Sunday night’s episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians gave viewers an inside look into Tristan Thompson and Khloe Kardashian’s strained relationship before they called it quits. 

Despite the fact he was the talking point of many conversations, the basketballer was noticeably absent from the episode. To make matters even more strange, fans noticed Tristan’s face was also blurred out of every photo of him and Khloe, and recent footage of the NBA player cuddling their daughter, True, had also been blurred to conceal his identity.

While some speculated that Khloe was behind the move, when asked on Twitter the reality TV star said she had nothing to do with it, and didn’t even notice his face was blurred. 

“Wait? It is!?!?? I did not even notice that. I don’t know,” she wrote on Twitter. “Well, you obviously know who it is LOL so I don’t know what the point of that is. I’ll find out.”

When another fan asked, “Isn’t there a paper you have to sign in order to be shown on the show? maybe it’s that??” Khloe said that he didn’t sign a waiver to show those pictures. 

“We obviously didn’t do anything. He might not have signed a waiver to show those images. Why would I want to blur his face? I’m not hiding his identity LOL #KUWTK,” she wrote. 

The episode, which was filmed less than a year after they welcomed their daughter amidst Tristan’s first cheating scandal, showed Khloe and her best friend Makila Haqq having a heart to heart about the state of her relationship. 

“It’s really hard to regain trust,” she said. “I’m someone where the energy I have towards True, that’s all that matters to me, and if that starts to be affected by me wondering, ‘What’s Tristan doing? Where is he?’ I will be out in two f**king seconds,” Khloe said. “I am in love. I know I love him, but still, I’m not gonna act like nothing’s wrong.”

Khloe went on to admit that Tristan continuously pressured her to forgive him in an attempt to rebuild their relationship. 

“I’m allowed to do things when I want to do it,” Khloe said. “He needs to know, ‘Your one stupid weekend… look what it did to three years of our relationship. You just demolished that. So was it worth it for you?'” Khloe continued. “I appreciate the efforts he’s put in. Like he does self-help and therapy… and he knows I’m still trying. I don’t have to come here.”

“If I didn’t feel anything, I wouldn’t be here,” she added. “I still have to get to, like, the next phase. And I will get there.”
