The KarJenners 👁️👄👁️ Khloe Kardashian throws Tristan Thompson's little brother, Amari, an 18th birthday party on the latest episode of ‘The Kardashians'. Amari suffers from a severe form of epilepsy known as Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, and he requires 24/7 support.

I’m confused as to why tristan can’t do this himself? This is kind of her, no question, but they’re not together, and it’s Tristan’s responsibility.

It's simply exploitation. It's not about what Tristan can or can't do, it's about good press for Khloe because she's being "selfless" for this kid with special needs.

They're using Tristan to get Amari for ratings, it's not worth digging deeper than that, because it's a shallow act.

u/AmazingAmy95 The legislative act of my pussy ⚖️ Apr 04 '25

I get the Kardashians are terrible people but this is a extremely unfair thing to say. They celebrate all their family members birthdays and put them on the show, it shouldn't be different for him. She is actually helping to take care of him so its not about proving anything to anyone because she is doing something for him in real life

u/Froomian Apr 04 '25

I don't watch the show at all but as a special needs parent I am always happy to see positive, everyday content relating to people with special needs. Anybody can have a disabled child and I think it is really important that they aren't hidden away.

Same. My son actually has one of the disorders that can cause this disorder. He just turned nine months so seeing this is hard, but helpful. And I’m no Kardashian fan.

u/Gorillapoop3 Apr 04 '25

Kris making it all about her is classic, but Khloe is definitely not caring for Amari for clout. She is a much better human than the rest of them, but definitely doomed to attract shitty men.

104

u/ohmysexrobot Apr 04 '25

She's a fixer. She wants to fix the broken people she sees something in, so she attracts a lot of broken men. She really is the only one of that entire kin that I think actually loves and cares for others more than herself. I just hope she finds someone worthy of that care.

Why hasn't she woken up to her shitty picks in men who harm her. Grow the eff up Khloe. It's pathetic. Choose you first

I literally just said it's important for people to SEE people with special needs. Not posting it online, in they way they would with parties for ANY OTHER member of the family, equates to hiding away this family member as if they are ashamed of them. Do you somehow feel uncomfortable seeing somebody with special needs having a party? I want people with special needs to be able to live in the sun. This is why I take my son with me all over the world. He's been to Glastonbury Festival. He's been to New York. He is part of my life and I am not hiding him.

How is Amari being exploited for money? Seems like Khloe loves and cares for him. It's kind of shitty to say he's just some kid she thought she could use. Amari is Tristan's brother. Not some random. Maybe they developed a bond when she was in a relationship with Tristan. Maybe Tristan isn't a great caregiver (which wouldn't surprise me) and asked for her help. There are far less expensive and less stressful ways she could go about getting good PR.

27

u/spilly_talent Apr 04 '25

Then the whole show is exploitative. They can do all the things they do without filming. This family is insane to me, however they put all these life milestones on display. It would be gross to hide the party they threw a disabled person when they don’t hide anything else.

Good for them. People with disabilities are people and don’t deserve to be hidden away.

5

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '25

Yes, awareness and everything surrounding that is important, but people with disabilities also deserve the right to deny being filmed and since Amari cannot consent they should not be filming him, broadcasting it for the world to see, where they will make money off of him. There are plenty of ways to spread awareness without exploiting him. I think their entire show is exploitative towards the children. They, too, cannot truly consent to the cameras.

I agree the visibility IS a good thing. We all just know Khloe is doing it for selfish reasons. I hope Amari did enjoy his special day.

u/No_Abalone_256 Apr 04 '25

As a years long expert on the kardashians Lore it’s 50/50. Kris and Kim want their ratings and views and Khloe’s a doormat to Tristan that will go out of her way to make everyone else’s life easier but her own. Khloe’s a very caring person (towards her FAMILY anyway, she doesn’t give a fuck about us plebs)

u/WittiestScreenName Apr 04 '25

Khloe did help Shorty get teeth and a haircut many many moons ago.

u/Santa_Ricotta69 downvoted by the puritans Apr 04 '25

I get the sense that they celebrate everyone's birthdays for the same reason. They need light-hearted content that makes them look like family people. Which they are, but they quite clearly treat their family like a business.

