All's fair on the red carpet. The stars of Hulu's "All's Fair" – including, from left, Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson, Teyana Taylor and Kim Kardashian – attend the world premiere of the show at Los Angeles' DGA Theater Complex on Oct. 16, 2025. Kardashian, who previously studied to become a lawyer, is set to star in the legal drama. The show follows a Los Angeles divorce law firm that undergoes a heated case when founder Allura Grant goes head-to-head against rival Carrington Lane, played by Paulson.
What happened to Kim Kardashian?
Kim Kardashian was diagnosed with a small brain aneurysm, she said in a preview clip during the Oct. 23 Season 7 premiere of Hulu's reality TV series "The Kardashians."
What is a brain aneurysm?
A brain aneurysm is a bulge or weak spot in a blood vessel, typically in or around the brain, the Cleveland Clinic says. While most are small, a ruptured brain aneurysm can be life-threatening.
Who do brain aneurysms most affect?
Brain aneurysms are more common in women than men, and in adults ages 30 to 60, the Mayo Clinic said.
What are common symptoms?
Small brain aneurysms that haven't ruptured don't typically cause symptoms, the Mayo Clinic said. However, you may experience minor symptoms like headaches ahead of a major rupture, the Cleveland Clinic advises.
Ruptured brain aneurysms are a serious condition that cause internal bleeding and require immediate medical treatment.
Here are some common symptoms, according to the Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic:
severe headache
nausea and vomiting
stiff neck
weakness and/or numbness
blurred or double vision
seizures
light sensitivity
confusion
pain above and behind the eye
loss of consciousness
drooping eyelid and dilated pupil
How do you treat a brain aneurysm?
A ruptured brain aneurysm needs to be treated immediately, typically with emergency surgery. Call 911 or head to the nearest emergency room if you experience symptoms, the Cleveland Clinic urges. Treatment needs for unruptured brain aneurysms are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and can include monitoring over time.

Does stress cause a brain aneurysm?
Brain aneurysms happen due to your brain's artery walls thinning and weakening, the Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic say. A variety of risk factors can contribute to this occurring, including:
family history of brain aneurysms
smoking
certain health conditions
substance use, especially cocaine
high blood pressure
heavy alcohol use
In case you missed: Dr. Dre had three strokes after his brain aneurysm. How common is that?
How is a brain aneurysm diagnosed?
A CT scan of the brain is typically the first step in diagnosing an aneurysm or hemorrhage, the University of Michigan Health said.
"If we diagnose an aneurysm, a cerebral angiogram is performed to better understand the aneurysm," U-M said. "During this procedure, dye is injected into your bloodstream and x-rays are taken, which will give our team information on how to best treat your condition."
