Honestly, I can't 'Keep Up'. I'm trying my best, I really am, but the Kardashians are too much for me and my little sausage fingers. Every day, when I get to work, I look online and there are about one million new stories about this mob. How? How do they do it? How do they keep up with their own dramas and storylines? How is Kris Jenner this. f***ing. good. at. marketing?
Khloe Kardashian. Let's be real here, you didn't care about Khloe, did you? Like Kourtney, she was sort of the side dish to the rest of the sisters. The fries to the steak. The sweetcorn on the barbeque. The Brussel sprout on our Christmas lunch. Yes, she was there. Yes, she was - kind of - needed. But, being honest, she wasn't that important. Then, however, she got cheated on and became the hottest story in the world.
Khloe's boyfriend is Tristan Thompson - the NBA player who plies his trade for the Cleveland Cavaliers. And, while he may be more than adept on the court, it turns out he isn't as good at avoiding the lenses of the world's press. In the days building up to Khloe giving birth to the couple's first child, pictures of Tristan Thompson getting 'close' to several women in a variety on nightclubs began to emerge online.
Yes, Tristan Thompson had been cheating on his pregnant girlfriend. The shock. The horror.
Of course, the fact that the images were taken months ago and then released just days before Khloe gave birth was a piece of marketing genius. How would Khloe react to the news? What next for the couple that nobody cared about but now are obsessed with? How can we 'keep up' with all of this? Well, tune in to the latest series of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, of course!
But, this was months ago, and yet, we are still obsessed with this ever-expanding, ever-twisting storyline. According to several "sources", the couple are giving it a go, but then, according to a variety of "insiders" the relationship is doomed and they are failing in therapy. But, what have Khloe and Tristan said about the matter? Well, not much, really.
Apart from popping up on Twitter to beef with her own fans, Khloe has kept her lips shut when it comes to her relationship with Tristan. However, this weekend, while celebrating the 21st birthday of her half sister Kylie Jenner, Khloe was spotted drinking from a green cup which, according to the party's rules, means that her relationship status is 'complicated.'
Not only this, but just the day after the cup incident, Khloe and Tristan were seen partying the night away together while putting on a display of PDA. Now, however, she has broken her silence on the whole cup incident. Taking to the comments section on a Kylie fan account, Khloe said: "People are reaching. I ordered a drink, it came in a cup, I drank it. End of story. Not that deep lol. I’m sure I drank out of every colored cup that night."
So, what does this do for the whole Khloe and Tristan narrative? Nothing. She's essentially said what most of us were thinking: It's just a cup.
