Kim and Khloe Kardashian have made it clear that the so-called “Kardashian curse” is not something they find funny.
People have talked about this idea on social media for years. It says that if you date a Kardashian or Jenner woman, you will have bad luck if you break up with them.
Several family members have said it’s not true in the past, but it’s been brought up again because TikTok users are sharing videos that seem to prove it’s true.
In the most recent episode of The Kardashians, however, the sisters shut it down by saying that it was “sexist.”
During dinner with her sister Kim and her boyfriend Scott Disick, Khloé showed them a TikTok that said a Kardashian ancestor had “sacrificed her life” to four witches in Armenia so that the women in her family would be famous forever.
Scott then said that the idea was like the “Kardashian curse,” and while Kim laughed that she should “never date” again, Khloe let Scott know how she felt.
‘Let me tell you something, and this is where it’s f***ed up,’ she began.
‘It’s super sexist.
‘Why can society blame us girls, but they would never blame men?’
She then joked that, according to the theory, she was to blame for “making someone a drug user” and “making someone cheat,” referring to her ex-boyfriends Lamar Odom and Tristan Thompson.
Scott, who used to date Kourtney and has three children with her, agreed and told the two that it was the guy’s fault.
Then putting in her two cents, Kim said she wished that ‘some of the guys would come to our defence’, before Scott jumped in and said: ‘I will. I’ll say it right now. I’m the one who made mistakes.’
‘Hey everybody, I’m pretty sure you watched every other season when we started the show,’ he said to the camera, referring to the family’s previous show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
‘And I f***ed up a lot.’
Khloé then said that Lamar, whom she married in 2009 and divorced in 2013, had always stood up for the family. Her sister agreed with her.
Then, when it was Kim’s turn to talk to the camera, she directly addressed Lamar and thanked him for “always defending us and keeping it real.”
The first time family members talked about the curse was in 2016, which was a very long time ago.
Kendall Jenner and Scott went to a tarot reader who said the curse was real on an episode of KUWTK.
Andy Cohen also asked Kendall if the women really believed in the curse during the last meeting of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
‘What I don’t like about this narrative is that the blame is on us,’ she said.
She then said that the men ‘needed to take that responsibility’.
The Kardashians airs on in the US and is available to stream on Disney Plus in the UK.
