Tearful Kim Kardashian Shares Doctors Found Brain Aneurysm

by

Kim Kardashian is speaking up about her health diagnosis.

In the next season of The Kardashians, the 45-year-old businesswoman and beauty icon will share details about a health issue she’s been facing.

In a preview clip from the show’s recent premiere on October 22nd, Kim revealed she was experiencing a small aneurysm. She explained doctors initially attributed it to stress, and the clip then showed her undergoing an MRI scan where the issue was identified. Her sister, Kourtney Kardashian, reacted with shock, saying, “Whoa.”

In one particularly emotional moment, Kim breaks down in tears and asks, “Why is this happening to me?”

Kim attributed some of the stress in her life to her divorce from Kanye West, which was finalized in 2022 after six years of marriage, and explained how it has affected her physical health.

Kim Kardashian noticed her psoriasis was returning while filming the season premiere, telling a producer, ‘I haven’t had a flare-up since my divorce, and now it’s just starting to come back.’ She added that it seems to happen whenever she’s feeling stressed.

Kim admitted she’s been under a lot of pressure lately. She’s dealing with a flare-up of her psoriasis and feels particularly stressed because she’s focused on protecting her children—North, 12, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6—who are becoming more involved in things.

The actress from All’s Fair didn’t share specific details about her struggles with the rapper known as “Famous,” but she did say it’s affecting their children.

She confessed that this was the first time one of her children seemed to understand what was going on. She’d managed to keep it hidden for a long time, and she realized she’d fallen into a pattern of feeling protective and responsible, almost as if she was defending the situation herself. This time, though, she didn’t feel personally accountable.

Honestly, all the rumors swirling around my ex and claims about not letting him see our kids have been incredibly stressful. It’s just added a lot of unnecessary pressure to my life, and I’m really trying to focus on what’s best for our children amidst it all.

She explained it’s frustrating because rumors spread online claiming she’s taking the children, even though their father hasn’t contacted her. She sees these claims on platforms like Twitter, and it’s upsetting since they aren’t true or logical. She feels she can’t constantly respond to all the misinformation.

She clarified, ‘This isn’t about someone taking the children; it’s a divorce. We haven’t moved away – we’re still at the same house, so he knows exactly where to find them.’

Ultimately, Kim had to find peace on her own after being unable do to so with her former husband.  

She told a producer she wasn’t concerned with the situation. She acknowledged it was very sad, but said she couldn’t dwell on it and needed to focus on other priorities.

As a huge fan of Nikki and her wrestling career, I was shocked to hear about what happened during her match with Piper Niven back in July 2025! Apparently, she took an elbow slam that caused one of her breast implants to shift. It’s crazy to think about something like that happening in the ring, and I really hope she’s fully recovered!

She reassured her sister, Bella Garcia, that they would get the issue resolved eventually. She explained to the doctor that as soon as her career was over, she’d return to address the problem and ensure everything looked its best, because she planned to pursue this further and couldn’t accept the current state of things.

Lupita Nyong’o received a diagnosis of uterine fibroids—non-cancerous growths in or around the uterus—in 2014, the year she won an Academy Award for her acting role in 12 Years a Slave.

She didn’t reveal her diagnosis until 2025, sharing on Instagram that she’d been privately struggling with it for over ten years.

She explained that many girls are taught to accept period pain as a normal part of being a woman. This often leaves them dealing with a common issue in silence and feeling isolated.

 

In July 2025, the actress from Daisy Jones & The Six revealed she’d been hospitalized for a hernia. This happened because she had been wearing pants that were too tight, which caused a gap in her abdominal muscles.

Someone messaged Suki on X (formerly Twitter) asking why she hadn’t been tweeting lately. Suki jokingly replied, explaining she’d been hiding a painful injury – a hernia caused by wearing very tight pants six months ago – and was afraid to mention it.

The former star of Beverly Hills, 90210 shared in April 2025 that he was recovering from surgery because his appendix was close to rupturing.

