Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian opened up about a terrifying health scare in the season premiere of The Kardashians, revealing that doctors found a “little aneurysm” in her brain during what was supposed to be a routine MRI.
The shocking discovery was captured on camera, showing Kim lying inside the machine before being told about the results. As the gravity of it sank in, the SKIMS founder asked out loud, “Why the f* is this happening?”**
Later, Kim shared that doctors told her the aneurysm appeared to be caused by stress, something she believes built up during her difficult split from ex-husband Kanye West. The reality star said she’s been under intense emotional pressure since their 2021 divorce, which she finalized the following year.
While the MRI finding left her shaken, Kim seemed determined to stay calm and proactive about her health. Sources on the show noted that doctors were closely monitoring the aneurysm, emphasizing it hadn’t ruptured.
The episode also reminded fans that Kim has faced multiple medical struggles before. She’s previously spoken about living with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, conditions that once left her unable to move her hands. During one interview, she shared, “Psoriasis broke out over my body and I got psoriatic arthritis so I couldn’t really move my hands… I was freaking out. It was really painful, and I had to go to a rheumatologist who put me on a steroid.”
Kim has also battled serious pregnancy complications, including placenta accreta, which she described in past seasons as “one of the scariest experiences” of her life.
Despite the emotional moment, Kim’s openness about her MRI results offered a rare look at the private fears behind her polished public image — and sparked conversations about how stress can physically impact even the strongest women.
