Kourtney Kardashian has revealed that her daughter, Penelope, has shared her anger over Tristan Thompson’s cheating scandals.
Over the last few years, Khloe Kardashian’s relationship with Tristan has crumbled after it emerged that the NBA star had been unfaithful when the 39-year-old was pregnant with their first child, True.
Things then imploded once again when he kissed Jordyn Woods on a night out, but they managed to get their relationship briefly back on track – until it was revealed that the 32-year-old had secretly fathered another baby while beginning the surrogacy process with the reality star.
In the latest episode of the Kardashians, Kourtney, 44, explained the impact this had on their family, admitting that she felt ‘triggered’ by seeing her sister hurt so many times – which, in turn, affected her 11-year-old daughter.
‘P, Koko’s going to come grab you on the golf cart,’ she told the youngster. ‘Tristan’s with them. Is that okay?’
Off camera, Penelope could be heard replying: ‘Yeah, I’m fine…’

Speaking to the camera, Kourtney addressed the reaction, explaining that it possibly stemmed from her own feelings about the athlete and his infidelity.
‘I feel like she gets it from me. I told her the first day of school, I was so triggered by him, I don’t know why,’ the Poosh owner said.
When a producer interjected that she does ‘know why’, she conceded: ‘I know why… But I feel like we all brush it off and are fine, and then I was just so triggered and was like, “I just can’t do it anymore.”’
In a confessional, she continued: ‘Tristan has made horrible decisions and choices with my sister. There’s times I’m so triggered by him I can’t be around him.
‘And then there’s times when I just let it go because we just want harmony. He’s the father of my niece and nephew.’
Khloe insisted that she doesn’t expect her family to be in a positive place with Tristan just because she has chosen to move past his repeated cheating, and cheered her niece on for wanting to hold him accountable.
‘I’m really proud of myself for where me and Tristan are, and how I am able to allow him to be the father he wants to be,’ she said in her own on-camera interview.
‘But where I am at with Tristan has nothing to do with what I expect my family members to do. If Penelope has her feelings about Tristan, rightfully so. Good for you, girl.

‘I want Penelope to have these feelings and I don’t want to talk her out of them, because I don’t want this behavior to be something I’m validating or I’m justifying. I want her to know that how she’s feeling is the right way to feel.
‘We should not accept someone treating us like this.’
Khloe and Tristan started dating in 2016 and welcomed their daughter, True, two years later, but their bond shattered after the NBA athlete was unfaithful during her pregnancy.
They were able to sort through their issues but their romance hit another hurdle when the dad-of-four later kissed Jordyn Woods on a night out.

During the pandemic, they reunited while isolating together and decided to start the process of surrogacy to welcome their second child – but things fizzled romantically when it was confirmed that he had secretly fathered a baby with Maralee Nichols.
They eventually went their separate ways but introduced Tatum last summer, have remained close to co-parent their brood.
Sharing an update on their bond on a recent episode of the Kardashians, Khloe told mom Kris Jenner: ‘Him and I have a great friendship relationship. We get along fine and for my kids, I will put anything to the side.
‘What’s done is done so what would I still be holding on to something for? I don’t need to “punish” him because I’m not getting back with him.
‘There’s still boundaries, I definitely put my foot down around a lot of things. No one is just around here chilling if there’s no kids involved.’
She added to the camera: ‘These boundaries are so important to put into place with Tristan because we’ve done this song and dance a handful of times already
‘I’ve got back with him after a cheating scandal, so I don’t know if Tristan is under the impression, “Oh, wow, ride this out and eventually she’ll get back with me”. I get why he would think that. So it’s my job to set boundaries that my actions show otherwise.’
‘I keep it very short and sweet and I make sure he knows it’s all about the kids,’ she added. ‘I can’t let those old habits easily come into my life. It’s just not what I want.’
The Kardashians airs on Hulu in the US and is available to stream on Disney+ in the UK.
