It's only halfway through the year, and 2021 is already gearing up to be one of the worst for the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star Khloe Kardashian. She has faced a number of scandals in recent months that have overshadowed her plans of welcoming another child into the world. Between her photo leak controversy and recent breakup with Tristan Thompson, Khloe might be ready for this year to be over with.
The Good American founder kicked off the year in good spirits after reconciling with Tristan in 2020 and spending the holidays together in Boston following the NBA player's trade to the Celtics. The two rekindled their romance after more than a year apart following Tristan's cheating scandal with Kylie Jenner's former BFF Jordyn Woods. He worked hard to get back into Khloe's good graces during quarantine, and it worked. Despite all the backlash she received from her fans, Khloe appeared happy to have Tristan back in her life. But the energy began to shift by early April when Khloe was caught attempting to hide a leaked unedited bikini pic.
One fan page revealed a DM they received from Khloe's publicist demanding that the "unauthorized" photo be removed. Many of her followers accused the Revenge Body host of being a hypocrite towards her body positivity brand. In response, Khloe took to Instagram to prove "this isn’t photoshopped." She shared a lengthy caption over a slide of clips from her brief Instagram Live session where she lifted up her sweatshirt to show off her flat abs and a series of photos showing off her face and body. While showing off her 'unretouched and unfiltered' body, Khloe admitted to wanting the leaked photo removed since it wasn't "flattering." Khloe also admitted to having "struggled with body image" her entire life due to constantly being compared to her siblings.
Her transparency helped her win fans back over while there were some, like actress Jameela Jamil, who wanted Khloe to admit to photoshopping images and having surgeries done. Having managed her way out of the photo leak scandal, Khloe was quickly hit with allegations from Instagram model Sydney Chase who claimed to have hooked up with Tristan in recent months. While Tristan denied the allegations, Sydney read off alleged text message convos where Tristan allegedly claimed that Khloe wasn't his type. He responded by issuing out a cease-and-desist, but Sydney followed up by hiring women's rights attorney Gloria Allred. Elsewhere, Khloe and Tristan were both getting harassed online by Kimberly Alexander, a woman who recently lost a lawsuit for falsely claiming Tristan as the father of her son.
The final season of KUWTK followed Khloe and Tristan's journey to try and have another child. They considered surrogacy as an option, but Khloe grew reluctant after learning of all the risks involved. During the reunion show, Khloe spoke highly about her co-parenting relationship with Tristan while leaving out the fact that they might've been broken up at the time.
Shortly after the reunion aired, there were reports of Tristan attending a party where he allegedly entered into a private room with three women before reappearing minutes later, looking "disheveled." After the reports surfaced, many claimed Khloe and Tristan were broken up and had been for weeks. She recently shared how she celebrated her 37th birthday with her family and a glass of champagne. Khloe might be ready for a new year already.
