I know how these things go.'”

She called her mom after her home alarm was triggered, panicking that an intruder could harm her dogs, including Norman. “Normy! What if they do something to Norman,” she cried. Kris offered to go check on the house as she was close by at the time, but her boyfriend, Corey Gamble, pleaded with her to stay away for the sake of her safety. “I’m the one that [knows] how to defend myself, you do not. So let me handle it,” he said.

In particular, internet users seemed to take issue with a tweet Khloé sent saying Jordyn was responsible for breaking up her family. “It just sucks it has to be so public. Because no one understands that I’m not just a TV show. Like, this is my life, and it breaks my soul and it’s happened so many times,” she told the camera through tears.

“The world took that so literally,” she said about her tweets about Jordyn during a conversation with Kim. “I would never blame solely one person for that.”

While Kim, Kris and Khloé were on an Asian getaway in a 2014 episode, Rob was back home contending with personal issues. “It’s the worst feeling in the world when one of your kids isn’t in a good place. And I think about it all the time.

I feel sometimes like the weight of the world is coming down because I can’t micromanage everything.”
