'Ozempic Butt': What To Know About This Side Effect You May Experience While Taking Weight Loss Drugs
Rumored to be used by many celebrities, semaglutide, sold under the brand names Ozempic and Wegovy, has become a popular weight loss tool.
The drug acts as an appetite suppressant and can trigger extreme weight loss. But as the pounds melt away, some people are noticing a loss of volume and a decrease in skin elasticity in the curvier parts of their bodies.
In fact, you may have heard of 'Ozempic Face,' a side effect associated with extreme weight loss while taking these medications which is characterized by saggy drawn skin after weight loss.
Now, a similar side effect is gaining traction, which has been dubbed 'Ozempic Butt.'
Also known as 'Wegovy Butt,' 'Ozempic Butt' is characterized by sagging skin that can develop as a result of extreme, rapid weight loss while taking these drugs.
This can give areas of the body a looser, 'deflated' appearance, particularly in curvier areas of the body.
However, it's important to note that this is not a direct side effect of the medication, but rather losing an extreme amount of weight over a short period of time.
"While the term 'Ozempic Butt' may be new, the concept of being left with sagging skin after rapidly losing a large amount of weight is not," says Jana Abelovska, superintendent pharmacist at Click Pharmacy.
Abelovska isn't' surprised that many people are experiencing this side effect when using Ozempic and Wegovy injections, as the drug can cause rapid weight loss, particularly, she says, if you've just started using it.
To understand why this happens, Abelovska says you need to understand how the drug works.
"On the surface, Ozempic may appear to be an appetite suppressant, as semaglutide tricks the brain into thinking the stomach is full when it isn't," she explains.
However, there is more to it than that. While a decrease in appetite is partially responsible for rapid weight loss, Semaglutide also changes the way in which the body processes hunger.
"It actually alters your body's metabolism, and prevents your brain from sending out hunger signals that make you feel hungry, and thus want to eat," Abelovska points out.
When used for weight loss, Abelovska says you're likely to see results very quickly as your hunger responses are being blocked. However, our bodies take a little while to catch up.
"When we gain weight, this is done gradually which gives our skin the time to expand and stretch to accommodate the extra weight," she explains.
"Our skin is actually surprisingly elasticated, thanks to its elastin and collagen makeup, which is what makes it able to revert back to normal after stretching to accommodate a pregnancy, for example."
"But if you lose weight too quickly, your skin will remain at its looser state, rather than instantly returning to its pre-weight gain state, particularly if you have been overweight for several years," Abelovska added.
This is why, after significant weight loss, you might experience saggy skin in certain areas of your body.
Abelovska says curvier regions, like the abdomen, butt, thighs, and cheeks, are the most prone to this side effect.
Not everyone will experience saggy skin on their butt, or indeed any other part of their body, after losing a significant amount of weight.
In fact, the likelihood of saggy skin is dependent on several factors, like your age, how much you weighed before you began to gain weight, and how long you've been living with obesity or overweight.
Generally speaking, how active you are won't play a role in how likely you are to experience sagging skin. However, Abelovska says it can certainly play a role in reducing the sagginess after the weight has been lost.
"As mentioned before, our skin is very elasticated – however, this natural elasticity does decrease with age, meaning that our skin doesn't retain its shape quite as well when we get older. That's why if you're using Wegovy or Ozempic in your younger years you're less likely to see significant loose skin in comparison to someone who uses it in their older years," she points out.
Add to that, the more weight you have gained, the more your skin will have stretched, and therefore, the more likely you are to be left with loose skin after weight loss.
"Similarly, a patient's skin may struggle to return to its normal state if they have been overweight for a significant period of time," Abelovska adds.
"If someone is using semaglutide and they have only been overweight for a short period of time, it's likely that their skin will be able to bounce back more quickly as it hasn't been held in a stretched state for as long as someone that has been overweight for a long time."
You may experience a number of other side effects while taking weight loss medications like Ozempic and Wegovy. These can include:
So, if you have sagging skin after weight loss, what can you do to treat it?
According to Dr. Grace Hula, aesthetic doctor and founder of G&M Healthcare, there are lots of ways to rectify the problem.
She recommends skin tightening treatments like LPG Endermologie which should ideally be used as soon as you start losing weight.
