Fiery showdown - Dolce Vita drama continues
In The Kardashians season 4 episode 1, the ongoing Dolce Vita feud between Kim and Kourtney Kardashian took center stage. A seemingly harmless phone call quickly escalated into a heated confrontation. Kourtney accused Kim of narcissism, while Kim responded with shocking revelations, one of which was the existence of a group chat called "Not Kourtney," which included her family and friends minus Kourtney.
This moment intensified emotions and sparked accusations of gaslighting from fans. Moreover, Kim's mention of issues with Kourtney's children added to the tension. This pivotal moment led Kourtney to make a significant decision—to skip the family's Cabo holiday, which resulted in her frustratingly remarking:
"You're just a f*cking witch, and I f*cking hate you."
Whale sighting sparks mixed emotions
During their Cabo vacation, the Kardashian-Jenner family witnessed an unexpected and breathtaking moment as whales migrated remarkably close to the shore due to mating season. While Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner marveled at the majestic creatures, Khloe Kardashian, who has been scared of whales, confronted her fear in a stressed but humorous way.
However, it was Khloe's candid and comical response that stole the show. In her confessional, Khloe shared a humorous anecdote about her daughter, True Thompson, "bullying" Khloe by drawing whales despite being fully aware of her fear of them.
"Everyone turns into an a*shole at some point."
Talking thirst traps and relationship status discussions
The family's inaugural evening in Cabo unfolded as a delightful blend of bonding and laughter. As they converged for a beachfront dinner, the sisters immersed themselves in meaningful conversations.
Khloe took a moment to emphasize that her relationship status with Tristian hasn't changed, despite him temporarily residing in her house. Both Khloe and Kendall affirmed their singlehood, relishing the opportunity to bask in the sun and capture "thirst traps." Meanwhile, Kendall gave her take on being single by saying:
"I don't chase, I attract."
Amidst the jovial atmosphere, the sisters embarked on a playful discourse concerning their preferred terms for referring to breasts. Each sister contributed her unique perspective, resulting in a lighthearted exchange filled with humor and camaraderie.
