Kim Kardashian’s Bizarre Ice Bath Shower Scene Sparks Controversy on The Kardashians
In a recent episode of The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian turned heads and ignited conversation with an unconventional bathing method. During a “camping” trip to Joshua Tree, the reality TV star opted for an ice bath shower, creating what her sister Khloe described as an “inappropriate” scene. The episode also featured Kourtney Kardashian discussing “baby brain” and Kris Jenner‘s emotional reaction to a medical incident involving Tristan Thompson‘s brother.
Luxury RV Trip Turns Rustic: No Shower in Sight
Kim Kardashian, 44, along with siblings Khloe, 40, and Kris Jenner, 69, embarked on a short RV excursion to Joshua Tree, anticipating a luxurious “camping” experience. However, upon arrival, they discovered the campsite lacked basic amenities, most notably a functioning shower.
“Never Felt Dirtier”: Kim Takes Bathing into Her Own Hands
After spending the day in the dusty desert environment, Kim expressed feeling exceptionally unclean. “I’ve never felt dirtier,” she declared, emphasizing her need to shower. Finding the RV also devoid of shower facilities, Kardashian ingeniously improvised a solution: a bikini-clad ice bath.
Khloe Kardashian’s Reaction: “Inappropriate” and “Porn-like”
Kim’s impromptu ice bath, however, did not sit well with Khloe. Observing her sister lathering herself with soap in the ice bath, Khloe deemed the spectacle “inappropriate,” going as far as to compare it to a scene from an adult film. Cameras captured the moment as Kim proceeded with her unusual cleansing routine.
“I Can’t Go To Bed Dusty”
“I’m feeling very dirty, and I can’t go to bed not having showered,” Kim asserted in a confessional segment. Kris Jenner’s suggestion to “jump in the pool” was seemingly disregarded as Kim focused on her ice bath plan. “I just couldn’t be able to fall asleep dusty. Like this is crazy,” Kim reiterated.
The Ice Bath “Shower” Unfolds
As Khloe and Kris watched, Kim cautiously approached the ice bath, initially startled by a small light fixture on the ground. After overcoming this minor obstacle, Kim shed her white robe, revealing a beige bikini top and SKIMS shapewear before entering the ice bath armed with a loofah and soap.
“Oh I feel so much better already,” Kim proclaimed after lathering herself.
Khloe’s Mockery and Unease
Khloe continued to express her bewilderment and discomfort. “Kim taking her bath with her loofa, like you just brought a loofa with you camping? Where did this come from? It feels very inappropriate,” Khloe commented in a confessional.
Mocking her sister’s bathing technique, Khloe added, “Me watching her feels inappropriate.”
“Either it’s the setup of a porn, or we’re gonna get murdered and someone has to be on high alert and I don’t feel like getting murdered,” Khloe quipped, highlighting her discomfort with the situation.
Kourtney Kardashian Discusses “Baby Brain” on Podcast
In another segment of the episode, Kourtney Kardashian and her business partner Simon Huck appeared on The Skinny Confidential Podcast. During the podcast, hosted by Lauren Evarts Bosstick and Michael Bosstick, Kourtney spoke about experiencing “baby brain” since the birth of her newborn son, Rocky.
“While the baby is sleeping, I’m just very efficient and on it these days, so that I can just get things done and go back into the bubble,” Kourtney explained. She also shared details about co-sleeping with her husband Travis Barker and baby Rocky, and revealed her childhood aspiration to become a fashion designer.
Kris Jenner’s Emotional Outburst During Medical Emergency
The episode also presented a poignant moment as Kris Jenner was overcome with emotion during a medical emergency involving Tristan Thompson’s brother, Amari. Amari, who has Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), a rare form of epilepsy, experienced a seizure during his 18th birthday celebration.
Following the passing of Tristan’s mother, Andrea, Tristan became Amari’s legal guardian. The family gathered at Khloe’s residence to commemorate Amari’s birthday when the unexpected seizure occurred.
Seizure Incident Shakes Kris Jenner
While the seizure itself was not visually depicted, Kris’s reaction was prominently featured. Witnessing Amari’s seizure for the first time left Kris visibly distraught, despite Khloe’s assurance that such episodes are a regular occurrence.
Visibly shaken and tearful, Kris was comforted by Khloe, who reassured her, “Amari will never be a burden or any of that. Amari is one of the most special souls I have ever met.”
Khloe further elaborated in a confessional, “When you meet someone who’s so wonderful, and something so terrible happens to them, you do want to help, you do want to fix it and be there as much as you can, and I think my mom feels the exact same way. She has such a connection to Amari.”
