Kim Kardashian has a ‘master plan’ to get Khloe & Tristan to ‘kiss and make up’ but may be pushing too hard, says expert
KIM Kardashian must stop interfering in sister Khloe’s personal life and trying to force her to go back to her ex, a psychologist has warned.
As the reality star continues to big up cheating Tristan Thompson online and at basketball games, she claims Kim is playing with fire.
Kim has become a firm fixture at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles of late.
Not a week has passed without the 42-year-old reality TV star sitting glammed up courtside, either alone or with friends and family.
Kim always attracts attention because of her fame. But her massive public show of support for Lakers star Tristan has caused a backlash.
As well as cheering on sister Khloe’s cheating ex during the May playoffs, Kim had been posting support for him on her Instagram Stories.
In one, on May 6, she wrote: “YESSSSS GOOOOO LAKERS,” and tagged her sister’s unfaithful ex-partner. She posted again three days later.
Fans reacted on platforms like Reddit. “I just can’t believe how this man literally trashed and disrespected Khloe and Kim continually shows her support for whatever this relationship is, ” one wrote.
A second commented: “It confuses me how she can sit there and talk s**t about this man when he hurts her sister, but then goes and supports him later??!!”
Kim’s obvious show of adulation reached its climax on May 12.
The Skims founder gripped a cardboard sign to cheer on Thompson with her daughter, North West, 10.
In an exclusive interview, psychologist Jo Hemmings told The U.S. Sun: “Kim has taken on a directional role in her younger sister’s personal life.
“It has gone into overdrive.
“Kim sees the possibility of her sister and Tristan getting back together.
“She has been making a pretty public statement of encouraging her and trying to move it along.
“Kim can’t stop now and appears to have this master plan because she thinks Tristan and Khloe should be back together.
“She probably doesn’t want Khloe to waste time or the opportunity.
“Kim clearly wants them to kiss and make up, but she really needs to be cautious about interfering.
“This might be a lengthier process than she might like.
“Kim is in danger of pushing Khloe too hard to get back with Tristan – or at least forgive him.”
It is what lies behind Khloe’s personal heartache that has caused Kardashian fans to question Kim’s recent behavior.
Khloe and the NBA player share two kids, daughter True, five, and baby son Tatum Robert.
Tristan has another son, Theo, who he conceived with fitness model Maralee Nichols when he was in a relationship with Khloe.
At the time, Tristan issued a public apology to Khloe after paternity results revealed he was the father.
Currently, Tristan is set to star in season 3 of The Kardashians. He also appears to still be single.
Meanwhile, Khloe, 38, has since taken to Instagram and shared a meme about dating – suggesting she may be open to meeting new men.
“There is a part of Khloe that definitely hasn’t ruled out a reconciliation with Tristan despite her recent dating post,” added Jo.
“Kim knows this and is trying to encourage it by showing up everywhere supporting him.
“I suspect there are discussions and considerations going on behind the scenes.
“Perhaps Khloe wants space and time to work that out and go on a couple of dates in the meantime.
“Older sister Kim is definitely having a moment with all of this.”
As season 3 of The Kardashians kicked off last week, it showed Kim weeping over her own personal life.
Our expert notes her relationship woes may be causing Kim to focus on Khloe’s personal life instead.
“Maybe Kim regrets how her own marriage ended, ” added Jo.
“She could be living her disappointment of the family breakup through Khloe.
“Otherwise, Kim is 42 now and won’t be calming down for the foreseeable future.
“She thrives on publicity, and having some control over it.
“It is in her DNA.
“Plus she’s at the peak of her life – still beautiful and still sought after and likes to be in control.
“Even bringing Khloe to The Usher concerts shows she has taken a protective, supportive role in Khloe’s life.
“But again, Kim must be careful not to push too hard.
“If she dominates Khloe’s life for her own agenda, this won’t end nicely.”
