Khloe Kardashian developed brain trauma following Tristan Thompson's cheating

Khloe Kardashian went for a medical exam after learning about Tristan Thompson's latest cheating scandal, only to be told that she had suffered brain trauma.

The reality star is going through a particularly tough time in the second season of The Kardashians, after finding out that her partner Tristan had cheated on her once again, and fathered another woman's child, all while she and Tristan were planning to have their second baby via surrogate.

In the latest episode of the family's Hulu series, Khloe's sister Kendall Jenner suggested they go to get her brain scanned to see how it's responding to the shocking news of Tristan's infidelity. And the results speak for themselves:

"I'm actually so interested to see how your brain looks", the model tells Khloe. "Mostly after everything that's happened with Tristan."

After Kendall finally convinces Khloe to go for an MRI scan, Dr Daniel Amen sits the two sisters down to talk them through the results.

Pointing to certain aspects of the scan, Dr Amen is able to show Khloe the undeniable signs of brain trauma.

But, it's not like this news will come as a surprise to any Kardashian fans - there's no denying that what Khloe has gone through in the last year was traumatic.

In December 2021, fitness model Maralee Nichols announced that she had given birth to Tristan's child, alleging they had gotten together during his birthday celebrations back in March.

One month later, the basketball player confessed he was the father, issuing a public apology to Khloe for his infidelity.

It wasn't until this summer that news broke Khloe was due to welcome her second child with Tristan via surrogate, having conceived the child back in November 2021 - before any word of Tristan's paternity scandal had got out.

In the first episode of the new season of The Kardashians, Khloé, 38, can be seen deliberating whether to allow Tristan, 31, into the hospital room as their surrogate goes into labour.

"I’ve been on the fence about letting Tristan come to the hospital or not, but Tristan wants to be here so I just figured, why not let him come? I’ll never get this moment back," she told cameras.

However, we now know that Khloe did, in the end, decide to invite Tristan to visit their baby son in the hospital after his birth.

Elsewhere in the new episode, Khloe revealed to her sisters that Tristan had actually proposed to her back in December 2020, but she had kept the engagement a secret because she wanted to wait until their relationship was healthy and steady before going public.

The second season of The Kardashians drops on Disney+ on 22 September with a new episode every Thursday.
