Imagine discovering a ticking time bomb inside your own head. That's exactly what reality star Kim Kardashian recently revealed she's facing: a brain aneurysm. But here's where it gets even more shocking—she attributes this potentially life-threatening condition to the stress from her tumultuous relationship with her ex-partner, Kanye West (now legally known as Ye). This bombshell dropped during the season seven premiere of The Kardashians on Disney+, leaving fans both stunned and concerned.
In the episode, Kardashian undergoes an MRI that uncovers a 'little aneurysm,' a swelling in a brain blood vessel. While brain aneurysms are relatively common—affecting about one in 50 people—they often go undetected unless found during tests for other issues. And this is the part most people miss: most aneurysms are small and symptom-free, but larger ones can cause alarming symptoms like severe headaches, vision changes, dizziness, facial numbness, and even memory problems. Thankfully, a burst aneurysm, which can lead to a brain bleed, is rare.
Kardashian didn't stop there—she also shared that the stress from her relationship with West triggered psoriasis and left her feeling trapped, almost like she had Stockholm syndrome. Controversially, this revelation comes on the heels of West's own public controversies, including his recent ban from Australia for a song glorifying Adolf Hitler. The couple, who share four children, separated in 2022 after eight years of marriage.