"Other possible treatment solutions are having a Brazilian butt lift with dermal fillers," she adds. However, Hula advises giving your body some time to adjust after weight loss before considering treatment.
"In some cases, saggy skin can correct itself if patients maintain their new weight over a long period of time, for example, a year or more," she points out.
Abelovska says your doctor may recommend a skin removal surgery to take some of the skin away if there is an excessive amount of loose skin. However, she says this will only be advised if absolutely necessary after other methods have been used."
Surgical and non-surgical options aside, there are many ways to address sagging skin at home as well.
"Exercising is one of the best ways to help your skin return to normal after losing weight. In particular, patients should regularly use exercises such as weight-lifting and resistance training," says Abelovska.
This, she explains, not only builds muscle that will fill some of the space left behind after losing weight, but it can also promote more elasticity in the skin which will aid it in bouncing back.
In addition, Abelovska says staying hydrated can keep the skin looking plump, while eating a diet that is high in Vitamins A, C and E can increase collagen and elastin, giving your skin more 'bounce'.
Ultimately, we're still learning about the side effects of these medications as a weight loss tool. Aside from 'Ozempic Butt,' known side effects of these drugs can include:
Losing weight too quickly can also be dangerous. Abelovska notes that rapid weight loss is associated with an increased risk of:
If you're looking for a way to lose weight, it's best to consider the pros and cons before choosing medications.
"If you're hoping to use Ozempic or Wegovy, you should make yourself aware of all of the potential side effects to avoid feeling disappointed about 'Ozempic butt' or other similar instances after you've lost weight," Abelovska advises.
Christian Bale's Extreme Weight Loss For 'The Machinist' Once Worried His Wife
Christian Bale is known for pushing his body to the limits for the sake of doing his characters justice. But in a film where Bale might have pushed himself a bit too far, his wife had a difficult time watching his drastic transformation.
Christian Bale's extreme weight loss for 'The Machinist' concerned his wife
Christian BaleAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic Audiences saw what Bale was willing to do to inhabit a role in his 2004 film The Machinist. The movie saw The Dark knight star playing a factory worker grappling extreme insomnia. To properly portray the physically and mentally disturbed character, Bale slimmed down to 121 pounds. To achieve this feat, Bale once told Radio Free he put himself on a diet where he ate practically nothing.
"My daily thing was generally like a bit of a coffee and an apple if I felt like it. Well, I had to eat the pie in the scene, and then there was a scene eating chicken as well," he said. "But I tried not to swallow. Because it's amazing how you can literally just have a couple of bites of something and your face will expand again if you're really at that low point."
Many were concerned about Bale's methods, however, with some insisting the actor to visit a doctor during this intense period. But perhaps the one who displayed the most concern about Bale's well-being was his wife Sibi Blazic, who had to watch Bale waste away up close. But Bale assured his partner that if he ever truly put his health at risk, he'd abandon the project.
"It was tough. Although my wife was with me the whole way, so it was a gradual decline, it wasn't very pleasant for her to be around and witness. She did get pretty worried, and I promised her that if I ever felt something bad might happen, I'd just quit," he once said according to Female First.
Why Christian Bale didn't use CGI to achieve his look in 'The Machinist'Bale initially didn't set out to lose all the weight that he did for The Machinist. The actor confided that he did what he felt was necessary for the character, but soon found himself going overboard.
"He read to me as though he should look as though he was on the brink of death. And I didn't set out to actually go as skinny as I did," he explained. "I just found that I was being somewhat more successful at it than I had imagined. And I actually ended up being able to get to the weight that was specified in the script, which I never really thought was going to be possible at all."
Others suggested Bale could've used CGI to achieve the desired appearance. But Bale didn't trust the technology at the time to offer audiences a reliable image of his character. Aside from that, the Oscar-winner's extreme weight loss actually came with a few benefits.
"It ended up being a very nice place mentally to be when you get that skinny. Man, you're calm, you know? Because you just can't waste any energy whatsoever. So you just do what's necessary. I was incredibly happy," he said.
Christian Bale thought losing weight for 'The Machinist' was worth itThe Machinist wasn't the most popular film back when it first hit theaters. But despite it not being as popular as Bale's other films, Bale didn't regret going the distance for his role. Instead, he believed losing all of that weight was worth it.
