Kim Kardashian made a startling revelation during the Season 7 premiere of The Kardashians, sharing that doctors discovered a brain aneurysm during a routine MRI. The shocking moment unfolded on the show, where Kim learned she had a “small aneurysm,” a condition the Mayo Clinic describes as a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain that can become life-threatening if it ruptures. Doctors reportedly told her that stress could be a contributing factor.

In the episode, Kim reflected on how the emotional strain from her highly publicized divorce from rapper Kanye West had affected her health, even triggering a flare-up of her psoriasis. “The stress was unbearable,” she admitted, linking her physical symptoms to the toll of the split. The episode portrays the reality star grappling with the frightening diagnosis while juggling the pressures of her career and family life.

However, a family source later clarified that Kim does not blame Kanye for the aneurysm, despite how the trailer for the season may have suggested otherwise. The source explained that creative editing exaggerated the link between her health scare and her divorce, adding that Kim’s main focus now is recovery, stress management, and maintaining her well-being.
