Khloe Kardashian is the latest celebrity to reveal she had COVID-19 earlier this year.

Just like Khloe, Kevin Hart and other celebrities decided to wait until months later to admit their positive diagnoses, many citing they didn’t want to be blamed for taking attention from other causes or accused of wanting attention. The news of Khloe contracting Coronavirus was revealed in a clip for the upcoming episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. In the clip, momager Kris Jenner is seen stressed out, discussing her efforts to get Khole the best doctors she can find. This is rather difficult, as it seems Khloe had the virus when little was known about it and doctors were overwhelmed by the pandemic. The clip also shows Kim Kardashian nervously awaiting confirmation Khloe was positive.

“I mean, my gut tells me she does, just because she’s so sick. And, that really scares me for her, ’cause I can tell that she’s now getting scared and that she’s really nervous about it.”

Kim recently opened up about her experience taking care of Kanye West when he contracted COVID-19. On The Joe Rogan Experience, Kanye admitted he only had mild symptoms. Khloe’s situation seemed vastly different as she was vomiting, shaking, and had hot and cold flashes. She said she also had terrible headaches and chest burns from all the coughing.

“Let me tell you, that s— is real,” Khloe explained to fans while recording a cell phone video from isolation in her room.

“It’s gonna be fine, but it was really bad for a couple days.” “Vomiting and shaking… I suffer from migraines, but this was the craziest headache; I wouldn’t say it was a migraine. My chest would burn when I would cough.”

This news comes as Kim Kardashian is currently facing backlash over her private island birthday party where she revealed that she flew 40 of her closest family members out for a lavish tropical get-away.

“I realize that for most people, this is something that is so far out of reach right now, so in moments like these, I am humbly reminded of how privileged my life is,” tweeted Kim.

Some fans helped the eldest Kardashian remember that COVID cases are currently skyrocketing around the world. According to NPR, the U.S. is averaging about 72,000 new cases a day. One user even commented back at the star,

“Good for you. I lost four months of pay, still tied up with unemployment and have seen a significant drop in future earnings. I’m helping my daughters with childcare and virtual school for my granddaughter. Still haven’t gotten my 2019 tax return. Glad you had fun.”
