Kourtney Kardashian Can’t Stand Tristan Thompson, And He’s Creeping Out … on November 3, 2023 at 9:19 pm The Hollywood Gossip
The Kardashians viewers have already heard about Kris Jenner’s greatest regret.
But she’s not the only — or the most egregious — cheater in the family.
That title belongs to the reigning champion, Tristan Thompson. His betrayals of Khloe went well beyond ordinary cheating.
Kourtney cannot stand to be in the room with the man who put her sister through hell. And neither can her daughter, Penelope.

On this week’s episode of The Kardashians, Khloe Kardashian called her eldest sister, Kourtney.
Kourt lounged on the most eye-catching (yet with its practicality undetermined) piece of modular furniture, the size of some small living rooms.
When Khloe mentioned that she and niece Dream Kardashian would be stopping by, she mentioned that Tristan was with them, too.

Kourtney then asked her daughter, Penelope, if she would still feel up for going out with family if Tristan was there.
From off-camera, Penelope replied: “Yeah, I’m fine.” She’s a very easy-going child, clearly.
Penelope is currently 11 years old. She would have been 10 (but just a few months shy of 11) when this episode filmed.

Having broached the awkward topic of Tristan, this left Kourtney alone in this colossal space to explain the situation to producers.
At first, she began to say that she doesn’t “know why” she, personally, reacts in sucha strong, negative way to Tristan.
But she does. And production reminded her of that.

“I feel like she gets it from me,” Kourt said of Penelope’s discomfort around Tristan. “I told her the first day of school, I was so triggered by him.”
Just a head’s up — Kourtney says “triggered” a bunch of times. It’s unclear if she is using the term accurately, to refer to something like trauma or OCD or something like that. She might simply be using the word to say “mad” or “upset.” (Helpfully, those are already words that exist, so you don’t need to misuse “triggered”)
“I feel like we all brush it off and are fine,” she admitted. “And then I was just so triggered and I was like, ‘I just can’t do it anymore.’”

“Tristan has made horrible decisions and choices with my sister,” Kourtney then royally understated.
“There’s times when I’m so triggered by him I can’t be around him,” she said.
“And then there’s times when I just let it go because we just want harmony,” Kourt explained. She continued: And, you know, he’s the father of my niece and nephew.”

Sure enough, Kourtney and Dream Kardashian arrived. Tristan was there, too, looking incredibly shirtless as he towered over everyone.
He walked over and gave Kourtney a side hug. She grudgingly accepted it, but did her best to keep him from mashing her face into his tattooed tiddy.
Viewers recoiled in discomfort from the display. Kourt and Penelope quickly busied themselves ignoring Tristan as much as possible.

However, Kourtney did end up graciously offering Tristan a tour of this sprawling house.
Noting that it was Good Friday and perhaps feeling that her personal religious beliefs prompt her to give people more leniency than they deserve, she acked as if everything were fine.
Couldn’t be me. Not after, at this point, five whole years since Tristan’s first (but not last) cheating scandal.

With her oversized shirt and bare legs and his shirtless torso and big shorts, they have exactly one outfit between them. (Image Credit: Hulu)
Significantly, Khloe doesn’t object to Kourtney giving Tristan the cold shoulder.
If anything, she feels even more strongly in favor of Penelope’s resentment.
(At least, that’s what she says in the confessional, and who am I to argue with a woman whose hair looks that good?)
Speaking to the confessional camera, Khloe Kardashian affirms that she doesn’t expect everyone to share her feelings about her serial cheating ex. (Image Credit: Hulu)
Khloe emphatically says that she is in a good place with Tristan.
No, they’re not together. We all hope that this remains true for the rest of their lives.
But they get along as co-parents, as friends, and as neighbors. It’s awkward, but better than being enemies.

But Khloe stressed that she does not expect other members of her family to share her feelings about Tristan.
Or to get along as well with him as she does.
That doesn’t seem to have always been the case. After all, Khloe has leaned heavily upon their family’s infamous solidarity over the past several years. But now? She’s cool with it.
Looking gorgeous while giving her confessional statement, Khloe Kardashian says that she’s happy that her niece has such a strong sense of moral clarity. (Image Credit: Hulu)
In fact, Khloe added that she finds it encouraging that Penelope, at only 10 years old, had such a strong sense of right and wrong.
There are families that force kids to spend time around toxic relatives whom they despise. This is unhealthy (and sometimes dangerous). It’s good that Kourtney gave her a choice.
Penelope and Kourt are right. Tristan sucks. He’s not evil, but his behavior is not that of a good dude.

