Quick Scoop

Kim and Kourtney Kardashian’s big public blowup was a physical argument on Keeping Up With the Kardashians in 2020, when tensions over work ethic and scheduling escalated into slapping, scratching, and Kim reportedly bleeding. The fallout was serious enough that production shut down for a week afterward.

What sparked it

The fight happened after Kourtney felt criticized about how much she was working, while Kim framed the issue as Kourtney not being cooperative with filming and the family’s schedule. That clash turned into one of the show’s most talked-about moments because it went beyond a normal sister argument.

Why people still talk about it

The feud kept resurfacing because both sisters later addressed it in interviews and on the show, and in 2024 Kourtney said the drama was mostly a result of them being sisters, even as fans kept analyzing who was “right”. More recently, the moment has continued to circulate in throwback discussions online, showing it still gets attention as a classic Kardashian family clash.