"I understand that a number of people have also said to me, 'Well, this isn't going to be a mainstream movie. You're not going to get many people to go and see it. So why did you do it?' Well, look, it's not for that," Bale once told MovieWeb. "To me a movie doesn't become better just because a lot of people go see it at all. My primary satisfaction for making movies is actually in the making of the movie. So in those terms, absolutely, I feel like it was worth it."
Kim Kardashian And Khloe's Extreme Weight Loss Addressed On New Season Of Show
Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian's extreme weight loss transformations were briefly addressed during the premiere episode of The Kardashians season three on Thursday.
During a hangout at Khloe's Hidden Hills home, Scott Disick tells the ladies how 'good' and 'tiny' they're both looking.
He then asks Kim and Khloe — both of whom are recently single — if their drastic shrink downs are the result of 'break-up diets.'
'Break-up diets?' Kim exclaims, before giving Scott a funny face.
Kim's last dated SNL star Pete Davidson for nine months while Khloe parted ways with her philandering ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson in 2021 after learning he'd secretly fathered a child with another woman.
Though there have been rumors that she's rekindled their controversial romance for the third time.
Shrinking sisters: Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian 's extreme weight loss transformations were briefly addressed during the premiere episode of The Kardashians season three on Thursday
The sisters' bodies have gone through major transformations over the past years, which has led to accusations that the duo are taking Hollywood' hottest weight loss drug Ozempic.
Ozempic is manufactured by Danish pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk and costs around $900 per dose.
The injectable version can be used on the stomach, thigh or arm, and it quickly works to suppress a person's appetite, which can be useful in allowing them to shed weight.
It is currently only approved by the FDA as a type 2 diabetes treatment, but many medical providers have begun prescribing it off label as a weight-loss drug recently, and it has skyrocketed in popularity among wealthy customers looking to slim down.
However, the rush of rich people looking to buy the drug has created shortages that harm diabetic people who most need it for their health.
Khloe has slammed claims that her or any of her sisters have used the medication to achieve their incredibly svelte figures.
'Let's not discredit my years of working out,' commented Khloe in response to an Instagram troll who called her body 'skinny' and 'disturbing.'
She continued: 'I get up 5 days a week at 6am to train. Please stop with your assumptions.'
Kim faced backlash last year after she admitted to dropping 16 pounds in just two weeks in order to fit into Marilyn Monroe's dress for the 2022 Met Gala.
Kim insisted that she 'didn't do anything unhealthy' to achieve her goal.
She compared her transformation to that of Christian Bale's drastic weight loss for his supporting role in The Fighter (2010), which earned him an Oscar.
She ended up losing five more pounds in the weeks that followed — bringing her total weight loss to 21 pounds.
While appearing on TODAY last year, the mother-of-four said the experience 'taught me a lot about my lifestyle and my health' and that she 'more energy than ever.'
She revealed to hosts Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie that she completely cut out sugar, junk food and fried foods from her diet.
Like Khloe, Kim also partakes in daily 5AM workouts with her fitness trainer Melissa Alcantara and has committed herself to 'no days off.'
Back in August, Kim took a test to measure her bone density and body fat percentage, revealing she is in the athlete category.
The tests showed that she had reduced her body fat percentage from 25% in May 2021 to 18.8%.

'Break-up diets?' Kim exclaims, before giving Scott a funny face
In Thursday's The Kardashians episode, Kim calls back to her nine-month romance with Pete.
'I'm single,' she tells the camera reluctantly, after producers reminded her that she was in the throws of love in season two.
She continues: '…and I'm not ready to mingle and that's ok.'
'So, how are you feeling [about] the first breakup since being married,' asks Scott of Kim's split from Pete.
Fans will remember that Pete was Kim's first boyfriend following her shock divorce from controversial rapper Kanye West, 25, in February 2021.
She began dating Pete that October and the romance sparked a fire inside Kim's ex, who waged an online war on the comedian.
Despite this, Kim and Pete continued to date until August 2022.
'Breakups are just not my thing,' Kim replies.
'Are they anybodies thing?' Says Scott.
Kim elaborates: 'It's just that I'm proud of myself.'
The SKIMS founder revealed that she and Pete had 'talks and talks' about calling it quits.
