Kourtney Kardashian Shares How She Really Feels About Tristan Thompson

Kourtney Kardashian kept it a buck on her family’s show about the father of her sisters’ kids. In a recent “The Kardashians” episode, Kourtney revealed feeling triggered by Tristan Thompson’s presence — and her daughter Penelope seems to feel the same.

Tristan and Khlo Kardashian share two children together named True and Tatum. While speaking on Thompson, Kourt admitted that it’s hard to forget his betrayals against Khlo.

Kourtney Says Tristan Has Made “Horrible Decisions”

Tristan had planned to join the Kardashian fam at Kourtney’s Palm Springs home on Easter. When Kourtney told her eldest daughter Penelope that, she seemed to barely agree with being around her cousins’ dad. Kourtney took accountability for Penelope’s discomfort with Tristan, saying she feels the same.

“I feel like [Penelope] gets it from me. I told her, the first day of school, I was so triggered by him. I know why, but I was like, I feel like we all brush it off and are fine and I was so triggered, and I was like, I just can’t do it anymore.”

For Kourtney, Tristan has made “horrible decisions and choices” with Khlo, and it hinders her ability to have a relationship with him. Her stance is a strong opposite to Kim Kardashian’s, who got mixed reactions for her recent praise of Tristan Thompson.

“There’s times when I’m so triggered by him I can’t be around him. Then there’s times I just let it go because we just want harmony. He’s the father of my niece and nephew,” Kourtney said in a confessional.

Khlo Says Tristan Is STILL Trying His Hand With Her

Tristan has set his and Khlo’s love life on fire a few times, especially after cheating on her while pregnant. They reconciled and eventually decided to have a second child via surrogacy. Days after the implantation process, Khlo (and the rest of the world) learned that Tristan had a baby on the way with Maralee Nichols.

He’s apologized to Khlo in public — from social media posts to cameos on “The Kardashians.” But Khlo has taken a strong public stance against spinnin’ the block with her children’s father.

In the same episode as her sister, she once again said she’s not here for a rekindled romance. She admitted to being the owner of a land plot that’s side-by-side with one Tristan owns. Khlo thinks Tristan is hoping she’ll forget their past, but she says she “just can’t anymore.”

“Right now, [Tristan] is convinced that we are going to build this house, and I don’t know if he thinks we’re going to do this together as a couple or co-op and share this home that we build together. I don’t know where his head is at, but one of us will break eventually.”

As for her niece not being a Tristan fan, Khlo is accepting of it.

“I want Penelope to have these feelings, and I don’t want to talk her out of them because I don’t want this behavior to be something I’m validating or I’m justifying. I want her to know that how she’s feeling is the right way to feel. We should not accept someone treating us like this.”
