Khloé Kardashian Reveals Why She Hid First Skin Cancer Diagnosis From Family At 19
Shortly after her father Robert Kardashian's sudden death, Khloé found out she had melanoma. Khloé Kardashian hid her first melanoma diagnosis from her family following her dad Robert Kardashian's death. Attorney and businessman Robert – who was also father to Kourtney Kardashian, 46, and Kim Kardashian, 44, and Rob Kardashian, 38, whom he had with ex-wife Kris Jenner, 69 – died in September 2003, aged 59, two months after he was diagnosed with cancer in his oesophagus, when Khloé was aged 19. Shortly after Robert's sudden death, Khloé found out she had melanoma – the most dangerous type of skin cancer, which is primarily caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or sunbeds – but she kept it a secret because she 'didn't want to worry anyone" amidst her family's grief. Speaking on the latest episode of her Khloé in Wonderland podcast, the media personality recalled: 'My first bout of skin cancer, I was 19 years old. When you're 19, you don't really think about how scary things can be, so I don't remember a lot. I know my dad died when I was 19 of oesophageal cancer, and then months later, I found out I had skin cancer on my back." She added: 'I literally didn't even tell my family because I knew I just had to get this removed, and I'll be fine. I knew I was fine. Cancer is a really scary word. I was also 19, and you're nuts at 19 years old. I literally drove myself to the doctor, got all this skin removed, and that was it. [I] didn't think much about it." In October 2022, Khloé noticed she had a 'bump" on her face, and she initially thought it was 'cystic acne". The Kardashians star recounted: 'I was convinced it was that cystic pimple. It would not go away. I was trying to pick it, all these things. I think I messed around with it for over a year. I got facials. I would ask this person, that person, no one thought it was weird, it was my same skin colour. I do have a lot of beauty marks all over me, but they're brown. So I was like, 'Gosh, maybe this is a skin colour mole.' I didn't know what it was." Khloé got a biopsy to check it out before it turned out to be melanoma again. She added: 'So we cut it out, and within days they found out it was melanoma. I sent it to my other dermatologist, they analysed it, because it's on my face … where my cheek line is, they have to remove the tumour that's there. You also have to take enough skin, like healthy skin, around it to make sure the cells don't spread." And Khloé got a 'family friend" – who is a plastic surgeon – to treat it. She said: 'He removed the tumour, and the scary part is you don't know how much they need to remove until they start cutting into you. They think they're getting all the borders, but then they have to test it. We did it. Everything was perfect. He got all they needed the first time. So now I don't have skin cancer."

Kris Jenner shares SHOCK Father's Day post praising Kanye West, Caitlyn Jenner, and Tristan Thompson
Kris Jenner honored all the fathers in her life, including her exes Caitlyn Jenner and Robert Kardashian Sr. On Sunday, the matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner family, 69, gave a special shout-out to each one of the men that share children with her daughters Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe Kardashian as well as her youngest, Kylie Jenner. 'Happy Father's Day to all of the dads, step dads, grandfathers and father figures out there! You have shaped, supported, and loved us in so many ways and I'm grateful to have witnessed the love that each of you has for your children,' she captioned her post. The reality star continued: 'To my son, Rob… you were born to be a daddy and I am so proud of the father and the man you are. I love you! I wish all the dads out there a day filled with love.' The mother-of-six shares her eldest four children with her late first husband and youngest daughters Kendall and Kylie with Caitlyn, who she split from in 2015 after 22 years of marriage. Even her longtime partner, Corey Gamble, was included in her montage, which featured pictures of her daughters' exes Kanye West, Tristan Thompson, Scott Disick and Travis Scott. Kourtney's husband, Travis Barker, could also be seen in a sweet shot of him kissing their baby boy Rocky Thirteen Barker, 19 months. Fans of Kris took to the comment section to praise her 'very nice and inclusive' post. 'She didn't discriminate,' one Instagram user wrote, alluding to the behind-the-scenes drama with many of the men and her daughters, from cheating scandals to divorce. Another wrote: 'This post says a lot about you @krisjenner. You are a symbol of unity and positivity despite the challenges you've faced since being on our screens for more than a decade that we've watched your beautiful family.' 'Love how everyone is always included ♥︎,' a third praised. A fourth added: 'This is beautiful @krisjenner … despite all the drama they are still their fathers… he who has not sinned cast the first stone.' Others called the post 'pure class' and applauded how 'welcoming and accepting' her family is. Still, some questioned Kris' decision to include West, who has been involved in numerous public controversies, and Thompson, who cheated on her daughter Khloe multiple times. Fans of Kris took to the comment section to praise her 'very nice and inclusive' post 'Kanye? Really?' one asked. Another wrote: 'Get Tristan off this collage right now.' Kris has always tried to maintain close relationships with her children's exes by inviting them to family events and gatherings, even through their ups and downs of his past. She's even gone above and beyond to support them professionally, including calling ESPN to help Thompson get his gig with the network.

