Kim Kardashian talked about Khloe’s relationship drama to deflect from Kanye

Kim and Kourtney Kardashian do lunch with mother Kris Jenner at Carousel

Kim Kardashian has been doing the most to distract people away from her husband’s break from reality/sanity. She’s tried tweeting out a half-baked defense of his political opinions. She’s tried posting half-naked or completely naked photos on her social media. She’s tried to make everything light and fun with Chrissy Teigen’s help as they banter back and forth on Twitter. None of it is working. The jig is up, Kimmy. Your husband is a Deplorable. So Kim is trying one last thing: a pretaped interview with Ellen DeGeneres where Kim talks about Khloe Kardashian’s baby-daddy drama with Tristan Thompson. It feels like a million years ago, but Khloe is still living in Cleveland with baby girl True Thompson even though Tristan cheated on Khloe relentlessly throughout her pregnancy (and he’s likely still cheating on her now). Here’s the short clip, courtesy of E! News:

Kim says what happened with Khloe and Tristan is “I don’t even know how to describe it besides… ‘it’s just so f–ked up.’” But perhaps the real news is that Kim seems to have a completely different f–king face in this Ellen clip. As for what’s going through Khloe’s head… sources still say that Khloe hasn’t completely made up her mind one way or the other, and that she has made no decisions.

Does anyone else think it’s kind of gross and tacky that Kim basically used arguably one of the worst moments in her sister’s life to distract from Kanye’s MAGA-ness?

    Khloe owes her career, her money and her fame to Kim so I think it’s fine for Kim to talk about it. Khloe might have agreed to it since it is all about protecting the “brand”.

    • KeWest says:

      Sad but true

      • MelG. says:

        What brand? The brand that had Kim pregnant with one man’s baby while being married to another man? The brand that had Khloe taking a basketball player away from his pregnant girlfriend and flauting the pictures all over Instagram? The brand that had a rapper dating a 14 year old? The brand that has a 20 year old giving birth this past February and questions are lingering about the baby’s daddy? The brand that has questions lingering about the paternity of Khloe herself? The brand that has the oldest sister speaking before Congress and every other word out of her mouth is like? The brand that had Kim come on Instagram in darker makeup to appeal to black people? The brand that had her showing her freshly shaved snatch all over Instagram to promote her perfume line? The brand that had her posing nude on the internet after just receiving a newborn baby?

      • Dee says:

        Uhhhh yep, exactly that band LOL

    • heh says:

      Ellen asked her a question. She answered. Its not that deep.

  2. Snowflake says:

    I don’t buy that khloe just found out about his cheating

    • passerby says:

      Agreed! I think she’s known the whole time. I think he wants out of the relationship and she wants in. Methinks this is triple embarrassing for her, knowing how/when they got together. She needs to own the L, get back to lala land and get a new, *available…* single* man. Or she can just chill out for a min and raise/co-parent their baby.

  3. Shambles says:

    It says a lot about Ellen that she’s willing to be involved in this sh!t show

    • Mariposa says:

      A lot in a bad way or a good way?! (Genuine question). I gave it the side-eye…

    • SM says:

      @shambles, yes! This is what I came here to say! We all knkw the KKlan have no morals and sold their souls to the devil a long time ago (judging by the looks of it, they sold their original bodies too) so the only person upon whom this refcects badly is Ellen. I found her problematic for a long time, like her need to surrownd her self with celebrity friends on the show and act as their promo tour train ( not that it’s so uncommon in showbiz, but her’s is the level that enduces the permanent eye roll) but this is the whole new level of acting as enabler for her friends.

      • KBB says:

        Doesn’t Ellen vacation with Kris? Or they’ve got mutual friends. They were photographed together on a yacht when Kendall was pretending to date Harry Styles.

        ETA: Whoops, this comment was for Shambles

      • CaliBlue says:

        Wow, glad I’m not the only one wondering how low will ELLEN go? What is “talk-worthy” about trashy reality stars and their self-perpetuating drama?

      • Argonaut says:

        @CaliBlue have you never seen her show? This is typical Ellen. i don’t know why anyone would expect anything different from her.

    • Jordan says:

      Oh girl, Ellen is one of their biggest fans aside from JLaw.

    • Carrie1 says:

      Yep. Her veneer is slipping maybe?
      I’ve never cared particularly for Ellen so this is validating. Same for Ks, all of them.

    • MelG. says:

      Ellen gets excited when she sees them. Porscha better watch out.

  4. Mariposa says:

    Is that Kim in the party of five photo? I thought it was Kourtney…but then the caption didn’t make sense! These women are all morphing into each other.

    • indefatigable says:

      ‘Wait. Which one am I?’

    • jwoolman says:

      And Nori is doing the Zoolander duck face — the child is doomed!

