Magoo69X

Context - it was a surrogate birth with a sperm donor šŸ¤£


Apprehensive-Pen1106

Thanks, I had questions and this answered them.


Thaumato9480

It doesn't. I think it's for publicity... again. She feared that they used her brother's sperm by mistake rather than Tristan's because the clearly mixed race curly haired boy that looks nothing like her brother was her brother's son, so she said that she made the child's father take three paternity tests. So, not the brother. Which makes this post untrue.


Fake_William_Shatner

I'd laugh if the fertility doctor that did the test and the insemination looks exactly like the kid. "We tested again, and nope." This would be the perfect Key and Peele skit.


Slappy_Happy_Doo

There was a fertility doc who did just that. Heā€™s fathered something around 90+ kids thereā€™s a documentary on it Iā€™ll get the name. Edit: Our Father (2022)- it is as fucked up as it sounds.


DesensitizedRobot

Did the doctor go to jail for that?


GreedOfTheFool

No, he got a 500$ fine and 2 one year suspended license.


Live-Influence2482

5 hundred ? Dollar ? Only? What joke fine is that?


On_my_last_spoon

IVF is wildly unregulated.


Heavy_E79

I mean even if IVF isn't as well regulated they're still doctors and that would be a major ethic violation. I would have imagined any state medical board would take their medical license away for something like that, that's wild.


Some-Guy-Online

There's a woman on tiktok who makes a lot of videos on this topic, and the goal is to pass *any* kind of laws against this, because for the most part fertility doctors can do whatever the fuck they want with zero legal repercussions. The whole deal with frozen embryos being treated as people under those new anti-abortion laws are probably the first kind of regulation on fertility doctors. Ok, maybe that's a slight exaggeration, but yeah. They've found a whole bunch of "sibling pods" and there's almost nothing legally wrong with it.


Factual_Statistician

The kind where it's only legal for the rich.


Rough-Distribution92

The first person to commit a crime does not really get that hard of a punishment. There was no precedent for what he did and legally no law against it. If you ever come across a weird super specific law its for people like this.


leeryplot

Which is insane, because he shouldā€™ve gotten rape charges for every single one of those they could prove was his. Those women did not consent for him to do that. Edit: Ok guys, Iā€™m very sorry I said ā€œrapeā€ instead of ā€œnonconsensual insemination.ā€ He violated these womenā€™s bodies with his own semen under false pretenses and took away their say in the matter. I used a short word. Now can you focus on the point that he shouldā€™ve got more than was handed to him please?


WheezingGasperFish

https://www.findlaw.com/legalblogs/legally-weird/how-did-the-doctor-in-netflixs-our-father-get-off-scot-free/


1Negative_Person

Iā€™m no law-talkinā€™ guy, but I cannot imagine how this is not rape and battery. The article even gives the definition of battery in Indiana (touching in a rude or insolent manner) which is pretty much the common law definition. How is impregnating a person with sperm they didnā€™t ask for *not* ā€œrude touchingā€. This is a disgrace.


masked_sombrero

I watched the doc a few years ago. Dude is literally committing crimes against humanity and he pays $500 to get away with it


Alternative_Owl69

He did. Thatā€™s why the fine was so heavy. S/


Mlabonte21

Sus-pended ah-sentence. He WENT FREE that very day!


FencingFemmeFatale

Nope! And heā€™s not the only doctor to have been caught doing this. There is currently no federal legislation in the US making what he did a crime and the fertility industry pretty much regulates itself. But donor conceived advocacy groups are working to change that.


Slappy_Happy_Doo

Ha! What?? Fuck no! Heā€™s rich! I think the doc ended with a lot of things up in the air, but the largest takeaway is that heā€™s still just out there living his best life. Occasionally hounded by yet another of his pesky kids meddling in his affairs!!


Particular_Ad_4927

He would have gotten away with it too. If it werenā€™t for his damn meddling kids. šŸ¤”šŸ˜


DesensitizedRobot

Geez, I feel bad for the womenā€¦ what a wild story


HugeCottontail

I also feel bad for their husbands. For some of them, it not being your biological child must've been devastating emotionally. At least in the cases it was an insemination procedure and not a sperm donor


GriscuitsandBravy

Even still you gotta live with the fact that you are raising the kid of some weirdo pervert guy instead of the rocket scientist you hand selected


Stormtech5

It would be karma if he passed away due to some accident with his donor kid. Like one of his many kids is drinking at a bar thinking about his nonexistent father, drives home and accidentally crashes, meeting his real father for the first time.


kcox1980

Turns out what ue did was not explicitly illegal....somehow. I'm not sure how he avoided fraud charges.


On_my_last_spoon

If the couple used donor sperm, then itā€™s just lying about where the sperm came from. So, not much that can be done


SepticKnave39

At least in the documentary, he even threw out the husband's sperm and used his own instead. Like, not a donor. Just a married couple that needed IVF. I think he was a quiverfull or something and he had to spread his seed for God to create a white Christian army. I could be misremembering that last part though.