'We'd been talking about it. So it was just both of us just, like, communicating really well about it,' she explained. 'It's obviously sad.'
'How long were you guys together?' Scott asks.
Nine months. That's like a long time. I don't have random hookups and relationships, you know what I mean? And everything I've been in is kind of like a longtime.'
Kim also says that she was plagued by a lot of guilt over what Pete had to endure during their time together — alluding to her ex-husband's online abuse.
'There was a lot of guilt. He went through a lot because, you know, my relationship,' she tells Scott and Khloe.
The sisters' bodies have gone through major transformations over the past years, which has led to accusations that the duo are taking Hollywood' hottest weight loss drug Ozempic — though they've both denied it
Before: Kim, who calls herself a 'shapeshifter', is pictured here in a candid snap in 2017. Khloe is pictured right in 2018
Khloe has slammed claims that her or any of her sisters have used drugs like Ozempic to shed pounds, instead she credits strict exercise routines and diet
Kim faced backlash last year after she admitted to dropping 16 pounds in just two weeks in order to fit into Marilyn Monroe's dress for the 2022 Met Gala
'Sometimes I'm like, 'Who is ever gonna wanna date me? I have four kids. I'm in my 40s.',' she admits in confessional. 'Who wants to deal with all the [drama]?'
Despite the intrusive thoughts, Kim knows that her 'person' won't be deterred by her extraordinary life.
'My person will be like, 'F**k all that! Like, it's gonna be hard but we're together! And like, we're gonna do this,' she imagines.
'I'm just waiting for that person.'
Scott then changes the subject by asking Khloe about her newborn son, who is reportedly named 'Tatum.'
She tells the duo that she feels 'guilty' over her lack of connection to her son and wishes people were more 'honest' with her about the realities of surrogacy.
Khloe admits that she felt the entire experience was 'transactional.'
Khloe's baby boy was born via surrogate last July and he is the second child she shares with philandering ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson.
The Good American founder, 38, learned just weeks after they went through with the embryo transfer in November 2021 that he'd secretly fathered a child with fitness model Maralee Nichols.
Khloe recalls just how 'hard the surrogate process' was for her, with Kim adding that her sister had 'a hard time accepting' it all.
'It was a mindf**k,' Khloe remarks. 'It's just the weirdest thing.'
'I do think there is a difference when the baby is in your belly, the baby actually feels your real heart. There is no one else on this planet who will feel you from the inside like that,' explains Kim, who used surrogacy for two of her four pregnancies.
'People can connect in different ways, some cannot connect.'
Scott asks Khloe: 'So do you feel less connected?'
Khloe reluctantly admits to the disconnect but also acknowledges that people have told her it can take time.
Khloe does appear to envy the fact that Kim had an 'easy' time connecting with her two youngest children born via surrogacy.
'I definitely buried my head in the sand during that pregnancy and that I didn't digest what was happening,' Khloe explains in confessional.
'So I think when I went to the hospital, I really think that was the first time that it really registered,' she explains.
Khloe insists that her feelings have 'nothing to do with the baby,' but more so the circumstances and how it felt 'transactional' to her.
'You're just like, "Ok, we're having a baby and this is my son and I'm taking him home with me,"' she explains.
'I definitely was in a state of shock from my entire experience. I felt really guilty that this woman just had my baby and I take the baby and I go in another room and we are sort of separated.
'I felt that it was such a transactional experience because it's not about him.'
All in all, Khloe says that she wishes she had known more about surrogacy and the complexities of if.
The SKIMS founder reveals that she and Pete had had 'talks and talks' about calling it quits before deciding to go through with it last August
'How long were you guys together?' Scott asks
'Nine months,' Kim replies. 'That's like a long time. I don't have random hookups and relationships, you know what I mean? And everything I've been in is kind of like a longtime'
In confessional she admits to sometimes being concerned about how her romantic life will be moving forward
Hopeful: Despite the intrusive thoughts, Kim knows that her 'person' won't be deterred by her extraordinary life and, instead, will prove to be a supportive force
'I wish someone was honest about surrogacy and the difference of it. It doesn't mean it's bad or good. It's still great. It's just very different.'