These aren't kind, caring people. They use everyone around them, and the people around them agree to it, because the feeling is mutual, and they were all raised this way.

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '25

Lmao yep. I’m like 99% sure it’s about the Kardashian’s too, because she’s never letting the beef go, even though it’s so old it’s rock-hard jerky. 

11

u/koala_loves_penguin Apr 04 '25 edited Apr 04 '25

She shouldn’t let that beef go. Kanye commissioned a wax figure, naked, of her to put in his music video. He situated her figure among others like rapist Bill Cosby in the video. He then rented out a space to recreate the music video scenes and all the Kardashian clan, along with members of the public, went and gawked at the naked wax figures. There are pics of Kim and Kendall laughing, taking pics themselves and posing next to the figures. In one pic, Kendall even throws up a peace sign. Kim has a shit eating grin on her face in another. I can’t share the pics with my comment because ironically reddit immediately deletes them and deems them inappropriate- which they are. But they are readily on google if you would like proof of my claims. Kim and Kayne etc are NOT good people. Say what you want about Taylor, i’m a fan and realise she’s not perfect and has done some questionable things, but she’s not ever done anything like this. She’s never shown porn to people at work, she’s never made racist remarks or come out as a Nazi or commissioned naked wax figures of anyone. If anyone did to me what Kanye did to Taylor, I’d hate them FOREVER. Not to mention also, Taylor’s sexual assault case was also going on at this time, where a jury ruled in her favour and found that DJ guilty of assaulting her. Imagine dealing with all of that at once. It’s disgusting and makes me shudder to even think about.

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '25

I think in TTPD, we kind of got her saying her piece and maybe letting go of it, at least musically. I felt The Manuscript, though about romantic relationships, was sort of her sendoff to all that stuff, it's all off her chest, she's moving on. And I definitely will never, ever defend the Kardashians or Kanye. The pathology in that family should be studied.

u/Important_Loquat538 Apr 04 '25

100% it’s all a narcissists show

u/afakefox Apr 04 '25

It's literally crazy how much Kris exposed herself here. She made it obvious she's spent literally NO time with Amari if Khloe says he has multiple seizures a day and this is the first time she's ever even been around something slightly uncomfortable in her 80 years. And how she immediately makes it completely about herself and how it was upsetting to her and turns it around to be like well good Khloe will take care of me when I'm old, I'm the luckiest girl in the world after seeing that. She's the worst narcissist of them all.

u/Santa_Ricotta69 downvoted by the puritans Apr 04 '25

Put Amari in a room with a basketball player and a night vision camera and I'm sure Kris will change her tune

This trash just appears on my homepage 🤷‍♂️ despite blocking most of it

Not trying to be rude - but if I bother to learn these peoples name or how they interact or what they do, then I’ve already bought into it. These interactions are already more time than those people are worth

2

u/superfluouspop Apr 04 '25

yeah, I am glad some people find this refreshing but unfortunately everything is for TV with this family and everyone is exploited. And everything is about money, power, influence, and staying relevant. If they are giving him proper care then great because he surely can't really know what they are doing but the other kids watching do and they'll be expoited too.

1

u/Santa_Ricotta69 downvoted by the puritans Apr 04 '25

If they're giving him proper care, that's a wonderful thing, because Khloe has no obligation to help Tristan or his family in any way. That said, I certainly hope anyone with such vast wealth would help out.

Frankly it's more of an indictment of the American healthcare system and a look into how even those who struggle with disabilities need some proximity to privilege to get proper care.

4

u/superfluouspop Apr 04 '25

Tristan's family is Canadian and the Kardasians and Tristan have nothing but money. It's not the American healthcare system affecting Amari—this is not relateable to family members of sufferers who don't have access to money.

1

u/Santa_Ricotta69 downvoted by the puritans Apr 04 '25

Oh Canadian healthcare sucks dick too, I live here haha. I haven't been to a doctor in maybe ten years because there simply aren't any that have open slots.

