Khloe Kardashian Opens Up About Family Drama With Stepmom Ellen Pierson

Khloe Kardashian's Podcast Revelation

Khloe Kardashian is diving into a chapter of her family's past that rarely sees the light of day. In the latest episode of her podcast, "Khloe in Wonder Land," she opened up about Ellen Pierson, the woman who became her stepmother under controversial circumstances. Khloe revealed, "I don't have really anything of my dad's," explaining how Pierson married her father, Robert Kardashian, just weeks before his death and subsequently took everything.

"When my dad died, a woman married him weeks on his deathbed and took everything from us, so I don't have anything of my dad's. Long story," Khloe shared candidly.

The discussion was sparked by a heartfelt gift from her sister Kim, who spent a whopping $80,000 to retrieve their father's Bible from an auction. This emotional gesture allowed Khloe to reconnect with her father's handwriting, a personal touch she treasures deeply.

The Kardashian-Pierson Saga

Robert Kardashian, who passed away in 2003 from esophageal cancer, had a complex marital history. After his divorce from Kris Jenner in 1991, he married two more times, with his last wife being Ellen Pierson. The relationship with Pierson has been rocky, to say the least. In 2013, she sued the Kardashian family for defamation, claiming that Robert's journals portrayed Kris Jenner negatively.

Khloe, defending her family, argued that her father was not in a sound state of mind when Pierson married him, attributing his compromised mental state to his cancer battle. This legal battle wrapped up in 2015 when the lawsuit was settled and dismissed.

Family Memories and Regrets

Ellen Pierson's presence still lingers in the Kardashian narrative. In a recent episode of "The Kardashians," Kim and Khloe reflected on their father, with Kim recounting a dream where Robert was alive and living in Los Angeles "with Ellen," but hiding from his kids. Khloe's response? An emphatic "Ew."

The Kardashians often reminisce about Robert fondly on their reality show, despite the drama. Kris Jenner, in particular, has been open about her regrets, admitting that her affair during her marriage to Robert was her "life’s biggest regret." The family continues to navigate their complex history with openness and honesty.
