfold on their show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians .
This tactic clearly works, because even though Khloé gave birth back in the spring, we’re just now seeing the family deal with her labor and the Tristan Thompson cheating scandal.
RELATED STORIES
Of course, we’re obsessed.
It’s pretty crazy to think that in December of 2017, we learned that Khloé and Tristan were expecting their first baby together.
Okay, we really learned the news months before if you followed the gossip sites, but December is when Khloé officially confirmed it.
It seemed as though the pair were living their best, drama-free lives for a few months, until they weren’t.
Just days before Khloé was due to give birth, news broke that Tristan was seen at a club, getting a little too cozy with other women.
Twitter basically exploded when they learned that Khloé was going into labor not long after the news broke.
People were stressed and worried for Khloé, and understandably so.
Fortuntately, for those of us who can’t mind our own business, the “KUWTK” cameras were there to film most of the events that unfolded.
And we were finally able to see what went down in real time.
In the episode, we see Kim, Kourtney, Kendall, and Kylie all find out about Tristan’s affair at the same time.
Kylie ends up telling Khloé the news off camera, and says that she would rather have her hear it from her sisters than from someone else.
Which is a fair point. It wouldn’t be much longer before the rest of the world found out and started tweeting her about it anyway.
Kim calls Khloé, and we hear them talking.
At first, Khloé says that she’s okay, but then she says to Kim that she doesn’t want to give birth in Cleveland anymore, and wants to come back to LA.
Kim tells Khloé to be calm, and to just worry about herself right now.
“I can’t be calm. Not right now,” you hear Khloé say.
The episode ends as Kim and Kourtney are about to fly to Cleveland, because Khloé has gone into labor.
And as usual, Khloé watched the episode as it aired last Sunday, and tweeted along to her fans.
She acknowledged that the episode was going to be hard to watch, but she signed on for the show, which meant that we would see the good and the bad.
She started off by saying that her heart was racing, and basically came out and admitted that she had forgiven Tristan.
Honestly, good for her for even watching the episode. I don’t think I could have.
She also tweeted about why she let Tristan in the delivery room, despite having just found out about him cheating on her.
Her reason for wanting True to have videos and photos of her dad holding her when she was born is extremely selfless.
We love that she was in the right mindset to even consider that for her daughter.
In the episode, she even says to her sisters and her mother that she doesn’t want any drama in the delivery room.
She basically warned her sisters to be nice to Tristan while she was giving birth.
Kim said she was going to stare him down and not say anything to him at all, which is probably nicer than what she would have preferred to do.
It’s also nice for her to know that a lot of her fans have her back.
It must feel impossible to relive all this drama again, but with fan support, it’s probably a bit easier.
Next week’s episode will focus on the actual birth and cover the post-cheating conflict.
If Khloé describes it as three facepalm emojis, you just know that we’re all in for a wild ride.
While Khloé was live-tweeting the episode, many people were singing her praises for being so strong and making every decision with her daughter in mind.
Since this drama all went down months ago, we’re going to assume that Khloé and Tristan have worked through things and are doing much better.
So, hopefully that made the episode more bearable to watch for Khloé.
If things aren’t as great as we think, I’m sure we’ll be finding out about it when the show airs it in a few months.
We’ll have to wait until next week to see how the drama unfolds during the delivery.
But at least we know why Khloé let Tristan remain involved despite the drama.
We love a selfless queen!
