Khloé Kardashian Opened Up About Her Intense Anxiety Over Interviews And “Dreading” Public Backlash After Revealing That She Takes Medication For Her “Deteriorating” Self-Esteem And Confidence
Last week, Kardashian fans across the world finally got an inside look at how Tristan Thompson’s paternity scandal came to light behind the scenes.

Hot Ones / First We Feast
So, the Good American founder just became the first of her siblings to take on the infamous Hot Ones interview, where — in the unlikely event you’ve not seen it already — the celeb guest must tackle a platter of increasingly spicy hot wings while answering tough questions from the host, Sean Evans.
Hot Ones / First We FeastAnd given that Hot Ones guests are certainly put through their paces with the heat, it came as no surprise to learn that it took Khloé a while to build up the courage to take on the challenge.
Rb / GC Images“It’s been about eight months since I agreed to do this,” Khloé began with an air of apprehension.
Hot Ones / First We Feast“I don’t eat chicken, I don’t eat hot sauce,” she added. “And I have a lot of anxiety with interviews in general. But I’m here!”
Hot Ones / First We FeastOf course, if you’re a fan of Khloé’s, you’ll know that her reluctance to sit down for the Hot Ones challenge isn’t only because of the spicy wings but is also largely due to her intense anxiety over speaking to the media.
Alberto Rodriguez / NBCUniversal / NBCU Photo Bank via Getty ImagesThroughout her 15 years in the spotlight, Khloé has found herself at the receiving end of a ton of abuse, often centered on her appearance or romantic relationships. It’s for this reason that she’s become more reluctant to take on interviews or public appearances, seemingly over fears that her words may be misconstrued and prompt more hateful backlash.
Nbc / NBCU Photo Bank via Getty ImagesIn fact, in one recent episode of The Kardashians, Khloé revealed that her anxiety had become so debilitating that she opts to stay at home over fears of criticism.
Hulu“Everything is so critical. The way I look, my situation with Tristan. Is my hair done the right way? What is she doing?” she said during a confessional. “I think it’s gotten to the point that it’s literally safer to stay at home.”
HuluSpeaking to her BFF Malika Haqq about her intense anxiety over an upcoming appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Khloé admitted that it’s almost impossible for her to tune out the criticism.

At one point in the episode — and again later on as we see her preparing for The Late Late Show — Khloé spoke candidly about taking medication to combat her anxiety, telling Malika she’d started taking beta blockers.
Rb / GC ImagesIn her Hot Ones appearance, Sean made a point of broaching the subject of her interview anxiety, delving into how her approach to the public has changed over time.
Hot Ones / First We Feast“I used to really enjoy doing interviews, and I would think it’s fun,” Khloé responded, reflecting on the earlier days in her career. “Someone might ask you questions you’re never asked before, and that’s exciting.”
Hot Ones / First We Feast“I’m always more dreading — not the interview, I enjoy doing the interviews. It’s the aftermath of what’s gonna come, who’s gonna chop this up and make this into something that it wasn’t supposed to be,” she explained.
Cbs Photo Archive / CBS via Getty ImagesKhloé admitted that the public scrutiny has taken the fun out of interviews, depriving her of the ability to talk freely and openly without fear of getting hate.
Cbs Photo Archive / CBS via Getty Images“It makes it so thought out and premeditated, and to me — I don’t like to overthink things too much,” she added. “I just wanna have a natural flow and enjoy the conversation.”
Hot Ones / First We FeastDespite her fears, viewers were full of praise for Khloé.

“Never did I think I’d sit down and watch a video with Khloé Kardashian. BUT, I sure am glad that I did,” another viewer wrote. “Watching this made her seem much more like a real person, major props to her for doing it and for crushing it!”
youtu.beOthers praised Sean for noting Khloé’s anxiety and making sure to put her at ease with positive and thoughtful questions.
Hot Ones / First We Feast“I like how comfortable she was, Sean is good at making celebs feel ‘safe’ during an interview AND ONLY FEAR HOT SAUCE,” someone wrote.
youtu.be“This was such a refreshing interview with Khloé,” another viewer added. “Kudos to him for asking authentic questions and stop focusing on her love life.”
youtu.beIt’s certainly good to see Khloé back on our screens after a chaotic year. And if she needs a boost, it seems like the Hot Ones comments section is on her side.
Bravo / NBCU Photo Bank / NBCUniversal via Getty ImagesEchoing countless others, one fan wrote, “I know she’s traumatized from reading comments after interviews but I hope she reads these! Honestly Hot Ones fans are the best. Great job Khloe!”
