Khloé Kardashian is not here for any mean-spirited remarks about her ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson’s 19-year-old brother, Amari.
“Last time I posted Amari in his dance class, I heard some ridiculous commentary about how, ‘How is this dance? Does he even know what’s going on?’” Kardashian, 41, said in a video posted to her Instagram Stories on Saturday, December 13. “All of this gross commentary that I don’t need [and] no one needs.”
The reality TV star continued, “So, if you don’t know or you have never had someone with special needs in your life and you don’t know what their interests are or what makes them happy, don’t comment. If you don’t like this type of content, you don’t have to watch it. We’re all good over here.”
Amari is the younger brother of Thompson, 34, whom Kardashian dated on and off from 2016 to 2021. Amari is nonverbal and has Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and epilepsy. Thompson was granted legal guardianship of his sibling after their mom’s 2023 death. In that time, Kardashian has helped her now-ex take care of Amari.
On Saturday, Kardashian specifically wanted to highlight one of Amari’s extracurricular activities.
“I’m going to post a few videos from Amari’s dance class, and I just want to say that I was given permission to post,” the Good American founder said. “I know there’s other students in the class, but I got permission. I want to highlight such an amazing dance academy that does so much for special children. It’s so beautiful and it’s so special, and these kids are so happy.”
She added, “I don’t know how someone wouldn’t cry, but being in these classes, it’s so beautiful. So, I just had to leave this little note that I’m not doing anything without permission — and just [sharing] how happy everyone is. If you want some feel-good content, stay tuned.”
Kardashian uploaded several videos of Amari moving with the instructors and other students to songs from High School Musical, the Spice Girls and more at Carousel Dance Studio in West Hills, California.
“The sweetest students and teachers,” the Kardashians star captioned a follow-up slide of rehearsal footage. “I’m so thankful for places like this and for human beings like this!”
According to Kardashian, she found it to be “such an honor” to attend Amari’s class.
“The dance academy does amazing things for these magical children,” she wrote on Saturday. “Such an honor to be a witness to such great souls. The academy gave permission for me to post the [videos] I posted, and I know it goes a long way for their business to be highlighted. God bless all of these angels.”
It’s been just over a year since Tristan Thompson, NBA player and ex-boyfriend of Khloé Kardashian, became the legal guardian of his 18-year-old brother, Amari. Tristan, 34, remains a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers while looking after Amari, who has Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. He was granted temporary guardianship in September 2023 following their mom Andrea’s death […]
Kardashian has previously advocated for Amari’s well-being on numerous occasions — before and after her split from Thompson. (Kardashian and Thompson share two children: True, 7, and Tatum, 3.)
“Andrea was the sole caretaker for Amari and they lived in Canada,” Kardashian said on a July episode of her eponymous podcast, referring to the brothers’ mother. “Tristan’s mom passed away a few years ago, we — me, Tristan, my whole family — took Amari back with us to the [United] States. Tristan is in the NBA and he is in a different state, literally, every other day or every few days, and it’s just not conducive for Amari to be on that many planes.”
To accommodate Thompson’s athletic schedule, Kardashian chose “to take care of” and “be there for” Amari.
“California weather is so good for Amari, and I just love having Amari be a part of my family,” Kardashian explained, noting that she also employs two caretakers to help her. “We just want to provide Amari with the best, most beautiful life that we know how. And he deserves that.”