AfriqueFest: Pan-African Musical Experience — World Cup Edition is set to take over Noto Houston on Sunday, June 28, bringing together East, South, and West African sounds in one immersive celebration of music, culture, and connection. Presented by Experience Noir and Bolanle Media, the event is designed as a cinematic night for the culture, blending global energy with Houston nightlife in a way that feels elevated, intentional, and deeply rooted in African creativity.
Spotlight on DJ Shinski
At the heart of this year’s experience is DJ Shinski. Born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya and now based in Houston, DJ Shinski has built an international name off high-energy sets that move effortlessly across Afrobeats, Amapiano, hip‑hop, dancehall, reggae, and electronic sounds.
He has also become Africa’s most‑subscribed DJ on YouTube, crossing the 2‑million‑subscriber mark and turning his mixes into a global destination for music lovers.
DJ Shinski’s style is precise but unpredictable: one moment it’s classic Afrobeats, the next it’s East African anthems, then a run of throwback hip‑hop or R&B that still feels fresh. That ability to read a room and connect multiple worlds in a single set is exactly why AfriqueFest is building so much of the night’s energy around him.
At AfriqueFest, DJ Shinski helps drive the Safari Grooves segment, representing East and Central Africa from 4 PM to 6 PM. Expect a journey that moves from Nairobi to Dar es Salaam, Kampala, Addis, and beyond, all filtered through his signature “vibes on vibes” approach behind the decks.
DJ Tunez and the rest of the night
Supporting that energy, DJ Tunez leads the Gold Coast Beats chapter from 8 PM to 10 PM, bringing his own Nigerian‑American Afrobeats pedigree to the stage. Together with the Diamond Rhythms segment (South) and a curated roster of DJs, the night stretches across the continent in three distinct musical chapters, all connected by a single dance floor.
Hosted by @chris_gone_crazy, @kingdrewwskyy, @roselynomaka, and @samsnewleaf, AfriqueFest is positioned as more than a party—it’s a celebration of sound, style, and Pan‑African identity in Houston, with DJ Shinski anchoring the experience from the moment doors open.
Brought to you by Bolanle Media & Experience Noir
Brought to you by Bolanle Media and Experience Noir, this World Cup edition of AfriqueFest is crafted as a night where global DJs, storytellers, and music lovers collide and create a shared cultural memory. With DJ Shinski front and center—and DJ Tunez helping close the night—guests can expect a show that reflects both the future of African nightlife and the power of the diaspora to create unforgettable live moments.
If you want to experience DJ Shinski live at AfriqueFest, now is the time to lock in your spot. Purchase your tickets now at AfriqueFest.com and get ready for a night of music, movement, and culture at Noto Houston.
Laughter Meets Inspiration: Our Ladies Show Lands on The Roku Channel
A bold new sketch comedy series for women premieres June 13 across the U.S., U.K., and Canada — arriving on the back of a festival-winning run that has critics and audiences already paying attention.
It isn’t every day a brand-new comedy arrives already wearing a row of trophies. Our Ladies Show does. The seven-episode inspirational sketch comedy series — created, written by, and starring Christin Jezak — begins streaming on The Roku Channel on Friday, June 13, 2026, available free to viewers in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada.
Produced in partnership with global media services leader Encompass Digital Media, the series sets out to do something rare in today’s streaming landscape: make women laugh out loud and leave them lifted. In a media moment crowded with noise and cynicism, Our Ladies Show is a deliberate counterweight — comedy with a conscience, built for women of every age and background.
A Show Built Around Real Life — and Real Laughs
Each of the seven episodes opens with a monologue from one of the cast members introducing the theme, then rolls into three or more sketches that hit the subject from every comedic angle. The series tackles the things women actually carry: holding grudges, comparison, beauty, patience, gift giving, the importance of community, and dealing with anxiety.
The comedy comes from a place of warmth rather than mockery — a “laugh at ourselves” spirit that runs through a gallery of unforgettable characters: a nosey neighbor, an overwhelmed mom, relentlessly optimistic flight attendants, beauty pageant winners past their prime, and a crew of unruly campers with a counselor who simply cannot hold it together.
Then the show does something most sketch series don’t. In the final segment of every episode, the cast gathers in a living-room setting and invites the audience in — sharing real inspiration drawn from the theme, the sketches, and their own personal stories. It’s the moment the laughter turns into something that stays with you.
The Women Behind the Show
Our Ladies Show brings together three performers with serious range:
- Christin Jezak — creator, writer, and star (Miracle at Manchester, Raising Hope, Jimmy Kimmel Live!)
- Hillary Hawkins — (Primal, Nick Jr.’s Play Along, Gullah Gullah Island)
- Sarah Hernandez — (Nefarious, Unplanned, House of Payne)
“In a world with so much division and depression, I hope women of all ages and backgrounds will watch this show, laugh, be reminded of how beautiful, unique, and loved they are, and remember how much we need each other.”— Christin Jezak, Creator & Star
Already a Festival Favorite
The series’ recurring long-form sketch, Neighborhood Watch, didn’t arrive quietly. Originally released as a web series and revamped for Our Ladies Show with new footage, sound, and music, it has been sweeping the festival circuit:
- 🏆 Best Webseries — 2026 New Media Film Festival (Los Angeles)
- 🏆 Best Web/TV Series — Paris Film Awards
- 🏆 Best Web Series — Dallas Movie Awards
- 🏅 Additional wins at the London Movie Awards, Florence Film Awards, and Hollywood Gold Awards
- 🎬 Official Selection — 2026 Harvard Divinity School Film Fest
- ⭐ Finalist — Houston Comedy Film Festival
- 📣 Three nominations — 2025 Content Christian Media Conference, including Best Actress in a TV and Web Series nods for both Christin Jezak and Sarah Hernandez
Where and When to Watch
Our Ladies Show premieres Friday, June 13, 2026, streaming on The Roku Channel — the home of premium and free entertainment — in the U.S., U.K., and Canada. All seven episodes deliver the series’ signature blend of sharp sketch comedy and genuine encouragement.