      • Aurelia says:

        Are they sharing a private plane? There are other passangers in the back. How down market!

    • raincoaster says:

      It’s Kim wearing less makeup than usual, and she forgot her spider eyelashes.

      • BrandyAlexander says:

        She actually looks really young and pretty without all that. She should go for this look more often.

    • Jag says:

      lol You should watch the PhotoshopSurgeon video on a “sister” that he creates by taking some of all of them. They really do look alike!

  5. Nancy says:

    Ellen should have asked her how Khloe and the family felt about her predecessor, Jordan Craig, Kim is worried about when True grows up. Will she read how her mother got involved with her half-brother’s father before he was even born? If she wants to talk about how everything is so effed up, involve the whole True story, not just the part that victimizes poor Khloe alone.

  6. lisa says:

    is it cheating if they broke up with you and you won’t go away?

  7. RBC says:

    My nice comment of the day: Kim and Kanye have such beautiful children. Plus Kanye has a great smile! Totally different look about him

    Snark Comment: That grey wig or dye job looks awful on Kim. Plus the “Battlestar Galactica/Darth Vader sunglasses she is wearing make her look like she is going to a Halloween party. Why spend all that money to fix her face and then cover half of it with sunglasses?

    • Nancy says:

      Agree Ye has a nice smile and Northwest is a trip. She’s comical and loves to make faces, which makes me happy there is something normal in that family. But, I do like the shades, I’d rock em, wasted on her!!

    • raincoaster says:

      Because it takes 45 minutes to do her eyes?

    • Lama Bean says:

      And Kim’s face is a completely different shade than the rest of her body in that top photo. Her face is orange and her body is not. I thought they were makeup experts?

  8. Nicole says:

    Well we all know kris approved the talking points here. No one will forget about the Kanye stuff esp when his entire fan base is minorities. Sunk that ship for sure but we all know kris is trying her hardest to right it.
    Case in point-there are now initial gossip rumors that Kendall is pregnant. I don’t really believe that but could be a gossip feeler thrown out by the Ks to distract with another possible baby. Right up their alley.

    • Shannon says:

      I wouldn’t say his entire fan base is minorities. I’m white, and I used to love him. Not crazy about his recent stuff, but I still consider myself a fan. But a disappointed fan now.

    • Shannon says:

    • Argonaut says:

      have you ever been to a kanye show? his fan base is NOT all minorities. plenty of white folks there.

    • Nicole says:

      Been to plenty of Kanye shows my goodness. His Fan base is largely minorities. Those are the people buying his shoes, listening to his mixtapes, etc. there’s always white suburban people that listen to rap but the contingent is still largely made up of minorities. Hence the damage control.

  9. Louise says:

    She looks nice in that instagram pic “Party of 5” without all the slap.

  10. grabbyhands says:

    Ivanka must be so proud that Kim is pulling a classic from her own playbook- someone in your family has done something awful – quick! Post a picture of your kids!!!

    I’m still not convinced a full 45 conversion isn’t coming for the whole family. That’s a connection both of those bloodsuckers would love.

  11. scottiegal says:

    Part of me thinks Kanye is trolling us. Have you heard his new song? He is either messing with us or he has completely snapped.

    • Swack says:

      The DM has an article on how his fans are slamming him for doing this as publicity for his new album. Wouldn’t surprise me if is was all for publicity.

      • me says:

        I definitely think it’s for publicity. He only seems to have these mental breakdowns when he has a clothing line or album to promote.

    • jwoolman says:

      The one that sounds like it’s meant to accompany cleaning out the kitty litter box?

  12. Redgrl says:

    My first thought was that he’s off his meds. No snark – just sad for him & especially the kids if I’m right…

  13. Jordan says:

    It was a publicity stunt for his new album.

    • me says:

      His new album cover is a picture of the doctor that performed his mom’s plastic surgery. Take that for what it is.

      • Nancy says:

        Wow. She had elective plastic surgery and ten years later he’s putting the doctor out there. Gave me the goosies. One would think after what happened to his mom, he would discourage his wife from plastic surgery….lol. right. Is he blaming the doctor? Angry at his mom. I’d like to know the story on this, the true story.

      • Nancy says:

        Ok. I read what he said about the cover. He does blame himself for her death. Said if he hadn’t come to LA, she would still be alive today. This baffles me because of his wife and her families nonstop surgery. Further, God, it’s been ten years. He does need counseling. He may have paid for it, but she chose to have the surgery. Ten years, let it go Kanye, or it will kill you too.

      • me says:

        He said it’s about “forgiveness” and that he wanted to reach out to the doctor and “talk to him”. I don’t know, but that’s what’s being reported. I wonder if he needed the guy’s permission to put his pic on the album cover though?