Khloe also takes fans a long as she embarks on a 'really scary' journey after discovering a suspicious bump on her face that turned out to be melanoma.
Khloe — who is predisposed to the skin cancer — is asked about the 'band-aid on you face' by Scott during their hangout with Kim.
She tells the audience that she had a bump on her face biopsied after keeping an eye on it for 'seven or eight months.'
'I am just waiting for the results,' says Khloe.
She remarks that the ordeal is just another blow following her ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson's paternity scandal as well as the issues she's had connecting with their newborn.
Khloe's mom Kris reveals the results of the biopsy while speaking to younger daughter Kylie Jenner at a party celebrating Kendall Jenner's 818 Tequila line.
She pulls the Kylie Cosmetics founder aside and tells her that the bump is cancerous.
'I'm just a little worried and now she has to have it removed,' Kris whispers.
'Wow,' Kylie reacts.
Kris says that Khloe has a 'history of melanoma and cancerous legions' so this latest bout on her face is 'very concerning' to her and the family.
'You have to go in and you don't know how much of your cheek they're gonna take,' Kris explains to Kylie of Khloe's next steps.
In confessional, Kylie recalls seeing the bump on Khloe's face and how this entire situation is 'really scary.'
'I just hope that everything's going to be ok,' the mother-of-two adds.
After learning of her sister's predicament, Kylie finds Khloe at the party and pulls her aside to talk to her one-on-one about what the surgery will entail.
'I have to get a plastic surgeon to cut the whole thing out,' Khloe says bluntly.
'They said that they won't know until they open up my cheek how big they have to cut.'
Khloe admits that having her face cut into is especially worrisome since it's so visible.
'I just don't want a big scar on my face.'
Khloe explains in confessional that doctors told her it was 'incredibly rare' for someone at her age to have this so 'they have to go in more to see if it spread.
'So at this point it seems a little scary.'
Fans get a closer look at Khloe's bandaged face while visiting her sister Kourtney Kardashian at the home she shares with her husband Travis Barker in Calabasas.

'I wish someone was honest about surrogacy and the difference of it. It doesn't mean it's bad or good. It's still great. It's just very different,' she says
Khloe previously had surgery at age 19 to remove melanoma on her back.
In October 2022, the mother-of-two took to her stories to explain the bandage on her face after fans called it out online.
She confessed that she has to undergo an 'immediate operation' after having the lingering bump on her cheek checked out, which was later determined to be cancerous.
At the time, Khloe happily stated that her margins were clear and that she was focused on her healing process.
Later in the episode, Kourtney keeps her sister Khloe and production waiting for nearly 20 minutes so she could enjoy a quick hookup with Travis.
Kourtney reveals to her sister — who had stopped by to visit the couple — that she's 'ovulating' and needs to quickly take advantage of the opportunity.
'If you give us five minutes to go do something really fast,' Kourtney hints at her sister through grinning teeth before leaving the room with her rockstar husband.
'Are you really ovulating,' asks Khloe.
'Yes I am,' Kourtney confidently replies as she strips off her mic pack and leaves it on a chair.
'Well, let's see if it takes five minutes,' Khloe says, before starting the timer on her phone.
The Good American founder tells the cameras that this moment reminds her of the time when she fell asleep in her parents Kris and Caitlyn Jenner's closet and woke up to them 'having sex.
'And this is sort of triggering me.'
What was supposed to be a five-minute break turned into a 15-minute sex session.
Kourtney eventually returns to the room and Khloe asks her to 'guess' the time on her stopwatch.
Khloe shows her the screen and Kourtney hilariously remarks that that's 'record time' for her and Travis.
Kourtney tells fans that 'wife life' is treating her 'amazing.'
The couple happily wed in May 2022 at Dolce and Gabbana's Portofino Villa after legally tying the knot the week prior at a Santa Barbara courthouse.
Kourtney then confirms to fans that she is done with IVF treatment after hoping it would help her conceive a child with husband Travis.
They embarked on the journey last year, which she previously confessed had not 'been the most amazing experience.'
The reality star is mother to Mason, 13; Penelope, 10; and Reign, eight— with her former partner Scott Disick, whom she dated from 2005 until 2015.
'We would love a baby more than anything but I just really believe in what God has in store for us,' she says in confessional.