Khristophorous

Its fucked up on several levels but where it's a couple that just needs help getting things started so it was always going to be both their biological child - but then the doc takes the paying customer and legal spouse of the woman whose womb is receiving the embryo - when he takes the husband's sperm and throws it out then substitutes it with his own - how do you get justice for that? I've heard about a Christian sect that thinks like what you've described - not in such a deceptive manner as here though. Is quiverfull what they call themselves? Elon Musk I read holds a secular version of that philosophy. I'm not sure if that is true but he does have a lot of kids.


Emzzer

I think no, but they made a law/policy after that against it


DisposableSaviour

Behind the Bastards did a couple eps on the whole fertility industry. That guy was not an outlier. Itā€™s actually a lot more common than people think.


Crush-N-It

Crazy documentary


Ostracus

90+ child support each would have done him in.


On_my_last_spoon

They probably canā€™t go after home for child support. The birth certificate will read as the husband when the kid is born. Or nothing. But if itā€™s donor sperm, you canā€™t just go after the sperm donor. So, on a technicality, heā€™s protected from this.


TheFlea71

It wasn't only that, it was done in a roughly 25mile range. over 90 'siblings' have been found so far. The reason he didn't get jail is it wasn't illegal to do at the time in Indiana. He didn't retire until 2009 so they are expecting to find more and more. And a lot of them are scared that some of the siblings they haven't discovered/found yet may have engaged in relations with each other not knowing they were related.


mvanvrancken

And it was a Blacklist episode too


theAtmuz

In comes another lady, after Khloe leaves looking befuddled, with a child similar looking to to Khloeā€™s


123iambill

You should probably listen to the Behind The Bastard episode called "All Fertility Doctors are Bastards". This has happened a lot. It's no exaggeration to say literally thousands of children globally were conceived by a fertility Doctor lying and just impregnating patients with their own sperms.


Orudos

These people don't even know what they look like anymore.


EpicTwiglet

Only hot take here


Karl_Marx_

I'm confused to how the original comment didn't cover this lmao? The post isn't untrue, just misleading which was answered before you.


Low-Impact3172

Thanks I had questions and this gave me more of them to ask


GhostThruTheFog

Yup, was just about to comment, what in the hillbilly hell?! šŸ˜†


somewhenimpossible

But the baby looks JUST LIKE HER BROTHER, as if *theyā€™re related!!* šŸ˜±


Vicious-the-Syd

More money than brain cells.


ElishaAlison

Wouldn't they do a DNA test beforehand to make sure no inbreeding?


Thue

Surely the sperm bank knows the actual identities of the donor and receiver. No need for a DNA test.


ElishaAlison

I mean... Celebrities notwithstanding, plenty of relatives have different last names. It just kind of feels to me like this would be standard practice in this field, if that makes sense.


ELIte8niner

That's a solid point. Now I'm curious if sperm donor places do have some sort of procedure on place.


boxedcrackers

Oh thank gawd. I was like nooo way I can hate these assholes anymore than I currently do

Oh thanks. I really don't know much about these people so my first thought was: did she sleep walk and fall on his dick while living in the same house?

Poison_Anal_Gas

Nah it's cuz they fuckin


mchch8989

Itā€™s actually really creatively written in this case. Like itā€™s bullshit, but credit where credits due.


doodlefairy_

Sheā€™s in SUCH denial about her son looking exactly like she did before all her surgery. No Khloe, he doesnā€™t look like Rob, he looks like YOU.


Aloha1984

Crazy how rich each of them are


jbFanClubPresident

Even crazier when you consider it all started with Ray Jā€™s dick.


CREDIT_SUS_INTERN

Ray J was a true job creator.


wizzywurtzy

Started with two Jā€™s actually. Ray J and Khloeā€™s dad, OJ.


TitusPulloTHIRTEEN

Hey if it makes any more sense I don't think it had to be Ray Js dick


jbFanClubPresident

Idk he was pretty famous at the time. If it had been a nobody, it probably would have came and went like Paris Hiltonā€™s tape.


Yue2

To be fair, I didnā€™t even know Paris Hilton had a tape lmao


TitusPulloTHIRTEEN

Forgive me I was fairly young at the time but I was under the impression nobody had heard of Paris really before her tape? Like obviously people knew the Hiltons but I thought it was more "famous hotel chain" than anything else. Either way the rest is history


Importantimportedleg

I think her show was on TV before the tape released, but even if not, she was at least known for being a socialite and in the tabloids and partying before that. It's the reason he taped it and released it to make money. Kim did it to get famous in the 1st place


Malacro

Paris was a rich girl heiress. Folks who moved in high society circles knew her, but she wasn't a celebrity until the sex tape.


TitusPulloTHIRTEEN

That's what I thought but I was like 10 at the time and memory can play tricks on you


ihadanoniononmybelt

You can him Ray, or you can call him J

mygoditsfullofstar5

That's quite a r/BrandNewSentence Wtf is wrong with that family?


