The feud between Kim Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian escalated following a tense phone call, making their relationship even more strained. In the season 4 premiere of The Kardashians, which was available for streaming on September 28th, Kim (42) and Kourtney (44) had a joint confessional where the production team provided viewers with a timeline of events.
“The past season was incredibly challenging, to be honest. However, we managed to move past it and have some fun. We had open and honest conversations, resolving any issues that arose,” Kim candidly shared with the cameras, explaining how they came close to resolving their feud. “However, things took a turn when we watched the edited episodes of our show. I started hearing what she was saying about me, and she heard what I was saying about her. It reignited our anger, bringing up a lot of emotions.”
In the meantime, Kourtney expressed how difficult it was for her to relive their heated argument on screen. Initially, the sisters were able to settle their differences, but a tense phone call ultimately led Kourtney to back out of a planned family trip to Mexico.
Viewers caught a glimpse of the catalyst for the new division when Kim reached out to Kourtney to give her a heads up about an upcoming trip to Italy for a collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana. (Their conflict initially unfolded during season 3, when Kourtney accused Kim of exploiting her marriage to Travis Barker for business purposes.)
"I understand both perspectives. We tend to interpret things and get worked up about them. I have my own thoughts that stir up emotions, just like you," Kim reassured Kourtney. Kourtney expressed how revisiting past footage made her unwilling to be in the presence of her family.
Kim made an effort to find a resolution, stating, "It is completely up to you and your decision. However, I believe it would be beneficial for us to discuss this matter. I became upset because I realized that nothing transpired during the wedding. We didn't even have a conversation." Nevertheless, Kourtney was deeply affected by this remark, feeling that her emotions were not being recognized.
"I believe your curiosity was sparked by what you witnessed at the wedding, as no one showed any prior interest. You observed something that belonged to me, not you, and suddenly desired it," the founder of Poosh expressed to her sister. "You fail to grasp the true essence. It is not about the garments."
Kourtney persistently accused Kim, asserting that her self-centeredness was the underlying cause of the problem.
Kourtney accused Kim of obsessing over insignificant details due to her own self-centered mindset. She emphasized that Kim's inability to be happy for others and her constant complaining were evident at Kourtney's wedding. Kourtney believed that Kim's resentment stemmed from not being the center of attention herself.
Kim was taken aback by Kourtney's accusations and questioned why she harbored such strong negative feelings towards her. She challenged Kourtney to reflect on the root of her hatred and anger. Kim insisted that she had genuinely been happy for Kourtney and wondered why Kourtney couldn't reciprocate those feelings. She suggested that Kourtney's animosity stemmed from a deep-seated dislike towards her and accused her of being a completely different person, a sentiment shared by others.

During the heated call, Kim claimed she wasn’t the only person concerned about Kourtney‘s recent behavior.
"All of our friends constantly call us to complain. They come to us, thinking they are confiding in us, but then they turn around and tell us the complete opposite," expressed the KKW Beauty founder. "As a result, we are all utterly confused. To navigate through this, we created a group chat labeled 'Not Kourtney' where we exchange and discuss what your friends have been sharing with us."
The situation further escalated as Kourtney pointed the blame at Kim, asserting, "It all revolves around you. You are consumed by your own self-image. Everything you do is solely about you and how you appear to the world. So, let's set the record straight. Exclude my entire part from the episode. I don't care about anyone's opinion of me."
She continued, "I feel content. However, that feeling diminishes when I am conversing with you over the phone. My happiness stems from having a fulfilling life, away from all of you. And I am specifically referring to you."
According to Kim, Kourtney's children have also reached out, expressing their own concerns. "We are all worried. We genuinely believe that you are not truly happy," she remarked, referring to Kourtney's kids with Scott Disick: Mason, 13, Penelope, 10, and Reign, 8. "Your children have even approached me with their problems, highlighting how they perceive your behavior."
The comment, however, caused the argument to shift, leaving Kourtney in tears.
"Find something else to do with your life. I never gossip about anyone privately," she remarked. "Is that your intention? To make it a battle between you, my friends, my children, and everyone else against me. You are nothing but a hateful and detestable person."
In a subsequent part of the episode, Kourtney expressed her emotions more clearly.
"After watching the edited version, numerous thoughts started flooding my mind. From my perspective, it seemed like Kim was utilizing any means possible to intentionally harm me," she conveyed to the cameras during their shared confession. "It felt as though she was manipulating others to turn against me, and unfortunately, we both reached a point where we were ashamed of our actions."
Kourtney compared the exchange with Kim to other hurtful memories from her past.

She concluded by expressing her distress at being reminded of the hurtful tendency in her family to say mean things to one another, a characteristic that has persisted for many years. This is something she strives to address and change in therapy, so the reminders of such behavior are particularly painful to her. She pondered why her family would treat her in such a way.