Kourtney Kardashian slams 'controlling and bossy' Caitlyn Jenner over step-parenting style
In a candid new interview with sister Khloe Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian Barker opened up about her rocky relationship with Caitlyn Jenner growing up - and revealed the tension was so intense, it led her to move out of the family home as a teenager. Speaking on Khloé's podcast Khloé in Wonder Land, Kourtney shared that she found Caitlyn - then Bruce, before her transition - 'controlling and bossy' as a stepparent, which ultimately pushed her to live full-time with her father, the late Robert Kardashian. 'I'd be like, "I wanna call my dad!" and then he'd, like, hang up the phone,' Kourtney recalled, using Caitlyn's old pronouns. 'We'd have yelling wars.' Kourtney was around 11 years old when Caitlyn married their mother, Kris Jenner, in 1991, shortly after Kris finalized her divorce from Robert. At the time, Kim was 10, Khloé was six, and Rob Jr. was just three. Kris and Caitlyn would go on to have two daughters together, Kendall and Kylie, expanding the already blended Kardashian-Jenner household. But while Khloé expressed appreciation for Caitlyn's approach to step-parenting, saying she 'never tried to be dad,' Kourtney's experience couldn't have been more different. 'Really, he tried to be dad for you?' Khloé asked in surprise, to which Kourtney replied, 'He tried to be controlling and bossy. Like, certain friends can't come over.' Kourtney went on to explain that it wasn't just Caitlyn's strictness that pushed her away - it was also the example set by her dad's then-fiancée, Denise, who she credits with showing her what a positive stepparent relationship could look like. 'Denise was our dad's fiancée for five years,' Khloé told listeners. 'We loved her, we still love her.' Kourtney agreed, adding, 'I think about what an amazing example she was to all of us. 'She taught us so much about being young ladies at the time. I think having that really positive experience with Denise really helped me, too.' Khloé admitted that she thought Kourtney's negative feelings had to do with thinking Caitlyn was trying to 'replace' her dad, but she said that wasn't it. She then also hinted that Kourtney's reaction might have influenced Caitlyn's later approach with her younger siblings. 'Maybe mom had a talk with him, maybe your rejection taught him something,' Khloé suggested. Ultimately, Kourtney revealed that her discomfort with Caitlyn's parenting style became too much to handle. 'That's why I moved into dad's,' she said. Kourtney has previously shared that she made the move when she was 16, with Kim eventually joining her. Their father, Robert, tragically passed away from esophageal cancer in 2003. Kourtney was 24 at the time. Kris and Caitlyn eventually separated in 2013, and Caitlyn came out publicly as transgender in 2015. Despite the family's evolution - and their many ups and downs - Kourtney's story is a powerful reminder that even under the same roof, childhood experiences can be profoundly different. 'See?' Khloé said during the podcast, clearly stunned by the revelations. 'You can live in the same house, be raised by the same parents, and have totally different experiences. I'm sorry you went through that.' 'Thank you,' Kourtney replied. 'It was fine.'

