Kim Kardashian is sharing a shocking diagnosis, and she isn’t holding back about what she thinks triggered it. In a preview teaser clip for the upcoming season of her Hulu reality series, The Kardashians, the 45-year-old mother of four is seen entering an MRI scanner, later telling her family (via PEOPLE):
There was a little aneurysm.
Kourtney Kardashian’s wide-eyed response of “Whoa!” captures the seriousness of the moment. Kim Kardashian revealed that doctors attributed it to stress, saying, “They were like, ‘Just stress.’ ” After disclosing the aneurysm, the clip shifts to a tearful Kim K reflecting on her divorce from ex Kanye “Ye” West, the father of her four children, saying:
I’m happy it’s over. My ex will be in my life no matter what. We have four kids together.
However, not everyone is convinced. Fans flocked to X to voice skepticism, with some questioning whether the divorce alone could trigger a brain aneurysm. Let’s read a few fans’ comments:
That’s not how an aneurysm works but blame the black guy of course 😒
Well, Kim finally found a way to make stress headline-worthy , hope she’s staying cool and avoiding any more “brain storms”!
Divorce stress aneurysm? Kim's got the resilience of a Kardashian empire, but Ye's unhinged rants as the trigger? That's the real plot twist. Heal up—fame's fallout is deadlier than any filter.

Kim Kardashian Reflects on Toxic Relationship With Kanye West: What Went Wrong?
In an October 15 appearance on Call Her Daddy, Kim Kardashian revealed she left her marriage to Kanye West to safeguard her mental health and to set a positive example for her four children:
Once my mental health starts to get affected and then I can’t parent the way that I need to and I can’t be present and focused, then there’s gotta be one of us that can. I had to save myself in order to be a better mom for everyone. And I think, when everyone’s older, they’ll be able to understand it.
Since the split, Kardashian has steered clear of walking into the same fire again. She admitted there may have been red flags early on regarding Ye’s mental health, but her first instinct was always to lend a helping hand:
When someone has their first mental break, you wanna be super supportive and you want to help figure that out. You want to really get into that with them and be there for them.
Yet, when West resisted change, Kim K knew the relationship was unsustainable.
When you have kids, it’s definitely harder to leave than it is to stay. And it changes everyone’s life forever.
She also admitted feeling unsafe at times, emotionally and financially.
Just not feeling safe not even physically, just maybe emotionally or even financially. I would come home, and we had five Lamborghinis, and I’d come home and they’d all be gone if he was in an episode.
Ye has publicly discussed his bipolar diagnosis (via USA Today), and his erratic behavior has led to multiple lawsuits and public outbursts. Kim K admitted, “I didn’t know what you’re gonna get when you wake up. And that’s a really unsettling feeling.”
Kim Kardashian’s ‘Little Aneurysm’ Explained: Causes, Risks, and Is It Deadly?
During the Season 7 premiere of The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian revealed doctors discovered a “little aneurysm” in her brain after an MRI scan.
A brain aneurysm is a weak spot in an artery in or around the brain that bulges with blood. Many people remain unaware of its existence until a rupture occurs or a scan detects it. In the U.S., about 6.8 million people, or roughly 1 in 50, have a brain aneurysm, though most are asymptomatic.
Symptoms can include pain above or behind the eye, vision changes, numbness, or seizures. Often, the first sign is a rupture, causing severe headaches, stiff neck, nausea, vomiting, confusion, blurry vision, and balance issues (per Johns Hopkins Medicine).
According to the Mayo Clinic, while most aneurysms remain harmless, a ruptured one can lead to hemorrhagic stroke, which is fatal in roughly half of cases. Of survivors, around two-thirds suffer permanent neurological damage (per the Brain Aneurysm Foundation). Approximately 30,000 Americans experience a ruptured aneurysm annually, while globally, brain aneurysms account for nearly 500,000 deaths each year, half of whom are under 50.
Risk factors include genetics, pre-existing vascular conditions, smoking, high blood pressure, heavy alcohol use, drug use, and head injuries. Women between ages 30-60 are most commonly affected. While stress doesn’t directly cause aneurysms, it can elevate blood pressure and weaken vessels over time, potentially contributing to the formation or rupture.
Treatment depends on size and severity. Will Kim Kardashian’s courage encourage others to prioritize self-care over societal expectations? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