Brian shared in an Instagram video that he recently experienced stomach pain which led him to the emergency room. He explained that his appendix had a perforation – it hadn’t fully burst, but was very close to doing so.

He added, “I’m on the road to recovery. It’s not an easy process. This is my first major surgery.”

Oh my gosh, I was so worried! Our amazing midfielder for Racing Louisville actually collapsed early in the game against Seattle Reign on September 14th at Lumen Field. It was only a few minutes in, and I was just completely panicked watching it happen. I’ve been following her career for ages, and it was terrifying to see!

According to Reuters, the U.S. Women’s National Team player was seen slowly sitting down on the field with a teammate supporting her, before suddenly collapsing. Trainers were immediately called to assess her condition.

After receiving initial treatment from medical staff at the game, Savannah was taken to a nearby hospital for more tests. League officials reported she was in stable condition and fully conscious.

Adam Devine revealed that injuries from a childhood accident – he was hit by a cement truck at age 11 – continue to bother him now.

“It’s been incredibly difficult,” Devine shared on the In Depth With Graham Bensinger podcast in 2025. “I experience spasms all over my body, and doctors recently told me I was facing a life-threatening situation—within the last year, actually.”

He explained that his pain is intermittent, saying, “My body has a few quirks and isn’t quite working perfectly.”

A former contestant on The Bachelor went to the hospital in extreme pain, literally crawling because his back hurt so badly. The pain flared up during a road trip he was taking with a friend in an RV.

He described a strange tingling sensation that still lingered in his legs as of March 2025, sharing this on his Trading Secrets podcast. To give some context, he explained that just a few weeks or a month prior, he was able to squat 295 pounds. Now, he can’t even do a squat, can’t balance on one leg, and falls over. He compared the feeling to having had a stroke.

But with the help of a back specialist and some steroids, he added, “We’re on the mend.”

Gina Kirschenheiter from The Real Housewives of Orange County revealed that her ex-husband, Matt Kirschenheiter, had a heart attack in March 2025, but he is now doing okay.

In February 2025, the former Even Stevens star revealed she was shot in the face during a birthday celebration for her husband, Brendan Rooney. They were on a clay pigeon shooting trip when the incident occurred.

In an Instagram post, she explained that she was accidentally shot in the face by someone at a party. They fired a weapon unsafely, and she was hit five times. One bullet narrowly missed her right eye, coming within an inch of a direct hit. Brendan Rooney quickly helped her, evaluating her injuries and immediately taking her to the hospital.

The former Kim Possible star shared that a small piece of something got stuck behind her eye. Doctors have advised against removing it with surgery right now, and they’ll continue to watch her condition, as her vision is currently normal.

The actress expressed immense gratitude for surviving a frightening experience. She shared how much she loves her family and friends, emphasizing the importance of cherishing loved ones. She described feeling as though her life passed before her eyes, and urged everyone to hug the people they care about, because life can change unexpectedly.

Amy Schumer is grateful for the internet, surprisingly, because it helped her discover a health issue. After noticing people commenting on her “puffy” face during interviews, she was shocked when doctors began leaving comments suggesting she might have Cushing syndrome, a condition often caused by high cortisol levels or steroid injections. This prompted her to realize she’d been receiving steroid injections after a breast reduction and C-section. Schumer explained she wouldn’t have known about the condition without the online comments. Thankfully, doctors determined her case of Cushing syndrome would resolve on its own, which she described as “the greatest news imaginable.” She shared this relief in a February 2024 newsletter, happy to be healthy.

During a game in December 2024, an AHL player was accidentally cut in the face by another player’s skate and needed 25 stitches to close the wound.

In March 2022, Hailey Bieber experienced a frightening health scare while having breakfast with her husband, Justin Bieber. She suddenly began to have stroke-like symptoms, struggling to speak and noticing her face drooping. Although the symptoms eventually passed, she went to the hospital for testing. Doctors discovered she had a small blood clot in her brain, which they identified as a TIA, or transient ischemic attack. Further examination at UCLA revealed Hailey had a hole in her heart called a patent foramen ovale (PFO). This hole allowed the blood clot to travel to her brain, causing the TIA. Hailey has since undergone a successful procedure to close the PFO and is now doing well.

