For those of us who have siblings, you know the occasional sibling rivalry is inevitable. I'm the youngest of three, and while things never got physical, there have definitely been disagreements that led to shouting matches. It's no wonder why I'm drawn to the relationship dynamics of the Keeping Up With the Kardashians Kardashians siblings.
The Kardashian clan may be in the spotlight due to their overall successes, but they're still a family. We can trade ideas about how they can become better friends with each other, or we can acknowledge that siblings (and family in general) don't always get along. Focusing on the latter, let's just call a spade, a spade.
For sisters Kourtey and Kim, their relationship's had highs and lows — especially while learning about how to work with a sibling — but they've always navigated through it all at the end of the day. But their latest feud may be the one that fractures their relationship once and for all. Here's what happened.
What started Kourtney and Kim's fight in the first place?
Kourtney donned a gorgeous Dolce & Gabbana gown during her wedding to Travis Barker. Six months later, Kim struck her own deal with Dolce & Gabbana. It may seem like NBD, but this ultimately upset Kourtney.
In a short clip of The Kardashians, Kourtney and Kim are seen having a sit-down to see if they can begin mending the tension in their relationship. Explaining why she was upset, Kourtney told Kim, "Because it was my wedding, it really wasn't business for me."

Not good, I'll tell you that. In the same clip, Kourtney's seen saying, “It feels awful that my sister used my wedding as a business opportunity,” Kourtney tells the cameras. She also said, “She chose the money over me — that’s why she never truly asked me.”
It's not hard to see why Kourtney is upset. To feel like your sibling chose financial gain over checking in with you to see if you were okay with it gives us second-hand sadness.
What does Kim have to say about Kourtney's allegation?
Kim feels confused about why her sister is so upset with her. Per People, she said, "I have to talk to her and explain it to her. I just want her to be happy for me. It was too big of a moment for her not to be proud."
After listening to Kourtney explain how she felt, Kim chose to remind Kourtney of a Dolce & Gabbana campaign Kylie was a part of. She also brought up her wedding in Italy and how she never accused Kourtey of copying her wedding destination.
What's the overall verdict?
Despite their differences, Kourtney and Kim decided to forgive each other. Of her collab with Dolce & Gabbana, Peoplereported that Kim said, "I'm happy for the experience, but I'm sad and sorry that the experience ever hurt you."
It's still too early to say, but there's a chance Kourtney may decide she's tired of the back-and-forth drama with her sister, no matter what Kim says. Honestly, I don't know what I'd do if my older sister decided she didn't want to talk to me, so I hope this doesn't happen for both of their sakes.
