Amid news of Tristan Thompson having a child with a third baby mama, Keeping Up With the Kardashians fans are debating about why Kourtney Kardashian seems to receive more sympathy than Khloe Kardashian during cheating scandals. Khloe is the topic of discussion once again due to Tristan's cheating. Despite them being broken up since June, new reports reveal that Tristan cheated on Khloe during their short-lived reconciliation and possibly conceived a child. It was on his 30th birthday, the same day Khloe threw a party for him and shared a heartfelt post confirming their reconciliation when Tristan decided to go back to his hotel and hook up with someone else. Now nine months later and the NBA player is being sued for fathering the woman's child. But instead of feeling sorry for Khloe, many fans are bashing her for seemingly going easy on Tristan.
Long before Khloe and Tristan filled media headlines with the Sacramento Kings player's random sexcapades, Kourtney and Scott Disick stole the spotlight. The former couple parted ways in 2015 after nearly a decade of on-and-off relationship status. It was Scott's constant cheating and substance abuse issues that ultimately led to their split. Fans can remember one of the final straws when Scott got caught with Bella Banos during a family vacation to Costa Rica. Kim Kardashian confronted Scott and told him about himself and the rest is history.
Now that Khloe and Tristan are back in the headlines over Tristan's latest cheating scandal, fans are comparing the amount of sympathy Khloe and Kourtney have received during their heartbreaks. Reddit user u/Looploop33 started a thread asking fans why they seemingly "have zero sympathy for Khloe but it’s always poor Kourtney she tried so hard with Scott!" But other Redditors were quick to explain why Kourtney has easily received more support than Khloe due to the nature of Tristan's cheating as it compares to Scott. One person explained all of the "redeeming qualities" that Scott possesses including his fatherhood skills, and how close he is to the Kardashian family. Scott also shows a certain level of protection over Kourtney's sisters as if they are his own. He's also very involved with the KarJenners and has been for nearly two decades.
But when it comes to "tRuE's dAD", the Redditor quipped, Tristan "treats her like absolute garbage," they said. He's been known to sleep around and cheat on Khloe during many instances over the course of their time together. Tristan even cheated on Khloe while she was pregnant with their daughter True Thompson and was caught kissing Kylie Jenner's former BFF Jordyn Woods. The Redditor also noted that time Tristan "blocked her sister when she tells him he only apologized because he got caught." It appears Tristan's treatment of Khloe and his relationship with the KarJenner family is what makes fans look at him differently. Another noted that Scott has publicly battled with mental health issues that many people can identify with. When he has cleaned up his act, he has done so for the sake of his kids.
Scott's charming qualities have won him over with fans and led to Kourtney receiving more sympathy than Khloe during their cheating scandals. Now that Kourtney moved on with Travis Barker, no one is worried about her getting cheated on. But Khloe has a history of taking Tristan back despite how shady his cheating can be. She also appears to be showing patience with him despite him cheating on her on his birthday. With Khloe ignoring all the pleas to leave him alone, it makes people lose sympathy for her over time instead of feeling more sorry for her. If Khloe was to leave Tristan alone for good, Keeping Up With the Kardashians fans would fully support her decision. But as long as she shows solidarity with Tristan, she will continue getting bashed for it.
