In a recent revelation, Khloe Kardashian’s gynecologist has opened up about a significant error she made during the reality star’s labor with her daughter, True, back in 2018.
Dr. Thais Alia Bady, Kardashian’s OB-GYN based in Beverly Hills, shared her regret in an interview with The Cut, shedding light on the emotional turmoil that ensued from her mistake.
The incident took place when Dr. Bady mistakenly informed TMZ that Kardashian was in labor in Cleveland, a detail that stirred up quite a buzz.
At that time, Kardashian, now 40, was residing in Ohio while supporting her then-boyfriend Tristan Thompson’s NBA career.
The mix-up was not just a minor slip; it had the potential to become a major headline.
So, what actually went down?
Dr. Bady posted a seemingly innocent picture of herself in a hospital lobby, which, while not naming the facility, raised eyebrows given Kardashian’s imminent delivery.
TMZ quickly connected the dots, and the news spread like wildfire.
In her Instagram post, Dr. Bady expressed her love for her job, but the timing of her photo was unfortunate, to say the least.
Reflecting on the blunder, Dr. Bady described it as “very painful.” She immediately reached out to Kardashian, sending her an apologetic text.
Fortunately, Kardashian took the error in stride.
“Don’t worry, I saw your post; it was very innocent,” she reassured her doctor.
Fast forward four years, and Dr. Bady’s compassion shone through once again during a challenging period for Kardashian.
After the birth of her son, Tatum, in July 2022 via surrogate, Kardashian faced a whirlwind of emotions, particularly after news broke that Thompson had fathered a child with another woman, Maralee Nichols, around the same time.
During a recent episode of the SheMD podcast, Kardashian recounted a touching moment when Dr. Bady offered to help her cope with the aftermath of childbirth.
“You know what, I will take the baby home with me, and you can let me know when you’re ready to take him back,” Dr. Bady had said.
Kardashian was taken aback by such an offer.
“I thought, who does this?
Who even offers that?” she mused, acknowledging the unusual nature of the gesture.
Despite her initial hesitation, Kardashian ultimately recognized the sincerity behind the doctor’s words.
This candid exchange highlighted the bond that can develop between a patient and their physician, especially during life-altering moments.
It also underscored the challenges Kardashian faced as she navigated motherhood amid personal upheaval.
