On the latest episode of The Kardashians, Khloe Kardashian dealt with the fallout of Tristan Thompson cheating on her again.
While the debut season of The Kardashians on Hulu came packed with numerous storylines, one of the major plot-points revolved around Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson amicably co-parenting and receiving therapy for Tristan’s infidelity.
That, however, came to a close on the season finale, where Khloe found out that Tristan had not only cheated on her yet again, but also fathered a child with another woman.
The revelation came after Kim came across a December 2021 Daily Mail article, which revealed that Thompson had confessed to fathering a child with another woman while he was in a relationship with Khloe in court papers. This not only led to an emotional fallout on Khloe’s end, but also seemed to bring Tristan’s chapter to a close in her life.
“You would think you either wear a condom, get a vasectomy or you don’t f**k random people that you meet in other states. It’s not like rocket science.” Khloe told Kim while discussing the news.
In separate conversations with Kendall and during her confessionals earlier in the episode, Khloe revealed that the worst part about the whole affair was finding out with the ‘rest of the world’.
“I’m not sure that there is one thing that hurts more than the other. Everything is an act of betrayal, everything is a lie, everything is manipulation. It’s deceit.” she said.

“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 continued.
“If you cheated and admitted that, I would respect you a little more,” she told Kendall during their conversation. “You cheated, lied, and were hiding it for months thinking I would never know. Do you know what that tells me? There’s a dozen other [women] that just haven’t outed him.”
Despite this, however, Khloe admitted that she did not regret giving Thompson multiple chances to rectify his behaviour.
“I don’t feel guilty. I believe in second, third, fourth chances of everyone,” Khloe told Kim in another conversation. “I want someone to give me the same grace I’m giving them.”
She then confirmed that her and Thompson were over for good.
“There’s not much to talk about in my opinion. I’m just like, ‘This is a joke. It’s gross. It’s a joke. It’s embarrassing. It’s disgusting. We’re all over it. I’m like, ‘I didn’t buy tickets to this f**king circus, but somehow I’m watching all these clowns act out in front of me. I want a refund. Return to sender.” she said towards the end of the episode.
“I don’t want to be at this show.’ Somehow the clowns keep coming back in this f**king clown car. No matter what he says, nothing’s going to give me the answers I’m looking for or the closure.” she continued.
Despite this, she said, she felt ‘vindicated’ that she had tried hard enough.
“It’s such a disappointment. There’s no blurred lines. Nothing’s gray. I’m grateful for the clarity. I feel vindicated in a way, because I kept saying, ‘You guys, there’s something not right here,’ and everyone kept saying, ‘No, it’s ’cause you’re so damaged from before.'” she admitted.
