Kim Kardashian: Egos, envy and emotional turmoil are no strangers to sibling relationships. However, these elements amplified to the point of becoming destructive in the case of the Kardashian clan. The familial discord, primarily between Kourtney and Kim Kardashian, marked an unsavoury and dramatic end to their reality TV show – Keeping Up With the Kardashians (KUWTK).
Unleashing the Beasts: A Family Feud Turns Physical
It was not merely heated exchanges or dramatic fall-outs. The sisterly squabble escalated to a disturbing level of physical violence. During one tense encounter, Kourtney aggressively grabbed Kim’s arm, leaving a bloody mark. Moments later, Kim found herself hurled against a wall. Refusing to back down, Kim retaliated with two slaps, marking a grim episode in their off-camera lives as well.
Shifting Priorities and Estranged Relations
The genesis of the feud is linked to a change in Kourtney’s therapy sessions. While there’s no evidence suggesting that the new therapist triggered the discord, Kourtney’s changed perspective, nudged by her counsellor, seems to have stirred the pot. As a result, Kim and Khloe found a common ground – their resentment towards Kourtney, whose behaviour they perceived as increasingly unpleasant.
The End of a Reality TV Empire
The fallout culminated in an explosive event in 2020. An ugly altercation left Kim bloodied and shocked their fans. Consequently, Kourtney announced her exit from the show, citing unbearable levels of toxicity as the primary reason. With KUWTK’s core premise being familial bonds, it was evident that the show couldn’t withstand such hostility and estrangement. Kourtney’s departure, unlike the reduced appearances of Kendall, Rob, or Kylie, hit the show hard, given her significant fanbase.
The ‘Kardashian Effect’ Fades
KUWTK may have been predestined for a tumultuous conclusion. Yet, the severity of the sibling rivalry, the bloody altercations, and ultimately, the loss of a key character left fans and spectators shell-shocked. A show that built its brand on showcasing a close-knit family ended with a testament to estrangement, leaving many to question its authenticity. Nonetheless, the conclusion remains – the bitter Kardashian rivalry was instrumental in spelling the end for KUWTK. What are your thoughts? Share in the comments below.
