During the season two premiere of the Hulu show, Kim, 41, stood to deliver a speech at a baby shower for her sister held at mom Kris Jenner’s home.
She flaunted her figure in a form-fitting blue two-piece set with her white-blonde hair hanging loose over her shoulders.
Kim grew emotional, choking back years as she spoke: “You have no idea how much love this baby is going to bring you.
“And I’m just happy that you’re finally getting to the place where you’re accepting this in your life because I just know that everything’s been so hard for you and that just makes me really sad for you – and there’s just no one that deserves happiness like you do.”
She went on: “Seriously, and if you can’t see it now – this baby is gonna bring you so much love and joy and happiness – into all of our lives.
“You’re not gonna remember what life is like without him. He will show you what real love is supposed to be like and that’s all that matters.”
Kim also cried in a confessional, revealing her wish for her sister in the future.
“I think my wish for Khloe is to not be so hard on yourself,” she said through tears.
“Everything will come to you and this baby is supposed to be here and he’s going to make you so happy and I’ll promise you, you’ll have everything that you want out of this life because no one deserves it the way that you do.”
While several viewers couldn’t help but notice that Kim appeared to be doing her now-famous “ugly cry,” others speculated that it was all for show.
FAKING IT
In fact, some claimed that the famous family and the network went to great lengths to make the emotion seem real.
In a TikTok video, a viewer filmed themself watching a scene showing Kim crying, pointing out what they claimed was a “fake tear” on her face.
“She doesn’t touch it! That’s a fake tear!” the fan yelled in the clip, which has more than 100,000 likes.
The scene in question was a confessional during which Kim’s eyes welled up with tears.
She appeared to wipe some of them away, but there was one she never touched – a detail the person who posted the TikTik claimed proves it’s true.
“Y’all please tell me you see this CGI tear on Kardashians,” they captioned the post.
One person seemed to agree, commenting: “… I had the same thought when I watched.”
“Honestly, who gets a tear in the center of their eye?” someone else questioned.
Not everyone was so convinced, however.
“Y’all literally watch everything they do just to find anything to hate over. Obsessed behavior,” one fan wrote.
Another commented: “Did you stretch before doing all this reaching?”
Critics have had a lot to say about the show so far, and only one episode has aired.
KEEPING UP
After the premiere aired, fans flocked to an online forum to discuss the seemingly vast timeline in the first episode.
Several seemed to think it was strange that the show kicked off where it left off, with Khloe having recently learned that Tristan Thompson fathered a child with another woman, and ended with the arrival of her son.
The Good American founder’s baby was born in August – only a few weeks before the episode aired.
Various viewers had different theories about why producers edited the show the way they did.
One speculated that Kim’s breakup with Pete Davidson, who will make his debut in the second season, was to blame
A user guessed: “I think the Pete break-up screwed everything up. They probably had more footage of them going to the Marilyn Monroe dress fittings, the MET, that white house event thing they attended…”
Someone else suggested: “… They did the whole Khloe thing to gather more viewers. Because really that’s all most people are looking for in season two. That and Kylie’s baby.”
