Khloé Kardashian isn’t taking the blame for her former partners’ rumored bad behavior.
The 40-year-old reality star struggled with reported infidelity both in her marriage to Lamar Odom and in her relationship with the father of her children, Tristan Thompson. But the mother of two isn’t letting that define how she feels about herself.
“I know what was done to me was not about me,” Kardashian told Jay Shetty on the Wednesday, Jan. 22, episode of her Khloé in Wonderland podcast. “I know that was about them, and they have past trauma that they’ve never healed from.”
The Good American founder explained that when she would ask exes why they made the decision to cheat, they’d respond, “‘Oh, my parents or I came from a broken house.’ It’s always something like that. It’s never about the immediate relationship.”
Kardashian — mom to daughter True Thompson, 6, and son Tatum Thompson, 2 — also acknowledged the help of her loved ones to get through the struggles of her failed relationships.
“If it wasn’t for my family, my core circle and also my relationship with God… I just learned it wasn’t about me,” she said.
Kardashian said she also realized that instead of viewing the cheating as something that was done to her, she’s been able to realize that the incidents were actually about her exes.
