The meeting appeared to have been called shortly after the family learned of the controversy on the show, and Khloe Kardashian was too furious to see anyone over Tristan Thompson, an entire segment which was fake on The Kardashians
In the show’s season finale this week, fans of The Kardashians finally got the plotline they’d been waiting for, with the family’s visceral reaction to Tristan Thompson’s paternity controversy airing in its entirety.
The Kardashians Created Fake Family Meeting Over Tristan Thompson And Khloe Kardashian And Him Cheating With Maralee Nichols
The repercussions was teased in last week’s episode, in which the stars were caught off guard by the news that Tristan had fathered a child with another woman behind Khloé Kardashian’s back.
However, the episode ended before viewers saw Khloé’s response, and this week’s show resumed up right where it left off, with Khloé crying into her sister Kim Kardashian’s phone.
Kim, her sister Kourtney Kardashian, their mother Kris Jenner, and her boyfriend Corey Gamble were all seen sitting around a table for a family meeting shortly afterward to address the current incident.
In a confessional, Kim states, “Every time there’s some significant family turmoil going on, we always hold a family meeting.” “And we all count on each other for support, which is exactly why we’re here.”
The group is unhappy at the meeting as Kris expresses her concern that Khloé is distancing herself. “I don’t want her to get to the point where she doesn’t have anyone to talk to because she thinks she needs to be strong,” Kris adds, her eyes welling up with tears.
Kourtney then inquires as to whether Khloé was present for the meeting, to which Kim responds that she does not believe she was. Kim gets a text a few moments later and informs the others, “Khloé just texted me that she’s not coming.”
However, internet sleuths have discovered proof that the family gathering was really taped on Jan. 31, nearly two months after the Tristan news emerged and weeks after the shoot.
Kourtney was the one who revealed the game, as she was seen in Malibu wearing the same clothes, haircut, and nail colour as she was in the scenario at the end of January.
Someone pointed out on a Reddit site that Khloé had seen her family numerous times between the paternity controversy breaking and the day the encounter was taped, by posting a link to the historic news item that contained the images.
“Based on Kourtney’s clothes, the family meeting was recorded January 31st,” they added. “Khloé found out end of November/beginning of December when the documents leaked, and she did attend Christmas with the fam, thus the meeting was staged.”
“Her nails are chrome in the episode,” another person wrote, confirming that Kourtney wasn’t just rewearing the same clothing. They are also chrome in these pap photos. I work as a nail technician, and I can assure you that chrome chips like crazy.”
While criticising the show for attempting to deceive viewers, several recognised that the length of time had gone explained why the family appeared “emotionless” in the moment.
“This explains why they were so dispassionate about the whole thing.” I wish they had stayed to a true timeline instead of jumbling it up to make a fantastic final episode. “Hulu, you can do better,” one user said. “The meeting was very lifeless,” said another. This was shocking news, and to have them confirm it was even more shocking.
“Then Kim mentioned the photoshoot to convince us it was December,” said another, referring to the fact that viewers were supposed to assume the scene was set in the immediate wake of the scandal.
One commenter speculated that when Kourtney slammed Tristan for not being honest, she was inadvertently hinting at the set-up. “It’s the lack of honesty that gets me,” she added during the meeting. “Let’s just be honest about who we are and what we’re doing,” she says.
