Who died in The Kardashians?

At the end of The Kardashians season 3 episode 9, Kris Jenner says that it’s been a “rough week” in a confessional.

Kim adds that it was a “shocking way to start the new year.”

The show then cuts to a scene where Kris is crying and says: “…all of a sudden you’re stripped of a caretaker you’ve had your whole life.”

Khloe says in a confessional: “He was just like screaming on the phone, trying to tell me that she’s gone.”

The sad loss that the family is referring to on the show is that of Tristan Thompson‘s mother, the late Andrea Thompson.

Andrea passed away on January 5, 2023, from a heart attack. She was at her home in Toronto at the time of her death.
