Khloe Kardashian Manages Angry Tweets, Divorce And Lawsuits

It’s been a week of highs and lows for Khloe Kardashian.  The reality TV star has been adjusting to her X Factor hosting gig amid a series of tabloid woes from divorce rumors to lawsuits – which may explain her unusual Twitter outburst.

“Don’t you ever f**k with my family! Don’t try me because you really don’t know,” Kardashian tweeted on Wednesday.

While the reason for the angry tweet remains unclear, perhaps it has something to do with two troubling events this week, tabloid reports  claiming her marriage to L.A. Clippers forward Lamar Odom is on the rocks and an additional lawsuit against her cosmetic line.

A myriad of weekly tabloids are claiming that Kardashian’s fertility struggles are causing turmoil between her and Odom. Kardashian, 28, and Odom, 33, have reportedly been trying to have a baby for over two years. The couple married in 2009 after an infamous 30 day courtship.

Odom’s 2011 departure from the L.A. Lakers and brief stint with the Dallas Mavericks also likely caused added strain, as the couple moved to Dallas last year only to move back a few months later.  They have also put their E! Show “Khloe and Lamar” on indefinite hiatus so that Odom could focus on his basketball career and new season with the Clippers.

Professionally, Kardashian is also facing some added stress, with the filing of a second lawsuit against her cosmetic line Khroma, which she has with sisters Kourtney and Kim.

Two companies have accused the Kardashians of sealing their trademark, a Beverly Hills-based makeup company called Chroma, and a second company registered as Kroma.

The Kardashians line, promoting affordable glamour, is set to be released for the holidays, but the court is still out on whether these legal issues will be resolved by then.

Regardless, the stress can’t be good for Kardashian, as she tries to have a baby with Odom, ignore divorce rumors and adjust to her new gig as co-host of Fox’s  The X Factor.  “It’s a learning process, I think,” she said of her new job, “you know, practice makes perfect.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
