VIDEO: Khloé Kardashian Has Emotional Chat With 'Revenge Body' Star Who Was Abused by Her Father

Khloé Kardashian’s series Revenge Body strives to meet its stars on both a physical and emotional level, helping them through issues with their bodies and with their mental states. In a newly released clip from an upcoming episode, Kardashian engages with one such star, sharing an emotional talk with her on her abuse.

In the video, Kardashian speaks with Hayley, who shared a glimpse into the origin of her eating disorder. "My dad was an alcoholic and he was very abusive towards me. It was physical, emotional and verbal," she explains. "I lived in fear of my father. And then that's like, when the eating started kicking in."

Subsequently, the abuse continued into young adult life, causing Hayley to gain an unhealthy amount of weight. After showing her mother that her father was abusive, her father was evicted from the house, the abuse ended, and she lost nearly 100 pounds. Her unhealthy eating returned, however, when her mother tragically passed away from terminal cancer. "Eating the food that reminded me of her, I'd feel like my mom was there eating it with me," Hayley explains. "And so I gained over 50 pounds in less than four months."

Kardashian sympathizes with Hayley’s struggle, explaining that she was in a similar situation. "I was like that when my dad died. I am an emotional eater so I can totally relate to that," recalls the host. "'Cause I gained so much weight overnight, too. You just don't realize it."

As for us, we find the clip powerful and meaningful, and we're glad that Kardashian got the chance to share the moment in Revenge Body.
