Popular reality series The Kardashians season 3 aired a brand new episode on Thursday, June 29, 2023, at 12.01 am ET on Hulu. It documented the Kardashian family navigating their personal lives and professional commitments while dealing with tensions surrounding strained relationships and sibling feuds, generating a significant amount of drama throughout the episode.
On this week's episode of The Kardashians, Kourtney and Kim's feud continued to brew deeper as the sisters navigated their relationship. The former felt Kim had stolen her thunder by collaborating with Dolce & Gabbana months after her wedding to Travis Barker, where she used the same designer for all her dresses.
To make matters worse, as the family gathered for Kim's birthday dinner, matriarch Kris Jenner called her daughter the "leader of the family," which received a smirk from Kourtney. Fans, however, were left with mixed opinions on the same. While some laughed it out, others didn't agree with the statement. One tweeted:
Kris calls Kim the "leader of the family" on The Kardashians
Season 3 of The Kardashians has seen a lot of dramatic moments throughout the installment. The family members were seen navigating their professional projects and tackling personal issues, which left them with emotional breakdowns. Moreover, the sibling feud between Kourtney and Kim only took a turn for the worse in this week's episode.
The family gathered for Kim's birthday dinner when momager Kris Jenner decided to speak about her daughter as a tribute, making an unintentional but glaring mistake along the way. While dedicating the evening to the SKIMS founder, Kris said:
"You are the strongest woman in the world, you are a rockstar, and I'm so proud of you. We all look up to you, you're a superpower, and you are pretty much now, at this point, the leader of our family. You're the person we all go to."
While Kim was left surprised but grateful at the statement, Kris' comment on The Kardashians saw Kourtney smirk. In a confessional, Kourtney was asked how she felt about Kim being the leader of the family. She said:
"I mean, if she wants to be. It's not a cult I'm following."
Kim, for her part, wasn't ready to hold the title as of yet. While she thanked her mother, she still felt the momager has a few years to go before she handed over the title to her daughter.
"I don't have time to take on those duties. I love you, I'm so honored, but I am not ready for you to pass the baton. You need at least five more years," she said in a confessional.
On this week's episode of The Kardashians, Kourtney opened up about why she couldn't have a conversation with her sister Kim over their feud. She felt that her sister copied her wedding and that she never asked how the Lemme founder felt about the collaboration just a few months after the wedding.
"It is who she is to her core. She’s so intolerable to even have a conversation with. She’s on her phone the whole time, she can hardly look up and is really hard to engage. It makes me want to run the other way. I just thought, "What else could you take from me? Could I have anything that is mine?""
