A PRODUCER on The Kardashians has revealed all about the moment Khloe Kardashian learned of Tristan Thomspon’s love child scandal.
It was all captured on camera as the Hulu star discovered that Tristan had fathered a child with his mistress, Maralee Nichols.
Speaking to UsWeekly, The Kardashians Executive Producer Danielle King opened up about the moment that the shocking news broke.
It turns out that nobody, including 37-year-old Khloe and the camera crew, knew what was about to go down.
She revealed: “We were there to film something else early in the morning and the morning that news broke, we legitimately just happened to be there. We have that moment on camera.”
Danielle added: “We have a shoot scheduled five days a week, Monday through Friday. But that’s not always what we stick to.”
“Oftentimes on the weekend they’ll text or call or they’ll say something’s going on so my crew will rally and will get to whatever they’re doing. It’s a set schedule but we also leave a lot of room for spontaneity.”
Fans are yet to watch the drama play out on their screens, but a preview did show Kim Kardashian, 41, on the phone with Khloe as the news broke.
Danielle reassures fans that despite past accusations that the Kardashian family ‘set up’ scenes, what Hulu viewers will see was the real, heartbreaking deal.
“There were so many moments that we genuinely captured just because we’re almost always there,” she said.
“There’s almost always a camera going.”
Khloe has previously said that she feels “immune” to being filmed after her 15-year-long reality TV career.
But nothing could prepare her for the shocking news that her 31-year-old baby daddy had fathered a child with his mistress.
Fitness model Maralee, 31, had revealed in December that she’d given birth to a baby boy, Theo.
She had begun a long affair with the NBA star while he was still dating Khloe, who is the mother to his four-year-old daughter, True.
In January, Tristan revealed that a paternity test proved that he was Theo’s dad.
Addressing the KUWTK-alum, he publicly apologized: “Khloé, you don’t deserve this. You don’t deserve the heartache and humiliation I have caused you.”
In his statement, Tristan also promised his former mistress, “Now that paternity has been established I look forward to amicably raising our son.”
However, Maralee has claimed that the Chicago Bulls player is still yet to meet baby Theo.
