American reality TV star Kim Kardashian has been hospitalized with esophagitis, an inflammation of the mucous membrane in her esophagus. The condition was disclosed in a trailer for the eighth season of the reality show “Kardashian” on Hulu’s YouTube channel.
In the footage, 45-year-old Kardashian shared her diagnosis with family members. She revealed that her father, Robert Kardashian — the prominent lawyer who passed away in 2003 at age 59 from esophageal cancer — had been diagnosed with esophagitis prior to his death.
Her mother, Kris Jenner, responded to the news by posting on September 18: “I want to cry.”
