Khloé Kardashian posts about being held ‘hostage’ to past amid Tristan drama
Khloé Kardashian shared a not-so-cryptic TikTok video that encourages viewers to “grow” instead of being held “hostage” to their pasts.
The Good American co-founder posted the inspirational speech amid the heartbreaking twist that her ex Tristan Thompson agreed to implant a surrogate to have a second child with Kardashian while secretly knowing fitness trainer Maralee Nichols was pregnant with his son.
“Some people only know what they knew about you. They have no clue what’s actually new about you,” Graham, a Maryland-based TikToker, said in the viral video, which Kardashian, 38, reposted via Instagram Saturday.
“You see, I figured out that people will hold you hostage to your past because it helps them validate how they wanted to feel about you,” the speaker continued.
“And to be honest, it helps them really validate how they want to feel about themselves. Either way, can I give you some advice? Grow. Grow at such a rate so fast and so much that your past becomes irrelevant. Anybody who chooses to see you from your old scope, they become just as irrelevant.”
While the “Kardashians” star may want fans to focus on her future rather than her past with Thompson, it becomes incredibly difficult when the season finale of her family’s Hulu series ends with her finding out about Nichols’ pregnancy — only for news of her secret surrogacy to later break.
Sources told Page Six that Kardashian and Thompson’s baby boy is due imminently. Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls center-forward, 31, has been partying all over Europe, even holding hands with a mystery woman, while the surrogate gears up to deliver his baby.
Despite what appears to be egregious behavior given the circumstances, the former E! reality star seemed to have given him a pass by “liking” a post that says they are both single and essentially free to mingle.
Thompson is also dad to 5-year-old son Prince with ex Jordan Craig and 4-year-old daughter True with Kardashian.
