“Why Do You Hate Me So Much?”: Kim and Kourtney Kardashian’s Latest Feud

Kim Kardashian and her sister Kourtney Kardashian are reportedly embroiled in a new dispute, with sources close to the family indicating that tensions are higher than ever. Allegations that Kourtney has distanced herself from friends associated with her ex-partner Scott Disick have added fuel to the already intense feud between the sisters. Kourtney, 45, has reportedly told friends that she believes Kim, 43, is “talking behind her back.”

“Kourtney and Kim barely speak now if it’s not on camera for the show,” an insider claims. “Since Kourtney had her newborn Rocky, she’s been so busy – she’s got work, breastfeeding, looking after her kids and stepkids, and is perfectly happy to stay at home and be in her own little bubble,” says the insider. “She doesn’t have time to go to parties with Kim or spend hours with her family and friends.”

The situation escalated when Kourtney read rumors about her cutting off old friends. “She was really hurt recently when she read the story about how she’s cutting off her old friends. I think that Kourt thinks it’s people in Kim’s circle behind the rumors – when Kim doesn’t have a man, she’s always stirring up family drama. She was targeting Khloe a few months back and now it’s Kourt’s turn again,” an insider revealed to The Sun.

Kourtney’s partner, Travis Barker, reportedly dislikes Disick, which has led Kourtney to limit their communication and distance herself from old friends. “It was all amped up a bit for the show but still, the truth is they actually have had to spend a huge amount of time apart and they still do at times, mostly because of their toxic exes,” a source claimed to Life & Style. “Scott is still a nightmare when it comes to the custody drop-offs; he’s still so bitter about Travis,” they continued.

“[Travis] can’t stand Scott. So he usually just goes into his shell and avoids the whole situation by taking off,” the source added. “Kourtney’s been pretty avoidant herself,” the source noted. “[The] truth is she’s scared of Shanna, so she doesn’t want to risk seeing her face to face. So, unfortunately, it still does create situations where they have to take time apart on the weekends.” They added, “It’s beyond aggravating that Scott and Shanna still have this sort of power over them.”

Kim and Kourtney’s relationship has historically been fraught with tension. Their most notable on-air confrontation occurred in September 2023, when Kim claimed that Kourtney’s friends were criticizing her in a group chat called “Not Kourtney” just before the Hulu debut of The Kardashians, Season 4. The situation became highly emotional, with Kim breaking down in tears on screen, questioning, “Why do you hate me so much?”

Kim even accused Kourtney of harboring a serious vendetta against the family. “You hate us. You are a different person. We all talk about it,” Kim asserted. Kourtney responded with equal intensity, stating, “Because I don’t need you guys anymore. I don’t need to be a part of it.” She accused Kim of narcissism, stating, “It is all about you. Anything you do, it’s about you and how it looks to the world about you.” As the sisters continue to navigate their strained relationship, the public remains captivated by the ongoing drama of one of reality TV’s most famous families.
