KHLOÉ BREAKS DOWN

Accusation­s that she was once the “other woman” in Tristan Thompson’s relationsh­ip send devastated Khloé Kardashian spiraling

-

Khloé Kardashian couldn’t stay silent. Accused of being a home-wrecker, she took to Instagram on June 11 to deny that she knew baby daddy Tristan Thompson was with model Jordan Craig when they started dating in 2016. “Tristan told me that he had an ex that was pregnant,” Khloé, 34, wrote of her early days with the NBA star. “He pleaded with me that the relationsh­ip was over long before we met.… He had me on calls with his lawyers to prove his point. His best friends, business associates and

even his mother told me.… This is my truth!”

But Jordan, 27, asserted in newly discovered court papers that her truth was very different, and the stress of the betrayal led to “serious pregnancy compl icat ions .” Now Khloé is experienci­ng health problems herself after several drama-filled months that also included a scandalous breakup from Tristan, 28, and the release of a tell-all by exhusband Lamar Odom, 39. “Khloé seems like she has it all together, but she’s really struggling,” a source tells Life & Style exclusivel­y. “She isn’t eating, and her hair is falling out, which happens when she gets super stressed. She’s on the verge of a fullfledge­d breakdown.”

COMING UNHINGED

Khloé’s had to endure hit after hit. First, Tristan — who previously cheated on her when she was pregnant with now-14month- old True — got too cozy with longtime Kardashian family friend Jordyn Woods, 21, following a night of clubbing. Devastated Khloé ended her relationsh­ips with both of them. Then, Darkness to Light came out. In it, former Lakers player Lamar embarrassi­ngly details how cheating on his wife was a common occurrence, with Khloé once even beating up a stripper she found in his hotel room. He also writes about grabbing Khloé and threatenin­g to kill her while high on drugs. “That was the most sinful part of my marriage,” Lamar tells Life & Style.

But it was the Jordan drama that finally pushed Khloé over the edge. “Being called the other woman is terribly hard for Khloé, because she’s obviously been cheated on

by every guy she’s been with,” says the source. “She’d never want to be that person. Khloé’s taking everything very personally. But she internaliz­es a lot, and it’s making her ill.”

Family advised her not to vent her frustratio­ns on social media, “but she didn’t listen to them,” the source adds. “Now, she’s telling friends that she needs to get away from all the negativity, from everything people are saying about her. She’s been stewing for weeks, and she’s ready to explode.”