      • Nancy says:

        The doctor’s pic looks like a mug shot. This is no act of forgiveness. Yes, he would need to have the likeness okayed by the doctor. Wonder how or how much that cost. She had heart disease and other issues, but there have always been rumors about the doctor. Had he been guilty of malpractice, he would have been charged long ago. Kanye is a grown man and needs to deal with the fact he didn’t kill his mother, the doctor didn’t kill her, her body wasn’t strong enough. Sad

      • A says:

        @Nancy, you bring up a good point about Kanye, Kim and his mom. Someone I know once pointed out that Kanye probably has a troubled relationship with the women in his life, all of them. Not troubled in that he doesn’t like them, but troubled in that he has a lot of difficulty thinking of women without objectifying them in various ways.

      • Annabelle Bronstein says:

        @A, why are you infantalizing Kanye so much that you are giving him a pass for misogyny? He’s a 40 year old man, he gets no pass for objectifying women.

        That said, I can understand and empathasize with his depression and guilt. But neither of those things will ever justify subjugating someone else.

  14. Jenni says:

    It’s funny because when Kylie was pretend they would always say it wasn’t their place to talk about each other… unless of course your husband is causing negative attention to your brand. I usually like Ellen but I don’t understand why she gives this family so much airtime.

  15. Froggy says:

    I’m sure Gross & tacky is on The Kardashian family crest

  16. Mylene - Montreal says:

    i guest i’m more parano .. but North for me is doing a duckface like her mother and all this stupid family do all the time. This is how she infliuence her daughter on daily basis and its so bad !!!!

  17. MousieBrown says:

    I think she’s also talking about Khloe because no one else is.

    With the new prince and other news, everyone’s forgotten about Khloe in Cleveland.

  18. Shannon says:

    I think he’s trolling us. He also tweeted a picture of Emma Gonzales calling her his hero. And the deplorables fkn lost it. Pretty hilarious, but I’m still irritated with him.

    • AnneC says:

      He tweeted that picture because his PR people told him that tweeting out support for an unhinged racist sexual assaulter pro NRA nutjob probably wasn’t real good for his brand.

      • Silent Star says:

        But he doesn’t listen to anybody, and didn’t he fire all his people? Nah, this is all random, and the only reason we think there’s any underlying sense to it is because it’s human nature to attempt to turn disorder into order.

    • Jayna says:

      He hasn’t denounced his love for Trump, his dragon brother. Just because he’s using this for publicity doesn’t mean he doesn’t believe it. He does. He doesn’t get some pat on the back because he tweeted about Emma. And Emma wasn’t having it. She shaded him slyly, tweeting who her hero was, James Shaw, a black man that stopped a killer, and who Trump, Kanye’s dragon brother, hasn’t even publicly acknowledged as a hero because — well, we all know why. If it had been reversed, a black shooter and white guy who stopped him, Trump would have been tweeting right away.

      “Irritated” is too mild of a description for how I feel.. Kanye has shown his admiration for a racist and misogynistic president, who has and is doing damage to this country.

      • lightpurple says:

        Emma put him in his place. You can’t say you support Trump and all that he stands for and then try to use her for publicity.

  19. CK3 says:

    Kim is doing what she always does. She’s showing her ass. And while I’ll defend her right to shove an unwanted nude pic on the internet, I will not defend this classless dodge at the expense of her sister.

  20. Huh! The whole K-Clan is totally insane…

  21. ellie says:

    Everything this family does is fake so I take so little of it seriously. When they had the “Paris gun hold up” I really knew anything is up for faking.

  22. jwoolman says:

    The K Klan apparently is infuriated with Khloe for staying in Cleveland. But maybe we should take Khloe’s rationale at face value. She says she wants her child’s father to have a chance to bond with his daughter. Maybe that really is what it is about. Not some futile exercise in forgive and forget, but just the realization that this is a time when bonds may be forged and that can’t happen if she runs off to California.

    He’s giving her the full use of his house and apparently is visiting to see the baby. Maybe Khloe doesn’t feel she has to go home just yet, for the sake of her daughter and not because she thinks it’s a good idea to get back with the guy. She knows what he is and how likely he is to continue being what he is.
    But they will always be tied together by that little girl. They need to be friends and he needs to feel attached to the baby.

  24. LittlefishMom says:

    I don’t think that’s what she’s doing.

  25. Jen says:

    During the election cycle, Kim indicated at one point she didn’t know if she would even vote. After the immediate backlash she was suddenly all in with Hillary. Let’s not pretend she’s horrified by Kanye.

    • Renee says:

      @ Jen, Thank you for pointing this out. Kim’s thoughts are probably in line with Kanye’s. She doesn’t want to piss off people like Ellen or her followers. Kanye got too honest for her.

  26. Anastasia says:

    She should NEVER wear white pants. They make her diaper butt look even MORE like a diaper butt!
