Ok, so everyone knows that Rob Kardasian gained a ton of weight and is hiding out because of that. It makes sense, who wants to be photographed and talked about? Look what they did to Kim when she was pregnant! However, after last night's episode of KUWTK, I'm wondering if there is something more going on...
Rob was taped communicating with his family members although he never actually appeared on screen. He was making requests for things like some spoiled brat, like wanting to use Khloe's maid and getting upset when he said no. His family had all had it up to here with him, and they all had different ways of dealing with it. Kim has long maintained that if everyone stops babying Rob, he will have no choice but to grow up and behave like an adult instead of some petulant adolescent child, so she's taking the tough love approach. Khloe has been the one supporting Rob for the longest time, but she's starting to get fed up and deny his requests for help. Kris has also been enabling Rob, but she's starting to get to the end of her rope as well.
It seems that they tried to stage some sort of intervention (that wasn't taped and only very lightly eluded to) and ushered Rob into a treatment facility (treatment for what?) but he wasn't having it. On the phone with Khloe, she was pleading with him to stay and he kept saying that "it wasn't done the right way" and he didn't want to go "like this". Khloe begged him to take advantage of the numerous resources that were at his disposal and asked him not to put her through this - again, no doubt connecting his issues with her husband's. Hmmm...that's when I started to really wonder. If he is just overweight, why would be be at a treatment facility? Why did Kim mention cutting off Rob's money? Why does he leave every facility they send him to? It's all very weird.
I'm not saying that Rob has a drug addiction like Lamar clearly seemed to have..but something is off. When they went into his room, it was full of snacks and condoms. We know that Rob likes the ladies, so maybe he's addicted to food and hookers? God only knows.
At the end of the episode, we were left with a cliff hanger on whether or not Kim would be able to have more children the natural way. Stay tuned for next week's episode to find out!
