The Kardashians season 3 aired another episode this week on Thursday, June 8, 2023, which saw Khloe Kardashian spending time with her new baby, Tatum. The celebrity previously admitted that she didn't bond as well with him as she did with True Thompson, whom she welcomed in April 2018.
In this week's episode, she further elaborated on the same and claimed that while she spends a lot of time with Tatum, she has yet to bond with him in the truest manner. While fans previously praised her for opening up and being vulnerable about her struggles, her continuous comments about the situation have left them divided.
Fans took to social media after the airing of episode 3 and asked her to get it together. They stated that she brought this child into the world and that he’s hers regardless of whether she carried him or not, and they asked her to "fix up."
The Kardashians fans react to Khloe Kardashian opening up about being unable to bond with Tatum
In June 8th’s episode of The Kardashians season 3, Khloe Kardashian further opened up about not feeling the same bond with Tatum as she does with True. Kris came to see Khloe during the episode when Khloe was feeding the baby, and the two spoke about Khloe possibly taking a break.
Kris told The Kardashians cast member that she thinks Khloe has been going through a lot and that her emotions are spent trying to deal with trauma and all the stuff that she has been through. She further encouraged her daughter to remember that and give herself a break and a "little bit of credit."
Khloe stated that while she does give herself credit, she feels bad and guilty sometimes and often wonders why it isn’t the same. She added that she does believe that eventually, it will be.
She added:
"I know I don’t treat him differently, I just question myself sometimes."
Kris went on to list how she is "mother of the year," and Khloe stated in a confessional that she wished she wasn’t so critical of herself, especially since she is "very kind to everyone else."
Fans took to social media to react to Khloe’s comments in The Kardashians’ episode and stated that while they understand that the reality star is being real and honest, they wonder how her son will feel once he grows up and sees it.
Fans who didn't see eye-to-eye with the Kardashian sister stated that they don't understand how she doesn't want to badmouth Tristan Thompson to protect her children from coming across things on the internet in the future. They further added that Khloe seemed perfectly fine with her son potentially coming across clips of her stating that she didn't have a relationship with him as a baby.
Others supported the reality star, stating that she is their favorite Kardashian, referring to her as the best mother, and wishing her happiness. They blamed Tristan for her sadness and stated that he had messed up the family. They added that their hearts go out to The Kardashians cast member and that they’re so proud of her.
The Kardashians season 3 will return with a brand new episode next week on Thursday, June 15, 2023, on Hulu.
