Khloe Kardashian discovers she has brain trauma from ex-Tristan Thompson’s cheating

Khloe Kardashian has discovered she’s suffered brain trauma after finding out about her ex-lover Tristan Thompson’s infidelity. 

The NBA star has put Khloe through the wringer during their time together, however the reality TV star now has the medical receipts to prove it.

In the latest episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians, Kendall Jenner urges her sister to have her brain scanned after finding out that Tristan was cheating on her - for a second time. 

"I'm actually so interested to see how your brain looks", Kendall tells Khloe. "Mostly after everything that's happened with Tristan."

The model proceeds to set up an appointment with Dr Daniel Amen for an MRI.

As seen in the episode, Dr Amen initially looks at Kendall's brain, to which he says she has a ‘beautiful brain' but notes some signs of trauma and anxiety. 

However, things take a turn as Khloe lays down for her scan, with Dr Amen observing that her brain has a significant amount of physical trauma. 

The 38-year-old explains that when she was a teenager, she went head-first through a car windshield, which would explain the damage. 

But, Dr Amen reveals that her scans have more to do with her mental state.

He says: "You worry and you can be anxious and you've had trauma. Do you see this diamond? This often will go with emotional trauma."

Following the results, Khloe and Dr Amen speak privately when he asks the Good America jeans founder why she ticked ‘past trauma’ before examining her brain.

Khloe explains that she had lost her father when she was 19 before adding: "My last ex-boyfriend, there was a lot of cheating while I was pregnant and then he just had a baby with somebody else while we were together that I found out.

"And all these things I find out about from social media myself so it's pretty traumatic." 

In December 2021, fitness model Maralee Nichols announced that she had given birth to Tristan's child, alleging the two got together during Tristan’s 30th birthday while he was still with Khloe.

Khloe was already due to welcome her second baby with the athlete via surrogacy as the child had been conceived in November 2021 - before the reality star found out about the paternity scandal.

After news broke, Tristan issued a public apology via an Instagram story, as per Seventeen.

He wrote in part: "Khloé, you don't deserve this," he said. "You don't deserve the heartache and humiliation I have caused you. 

“You don't deserve the way I have treated you over the years. My actions certainly have not lined up with the way I view you.

"I have the utmost respect and love for you. Regardless of what you may think."