The same year Hailey faced a health issue, Justin also experienced one. In June 2022, he revealed he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which caused temporary paralysis on one side of his face. This forced him to cancel the rest of his Justice World Tour.

In a video posted to Instagram, Justin explained the condition affected the nerves in his ear and face, preventing him from blinking, smiling, or moving his nostril on the affected side. He also shared that it had become increasingly difficult for him to eat.

Fortunately, the paralysis eventually went away. Hailey shared on Good Morning America that Justin was recovering well, adding that while the situation was frightening and unexpected, he was going to be okay and she was thankful he was fine.

Jamie Foxx recently shared details about the health scare he experienced in April 2023, which he had initially kept private. In his 2024 Netflix special, What Had Happened Was…, Foxx explained that he was suffering from a severe headache when he suddenly lost consciousness. He doesn’t remember the next twenty days.

He initially saw a doctor who gave him a cortisone shot and sent him home, but his sister, Deidra Dixon, became worried and took him to the hospital. There, doctors discovered he had a brain bleed that led to a stroke.

Twenty days after surgery, on May 4th, Foxx woke up in a wheelchair unable to walk. He then traveled to Chicago for rehabilitation and therapy. He expressed his gratitude for the prayers he received, saying, “I needed every prayer.”

The reality TV star said she temporarily stopped breathing while running a mile during the first challenge on the NBC show.

She shared on the show Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser that her memory of the event was fragmented. She recalled hearing a helicopter, feeling like she was floating, and then seeing her grandfather. After that, she remembered only darkness, followed by light, leading her to realize she had died that day.

She explained that her organs were failing. She hadn’t known she had rhabdomyolysis, a condition where the body essentially starts to shut down.

Emilia Clarke, known for her role in Game of Thrones, revealed a harrowing health battle in a 2019 essay for The New Yorker. While filming the show, she experienced a sudden, severe headache while at the gym. She described collapsing and being violently ill, quickly realizing something was seriously wrong with her brain.

A hospital scan revealed she’d suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage, a life-threatening stroke caused by a ruptured aneurysm. She immediately underwent surgery to repair it, but the pain was excruciating. During her recovery, she temporarily lost her ability to speak, often muttering incoherently.

Though she was discharged after a month, a 2013 scan revealed the aneurysm had grown and required a second surgery. This procedure failed, causing a major bleed and putting her life at risk. Doctors had to perform a more invasive surgery, accessing her brain directly through her skull.

Fortunately, Emilia Clarke is now fully recovered and says she’s “at a hundred per cent.”

Cori Broadus, Snoop Dogg’s daughter, recently shared how thankful she is for her family’s support after a health scare. In January 2024, Cori suffered a stroke and immediately reached out to her loved ones. She told TopMob News that everyone quickly came to her aid.

Cori ended up staying in the hospital longer than expected due to additional health issues. She explained that while she could have gone home after the stroke, she was also dealing with complications from lupus and kidney problems.

Fortunately, Cori is now recovering well. She says she’s feeling great and is regaining her motor skills, and is otherwise doing fine.

Shailene Woodley struggled with her health throughout her early twenties. In a September 2024 podcast interview, she explained that she experienced hearing loss, debilitating fatigue, and persistent stomach pain. She saw many doctors who offered different diagnoses, leaving her feeling confused.

Determined to find answers, Woodley combined traditional medical care with holistic and herbal remedies, drawing on her background in herbalism. This search for well-being lasted for ten years.

The physical discomfort led to deeper issues, including fear of food and struggles with body image, identity, and feeling safe in her own body. However, after focusing on both her physical and mental health, Woodley is now doing much better. She happily reports that her health issues have resolved and she is currently very healthy.
