Kim Kardashian vs. Kourtney Kardashian

The ongoing feud between Kim and Kourtney Kardashian reached one of its most publicly documented peaks in 2026, continuing fallout from a conflict rooted in competing Dolce & Gabbana collaborations that placed family loyalty, creative ownership, and business competition in direct tension. The conflict's origin lies in Kourtney's deeply personal wedding to Travis Barker in 2022, which featured a bespoke Dolce & Gabbana collection created in close collaboration with the Italian fashion house. Less than a year later, Kim creative-directed a full Dolce & Gabbana runway show drawing extensively from the brand's 1990s archive — territory that overlapped meaningfully with the aesthetic language that had defined Kourtney's wedding. Kourtney felt her creative vision had been appropriated by her sister for commercial gain, using the same fashion house and similar visual references without acknowledgment. The conflict was extensively documented across multiple seasons of The Kardashians on Hulu, providing audiences with unusually direct access to a family business dispute that would normally remain private. By Season 5, Kim made a measured public statement claiming there was a 'huge misconception that Kourtney and I hate each other,' suggesting awareness of the public perception problem. By Season 6 in 2026, Kim featured Kourtney in a SKIMS x Dolce campaign — a deliberate gesture of reconciliation that implied the sisters were publicly performing unity for the cameras. Kourtney's emphasis throughout the conflict has been on protecting her identity within a family empire that has historically subsumed individual personalities into the collective Kardashian brand. Her marriage to Barker and the birth of their child Rocky in 2023 reinforced her desire to define a personal space distinct from the family business. The feud reflects real tensions between individual autonomy and collective brand management in one of entertainment's most commercially sophisticated family operations.
