The very recent Khloe Kardashian birth drama, spiced with alleged cheating by her NBA star baby daddy, is the perfect storm for reality TV, almost as if it had been scripted from the start.
There’s never a dull moment in “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” et al., but this past week has been exceptionally dramatic for the celebrity family and would make for great television even if only a fraction of all the related gossip was true.
It began earlier this week when rumors began circulating that Khloe Kardashian’s boyfriend, Cleveland Cavaliers basketball player Tristan Thompson, had allegedly cheated on her, The Washington Post reported.
A heavily pregnant Khloe Kardashian reportedly was in a suburban Cleveland Clinic hospital on Tuesday when The Daily Mail published footage of a man alleged to be Thompson getting cozy with an unidentified woman on Saturday night way off in New York City at a rooftop Manhattan bar.
Not to be outdone, TMZ followed up with a report on how a man alleged to be Thompson was caught on surveillance footage last October cuddling up to two women at a hookah lounge outside Washington D.C.
More folks started tuning in to the building scandal after Thompson made his first public appearance amid the rumors at Wednesday’s televised Cavaliers game, where the crowd erupted into loud booing when he took to the court.
Khloe Kardashian reportedly was “devastated” by all this and family matriarch Kris Jenner had to fly in to Cleveland to be there for her daughter, anonymous sources told ET.
On Thursday morning rumors began circulating that Khloe Kardashian had given birth. An anonymous source told TMZ that the 33-year-old welcomed a baby girl into the world. The Cavs reportedly let Thompson skip practice to be there.
The usually blabby Kardashians remained tight-lipped, even on social media, but People magazine said it confirmed the birth with multiple anonymous sources.
What’s next has been left to fans, gossip sites and tabloids to speculate about.
People said the cameras discretely rolled the entire time, and the Post headlined its latest story, “The ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ episode about Khloe giving birth is going to be bonkers.”
