It is hard to believe that the 20th and final season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians is officially underway.

For well over a decade fans and viewers of the reality television series closely followed the Kardashian and Jenner family and everything that came with them. 

Audiences and followers of Keeping Up with the Kardashians have gotten to know and love the cast through the show and social media platforms. However, more recently, there is one sister fans have been getting increasingly frustrated with.

When it comes to Khloé Kardashian many people might not understand why she continues to stay with Tristan Thompson, but, apparently, the shows’ viewers and fans think they have figured it all out. 

A look back at Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson’s journey together

Khloé Kardashian and Thompson have had a bit of a roller coaster relationship. People recently published a feature outlining the tumultuous turn of events that have led the couple to their current status. 

Fans of Keeping Up with the Kardashians probably remember when Khloé Kardashian and Thompson first started publicly dating back in September of 2016. The pair became Instagram official by the end of the following month.

Wasting no time, the two shared photos of celebrating the holidays together that year. Khloé Kardashian and Thompson rung in 2017 totally in love with one another, or so they said. 

By April of 2017 Khloé Kardashian was going on the record speaking about her hopes and plans to marry Thompson and hopefully have children. Just one year after they started seeing one another and rumors began swirling over the possibility of the reality star being pregnant.

Sure enough, that December, the couple confirmed what many people had been speculating. 

As Khloé Kardashian’s pregnancy progressed the celebrity seemed happier than ever, but, as the star’s loyal fans already know, that didn’t last.

Allegations and questionable photos regarding Thompson and his fidelity broke just days before Khloé Kardashian was set to give birth to their daughter.

Though things were definitely tense for the birth of True, it didn’t take very long for Kardashian and Thompson to get back together. And then, of course, who could forget the infamous scandal involving Thompson and Jordyn Woods, Kylie Jenner’s former BFF.

Almost one year after the cheating scandal the couple found themselves quarantining together and giving love yet another chance.

A lot has happened since Khloé Kardashian and Thompson first got together, and it is safe to say that not all of it is positive. Fans and followers of Keeping Up with the Kardashians have more than their fair share of reasons to dis the NBA star who Khloé Kardashian keeps going back to.

This Reddit thread summarizes some of the feelings and opinions fans on the matter, and it is safe to say many people are frustrated with the reality television star from the Bravo show. One user in the discussion wrote, “Women need to choose better for themselves. Disgusting & unacceptable behavior.”

It wasn’t the only comment criticizing Khloé Kardashian and the comment. Another fan in the thread explained, “Are you a Kardashian fan? Because almost all of the women from the family entered relationships knowing these men were married or were dating other people.”

Though many people might not agree with Khloé Kardashian and her family’s lifestyles or decisions, some of the fans think they have figured out why Khloé Kardashian continues to stay with Thompson. 

Fans and followers of ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ have a theory as to why Khloé Kardashian won’t leave Tristan Thompson

Believe it or not, fans and viewers of Keeping Up with the Kardashians believe the “NBA groupie” mentality is the reason why Khloé Kardashian continues to stand by Thompson’s side.

As the Reddit thread highlighted, money, fame, and fun are at the center of the NBA groupie culture. Many people believe that Khloé Kardashian would not ever want to jeopardize her status or connections that come with dating an NBA star. 

One comment put the theory into perspective perfectly: “Also nearly all professional athlete’s wives have a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy re: cheating. They want the status of being wives and just don’t want to be publicly embarrassed – though even when they are, they nearly universally forgive. Not only do the hometown girlfriends forgive, but even women like Gabrielle Union who are accomplished in their own right find a way to forgive.”

Many fans believe understanding the NBA groupie culture is key to understanding Khloé Kardashian.
