Khloé Kardashian opens up about a betrayal that drove her away from therapy, sparking outrage over ethics in mental health care.
Reality star Khloé Kardashian has revealed a jaw-dropping betrayal by a former therapist who allegedly sold her private confessions to a tabloid. In a candid interview with Bustle, Kardashian detailed how this violation shattered her trust and drove her to find solace in the gym instead of therapy.
“My weight loss journey started because I was getting a divorce,” Khloé explained. “I was going to therapy, and the next thing I knew, something private I told my therapist was on a tabloid. There’s no way it could have gotten out otherwise.”
The shocking breach left her feeling vulnerable and distrustful. “It was very jarring and sort of unbelievable,” she said. “I stopped going to therapy and started going to the gym. It became my safe place.”
The betrayal marked a turning point for Kardashian, who struggled with anxiety and personal challenges throughout her 30s. However, with encouragement from her sister Kim Kardashian, Khloé eventually returned to therapy at age 39. “Kim was really adamant. I was like, ‘I’ll do this for you.’ But then I realized I really needed it,” she said.
Now 40, Khloé describes this decade as transformative. “I’m in the best shape of my life. I’ve shed the energy of my 30s and started embracing new opportunities,” she shared. Her renewed focus on mental health, combined with fitness and career ventures, has brought her a sense of empowerment.
The revelation has sparked online debate, with fans expressing both outrage and support. “This is a horrifying breach of trust. Therapists need stricter accountability,” one social media user wrote. Others applauded her resilience, with one fan commenting, “Khloé’s story is a reminder of the strength it takes to rebuild trust.”
Despite criticism accusing the Kardashians of sensationalism, Khloé’s story has reignited important discussions about ethical practices in mental health care and the lasting effects of betrayal.
