Did Kim Kardashian really suffer a brain aneurysm? Reality star blames ex Kanye West for health scare

Popular reality TV star Kim Kardashian was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm, and Kanye West might just be the cause. The seventh season of Hulu’s The Kardashians premiered on Thursday, October 23, 2025. In a snippet of the first episode, Kim Kardashian revealed that she was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm, adding that the doctor said stress could have been a cause of the problem.

In the season’s teaser, Kim goes to the doctor for a routine MRI when the “little aneurysms” are discovered.

“There's like a little aneurysm,” she told her sister Kourtney Kardashian in one of the clips.

The latter exclaimed, “Whoa.”

“They are like just stress and I'm like people think that I have the luxury of walking away,” she added.

In another clip, Kim told her mum, Kris, and younger sister Khloe that she was happy the divorce proceedings were over, claiming that the stress it caused led to her brain problem.

“This week has been the hardest week of my life. I'm happy it's over. My ex will be in my life no matter what. We have four kids together.”

In another emotional moment, Kim Kardashian questioned why some of these issues were happening to her.

“Last night I was like, ‘Why the f*ck is this happening?'”

According to TMZ, the 45-year-old mother of four also blamed Kanye West for her psoriasis, an uncomfortable skin condition she claimed to have developed after the stress of the divorce battle.
