Khloe Kardashian recently opened up about the deep emotional struggles she faced following the death of her father, Robert Kardashian, and how filming Keeping Up With The Kardashians forced her to confront her pain on camera.
Struggling with Grief and Anger
The reality star, now 40, was just 19 when her father passed away. During a candid conversation on her podcast Khloe in Wonderland with grief expert David Kessler, she revealed that she harbored intense anger for about three years after the loss. Khloe shared that during the first season of KUWTK, she was pushed by producers to speak about her late father, something she had avoided for years.

“For about three years, I was incredibly angry,” Khloe said. “I was filming my show, and in season one, I remember one of my producers was making me do an interview about my dad because I wouldn’t talk about him. At that time, if I spoke about him, I would just break down.”
From Pain to Peace
Although she initially resisted the conversation, Khloe now believes it was a pivotal moment in her healing journey. “It was as if a house got lifted off of me after that conversation,” she admitted. “I was kicking and screaming while doing it, but as soon as I had that conversation, that was the last time that I cried when talking about my dad, in a bad way.”
