While the episodes included lots of dramz, including the collective internet’s speculations about Khloe’s relationship with her baby daddy Tristan Thompson, and Scott Disick’s comment that got the people going. But that’s not what we’re here for, at the top of the episode Kimmy slightly teases that all is not so right, but forgoes talking about any of it on camera, including Ye’s consideration to run for the presidency, despite family friend Malika Haqq’s multiple failed attempts. Simply noting, "I try to just support him, tune it out. I was like, you know… I mean, I don't want to talk about it on camera."
However, in the comfort of the confessional Kim did end up opening up a baby bit, acknowledging that there is dramz between her and Kanye, as it was unavoidable to deny do to her significant other making headlines. “It's no secret that everyone sees things in the media about my life with Kanye," she shared. ”But I've always been really respectful in not talking about issues that Kanye and I have. I mean, you guys clearly see them on Twitter. So, I'm still gonna choose to not really talk about it here.”
Also heard in the confessional, Khloe spoke of her sister, saying she "handles things really, really private.” Noting that “she's someone who's like, calm and cool and we all respect that,” adding, “but I know, because she's not talking about it, even to us privately, that it's really affecting her.”
Okayyyy, but like it’s a reality show, sooo it’s more than likely gonna get talked about. And just as we guessed, yup during a family lunch, Kim takes a private phone call outside, leaving mom Kris Jenner and sister Kourtney Kardashian concerned. "I'm happy to come," Kim is heard saying to someone on the other line. "I mean, I can get on a plane tonight. When I talk to him, he says no.”
Feeling comfortable enough once again Kim revealed to the KUWTK camera that Kanye was in Wyoming and "posting a lot of things on social media.” Adding, "so, that is a little bit frustrating.” Per Kim, she was trying to separate herself "from what's going on at home and what's going on on the internet.”
Of course momager Kris couldn’t just sit idly by and came to to the rescue encouraging her two other Kardashian daughters to help "lighten" the situation for Kim. So in true KUWTK fashion, they head out to their summer Malibu villa, with a camera crew and private chefs in tow, to get tipsy and forget about their problems, while Kendall babysits their kids. (Oh because side note, Kenny has baby fever and they’re trying to convince her otherwise).
Anyway, back to the regularly scheduled programming, with the intention to let loose and focus on some sisterly bonding and fun, while relaxing by the fire, Kourtney shared that she actually had recently had a talk with Kanye about the Twitter drama, saying, ”he called me the other morning, I meant to tell you. He said, 'It would be nice to be able to say things.’” She noted that she agreed with him, encouraging to “say what you want to say. Maybe it'll start people thinking a certain way or getting a thought in their head,” but asked “did you have to say those tweets publicly?”
According to Kourtney, Kanye acknowledged that it would've been better to share those thoughts "one on one.” And made sure to note that the conversation “wasn't an argument. We were just clearing it up, I guess.” Feeling a shift in mood, Khloe suggested the conversation shift to more cheerful topics and a bit more drinking, to which Kim and Kourt obliged.
The next morning, Khloe let Kim know that the fam was there for her to lean on, saying, “I do just want you to know, it's never a problem, you're never a burden on me or your sisters or your mom. Like, none of us feel that way at all. We want you to know that we're here for you and we love you and whatever you choose to do is what you choose to do.” Kim obvi appreciated the support, but said she had to "figure things out on my own.”
And with an effortless cut to the confessional Kim concluded her thoughts about her “life with Kanye,” saying “I got this. Like, I'm dealing with it on my own. It's gonna be ok.” Who knows, maybe it will be, Cardi took Offset back, Bey took JAY back, maybe Kim and Kanye are also written in the stars. Only way to find out is to tune in each week. So see you next Friday, same time, same place.
