Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. On January 28, Khloe Kardashian posted a cryptic Instagram caption following a month of drama surrounding her ex, Tristan Thompson. “Betrayal rarely comes from your enemies,” she wrote alongside a slideshow of photos of herself wearing a curve-hugging bodysuit by SKIMS.
The post comes almost a month after Thompson, with whom Khloe shares a child, publicly apologized for fathering a child with another woman, fitness trainer Maralee Nichols. The basketball player admitted that Khloe doesn’t deserve the “heartache and humiliation” he has caused her. However, shortly following his lengthy apology, he was photographed cuddling with a new woman.
Khloe, who has had an on/off relationship with Thompson since 2016, reportedly felt crushed by the news. “After everything they have been through, he was still saying one thing and doing another. She knows she deserves so much better,” a source told E! News. The two reportedly had plans to reconcile and were even planning on moving in together.
But the reality star hasn’t been letting her relationship drama bring her down; rather she seems to have been letting out some steam at the gym, using the “betrayal” as motivation to push herself even harder.
On Monday, February 1, took to Instagram to show off her incredible progress, posting a before and after photo of her 3-month transformation. “About 3 months apart,” she wrote in the caption. “Let’s go @coachjoe.paris we are sculpting my back and arms.”
The photos show Khloe wearing similar outfits – high-waisted leggings and a sports bra – while lifting a barbell. Her back and arm muscles are significantly more defined in the most recent snap and her waist is more snatched.
It’s no surprise Khloe turned her hurt into motivation. The Revenge Body star often shows off her hardcore workouts and has previously described her fitness routine as “therapy.” In an Instagram Story posted last April, she said: “So, this is my therapy…I don’t think anyone works out better or stronger than someone that’s frustrated, angry, mad [or] determined.”
Khloe’s friends and fans seem to be happy to see the star thriving amid the scandal, as her transformation post is flooded with comments of praise and support. “I want what you have… persistence even after what others say or after all the shit you have been through. You’re my idol,” one follower wrote.
