It just goes to show you, people still have strong feelings about the Kardashians. Most of those strong feelings are negative, but still. Many people yelled at me for saying I was “Team Kim” in the particular conflict that seems to be roiling the Kardashian sisters during this season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. The three sisters had a major blowout which involved Kourtney being a lazy, mean a–hole and Kim telling Kourtney that she’s “the least interesting one to look at.” I think the crux of the sister-drama is that Kourtney doesn’t do much, she’s doesn’t “pull her weight” as a member of the clan, and instead of doing the bare minimum, she sits back and snipes at Khloe and Kim. Well, in Sunday night’s episode, the sisters go into sister-therapy and apparently the root of the problem is that Kourtney has a new therapist and she’s been different ever since.
“Kourtney’s got a new boyfriend and a new therapist and I don’t know which one’s the problem, but she’s a different human being,” said Kim, 37, referring to Kourtney’s recent ex Younes Bendjima. “She’s so nasty to us.” Khloé, 34, and Kourtney’s ex Scott Disick, 35, also raised their concerns about Kourtney’s new therapist — “If you’re watching, we hate you,” quipped Kim at one point — before the three sisters finally sat down to try to hash things out.
Kim suggested they see a therapist together, but Kourtney, 39, shot the idea down before falling silent, interrupting the conversation to edit a photo on her phone. The move infuriated both Khloé and Kim, who stormed out of the room.
“If you don’t care to fix relationships with your sisters, I can’t force you to,” said Khloé. Kourtney broke down into tears, explaining that she felt like they didn’t have her back. “They don’t take my feelings into consideration,” she said. “I don’t even want to be around my sisters because it just gives me anxiety.”
Kim and Khloé, meanwhile, felt that the main issue was Kourtney being unable to “handle any sort of responsibility.”
“Listen, there’s two new things in her life: boyfriend, and then her therapist,” Khloé told momager Kris Jenner. “Ever since then she’s been a raging bitch and instead of her owning it, she takes it out on everyone else. It’s so rude. It’s not how you raised any of us. We’ve said it in so many different ways. She’s so not engaged and I think that’s what infuriates everyone.”
Kourtney eventually agrees to see a family therapist with her sisters and they all have it out. Basically it became about how Kourtney Has Feelings, that her sisters “gave her anxiety” and were always so “mean” to her and she thinks they never seem “genuinely” happy for her. To quote from one of my favorite movies, Working Girl, “Who the f–k died and made you Grace Kelly?” Kim and Khloe countered back with understanding that Kourtney is going through something and that she’s got other interests beyond the family, but that’s no reason to skip out on work commitments. You get the idea.
Basically, I know all of this is “fake” and yet… there’s something down at the root of it which is true. Kourtney is the least interesting one. She’s the one who does the least as far as the show/brand is concerned. She doesn’t want to be part of it anymore, but she still wants to get paid and be famous and all of that. And she wants to act like she’s “above it all” now. Just fire her from the show.

it’s all a work
But Kourtney IS doing her job. She’s helped boost ratings with this “fake fight” drama. She decided to be the “villain” of the show for this season. Rob is going to be back on the show next season and maybe he’ll be the “villain” next time around.
+1.
All of this is for the ratings: new storyline.
Yep. nobody is buying this nonsense.
Maybe kourtney’s sick of the enmeshment in that family. Khloe seems especially overbearing.
Hopefully her therapist is helping her get some distance.
I 100# believe this is a real issue. I used to watch the show all the time and it has come up again and again over the years. They have had major fights over it. And Kim and Khloé are right. Kourney is lazy when it comes to their work. She shows up late or not at all for meetings and photo shoots and then uses the excuse that she has kids. As if millions of women aren’t working mothers too. It’s not like what she does is difficult or even time-consuming. I just think she doesn’t want to do it but also still wants all the perks that come with being on the show . They SHOULD fire her.
💯
I think Kourtney should get a raise. A feminist gossip site just produced a few paragraphs about the content of KUWTK. She is definitely the one working more for the brand.
Link? Sources? You’re really going to drop something like that anans then make me go to the Oracle?
I am talking about the one you’re reading 😉
Those perfectly v’d pillows in the background are freakin’ me out.
Where are they?! (I’ve never watched more than a youtube clip of the show but I am still reluctant to believe that this is any of their houses).
and now I can’t un see them LOL
That’s funny ! I was focused on those too !
OMG, the room that whole fight takes place in is something else…something I’d never imagine money being exchanged to create, but whatever.
That picture where Kourtney’s wearing some see-thru shit, standing next to Kim, is awful. Caitlyn Jenner wishes she could look like that.
She’s right,they are extremely fake and empty but I think it’s all script, there’s not enough consciousness to really recognize the obvious,not even taking them all to hundreds years of therapy.
I wouldn’t want this level of enmeshment with my sisters. Not even with my younger sister, who is my best friend.
Kourtney seems unable to just say that she needs space from her family. She should get some courage and just say it already, instead of acting so incredibly rude.
Nobody is acting right here.
Agreed with everything you said!Kourtney is a self entitled b***,I’m sorry!..If you’ve watched the show,you’d know that Kourtney is in fact the coldest,bitchiest of the sisters,& this fight is real.Over the years they’ve always mentioned it & Kourtney got a pass because she was always pregnant,now that she sees that her sisters are more “ambitious”even after having kids,she feels insecure that viewers are wondering what does she do.Kourtney has the best body & is the most Gorgeous of the sisters in my opinion,but she’s vanilla & honestly adds nothing to the show,she should be fired!
People here complaining because Kourtney is bitchy. Well. At least she’s not making baby voices (too much) and butchering her face to oblivion.
Her demeanor is also her brand. Everyone in this Family has a part:
Rob is the crybaby. Kim is the center of the universe. Kylie is kim’s klone. Kendall is the self obssessed “hard working” model. Kourt is the bitch who only cares about her kids and keeping Scott at arms length. And Khloe is the foul mouthed rude crass bitch who loves a messy relationship. Kris is the mastermind moneymaker.
Just wait in a couple of seasons Kylie or Kendall will be the villains. Maybe Kendall will be pregnant to complete the klan. And be villain in season 19.
Oohh did I just make a prophecy???
I predicted that Kylie would get pregnant as a teen and I was right ! I think your predictions may be spot on !
Also, you’re right. They all play a “role”. This is Kourtney’s role. Really what does Kim do other than complain about everyone else? That’s her role. Each season the villain is someone new. They are just going to stretch the hell out of this until the grand kids are old enough to become the main characters of the show. We will then see North take Kim’s spot, Penelope take Kourt’s spot, and True take Khloe’s spot.
I’m going to say this as often as it is relevant: Kourtney has been working on the Kardashian-Jenner brand since before she was out of high school. She worked for Kris when Kris was revamping Caitlyn’s career, and even loaned Kris money out of her trust fund. Kourtney does not see herself as the one who doesn’t work; she sees herself as retired. She sold her relationship ins and outs with Scott for years. She gave birth basically on camera. The rest of the sisters + Rob would and could never.
Kourtney was way more interesting than Kim for YEARS on the show, and now that Kim has finally found a version of herself that has opinions, she’s surpassed Kourtney. So just let Kourtney be retired and have hot St. Tropez sex and raise her babies.