Most of the talk about Euphoria asks one question: was it realistic? That’s the wrong question if you make films. The better one is simpler. How did Sam Levinson get an audience to feel addiction from the inside? And what did it cost him to end the show the way he did?
Strip away the noise and Euphoria is a clinic in three choices: point of view, style, and the ending. Here’s what’s worth taking — and what isn’t.
1. Put the Camera Inside the Character
Most shows about drugs watch from across the room. Euphoria doesn’t. When Rue is high, the camera is high too. Walls breathe. Floors tilt. Time skips. You’re not watching her — you’re stuck inside her head.
That’s the lesson: point of view is a decision you make with the camera and the cut, not a mood you add later in color. Levinson builds it into the lens, the blocking, and the edit.
So before you shoot a scene through a character’s eyes, ask one thing on set: whose eyes is this lens standing in for? Then make every cut respect that.
2. Your Style Has to Mean Something
The glitter. The slow push-ins. The impossible club lighting. Euphoria‘s look got copied everywhere. That’s the trap.
The style worked because it carried weight. The beauty wasn’t decoration — it was the lie addiction tells you, the reason the next high looks worth it. The camera made self-destruction gorgeous on purpose.
The copies missed that. A thousand music videos took the look and left the meaning behind, and you can feel how hollow they are. So here’s the test: if your signature style could be swapped onto any other project and still “work,” it’s not a style. It’s a filter. Every choice should have a reason behind it.
3. The Ending Tells the Audience What It All Meant
When Euphoria ended for good in Season 3, Levinson killed Rue — an accidental, fentanyl-laced overdose. He called it “the honest ending,” saying he wanted to tell a true story about addiction and grief in a time when one mistake can be the last one. Reportedly, that wasn’t the original plan; the death of Angus Cloud, who played Fezco, changed the script.
Forget whether you agree with the choice. Study how it works. An ending is the last instruction you give your audience about how to read everything before it.
By ending on consequence instead of recovery, Levinson reframed seven years of beautiful chaos as a story about cost — not a celebration of it.
It’s also the show’s most debatable move, and that’s worth noticing too. A show that spent years making pain look beautiful had to fight to make that pain land as loss. Did it earn the ending, or enjoy the wreckage too long to stick it? Smart filmmakers will disagree — and that argument is exactly what a good ending is supposed to start.
What Not to Take
The neon grief is the most copied part. It’s also the least useful. Take the surface — the colors, the slow-mo, the trauma-as-texture — and you get the costume without the body.
The real craft is underneath. Commit your camera to a real point of view. Make every stylistic choice earn its place. Treat your ending as the point of the whole thing. Do that, and your work won’t look like Euphoria. It’ll do what Euphoria did.
This piece touches on addiction and substance use. If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available through the SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357.
