In a candid interview with Khloé Kardashian, Cici Bussey, her dad Robert Kardashian's cousin unveiled the turbulent aftermath of the divorce between Robert and Kris Jenner. The revelations shed light on the family's struggles and the emotional toll it took on those involved.
Cici, who is Robert's first cousin, shared her experiences during the divorce, emphasizing the importance of "family first," a lesson she learned from Robert himself, reports Too Fab. The interview highlighted the strained relationship between Cici and Kris, with Cici recalling phone calls: "When your mom and dad were getting a divorce, the phone would ring, [it was] Helen calling me, [saying] 'What's she doing? You've got to fix it!' She thought I could fix it! And your dad got mad at me because your grandma said nobody can talk to [Kris], and I said I can't do that because then I wouldn't be able to talk to Kourtney, Kimberly, Khloé, and Rob, so I was outed."

Khloé empathetically assured Cici that her father would be "so proud" of her for maintaining close ties with the family, despite Cici thinking, "I went up against the Kardashians, and I wasn't supposed to."
