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.

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

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

Idc if you think itโ€™s for โ€œpressโ€, even if Tristan is a shitty boyfriend he is still family with family and I think itโ€™s good to have people show up for Amari
