Khloe Kardashian battled illness earlier this year
Khloe Kardashian battled coronavirus earlier this year.
The reality star’s COVID19 diagnosis was revealed in a clip released Wednesday to promote an upcoming episode of her E! Network series “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.”
“I have been in my room,” Kardashian says in a selfie video that she recorded as she was overcoming the virus. “It’s gonna be fine, but it was really bad for a couple days.”
The promo does not disclose when Kardashian, 36, tested positive for the virus. She said her symptoms included vomiting, shaking and “the craziest headache.”
“My chest would burn when I would cough,” Kardashian said in the video. “My throat is still not fully recovered.”
Toward the end of the video, Kardashian expressed optimism that the world will get through the pandemic if everyone follows orders, and stressed the severity of the virus.
“Let me tell you, that s — is real,” she said.
In July, Kanye West — who is married to Khloe’s sister, Kim Kardashian — told Forbes that he battled COVID-19 toward the beginning of the year. He said his symptoms included chills and shaking.
Kim told Italian magazine Grazia in a piece published earlier this month that it was “so scary” when West was sick.
“I had to go and change his sheets and help him get out of bed when he wasn’t feeling good,” she told the magazine. “It was a challenge because it was so unknown. Changing his sheets with gloves and a face shield was really a scary time.”