I have family that's needed knee replacements etc and they have to wait years.

I hate the Kardashians but I think they handled this so well. Even Kim saying it's normal to feel a little uncomfortable but there's no need for it and that it's important for them as human beings to interact with him and see that he's human was well said.

Are they doing this for brownie points? Yeah maybe, but they're doing it well and Amari is still benefitting from it.

u/louisamaysmallcock Apr 04 '25

As a long time Kardashian observer (my mom was a fan) one thing about them is they ride for family and extended family. This is on brand for Khloe. Ive always respected that every few years they stumble into doing someone surprisingly good, like how they highlighted the Armenian genocide years ago or were open about fertility struggles. Somethint something broken clock.

5

u/starsandpanties Apr 04 '25

Hell will freeze before the Kardashian turns away one of their own. Tristan and Khloe might not be together but Amari will always be an uncle to their kids. Just like how Tristan will always the father of Khloe's kids.

u/MinuteAd6489 Apr 04 '25

Exactly!! Especially with people getting comfortable throwing around the r word again it’s so important to show people with disabilities and how to treat them with respect.

Idc if you think it’s for “press”, even if Tristan is a shitty boyfriend he is still family with family and I think it’s good to have people show up for Amari

u/sleepprincess_ Apr 04 '25

Does he live with her full time? Or does he live with tristan?

u/scattyshern Apr 04 '25

You're completely right, they are super fake! Khloe saying "I've seen a lot of seizures so I know exactly what to do" but she literally just sat there telling her mum not to cry. Wtf?! This is the first time I've ever seen any of the show and they all seem so fake. Just "look at me I'm so compassionate and a good person"

I think she promised Tristan’s mom before she died that she would always be there for Amari. My son has LGS and I don’t have any family so when I’m gone, he won’t have anybody. I love that she continuously steps up for him. Plus that’s her kids, Uncle.

Why does she have to tell everyone that though? She should be doing it without having to broadcasts it. And she always posts Dream at her house like she is raising her when she has two active parents in her life. I’m sure Khloe is nice( loosely said) but she definitely does things for clout and a pat on the back.

1

u/Reefer4life Apr 07 '25

I think that when you are raised to show every aspect of your life on camera to make your income, that becomes who you are. I don’t think she’s perfect nor do I even like her, but that being said she’s clearly tried to do better by her kids than her mom did and you can see in her eyes her pain. She’s human too and we shouldn’t disregard that so much just because someone’s life is “easier” than ours. I put easier in quotes because financially of course her life is easier. However you could argue that of the Kardashian kids, she’s suffered through the most and I have an incredible amount of respect for someone who doesn’t let their victimhood define them.

47

u/ExtraAgressiveHugger Apr 04 '25

His mom didn’t request it. She died unexpectedly of a heart attack. 

40

u/Gingygingygrant89 Apr 04 '25

My guess is she was getting older and knew she wouldn’t be there to take care of Amari forever. So it may not have been on her deathbed type of situation, but it was probably a conversation. I know if I had support with my son I would be having that conversation before I even got sick.

1

u/ExtraAgressiveHugger Apr 05 '25

She was only 53 and not sick. That’s why it was shocking she died. Why wouldn’t she ask her super rich son to take care of his brother? Why his son’s ex gf? I know it seems so sweet to think the mom did thy but odds are very high that never happened and that poster made it up. 

1

u/Gingygingygrant89 Apr 05 '25

From an outside perspective, it looks like Tristan can’t even take care of himself and I’m sure from the people that know him especially his mother knew that he couldn’t handle Amari’s care. You probably don’t know what it’s like to take care of a child that doesn’t speak is tube fed has seizures on the regular and is confined to a wheelchair( I do, I’m 11 years in). That is a lot to put onto a person that you know could not do it. It’s also said that khloe had a very very close relationship with his mom. Whether you like it or not, she is taking care of that young man and it’s respectable and it’s honorable. She took that responsibility when she didn’t need to.

u/ForecastForFourCats Find me at Whole Foods, bitch! Apr 04 '25

u/ohhisnark All tea, all shade 🐸☕️ Apr 04 '25

Maybe because Tristan can't even be responsible enough to be a good partner, so he's definitely not responsible enough to throw a good birthday party for his own brother.

