The hit reality TV show “The Kardashians” offers an unfiltered glimpse into the lives of Hollywood’s most renowned family, the Kardashian-Jenners. In a memorable episode, Kourtney Kardashian attempted to have a heartfelt discussion with her mother, Kris Jenner, and sister Khloé Kardashian about therapy.
However, Kris interrupted the serious conversation to comment on Kourtney’s chin dimple and uneven eyebrows, according to BuzzFeed. While speaking with Kris, Kourtney asked, “Can I tell you something about you? What about you makes you have this need to be so controlling? Are you ever curious about yourself?” Addressing her mother’s controlling nature, she added, “You weren’t like that when you were in your 20s.
But also, you had a husband who led the way. And now you lead the way. You can be back in your feminine energy if you ever desire.” Kourtney emphasized the importance of self-care by avoiding overthinking and overdoing things. She then asked, “Do you do therapy or not?” Kris deflected the question and redirected the conversation to a dimple on Kourtney’s chin. “Do you have a cute little dimple in your chin right there?” she asked.
Kourtney replied, “I think I do, and I honestly don’t know why it came.” Khloé chimed in, “God bless Kourtney, ’cause she’s definitely trying to have this therapy talk. And God bless my mom, ’cause she’s definitely not.” Later in the episode, Kourtney again tried to discuss therapy, only to be ignored by her mother. Kris then grabbed Kourtney’s face and said, “Let me see something… Do you think this little eyebrow is higher than that one?”
Kourtney explained, “My mom tries to change the subject or not really face these types of topics. But it really does sink in. She sends me a video afterward saying there’s always that one daughter in the family who does things her way and who heals all the family’s generational trauma.” This behavior did not sit well with fans, with one person commenting on Reddit, “The absolute ugliest trait I’ve ever seen on television.”
The same person added, “Kris interrupting her daughter talking about therapy getting her out of an abusive relationship to nitpick at her looks.” Reflecting on her therapy experience, Kourtney shared, “I didn’t start a self-awareness journey knowing what I was doing. I started therapy through a toxic relationship and then learned so much about myself, about my family, about why I do certain things, about our childhood wounds, about how they show up in intimate relationships, generational trauma.” She continued, “I know that people in my family would benefit from therapy. But I’m letting go of trying to change other people and just accepting everyone for who they are,” as reported by Marie Claire.
