With the Dolce & Gabbana drama between sisters Kim Kardashianand Kourtney Kardashian coming to a head in season three of their reality show The Kardashians, viewers are in familiar waters as they navigate the back and forth between the two eldest siblings - because they have been sparring on screen for over a decade.
In a teaser clip for season four, which premiered on September 28th, it's clear that things get a whole lot worse. During a confessional both sisters explain that while they overcame their differences at the time, but watching it all back in the edit reopened some old wounds. Then, during the season four premiere episode, we see them play out one of their most explosive rows yet over the phone when Kim asks Kourtney if she's 'really happy' before revealing she has set up a group chat called 'Not Kourtney' so her friends and family can talk about her behind her back.
Although Kourtney previously said she had left behind her competitive tendencies when it comes to her younger sister Kim, she was clearly very upset by both the group chat and Kim's Dolce & Gabbana collaboration. And it's hard to tell if the sisters will ever go back to the way things were.
This isn't the first time they've fought, by any means. In fact, the sisters have never really seen eye-to-eye. Let's look at the evidence...
1. Dolce & Gabbana
During a previous trailer for season three, Kourtney accused Kim of using her wedding to Travis Barkeras a 'business opportunity.' Kravis' Portofino, Italy, nuptials were hosted by Italian designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. Several months later, Kim debuted her Dolce & Gabbana collaboration at Milan Fashion Week - a move Kourtney clearly took offence to, which then played out on the show. She tearfully told their sister Kendall Jenner that Kim stole her 'whole wedding vibe.'
Kim shut down this claim in a confessional interview, saying that she did not discuss the deal with the designers at Kourtney's wedding, but rather the designers were inspired by her vintage Dolce & Gabbana looks that she rocked during the multi-day event. During the episode Kim also noted that she could say Kourtney copied elements from her lavish 2014 wedding toKanye West. Both siblings wed in Italy and had opera singer Andrea Boccelli perform.
2. Kourtney and Kim's physical fight
Likely the sisters' most memorable dramatic moment came during a 2020 episode of KUWTK when Kim was actually arguing with her younger sister, Kendall Jenner. Kim declared that their momager, Kris Jenner, is so used to her and Khloe showing up to work whilst Kendall, Kylie and Kourtney always take a back seat.
Kourtney took offense to Kim's comments, saying, 'I will literally f**k you up if you mention it again.' Kourtney states that she's fed up with the 'narrative' she believes Kim is pushing that she's the only member of the famous family to put in the work.
They then both leaped up and got into a physical fight. The tense, dramatic scene brings Kourtney to tears and leaves Kim with scratch marks on her arms. Whilst Khloe is left scrubbing Kim's makeup off her walls...
3. The fight over the Candyland themed party
When Kim and Kourtney's daughters, North and Penelope, wanted a joint Candyland-themed birthday bash, Kourtney expressed her concerns over the theme during a 2019 episode of KUWTK. As Kourtney continues trying to push her healthy agenda, Kim shouts, 'It's a Candyland-themed party! That's what the party is about. It's not gluten-free land over here.'
4. "Kim, there's people that are dying"
This one is slightly more tame but still hilarious. During a 2011 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kim was in tears while on the family's vacation to Bora Bora.
After Kim tearfully declared, 'My diamond earring came off in the ocean. My diamond earring's gone,' Kourtney annoyedly replied, 'Kim, there's people that are dying.' The moment became a major meme.
5. Christmas card drama
As Kim tried to organise a family photo shoot for the annual Christmas card during a 2018 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kourtney pushed back, refusing to adjust her schedule to accommodate one of Kim's meetings.
'Maybe if you had a f**king business that you were passionate about then you would know what it takes to run a f**king business, but you don't. So don't even act like you know what I'm talking about,' Kim screams at her sister.
When Kourtney walks away, Kim declares, 'She's the least exciting to look at, so she can be out. She doesn't do s**t. She doesn't know what it's like to actually have work to do.'
6. Kim accuses Kourtney of copying her style
During a 2019 episode of KUWTK, Kourtney is trying on looks for her birthday party. When Khloe FaceTimes Kim and tells her that Kourtney doesn't care about her fashion opinion, Kim replies, 'Well, if you don't care... why do you keep picking out all the same clothes?'
'Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about. I've never dressed like you," Kourtney replies. Kim then talks about having a 'relationship' with certain designers, calling Kourtney out for reaching out to Thierry Mugler.
Later, Kourtney calls the spat 'ridiculous,' saying, 'Kim and I have completely different styles, so even if we wear the same designer, we wear it in a completely different way. The store may send me clothes that are more Kim's style, and I send them back.'
7. 'Fake humanitarian hoe'
The fight over shared fashion escalated when Kourtney called out Kim for focusing her energy on superficial problems while studying to become a lawyer. This insult rubbed Kim the wrong way, prompting her to call out her sister for what she considered her 'fake' efforts.
'You f**king fake humanitarian hoe. I actually do s**t for the world, and you f**king fake it and act like, 'Oh, there's people dying, Kim!'" Kim imitated, referencing Kourtney's diamond earring moment. 'And what the f**k are you doing about it? So shut the f**k up.'
8. 'You're a f*cking witch and I f*cking hate you.'
In season four of The Kardashians, we see Kourtney and Kim at it again. During a phone conversation between Kim and Kourtney, they rehash the Dolce wedding argument. Kim says, 'You have a vendetta. You hate us, you're a different person and we all talk about it. All of your friends call us complaining. We're on a group chat that's actually labelled "not Kourtney" so we know and have to funnel what your friends are saying to us.'
Kim then asks, 'Are you happy?' and Kourtney says, 'Yes! Not when I'm on the phone with you.' The heated conversation ends with Kim revealing that Kourtney's kids have come to her with problems they have and Kourtney says, 'Is that helpful? It's everyone against me. It's like you're a f*cking witch'.
