The Kardashians: How The New Hulu Series Could Address Trauma
The upcoming premiere of The Kardashians promises to show a whole new side to the family, including unpacking the endless train of family trauma. The betrayals seem to keep stacking up for the Kar-Jenners. Hulu looks like the place where the family will dig deep and address some of the trauma they've faced over the years. There have been numerous relationship malfunctions for the family to manage during filming, and a clip in the new show's trailer hinted they would address it all.
Messy relationships defined The Kardashians' media journey from day one with Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian. Before Kourtney Kardashian's marriage to Travis Barker, she briefly contemplated a reunion with Scott Disick. When Scott broached the topic, she said, on Keeping Up With The Kardashians,«That's a lot of pressure. Can I get back to you?» Ultimately, Kourtney made clear to her family and the audience that there were specific steps Scott would need to take that he was well aware of for a romantic relationship to even be a possibility. With a history of alcohol and substance abuse, cheating, and a tendency to go rogue, Kourtney faced a lot of trauma with Scott. Then came endless Tristan Thompson cheating scandals, Kanye West's provocative and unfiltered media campaigns, and Caitlyn Jenner's blatant criticism of Kris Jenner after Caitlyn's transition. There's a lot to unpack, not to mention the less public but tumultuous relationship between Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott.