Wow: 'I have to get a plastic surgeon to cut the whole thing out,' Khloe tells Kylie. 'They said that they won't know until they open up my cheek how big they have to cut'
Khloe admits she's scared she might get a large scar from it
Kourtney notes that she had 'seven frozen eggs from years ago before Travis' that those around her had pushed her to get.
'When I was 38 or 39 everyone was like pushing me to do that and most of mine didn't survive the thaw because eggs are one cell and none of them made it to an embryo,' she explains.
The mother-of-three was always aware that the 'freezing of the eggs is not a guarantee' and wants more women to understand that.
Regardless, Kourtney knows that her and Travis already 'have a full, blessed life.'
'All the thing that came with IVF took a toll on me physically. My health is still impacted because it's hormones. And also mentally it took a toll,' the POOSH founder reveals.
'So, I think just being happy is most important and being a good parent to my kids. We are just embracing that whatever is meant to be will be.'
Kourtney tells Khloe that although their family likes to 'lift each other up' in times of crisis, she feels that it's mostly in a 'superficial way.'
'Like I don't think that we know how to be there for each other on like a deeper level,' she says.
This shocks Khloe, who insists that she believes she's always there for family in a deep way.
'When there's something pretty dramatic or devastating in the family, we're all by the person's side. That's my experience,' she says in confessional.
'But if Kourtney doesn't feel that way then I feel badly for her. But I could easily say, "Yeah, like how you didn't checkup on me with the baby."
'But, she's in her love bubble,' Khloe concludes.
Kourtney acknowledges that her and Khloe have always had a deep connection since they were little and that she will always be her 'soulmate after her true soulmate' Travis.
'With Khloe and I there is no competition, we are just genuinely obsessed with each other,' she tells the audience with a smile.
'We also vibed a lot on making fun of Kim and then I think when that was gone, Kim and Khloe were, like, vibing and then I was the one that got ganged up on,' she explains.
Kourtney's aware that people have been saying Kim is Khloe's 'new Kourtney,' but she confidently states: 'No one could be as funny as me, obviously.'
Regardless of their distance, Kourtney insists that the sisters would 'do anything for each other and, like, ride for each other until the end.
'But it is a different thing.'
Khloe explains to Kourtney that they're no longer doing 'one-on-one activities together' like they used to because she is always with Travis or with her children.
Meanwhile, Kourtney keeps her sister Khloe and production waiting for nearly 20 minutes so she can enjoy a quick hookup with her husband Travis Barker because she's ovulating

IVF: Kourtney then confirms to fans that she is done with IVF treatment after hoping it would help her conceive a child with husband Travis
'Which I get, I would be, too,' she adds.
Khloe suggests that her and Kourtney 'have a day together' to catch up like old times.
'Let's pretend we're back in Miami,' says Khloe, with Kourtney dismissively adding: 'And yelling on the streets...'
'We don't even have to leave the gates [of your home]. Do you know how much fun we have together no matter where we go?' Khloe says.
'I will let you pick anything you want.'
Kourtney seems interested in the idea but the two fail to nail down any specific plans for the future.
Later in the episode, Kylie meets up with her older sister Kendall to learn how to drive stick shift in the model's black 1997 Porsche.
'I was flattered because when she asks me to help her with something that I love doing, I couldn't be more excited to hangout with her,' Kendall says in confessional.
Kylie says she's 'determined' to learn and looking forward to bonding with the sister that she previously said she has the least in common with.
Despite looking very overwhelmed while Kendall explains how to to shift gears, Kylie bravely gets into the drivers seat.
Kylie's worried about locating the break while Kendall is mostly concerned with the idea of Kylie 'crashing my car.'
Kylie performs her test drive in a parking lot and Kendall compliments her for giving it a go, but she admits in confessional that her vintage car got a bit of beating.
Putting all her faith into her little sister, Kendall allows Kylie to drive them back home.
She cheers her on from the passengers seat while Kylie stares straight forward with her eyes wide.
After the driving lesson, Kendall attends her annual 818 party which is held on August 18 in honor of her successful 818 Tequila line.
Kim, Kris, Kris' boyfriend Corey Gamble, Khloe and Kylie all turned out for the big event.
