It’s been an uphill battle for Kris Jenner’s only son.
For the past three years or so, Rob Kardashian has gained an alarming amount of weight, battled drug rumors and quit Keeping Up With The Kardashians because he’s allegedly embarrassed about the way he looks.
Jenner told Maria Menounos Tuesday that Kardashian is “working on himself,” and isn’t “as into being on camera as much as the rest of” the family
The Arthur George owner was noticeably absent from the Thanksgiving photo Kylie Jenner Instagram’d, which even featured Caitlyn Jenner.
Kardashian did join the family this year at Khloe Kardashian’s, Jenner confirmed, but left after dinner to hang out with his friends.
“He lives with Khloe, so he was around and then went over to a buddy’s house,” Jenner explained.
“He’s doing alright, he’s doing his best.
“He’s gonna be OK,” Jenner assured fans.
In August 2014, TMZ reported that Kardashian’s downward spiral was triggered by the breakdown of Khloe’s marriage to Lamar Odom, which he witnessed first hand while living in their home.
Odom motivated Kardashian to get in shape and start his own business, but when the former NBA player’s own demons caught up with him, Kardashian was left feeling abandoned.
His own father died of throat cancer in 2003, which the only male Kardashian sibling took very hard.
Sources at the time told the site that when Odom “cut off the entire family and went radio silent, Kardashian “went into a tailspin because he felt abandoned by the only person who measured up to his dad.”
