Kim Kardashian recently opened up about a medical scare, revealing that doctors discovered a brain aneurysm, which she attributes to the stress experienced during her divorce from Kanye West.

During the season 7 premiere of “The Kardashians” on Thursday, the 45-year-old entrepreneur shared with her sister Kourtney Kardashian, 46, that a recent brain scan had detected a small aneurysm.

Brain aneurysms are serious medical conditions characterized by a bulge in a blood vessel wall. If an aneurysm bursts, it can lead to potentially fatal internal bleeding.

For aneurysms that are small and unruptured, doctors typically opt for regular monitoring rather than immediate intervention.

Kourtney was visibly taken aback by the news, placing her hand over her heart and responding with a surprised, “Woah.”

Kim later underwent an MRI, which displayed images of her brain, and she informed her sister that the medical professionals suggested the aneurysm was linked to stress.

While another clip showed her getting out of the MRI machine as she spoke about her stressful divorce from ex West, 48, with whom she shares her four kids.

After getting her MRI, a weeping Kim was then shown speaking to someone on the phone in another scene, as she asked, ‘Why the f**k is this happening?’

Approximately 6.8 million people in the United States have an unruptured brain aneurysm, or 1 in 50 people, according to the Brain Aneurysm Foundation. 

Around 30,000 people in the United States suffer a brain aneurysm rupture each year, and there are almost 500,000 deaths worldwide each year caused by brain aneurysms, with half the victims younger than 50. 

Women are also more likely than men to have a brain aneurysm. 

Most aneurysms are small, generally ranging from about one-eighth of an inch to nearly one inch in diameter. 

Kim and Kanye were married from 2014 until 2022, and share daughters North, 12, Chicago, seven, and sons Saint, nine, and Psalm six.

In a confessional, Kim told the cameras: ‘People think that I have the luxury of walking away. My ex will be in my life no matter what. We have four kids together.’

In another clip, a tearful Kim said, ‘I’m happy it’s over.’

She also told sister Khloe Kardashian, 41, and mom Kris Jenner, 69, on the phone: ‘This week has been the hardest week of my life.’

Elsewhere on episode one, Kim says that she hasn’t hade a psoriasis flare up since she’s gotten a divorce from Kanye, but now she’s filming Ryan Murphy’s show, All’s Fair, she’s been battling with outbreaks on her skin yet again. 

Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that primarily affects the skin. It causes a buildup of skin cells, leading to scaly, and sometimes itchy or painful patches. 

Talking about the divorce, Kim says she was ‘very tested.’ 

When she’s asked what’s going through her mind when she sees Kanye’s behavior — which has included publicly lashing out at her family, accusing Kim of keeping their kids away from him, and going on anti-semitic Twitter rants — she says ‘my poor kids.’

Kim added that everyone around her can handle the outbursts, but she wants to protect ‘my babies.’

She is seen FaceTiming with Chicago from her trailer.

She says she’s been able to hide what’s going on from her kids for so long and that she always felt like she had a little bit of ‘Stockholm Syndrome.’ 

Kim also hit back at his accusations of her keeping the kids away. The SKIMS founder said Kanye has never called and asked, and says it’s ‘not true’ and ‘not rational.’ 

The reality star added, ‘It’s a divorce, not a kidnapping’ before stating that they still live at the same address and he knows where the kids are at. 

Kim also revealed that she gets worried when it gets too quiet, as she fears Kanye might start having more public outbursts at any moment.

When asked if Kanye has ever apologized to her she says ‘no’ and that she’s ‘not looking for it’ adding, ‘I don’t care.’

She said the situation is ‘so f*****g sad’ but she has to stay strong for the kids.

She later confirms that all her feelings for her ex are gone when her sister Kourtney shares that Kanye’s ex Julia Fox will be in a new campaign for her brand Lemme.

Kourtney shares that Fox, who briefly dated the rapper, will promote a ‘libido gummy.’

She calls Kim to check and make sure that her sister is fine with it, and Kim says she ‘doesn’t care.’

Kim also made a defiant stance against the robbers who held her at gunpoint and stole $10 million worth of jewelry from her back in 2016 in a clip from the new season.

The star was seen returning to Paris, where the robbery occurred, and reliving the terrifying ordeal as she prepared to testify against the criminals.

But even though Kim admitted she was ‘terrified out of my f*****g mind’, she wouldn’t let her fear hold her back from being herself, after her mom Kris Jenner, 69, questioned whether she should be wearing diamonds to her courtroom showdown.

As Kim was getting ready for court, Kris walked in and asked if was a good idea to appear in court with all the glittering jewels Kim was wearing.

‘Do you think we really should walk in there with all the diamonds on? Should we rethink this?’ she asked.

‘No,’ Kim defiantly stated. ‘I wanna be who I wanna be. I feel like they took that away from me.’

Elsewhere she told her mom, ‘They’re saying I was asking for it’ and admitted the ordeal has ‘changed our lives forever.’

In the intro clip for the upcoming season, Kim shared, ‘I am terrified out of my f*****g mind’ before stating that she was told someone has put a ‘hit’ on her life.

The clip started with a dramatic car scene in Paris.

Kim was joined by mom Kris and her boyfriend Corey Gamble, 44, as they tried to flee mobs of photographers and fans.

Elsewhere, Kris is shocked at the crowds gathered outside of court. ‘Look at that,’ she says looking at the mob of people outside. ‘Look at these people. This just doesn’t feel safe.’

Kim is later seen walking into court as a news clip states that the suspects in the violent crime are now on trial.

The ringleader and seven members of a gang that tied up and robbed the billionaire reality TV star were found guilty by a Paris court in May.

They were found guilty of crimes including robbery in an organized gang, kidnapping, sequestration, acquisition and possession of weapons, assisting an armed gang, aggravated theft, and complicity in preparation of a criminal act.

Among the jewels Kim lost was a $4million engagement ring from her ex-husband, rapper Kanye, that has never been recovered.

During an emotional testimony to court, Kim said she had feared she would not survive the raid.
