Kourtney vs Kim, Khloe: All about Kardashian sisters' ongoing 'feud'
Are you keeping up with the Kardashians, because there's a lot of drama unfolding currently! Recently, Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian made a public appearance in New York City, displaying a united front despite the ongoing "feud" with their sister Kourtney Kardashian over several issues. The tussle has reportedly been ongoing for five years and shows no signs of abating. Here's what happened.
Why does this story matter?
For those unaware, The Kardashians is a new reality show that came on the heels of their previous hit show KUWTK, which ran for 20 seasons. In May, The Kardashians Season 3 was announced and on Monday, a dramatic teaser was released for Season 3, which majorly focused on the ongoing feud between Kim and Kourtney—a conflict that got especially heated after Kourtney's wedding.

Kourtney accused Kim of using her wedding as 'business opportunity'
Kourtney and Travis Barker tied the knot in a grand wedding ceremony held in Italy in May 2022, hosted by renowned designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana (D&G). In September, Kim became the face of D&G. This development reportedly didn't sit well with her sister, who claimed in the Season 2 trailer for The Kardashians that "Kim used my wedding as a business opportunity."
'It's who she is to her core…'
Responding to the accusations, Kim didn't seem to comprehend why her sister got so upset, stating, "I'm really confused at how this narrative came into her head. I couldn't have been more mindful. I said, 'Don't do anything that Kourtney wore to her wedding.'" This didn't convince Kourtney, who noted, "People think it's a misunderstanding. It's not. It's who [Kim] is to her core."
When Kourtney made revelations about her relationship dynamic with sisters
Besides the wedding incident, things have been sour between the three since 2018, as Kourtney revealed in a podcast last year. It all started when her sisters—Khloe and Kim—were pregnant, revealed Kourtney. "I was unhappy with the show, partially because of Kim and Khloe. It was almost everything that Khloe and I had done to Kim, and then they were flipping it on me."
What exactly happened?
Tensions between the Kardashian sisters reached new heights in Summer of 2018. In an episode of KUWTK, Kim infamously referred to Kourtney as the "least interesting to look at" during a heated argument over Kourtney flaking out on the family Christmas card. Following this, Kourtney even skipped Kim's baby shower and the drama eventually spilled over onto Twitter.
Here's a glimpse of their heated arguments on Twitter
Kourtney stepped away from 'KUWTK' in 2020
In the entire scuffle, Khloe has sided with Kim, per Kourtney. After almost 14 years, Kourtney quit KUWTK in 2020, saying she felt "unfulfilled." In an interview, the social media personality explained her decision: "It became a toxic environment for me to continue, and balancing private moments with being on a reality show is hard. I'm following happiness." She returned for The Kardashians though.
Kim recently addressed her current equation with Kourtney
At a recent media interaction, Kim said, shooting "this season was probably my most emotional and frustrating internally with family." When asked if it was because of her falling out with Kourtney over the wedding issue, SKIMS's owner answered in the affirmative. However, she assured the interviewer that they were okay. "We're always family, that's how we were raised," she noted.
