Given all hed done to her, it wouldve been easy for Khloe to have stayed out of it.

But it came crashing down whenTristan was exposed for cheatingon Khloejust days before she gave birthto their daughterTruein 2018.
But determined to keep her new family together, Khloe and Tristan reconciled after Trues birth.
But history repeated itself when Tristan was caught in a cheating scandal withKylie Jennersbest friend,Jordyn Woods.
It would take years before Jordyn and Kylie would reunite publicly.

While fans felt bad for Khloe after Tristans first cheating scandal, thepublic reaction wasverydifferent this timearound.
Instead of taking accountability,she often framed herself as the victim.
But this just made people lose sympathy for her.
It felt like Khloe never really learned.
His first baby mama, Jordan Craig, and her family haveaccused him of being an absentee parent.
And to this day,Maralee Nicholsclaims Tristan has never met their son.
These are real children who are growing up without a father.
Even more, theyre her childrens half-siblings.
Her actions make it clear that shes complicit in reinforcing his role as an absentee parent.
And after all those public scandals, its understandable.
In recent years,Khloeseems more reclusive.
She rarely attends events or socializes outside the family.
Herrefusal to publicly dateor move on further fuels her image as stuck in the past.
What was meant to be a lighthearted scene left most fans confused and more than a little grossed out.
Thesearent just isolated incidents they highlight a pattern.
Can Khloe Make a Comeback?
If weve learned anything fromThe Kardashians,its that anything is possible in reality TV.
They dont need to be on super-friendly terms to be good co-parents.
If Khloe sets boundaries, it may help people respect her again.
Look at how it worked for Kourtney.
For years, she kept taking Scott back despite his infidelities.
But fans rooted for her when Kourtney broke up with him for good in 2015.
Kourtneysnarrative completely shifted when she started datingTravis Barker, becoming the sister with a loving, stable relationship.
If she revitalizes her public persona, people may remember why they loved her in the first place.
Fans miss Khloe’s realness and want a reason to root for her again.
A redemption arc is possible, and theres no better place for it than reality TV.
