From an unfaithful father to a highly publicized porce, Khloé Kardashian has been through a lot in her life. Despite enduring several public scandals, the reality star reveals on this week’s episode of The Kardashians Why doesn’t he go to therapy?
According to Kardashian, she has been to “three or four” different therapists, but none of them have convinced her.
“I had to see a therapist for Tatum’s pregnancy,” Kardashian tells best friend Malika Haqq, referring to her son, Tatum, whom she gave birth to via surrogate in 2022. “But I never connected. She just listens. I’m like, ‘I just told you my whole life story. Every dark, demonic thing. And you’re just going to be like, ‘Okay.’”
Kardashian insists she “never received any guidance” from a professional and that a therapist once told her she “didn’t need therapy” because she processes things “so naturally.”
“It was a weird encounter,” she says. “I said, ‘My husband… I found him in a drug den in a motel.’ I was saying something. But she was like, ‘So, are you mad?’ I was like, ‘No. I was super calm.’ She was like, ‘Are you mad?’ I was like, ‘No.’ She was like, ‘I don’t think you really need me.’”
She continues: “I was like, ‘What? Are you firing me?’ I couldn’t really understand. Are you breaking up with me? I didn’t understand what was going on, but I think a therapist broke up with me.”
Kardashian was, of course, referring to her marriage to former NBA player Lamar Odom. The two tied the knot in 2009 on an episode of E! keeping up with the Kardashians In the midst of their whirlwind romance, she filed for porce in 2013 after receiving allegations of infidelity.
