The eldest Kardashian sister has had issues with the rest of her family.

Fans have watched the Kardashian sisters stir up all kinds of drama for years. While all the women have their own quirks, Kourtney Kardashian usually stood out for being “different.” On several occasions, the eldest sister has expressed her discontent with excessive mainstream fame. On the other hand, the rest of the clan thoroughly enjoy their high-profile lives. This has led to many clashes between Kourtney and her sisters. The most famous Kardashian fight is Kourtney and Kim’s epic physical catfight. However, some shocking reveals over the phone may have taken the cake.

The internet went ablaze after a glimpse into the fourth season of The Kardashians. Why? Because of Kourtney and Kim’s heated discussion alluded to a serious crack in the Kardashian clan. Think pieces were tweeted, and conspiracy theories were shared on social media. However, it’s impossible to dissect the real reason for their rift. Nonetheless, it’s beyond Kourtney and Kim, as the former has also had issues with Khloé. 

Kourtney Kardashian & The D&G Drama

Before the clip above was released online, fans already suspected a rift. Furthermore, their followers already believed that the sisters weren’t in each other’s good books anymore. The previous season exposed one of the initial sources of the drama. Kourtney wasn’t pleased with Kim joining forces with Dolce & Gabbana. The former is a favorite of the designer, and even decided to collaborate with the luxury fashion brand for her Italian wedding to Travis Barker. However, soon after that, Kim began her own partnership with the brand.

Kim & Khloe’s Parenting Styles

This Kim-D&G debacle isn’t the first time Kourtney seemed to be at war with her family. Earlier this year, fans believed Kourtney was dissing her sister’s parenting styles. In an Instagram story, she shared, “A child is going to remember who was there, not what you spent on them. Kids outgrow a toy & outfits, but they never outgrow time and love.” While this can be dubbed a “reach,” viewers of The Kardashians have noted that Kourtney often canceled plans because she would rather have spent time with her kids.

What Happened In Miami Stayed In Miami

In July 2022, Kim and Khloé went on a vacation trip to Miami and didn’t invite Kourtney. It was from then on that fans started to notice Kim and Khloé had stopped commenting on Kourtney’s Instagram posts. Kourtney also seemed to give Kim the cold shoulder during their mom Kris Jenner’s 67th birthday party.

During the event, Kim posted a video of Kourtney standing with Khloé and their sister, Kylie Jenner. Kourtney had her back to the camera, and Kim said, “Hey, Kourt. Turn around, let me see this. This is the Thank U Next…” Kourtney didn’t budge – her back was still to the camera. Kim tried again, saying, “This is the Thank U Next…” She eventually turned around, but fans caught hints of tension.

The Infamous Video

In the online video, Kourtney confronts Kim about the Dolce & Gabbana situation. She fired at Kim in a long rant, saying, “You’re talking about the bullsh*t details cause it's all your egotistical, selfish mind can think about. You cannot stand someone else being the center of attention." While Kim stayed silent, Kourtney continued. “You came to my wedding, you couldn’t be happy, you complained from the second you got there till the second you left… you couldn’t be happy for me, you couldn’t be happy that I was the center of attention."

Kim then went on to talk about all of Kourtney’s friends and family complaining about her. In a shocking reveal, Kim told her older sister about a group chat they’d excluded her from. Particularly, the name of the conversation, “Not Kourtney,” caused a major stir. After a few more seconds of their heated back and forth, Kim asked Kourtney if she was happy. Kourtney responded, “Yes, but not when I'm on the phone with you." She later added, "I have a happy life and that happiness comes when I get the f*ck away from you guys. Specifically you." Later, in a joint confessional, Kim and Kourtney showed visible tension. Kourtney shared that Kim “was using any weapon that she could find to hurt me, almost like weaponizing everyone against me. I think we both got to a place that we weren’t proud of."

As is expected of many family dynamics, fights are meant to break out. However, Kourtney Kardashian just doesn’t have the luxury of privacy when dealing with her sisters. She has expressed her lack of interest in continuing on with reality TV but still manages to get roped back in. Fans have especially noted that she has had much fewer scenes than her sisters and is more often in the background these days. Yet, Kourtney did wish Kim a happy birthday last week, sharing her love for her sister. Nonetheless, it’s unsure what the future of their relationship will be, especially after Kourtney has shared in this new season that she doesn’t think she’s built for fame.
