LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The fight between the sisters Kim Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian Barker was unintentionally fueled by momager Kris Jenner. The Kardashian-Jenner clan is known for not always agreeing with each other. Of course, one can love their family members even if they don't like them much. The newest episode of the family's Hulu series 'The Kardashians' saw the Poosh founder and the Skims entrepreneur continue their bitter-sweet feud.
A stressful situation occurred at Kim's 42nd birthday celebration in the sixth episode of season three of 'The Kardashians,' which aired on Thursday, June 29. After Kim collaborated with Dolce and Gabbana to develop the 'Ciao, Kim' collection, Kourtney was devastated because she and her husband Travis Barker had worked with the fashion house on their Italian wedding. In the episode, Kourtney referred to her sister as "intolerable" and "greedy" because of their growing feud. Matriarch Kris made matters worse by addressing Kim as their leader in a speech at the family dinner.
Why was Kim Kardashian dubbed the 'leader'?
Kim has assumed several starring roles on the family's reality shows, from the days on 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' to now, in 'The Kardashians'. Kim's nepo-baby position was boosted to infamous socialite star by her association with Paris Hilton and her leaked sex tape with Ray J. The Olympian reputation of her stepmother Caitlyn Jenner and the legal representation of OJ Simpson by her father Robert Kardashian soon paled in comparison to Kim's sudden rise in fame. Does this imply that Kim is deserving of the title of family leader? Kourtney is not necessarily of that opinion, as Episode 6 of the currently airing Season 3 revealed.
Kourtney had a focused gaze and compressed lips as their mother, Kris Jenner, gave a fawning and adoring speech about Kim on her 42nd birthday. Kris called Kim the "leader" in the speech the entire time. The momager said: "We all look up to you. You're a superpower. And you are pretty much now, at this point, the leader of our family."
But not everyone seems to be covered by the word "all". As Kris was speaking, Kourtney gave a sharp gaze toward her husband, Travis Barker, as if to express her dissatisfaction and frustration with her mom's speech. There is nothing new about this feud! Under the surface, tension has been simmering and brewing and Kourtney appears to be on the verge of losing it.
When questioned whether Kourtney thought Kim was the head of the family, the Poosh founder disagreed and confirmed she is definitely not part of any cult her family is following. Even if Kourtney's true feelings were evident in her scathing comments, this does not necessarily mean that the public is entirely aware of her feelings, as per Mirror.
Why are Kim and Kourtney beefing?
Internet users never fail to provide their unfiltered and unsolicited opinions when any celebrity feud flares up. The same goes for the Kardashian sisters. Social media users immediately took to Twitter to comment on the feud between the celebrity sisters, speculating on why they were fighting. One Twitter user tweeted, "The kardashians need to tell the truth why Kim and kourtney beefing.. Kim fck Travis before probabilistic multiple times and she dnt lik that her sister got him before she did end of story @KimKardashian @kourtneykardash" A second user wrote, "Kourtney Kardashian is the least problematic of that klan. She does not care about any of them & egomaniacs like Kim Kardashian can't stand when people don't GAF. Kourt might need to ruff her up again; cause shorty stay running her jibs." A third 'KUWTK' fan typed, "I feel Kourtney feels weird because she’s the older sister to the bigger star and she knows that no matter what she does, Kim will always be the peoples (including Travis) first choice. But it’s high time she comes to the realization that her sister is THEE KIM KARDASHIAN."
Another Twitter user tweeted, "I always thought family was before buisness for @KimKardashian but after seeing what she did to kourtney, i have changed my mind. she basically stole a buisness idea, not just betraying her sister. kourtney should have had the dolce show." Someone else wrote, "Kourtney has got to understand the name @KimKardashian is a BRAND, a BUSINESS and Kim K is ALWAYS going to get a signed check at the end of the day. #TheKardashians". Another one wrote, "I made her I bought her her f*****g career She's the least interesting to look at She uses a kids as leverage to be lazy (the worse) She's a bad parent A few things @KimKardashian & @khloekardashian have thrown at Kourtney, their flesh & blood, their elder sister Sickening." Another Kim K fan wrote, "Kim Kardashian is aggy AF, but she carries that family on her back. Kourtney will just have to deal."
