In a whirlwind of personal and professional challenges, Kim Kardashian is navigating through a tumultuous period marked by her high-profile divorce, the completion of her law school studies, and her testimony in the trial of the burglars who robbed her in Paris. Recent revelations from the preview of Season 7 of Hulu’s hit series, The Kardashians, have unveiled even more intense circumstances that Kardashian has been facing.
During the season preview, Kardashian disclosed that she experienced what she referred to as “a little aneurysm” in the months leading up to the show's release. The dramatic first episode, which premiered on Thursday, features the entrepreneur and reality star undergoing an MRI scan, her head appearing bandaged. In a poignant voiceover, she expresses to her family, “There was like a little aneurysm,” which prompts a concerned reaction from her sister Kourtney, who responds with “Whoa.”
According to the American Heart Association, an aneurysm occurs when a portion of an artery wall weakens, causing it to balloon or widen abnormally, which can be a serious health concern. Kardashian’s candid revelation about her health struggles highlights the immense stress she has been under, exacerbated by her ongoing legal and personal battles.
In addition to her health issues, Kardashian opened up about the complexities of co-parenting with her ex-husband, Kanye West, who now goes by Ye. During the episode, she reflects, “People think I have the luxury of walking away,” emphasizing the reality that “My ex will be in my life no matter what.” The couple shares four children: North, 12, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6, and Kardashian's commitment to protecting her kids is evident as she expresses concern over their well-being amidst her ex-husband’s public controversies.
Aside from her personal challenges, Kardashian is also seen intensely studying for a law exam in the new episode, revealing her dedication to her legal studies. She expresses vulnerability, becoming emotional as she contemplates her performance on the exam. Furthermore, Kardashian is stepping into the acting world, starring as a lawyer in the upcoming Hulu series All’s Fair, alongside notable actresses Niecy Nash, Glenn Close, and Sarah Paulson. This new role marks a significant expansion of her career beyond reality TV.
During a break from filming, Kardashian candidly mentioned, “I haven’t had psoriasis since I’ve gotten a divorce and it just started coming back,” indicating the impact of her emotional state on her physical health. When asked about her ex-husband’s behavior, she expressed, “My poor kids,” highlighting her protective instincts as a mother. “Everyone around can handle it but like…protect my babies,” she added, showcasing her deep concern for her children amid the chaos surrounding their family life.
As Kim Kardashian continues to juggle her personal struggles, legal aspirations, and acting career, her journey is emblematic of the challenges many face in the public eye. With a focus on her health and family, viewers can expect an emotionally charged season of The Kardashians that not only entertains but also sheds light on the realities behind the glamorous facade.
