that she was trying to cash in on her new role and steal their limelight.”
Competition
The pal adds: “It quickly became clear that Caitlyn was in competition with the girls; and when she landed the MAC deal, Khloe was fuming as Caitlyn knew she was hoping to secure a similar endorsement.
“The same thing happened with the H&M sportswear line, which Kourtney had set her heart on, and that tipped them over the edge and led to a rift between them.
“Things reached a new low when the girls discovered I Am Cait is competing against KUWTK at the Emmy Awards in September. It was the final straw as they feel she’s trying to step on their toes in every aspect of their careers.
“There was a showdown a couple of weeks ago at Khloe’s house, where Caitlyn accused the girls of being ‘ridiculous’ and she begged them to stop being greedy. The girls refused to see her point of view, so Caitlyn stormed out and they haven’t spoken since.”
family rift
Another sore point is that in the wake of Caitlyn coming out, she gave several interviews where she accused her ex, 60-year-old Kris Jenner, of mistreating her during their 23-year marriage – calling her “controlling” and even saying she “wasn’t very nice.”
Pals say Kourtney, 37, Kim, 35, and Khloe, 31, were left enraged by the public slating of their mum; and despite spending Father’s Day last year declaring their love for their stepdad on social media, this year the girls stayed uncharacteristically silent.
It was only Kendall, 20, and Kylie, 18, who mentioned their dad on social media; pals say the sisters are now split into two groups and it’s threatening to tear the family apart.
A source says: “Kourtney, Kim and Khloe knew exactly what they were doing by refusing to acknowledge Caitlyn on Father’s Day, but they refused to put on a front and write fake messages.
“Kendall and Kylie are standing by their dad and have begged their sisters to see sense and stop causing so much drama, as they fear the entire family could be ripped apart by this if it continues.
“Kris is planning to stage an intervention to stop things from escalating any further, but pals are dubious it can work. Kourtney, Kim and Khloe are determined to keep Caitlyn out of their lives and, for Caitlyn, that will be painful to live with.”
