Kim Kardashian has made an emotional revelation in a preview clip for Hulu’s The Kardashians Season 7, disclosing that she was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm.
In the emotional footage, the SKIMS founder breaks down in tears while undergoing an MRI scan. Following the scan, Kim shares the shocking news with her family, saying, “There was a little aneurysm.”
Explaining the doctor’s diagnosis, Kim revealed that the cause was linked to stress, recalling the medical team’s words: “They were like, ‘just stress.’”
According to the Mayo Clinic, a brain aneurysm occurs when there is a bulge or ballooning in the wall of a blood vessel, which can potentially rupture and cause life-threatening internal bleeding.
During the upcoming season’s premiere, the American Horror Story and All’s Fair actress opens up about the intense pressure she faces, attributing much of her stress to her former husband Kanye West. The couple, who share four children, were married from 2014 to 2021.
“I feel more stressed probably just because I have to protect my kids,” said the 45-year-old star, adding, “Everyone around me can handle the drama, but I want to protect my babies. They’re going to grow up and see everything.”
Elsewhere in the episode, Kim also discusses the return of her psoriasis, which she hadn’t experienced since her divorce. “It just started coming back,” she noted, linking the flare-up again to stress.
Reflecting on her past, Kim told her mother Kris Jenner, “I’m happy it’s over. My ex will always be in my life—we have four kids together.”
