While it might have seemed like the Dolce & Gabbana debacle between Kim Kardashian and her older sister, Kourtney, had died down, their sibling rivalry appears to be very much alive.
During the four premiere of The Kardashians, released on Thursday, Kim and Kourtney verbally get into it, with the Skims founder firing off some cutthroat words that seemingly left her sister in tears.
While the Kardashian-Jenner tribe prepped for a family trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, the reality series showed a phone call between Kim and Kourtney that left the pair boiling.
The call started smoothly, as Kim invited Kourtney to a Dolce & Gabbana event in Milan, Italy, amid her collaboration with the designers.
“Thank you, I’m a little Dolce’d out,” Kourtney replied. “I’m always supporting you. I just don’t think it’s cool the way that particular thing happened.”
She added that the whole ordeal has made her take a step back from her family.
If you’re up to date on the drama, then you know that Kim was creative director for a Dolce & Gabbana runway show in September 2022 that pulled looks from the fashion house’s 90s archives.
Kourtney didn’t take kindly to it, considering just months earlier she collaborated on her wedding with D&G, where she showed off many looks pulled from the same archive.
During their phone call, Kim told her older sister that she shouldn’t be upset about her teaming up with the famous designers because 90s-inspired vintage looks are “not that original”.
Kourtney then sounded off: “You cannot stand someone else being the centre of attention. You came to my wedding. You couldn’t be happy. You complained from the second you got there till the second you left. That’s what it’s about. Forget about you couldn’t be happy.”
“You couldn’t be happy for me. You couldn’t be happy that I was the centre of attention and you weren’t,” an enraged Kourtney, who tied the knot with musician Travis Barker in an Italian ceremony in May 2022, continued.
Kim then denied her sister’s claims, replying: “All of this never happened. I was so happy for you!”
As they took turns insulting each other, Kourtney accused Kim of having an “egotistical, selfish mind”, to which Kim shot back by calling her “different”.
“You’re just a different [person] – you hate us. You’re a different person. We all talk about it,” Kim said. “All your friends call us complaining.”
She continued: “We all are concerned. We all think that you’re just really not happy.”
“I have a happy life and the happiness comes when I get the fuck away from you guys, specifically you,” Kourtney said.
Kim added that Kourtney’s friends and family talk about her in a group chat labeled “Not Kourtney”. Things escalated even further after Kim dropped a bombshell claim that Kourtney’s also kids take issue with her.
“Your kids have even come to me with problems that they have in how you are,” she says.
Kourtney shares children Mason Dash, 13, Penelope, 11, and Reign Aston, eight, with ex Scott Disick. She is expecting a child with Barker, who shares daughter Alabama Luella, 17, son Landon, 19, and stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, 24, with ex-wife Shanna Moakler.
“Is that helpful? You’re like, adding it into a fight to have a side like it’s you and my friends and my kids and everyone against me. It’s like, you’re just a fucking witch and I hate you,” Kourtney fired back on the phone call.
Back in June, Kourtney was brought to tears when she discussed Kim “copying” her wedding with the D&G runway show.
“I think she sees everything that I had there and takes it for her own and she doesn’t even see it,” Kourtney said in an episode of The Kardashians. “She sees it as, like, the dollar signs.”
“Sorry, it just upsets me,” she added to her younger sister Kendall Jenner. “Because it’s not about just business. It’s just legit copying my wedding.”
New episodes of The Kardashians are available to stream on Disney+ in the UK.