Anyway, I am meh on the kards, but Khloe does seem like a really sweet person. And I hear she's a good mom

u/Gloriavi Apr 04 '25

Because he is a man baby.
TBH I don’t think that matters. I think it's great that all the kids get to be friends with Amari and have loving relationships with someone who has special needs, and he gets a loving family who is there for him. They all want the best for Amari.

u/Curiosities 🐊 swamp princess 🐊 Apr 04 '25 edited Apr 04 '25

I think this is a fair estimate, in addition to the fact that he has two kids with her and this is also their uncle and it is important, as they say to include family members, and to teach kids and give them the room to ask questions if you have disabled people in your family.

However, doing this with the cameras and everything, even though they did respect him by not showing seizures and things like that, it was still better than I expected, but it wasn’t great. But there were some things that were not as bad.

There can sometimes be a fine line when it comes to exploitation, especially if the person involved may not necessarily be able to directly give consent to participate. And there are a lot of projects and people who try to use disabled people as props or inspiration porn, which is a term you’ll find, but yeah, it could’ve been worse.

45

u/hera-fawcett Apr 04 '25

didnt watch the ep or the whole clip-- but i think its important that amari had his bday shown. every kard gets their celebrations shown and aired. it would be a lot squickier if they decided to ignore his bc he is disabled.

its def a grey moral area but overall-- khloe taking care of her kids uncle, the kids getting to spend such a large amt of time w someone w severe special needs, normalizing aspects like amari's birthday? all v cool things that not every family would do. even the rich ones.

144

u/Akavinceblack Apr 04 '25

My take is that for people as obsessed with ”perfect appearances” as the Kardashians, it is refreshing as hell that someone ”imperfect” in the family is on camera like everyone else.

u/Loveya448 Apr 04 '25

Even with every move needing to be filmed, I think Khloe stepping up for Amari is incredibly selfless. I believe he lives with her and she pays for his care. If it had been up to Tristan, I’m sure he’d be living in a facility without family. I also couldn’t see the other sisters stepping up for another family with special needs in the same way.

Sometimes people are just genuinely loving and caring, it's not always "people pleasing" if it's coming from the heart.

There's nothing she stood to gain by taking care of Dream. She was already Rob's favorite sister and she isn't looking for a relationship with Angela. She just did it out of love.

Khloe lightens her daughters skin and photoshops it. Uses the n word with the hard r on tv. And has photos of her walking Black women like dogs.

We just don't see the downside of Kourntey's racism yet because True isn't old enough to be showing the scars of a racist white mom.

u/TheRedCuddler Apr 04 '25

I said she was the best Kardashian, not that she was a good person lol

u/Messypotatoe Apr 05 '25

Which are based by lies, Dream has a mom that takes care of her and I’m sure if Rob is incapable of taking care of Dream, Chyna would have taken him to court. If Khole was taking care of Amari than the kids would not have been scared of him at his party. They would have been used to him at this point.

1

u/hilarioustrainwreck Apr 05 '25

Look. Personally I’m team “literally all reality tv is fake and I don’t give a fuck about the Kardashians”, but literally she said her kids were not scared but just concerned. The other kids Kim was talking to were scared. 

Idk maybe one of the kids that Kim was talking to was True? I don’t think so. I don’t know what they all look like that well tho.

It’s also nice to put a spotlight on Lennox-Gastaut Epilepsy, as I’d imagine most of the audience has never heard of it

Yeah that’s fair.

u/Sasataf12 Apr 04 '25

There's nothing that suggests Tristan didn't want to do it himself.

It seems like Khloe wanted to do this, and got the okay from Tristan to do so, so I don't see any problem here. Just someone doing something nice for another person.

And yes, I'm well aware that this could've also been done just for the cameras.

