SISTERS AT WAR
Kourtney Kardashian’s s fur y at Khloé’s cheating boyfriend has boiled over into a family feud
For years, Khloé Kardashian was an attack dog when it came to Kourtney Kardashian’s baby daddy and on-off boyfriend, Scott Disick. Khloé, who had a love-hate relationship with her sister’s man, once even slapped the hard-partying bad boy across the face. Through it all, Khloé has hardly ever made apologies for her words or actions. “Sometimes I’m way too direct,” she has said of her behavior, “but I am all about protecting the ones I love.” Now it’s Kourtney’s turn to be the protective sister. The mom of three, 39, is furious at Khloé’s boyfriend, Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Tristan Thompson. As In Touch exclusively reported, he had unprotected sex with a woman in November, hooked up with her again in February and was shown in recently surfaced 2017 surveillance videos making out with one woman while getting groped by another (all while Khloé was pregnant). Making matters worse, the cheating scandal broke just days before Khloé, 33, gave birth to her and Tristan’s daughter, True, on April 12. “Kourtney hates Tristan,” says an insider. Now that anger has come between the once-inseparable sisters as Khloé chooses to stand by her man. “Khloé and Kourtney have been at odds, yelling and screaming,” says a source. “Friends are worried they’ll never be the same again.”
HYPOCRITE OR HELPER? Khloé, who’s 2,300 miles away from her family while living in Ohio with Tristan, is hurt by Kourtney’s “tough love,” says the source. From Khloé’s standpoint, she was hard on Scott but supportive of Kourtney, who took Scott back time and again after his drinking binges and drugfueled late nights out. Says the source, “Khloé
thinks Kourtney could be more sensitive to what she’s going through.”
Kourtney sees it differently. Yes, she gave Scott multiple chances, “but at least she spoke up and threw him out when she had to,” says the insider. (Anyone who’s ever seen an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians can attest to that.) Kourtney believes her younger sister isn’t standing up for herself. Tristan, 27, “cheated on Khloé multiple times, in front of the whole world, and he didn’t even care that he got caught doing it,” adds the insider. “She hates that Tristan walks all over Khloé and she sits there and takes it. Khloé used to be the toughest Kardashian. Kourtney hates what Khloé has become, which is weak.”
But after years of fertility issues and a bad marriage to former NBA star Lamar Odom, Khloé has made it clear she isn’t about to walk away from the man who finally gave her a baby — even if he has major flaws. “Kourtney is happy Khloé finally has the child she’s always wanted,” says the insider, “but she just can’t condone the choices Khloé is making.” ◼