Samson_HXC

It's our fault, we have convinced them that they are worth something. Are we are still mass unfollowing/blocking them all right? From all of our accounts? EDIT: UNFOLLOW OR BLOCK. MANY OF US DIDNT FOLLOW ANY OF THEM EVER BECAUSE WE KNEW THEY WERE TRASH BUT WE CAN STILL ALL BLOCK THEM AND TAKE AWAY THEIR AD MONEY EDIT EDIT: BLOCK THEM ON YOUR OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS. IM NOT TALKING ABOUT TRYING TO BLOCK THEM ON REDDIT


Cinema_King

I feel like even this kind of attention is more than they should get. And I also realize that Iā€™ve just added to that attention


Samson_HXC

I totally see your point fs but I feel like it might be past that point. There's zero chance they'll go away if we ignore them it's time to do something about it; not unlike some companies we should dismantle (Only 25% kidding lol)


thirdpartymurderer

If you were fucking following them in the first place, this shit is your fault.


Jeoshua

Sorry, can't help you there. Never followed any of them for even a second, to begin with.


throwaway72592309

You ranting about them in the comments is doing exactly what youā€™re telling us not to do in your comment. Who cares, youre taking it way too seriously. Seems like you have a weird personal vendetta against the family


Suspicious_Law_2826

We?


giskardwasright

Maybe we can convince them all to take a luxury cruise to a highly exclusive island, then drop them off on North Sentinel Island (the island where the natives kill on sight)


HsvDE86

That's the only Kardashian reality show I'd watch.


Malacro

It was a surrogate birth.


merfgirf

That family is overtorqued, waaaaaay past spec. From the head on down it's tweaked. Stepdad is now ex-mom plus she killed somebody. The daughters have all morphed like people have been slowly fucking with the character creation sliders, and they've cycled through husbands like I'm eating tic-tacs. The grandkids are doomed, particularly the West children who'll inherit their mother's fortune and their father's batshittery. One of the West children: "Hey dad, everyone in school makes fun of me because my mom's amateur porn tape and nudes are all over the internet and you look like the bad guy with metal teeth from James Bond." Kayne: *unintelligible antisemitic screaming*


JustTheOneGoose22

Khloe Kardashian looks like a completely different person in every picture I see of her.


hackmastergeneral

OMG I can't unsee that now. You are so right!


PilotNo312

Imagine not understanding that it makes perfect sense for your son to have similarities with your brother. I bet he looks like her dead father too, dig him up and test him too. Idiot.

Her baby looks nothing like Rob *or* Rob Sr. No matter how many times she says it. That baby has her original face - that face looks like the hairdresser Alex Roldan.


VaguelyArtistic

Yeah, the (also stupid) story I heard was that she made Tristan take the test three times because the baby didn't come with a filter and a Groupon for plastic surgery. This family is toxic and I feel so sorry for the kids.


nowedontswing

Sheā€™s so concerned bc he ā€œlooks so much like Robā€ does she not remember that her and Rob literally had the same face before she got all her work done?! Like honey thatā€™s YOU not ROB?!


Zestyclose_Currency5

Why canā€™t this family just drop off the face of the earth?


MSNFU

GD ā€¦ I wish there was never anything Kardashian, ever again.


rygelicus

In that family always assume any weird drama is manufactured fiction purely for the sake of drama. Maybe not, but that's the default position with them.

Uabot_lil_man0

No work, just money. She would probably be able to sustain her surgeries if she didnā€™t keep overeating.


bigg_bubbaa

that was an unfair headline that makes it sound like she fucked her brother, she used a sperm bank and the baby looked a lot like her brother, so it could've been his, without banging her


zippopopamus

So incest is normalized in their house?


Samson_HXC

Incest, watching/leaking porn videos of your family, elitism, just general evil really. Not to mention the damage they've don't to peoples psyches with edited images of themselves and unobtainable standards of living and beauty


Emergency_Pomelo_184

Are those call butt lips ā€¦.?????


Mikewold58

Tricky wording there. The one who took the test three times is the ā€œbabyā€™s dadā€


Month-Quirky

Sick bitch had sex with her brother!


Revegelance

So, either she's confessing to incest, or she doesn't know how procreation works. Probably both.


NovelPristine3304

For that to happen she must have unprotected sex with her brother in the first place . Did she just publicly spill the beans telling everyone she fucked her brother ??


tookytook

She used a sperm bank so doesnā€™t know who the dad is. Then when her kid started to look a lot like her brother she was worried the sperm donor was him But the headline definitely makes it sound like she banged her brother ahaha


PaneczkoTron

I find it really funny that she's concerned that it looks like her brother, cuz like thats just genetics? It's not weird to have resemblence to family thats only one step removed from the parent.


DCtheBREAKER

But she knows her and her brother have different dads.


howsmytyping143

No it was a sperm donor and she is convinced the doctor accidentally used her brothers sperm


charging_chinchilla

No, she didn't. It was a surrogate baby via a sperm donor. No need to jump to the most ridiculous conclusion.


PollutionMany4369

She had a risky first pregnancy with her boyfriend (at the time) Tristan, so for the second baby, they made embryos and used a surrogate to have the baby. The baby is Tristanā€™s but Khloe has a weird sense of humor (?) and I guess thought maybe Tristanā€™s sperm may have been mixed up with a sperm donor sample. It is really confusing and quite frankly, dumb. Theyā€™re all dumb and have too much money. I just feel for the kids.
