‘I’ve never felt pain like this’

At one point, Pippen was a close friend and confidant of Kim Kardashian West. By association, Pippen got to know everyone in her extended family and even appeared on keeping up with the Kardashians several times.

But all that goodwill has since evaporated thanks to a recent podcast interview Pippen did with Hollywood Raw. She has revealed details about her relationship with family and how her friendship with Kardashian West has fallen apart.

Pippen cited Kanye West as the reason for his estrangement from the Kardashians, saying he “brainwashed” them.

“I just felt like Kanye was in a place where he didn’t really trust anyone with Kim,” Real Miami Housewives star admitted. “I was his go-to when he wasn’t happy with X, Y, and Z. How did it turn out?” Maybe because I blocked him on my phone because I couldn’t stand his calls anymore. “

“If Kanye feels like him and Kim are better off without me, then let them be without me. I’m okay with that, ”Pippen continued. “I can not. I’m exhausted.

Kardashian sister also had COVID-19

Many other celebrities have also confirmed their own diagnoses of COVID-19. People from Tom Hanks and Dwayne “The Rock Johnson to Andy Cohen and Doja Cat have fought the disease.

Coincidentally, one celebrity who has tested positive for the coronavirus is one who was in Pippen’s circle: Khloé Kardashian. Kardashian confirmed her diagnosis in October 2020 and her family was worried about her because of her severe symptoms.

“This virus hit me like a ton of bricks,” Kardashian said in an episode of KUWTK. “It was really scary.”

Pippen also mentioned Kardashian in her recent fiery interview and revealed that she even introduced her to Tristan Thompson years ago. “I saw Tristan a bit before Khloé, before Khloe or any of them knew he existed,” she says. “I took him to a party that Kim was having… Then a week later, or 10 days later, he started seeing Khloé, which is good. I don’t even care.
