THEY ’VE always had a love-hate relationship, sometimes a lot more hate than love evident in their actions. In fact, it’s no secret they’ve often been at each other’s throats – on occasion quite literally so.
From bitchy clapbacks to full-on physical brawls, Kourtney Kardashian Barker and Kim Kardashian have certainly had a difficult relationship over the years.
But their latest skirmish has tongues wagging even among fans who’ve witnessed this animosity for ages because of the viciousness involved.
The latest fight recently played out in the first episode of the fourth season of The Kardashians. It was set off when they separately collaborated with Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana.
Kourtney (44), who used them for her Italian wedding to drummer Travis Barker, felt Kim (42) disrespected her with the collaboration.
The disagreement came to a head in a tense phone conversation, with Kim revealing she has a secret group chat with Kourtney’s close friends where they discuss her negative attitude.
“You’re a different person. We all talk about it and we’re on a group chat that’s actually labelled ‘Not Kourtney’,” Kim said.
The call ended with an emotional Kourtney calling Kim an “egotistical narcissist” and telling her, “you’re just a witch and I hate you”.
Although the Kardashians are likely to be hamming it up for the cameras it’s possible there’s real tension between the two, and families in which sibling rivalry is rife can relate to their battles.
These kinds of fights are common, experts say. But what can you do if you’re caught up in it? Experts share their insights.