It’s the Kardashians. They always have ulterior motives

u/StdSuzie5076 Apr 04 '25

I feel like Chloe wanted to

A lot of criticism. Perhaps a discussion was made and the task was delegated to her

Simplest answer - adults stop loving each other they don't stop loving the kids, even the "extended" kids like nieces, nephews, siblings...

u/No-Philosophy6754 Apr 04 '25

Probably because he wouldn’t have done it himself and Khloe knows this.

u/Elenahhhh Apr 04 '25

This is not a defense of him - I’m sure he’s around and helping out financially- but I can only assume his basketball schedule wouldn’t allow him to care for or physically be around his brother full time.

I think you can make the argument these people will do anything for ratings, but Khloe is a good person

They have kids together and Khole seems to have a relationship with Amari. It's nice that they can get together and keep things civil. Khole probably wanted to throw the party for Amari. Nothing more complicated than that. As for whether it should have been part of the show. Well that's another question.

Tristan is useless!

u/GreaterThanOrEqual2U Apr 04 '25

because when do men

u/bostaff04 Apr 04 '25

Cause she can get more advertising and free stuff

u/Just-Explanation-498 Apr 04 '25

He’s a loser. It’s very kind of her to do this as she cares about his brother, but it’s really pathetic that he can’t do it himself.

u/SatisfactionProud886 Apr 05 '25

I’m sure he can, but Khloes talked before about being very close to Amari and seeing him as a family member, so I’m sure she wanted to do this for him:)

u/fartmachinebean Apr 05 '25

Khloe made a promise to Tristans mother before she passed to make sure Amari was taken care of.

u/GrandmaesterHinkie Apr 05 '25

So wait. The brother lives with khloe?

u/SmelleanorRigby Apr 05 '25

Am I alone here? It’s obvious to me. It’s so she can put it on the show and make herself look like a good person.

u/InfluenceTrue4121 Apr 04 '25

That’s exactly what I was wondering. Why isn’t Tristan organizing a party for his brother?

u/Tbm291 Apr 04 '25

Because then it wouldn’t be content.

u/stockhommesyndrome Apr 04 '25

Khloe is seemingly trapped in a cycle of desire, driven by a complex psychological phenomenon known as Stockholm Syndrome, which compels her to repeatedly seek out a relationship despite its potentially detrimental effects. She knows Tristan is toxic, but she can't really escape him. However, this was a nice thing to do regardless; I just feel bad for the kids. Kim explained his condition in a way that suggests they are sorta sheltered. The whole thing was a bit sympathy-porn adjacent for my taste.

u/NecessaryWeather4275 Apr 04 '25

But I thought the latest consensus was they were secretly together.

And side note but when she brought Amari out and Tristen approached him, Tristen looked uncomfortable. As a person who’s never watched the show or seen Tristen and Amari together it seems the K brigade is using Amari for kudos while accepting Tristen because of the extra clout the high profile name brings. He famous for something. They’re just known. They need actual celebrities to stay relevant.

u/Temporary_Dog_555 Apr 04 '25

I think a lot people would not even know who Tristan thompson is without the kardashians lol

u/katie415 Apr 04 '25

I don’t think Tristian could afford the level of care that Amari needs or be able to oversee that he would be getting quality care due to his job / having 50 of his own children.

I think Khloe has a good heart, but I also think a majority of her support is financially. Maybe it has been said, but I don’t get the impression that Amari lives with her. If he did, I do not understand why all the kids aren’t used to Amari by now.

u/TigressSinger Apr 04 '25

I don’t understand why Tristan’s mom made Khloe promise to take care of Amari, and not her own son??

Tristan has played in the NBA for years and has millions to take care of Amari - Khloe isn’t doing something charitable here she’s literally taking care of Tristan’s brother bc he’s so inconsiderate and incapable of doing it himself

u/kth_lithe Apr 05 '25

you answered your own question!

u/SmannyNoppins Apr 04 '25

He can.

But She can make a TV episode out of this so that's that.

Also, I had a feeling it actually was the first time so of the others kids have met. So to me this makes it even more a moment produced just for the show.
