‘It can’t be’: Kim Kardashian’s sad update following brain aneurysm
The reality star and SKIMS founder has received some startling health news, revealing the extent of damage from her recent brain aneurysm.
Kim Kardashian revealed her latest brain scan show she has “low activity.”
In her visit to Dr. Daniel Amen — who previously scanned Khloe Kardashian and Kendall Jenner’s brains in 2022 — the doctor brought some “holes” in her brain scan to her attention, which indicated “low activity.”
“The front part of your brain is less active than it should be,” the doctor explained on Thursday’s episode of The Kardashians.
“With your frontal lobes, as they work now, it would be harder to manage stress and that’s not good for you, especially as you’re studying and you’re getting ready to take the boards,” Amen continued.
“That just can’t be,” Kim, 45, replied. “It just can’t — not accepting.”
He later informed the All’s Fair star that the “chronic stress” could be tied to her studying for the California Bar exam.
“I got to get on a plan to really figure this out because I have some s–t to do this summer,” she said in the episode.
Kim ultimately did not pass the test this year despite her strenuous cramming.
Reality fans may recall that Kim tearfully told her sister Kourtney Kardashian that doctors found a “little” brain aneurysm during her MRI scan in the Season 7 premiere, which aired in October.
At the time, the SKIMS founder cried, wondering “why the f–k” it was happening. Her doctors eventually informed her that aneurysms can be caused by “stress.”
The business mogul speculated that the stress was likely brought on by her contentious divorce from Kanye West, with whom she shares kids North, 12, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6.
Shortly after the episode aired, Kim gave an update on her health in a Good Morning America interview.
“I had to end up going and getting tons of other brain scans at Cedars-Sinai [Medical Center] with all the team,” she said.
Without giving away too many details, she told viewers that “everything works out” for her in the end.
