Kourtney Kardashian ‘Can’t Fake It’ with Tristan Thompson and Grills Him for Repeatedly Cheating on Khloé

Kourtney Kardashian Barker still doesn’t fully trust Khloé Kardashian’s ex Tristan Thompson.

In the preview for next week’s episode The KardashiansTristan, 32, appears to be taking steps to mend his relationships with Kourtney and Kylie Jenner after repeatedly cheating on Khloé.

Before he can do that, Khloé, 39, warns her ex: “In this family, if you do something to one of us, it affects everyone.”

Tristan is seemingly up for the challenge, claiming, “I’m now in a place where I can admit the mistakes I’ve made.”

However, tensions seem to have risen when the NBA player finally sat down with Kylie, 26, and Kourtney, 44.

Kourtney Kardashian (and her daughter Penelope!) Tristan Thompson feels ‘so turned on’: ‘I can’t be around him’

“Tristan’s coming and I’m feeling a little nervous,” Kylie says, before Tristan finally appears and admits to the beauty: “Everybody’s affected differently, but I think you’re affected the most.”

In the confessional, Kourtney admits, “Tristan and I really don’t connect and I just can’t act.”

When the two finally meet, Kourtney asks Tristan if he feels anything after cheating on him. “Disgusted,” Tristan replies, prompting Kourtney to ask, “Then why are you doing it again?”

Kourtney’s feelings for her sister’s ex are not surprising The Kardashians fans. In last week’s episode, she shared her unfiltered thoughts on the NBA player — and why her daughter, Penelope Disick, isn’t a big fan either.

“I feel like she got it from me,” Kourtney explained after asking her daughter – who she shares with ex Scott Disick – if it was okay for Tristan to come with Khloé. “I told her on the first day of school that he pushed me like that… I know why, but I feel like we all reject it and we’re fine, and then I was so pushed and I was like, ‘I just can’t take it anymore.'”

The Poosh founder further elaborated in the confessional: “Tristan has made terrible decisions and choices with my sister. There are times when he turns me on so much that I can’t be around him, and then there are times when I just let it go because I just want us to be together and, you know, he’s the father of my niece and nephew.”

Although Khloé has a positive co-parenting relationship with Tristan, she told the cameras that she doesn’t blame her 11-year-old niece for feeling the way she does.

“What I am with Tristan has nothing to do with what I expect from my family members. If Penelope has feelings for Tristan, that’s rightfully so. And good for you, girl,” she said. “I want Penelope to have those feelings and I don’t want to talk her out of them because I don’t want this behavior to be something I validate or justify. I want her to know how she feels is the right way to feel. We shouldn’t accept that someone treats us like this us.”

Khloé Kardashian threatens to ‘castrate’ her daughter’s future boyfriends for Tristan-style cheating

Khloé and Tristan began dating on and off in 2016. He cheated on her multiple times, including with Kylie’s best friend Jordyn Woods just days before their daughter True was born while he and Khloé were still together.

Years later, they gave their romance another shot, but later in December 2021, it was revealed that Tristan fathered a child with Maralee Nichols. At the time, Khloé and Tristan were secretly expecting their second child via surrogate.

Khloé officially ended their relationship months before the birth of their son Tatum in August 2022 and has since repeatedly stated that she has no intention of getting back together.
