Their conversation took a poignant turn when the actress directly asked Thompson about his feelings following his past indiscretions. His response, admitting to feeling "disgusted," left the "Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami" star probing further, asking the question on everyone's mind, "So then why do you do it again?"

Apparently, these sentiments came to a head during a getaway to Palm Springs with extended family, notably during significant milestones like the children's first day of school. The media personality refused to mince words when expressing her feelings about the former Chicago Bulls player, saying:

"I feel like we all brush it off and are fine, but then I was so triggered. I was just like, I can't do it anymore." 

In fact, the "One Life to Live" guest star took it a step further by acknowledging that Thompson had made "horrible decisions and choices" with Khloé. Kardashian also recognized the impact his past actions had on her, stating:

"There are times when I'm so triggered by him I can't be around him, and then there's times when I just let it go because we just want harmony and, you know, he's the father of my niece and nephew." 

Khloé wholeheartedly backed her older sister's stance, affirming the validity and justification of the "He's All That" actress and her 11-year-old's emotions. The "Khloé & Lamar" alum also noted the importance of Penelope trusting her instincts and emotions without any pressure to alter her perspective. In her words:

"I don't want this behavior to be something that I'm validating or I'm justifying. I want her to know that how she's feeling is the right way to feel. We should not accept someone treating her like this."

Catch "The Kardashians" episodes every Thursday by 12 a.m. ET on Hulu.