Superficial: Kourtney tells Khloe that although their family likes to 'lift each other up' in times of crisis, she feels that it's mostly in a 'superficial way'
Shock: This shocks Khloe, who insists that she believes she's always there for family in a deep way
'When there's something pretty dramatic or devastating in the family, we're all by the person's side. That's my experience,' Khloe says in confessional. 'But if Kourtney doesn't feel that way then I feel badly for her. But I could easily say, "Yeah, like how you didn't checkup on me with the baby"'
'Soulmate': Kourtney knows that her and Khloe have always had a deep connection since they were little and that she will always be her 'soulmate after her true soulmate' Travis
Kendall praises her family' for their devotion to 'supporting' each other's business endeavors.
The Kardashian-Jenner clan doesn't hesitate to grab their favorite tequila drinks as the party gets going.
Kylie admits in confessional that she's the sister that can 'drink the most and hold it the best.'
I mean I can drink A LOT,' she emphasizes.
Kylie tells to viewers that Kendall and Kim are the sisters who get tipsy the quickest
'They have trouble hiding it. They have two shots [and then] they're announcing it to everyone.'
Kylie reveals that Kourtney 'will pee on everybody and everywhere and in public' when she's drunk.
'She's like naked somewhere… she's a free lady [when drunk].'
'Khloe is fun to get drunk with but she can get very aggressive. Like watch out! And there is no stopping her,' Kylie explains.
Just before dinner is served at Kendall's party, the runway maven delivers a toast and reflects on how much she's learned in the tequila industry.
Joining the family at the soiree was close friend and British late-night host James Corden.
Khloe is seated next to James as she sarcastically informs him she 'had a baby' when he asks her how she's been doing.
She remains tightlipped when he inquires about her newborn son's name, but she happily shows a photo.
Though in confessional Khloe confirms that she has finally decided on a name for her son, it is bleeped out.
'Naming a human is very hard,' Khloe says. 'I feel like I've gone through a lot recently, so what's one more thing on my plate.'
At the episode's end Kim breaks down in tears while revealing the emotional and mental pain her ex-husband Kanye West has put her through since their divorce.
Kim — who split from the controversial rapper in February 2021 after six years of marriage and four children together — tells her mother Kris that she's 'exhausted' by Kanye's behavior.
She gets particularly emotional while speaking about how her ex-husband 'looks down on [her]' for her infamous 2007 sex tape and 'brings it up' whenever he can.
'All of his shenanigans is going to be far more damaging to the kids one day than my tape will ever be,' she tells Kris passionately.
The SKIMS founder also reveals her true feelings about Kanye's habit of making their private text message public.
The scene kicks off with Kim admitting to her mother that she's been dealing with anxiety attacks as a result of the stress Kanye has put her under.
'I spent my whole morning having an anxiety attack. I felt like I just couldn't breathe all day. You know when you just are on the verge of tears it's like your throat is about to cry? That's how I felt all day,' says Kim.
In confessional, Kim acknowledges that there 'has been a lot going on between me and Kanye right now' and that it's dominated the media.
'Even through all the craziness of things that Kanye says about us like I never comment, I never post,' she tells her mom.
'Like, he has made up the most insane narrative about you and the tape and we stay silent and we stay silent through all the lies, all the stuff.'
With Kanye having continually made their family matters public, Kim states that she just '[expects] that everything that I text Kanye will be put on the internet.'
Although this pains her, Kim says that Kanye bringing her family, particularly her mother, into his online rants is what sets her over the edge.
'I think I can handle anything, I just get really heartbroken for my mom that she has to deal with so much from so many different sides,' she tells the camera.
Kris reminds Kim that she 'can't control' what Kanye does and that 'he's doing this to himself.'
The SKIMS founder expresses anger over the fact that Kanye continues to use her in sex tape against her.
'He looks so down on me for my [sex] tape and like brings it up all over town,' she claims.
'All over the media. Thanks for reminding people once again. All of his shenanigans is going to be far more damaging to the kids one day than my tape will ever be.'
While Kanye gets to scream his truth from the rooftops, Kim is frustrated that she's forced to remain quiet.
But she also knows it's for the best.
'And I have to sit here and not say anything ever because I know one day my kids will appreciate that and I know that's the best thing for them,' explains Kim, who can barely hold back her tears.