Kim Kardashian graduates from law school apprenticeship
NEW YORK — Kim Kardashian's legal ambitions are nearly a reality — now that the reality star has graduated from her law school apprenticeship. An insider told Us Weekly that the 44-year-old also has passed the bar prerequisite known as the multistate professional responsibility exam. On Wednesday, 'excited and proud' friends, family and legal mentors threw a surprise party for Kardashian in Beverly Hills, which the SKIMS founder initially believed to be a 'regular family brunch.' The accomplishment comes six years after Kardashian, who still needs to pass the bar to practice law in her native California, first made public her dream to practice law, which was revealed in Vogue's May 2019 cover story interview. Kardashian at the time said she 'aced' her torts test. In late 2021, she passed the 'baby bar' after three failed attempts, writing on Instagram: 'This wasn't easy or handed to me. 'I failed this exam 3 times in 2 years, but I got back up each time and studied harder and tried again until I did it!!! (I did have COVID on the 3rd try w a 104 fever but I'm not making excuses),' she continued. Kardashian's late father, Robert Kardashian, was one of O.J. Simpson's defense attorneys in his trial for the murders of ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, for which Simpson was acquitted. Months after announcing she'd passed the baby bar, Kardashian was declared legally single from Kanye West, and they settled their divorce in late 2022. But it doesn't seem like the 47-year-old controversial rapper, now legally known as 'Ye,' will be using his ex-wife's legal services any time soon, even as he faces mounting lawsuits for alleged antisemitic harassment of Jewish employees, copyright infringement, sexual harassment and 'real estate issues.' Sources revealed to Us Weekly earlier this year that Kardashian might file for 'full custody' of their four children.

Kim Kardashian graduates law school, following in footsteps of lawyer dad Robert Kardashian
Kim Kardashian graduated from law school, following in the footsteps of famous father Robert Kardashian Sr. The "Kardashians" on Hulu reality star revealed the news to fans by sharing videos of an intimate backyard ceremony surrounded by family and friends. Her late father was a defense attorney for the defensed in former NFL player O.J. Simpson's murder trial. The "All's Fair" actress took to her Instagram stories on May 21 to celebrate graduating from the four-year Law Office Study Program. "I finally graduated law school after six years!!!" Kardashian wrote over top of a video shared from sister Khloé Kardashian's footage of the event. In one video, the reality star's legal mentor Van Jones said, "I am trying not to get emotional, thank you Kim Kardashian." "Six years ago, seven years ago when you were working on criminal justice, you were not embraced by anybody," CNN commentator Jones said in the video. "You were working with people who were thrown away often by their own families. You were working with people who were literally one step from the grave." During President Donald Trump's first term in office, Kardashian emerged as one of Hollywood's fiercest advocates for criminal justice reform. In June 2018, following a meeting that May with Kardashian in the Oval Office, Trump granted clemency to Alice Marie Johnson who was serving a life sentence for cocaine trafficking. The 44-year-old announced on social media in December 2021 that she passed California's First-Year Law Students' Exam, better known as the "baby bar" exam. Celebrating the Skims co-founder's accomplishments was a family affair. Kardashian shared details from her graduation party, like her youngest son Psalm West dressed as a lawyer with a briefcase and lunch placemats depicting her flashcards from studying. In her own Instagram story video, Khloé Kardashian said, "I am so proud of Kim. I just left her celebration lunch for graduating law school, I mean, I cannot believe this is years and years in the making." Kourtney Kardashian Barker was also in attendance and reshared a video of her wearing a cap and gown captioned, "supportive sister." Kim Kardashian also shared an Instagram story with an image of her in her grad cap posted by Ivanka Trump, with a message that read, "Congratulations Kim! You did it! My favorite law school graduate!" Contributing: Hannah Yasharoff This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Kim Kardashian graduates law school
