KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN ACCUSES SISTER KIM OF A “GREEDY ACT OF TREACHERY” THAT NEARLY RUINED HER WEDDING AS THEIR BAD BLOOD CONTINUES.

KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN’S third wedding to Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker was a lavish affair. Sponsored by Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana, it took place May 22 at the designers’ luxe villa in Portofino, Italy. The seaside town is known for yachts, stunning views — and, for Kim Kardashian at least, wheeling and dealing. Turns out, the SKIMS founder, 42, spun a D&G collab worth a reported $15 million out of Kourtney’s big day. Or, as the 44-year-old deadpans in the season 3 trailer for the family’s Hulu show, The Kardashians, “My sister used my wedding as a business opportunity.”

And, as sis Khloé Kardashian puts it in the clip, Kourt is “livid.” She was blindsided, says an insider. “She’s saying the deal was a greedy act of treachery and way out of line.” Now sources tell Star, not since Kim and Kourtney’s infamous physical fight in 2017 have the two been so at odds with each other — and it’s not just for TV. “They can’t be together longer than five minutes without fighting,” says an insider. “It’s really toxic.”

LONGTIME RIVALS

The feud goes back to when the pair were kids. At just 18 months apart in age, the oldest of Kris Jenner and the late Robert Kardashian’s three girls were more like twins, says an insider. “They were always competing for their parents’ attention — especially their dad’s.” The pair grew up trading barbs and physically tussling. “When they fight, there’s no limit to how far they’ll take it,” continues the insider. “They’ve been doing it all their lives, but that doesn’t make it healthy.” Indeed, Kourtney later said of her rage-filled 2017 attack on her sis, “I probably blacked out.”

After that onscreen smackdown, the mom of three took a step back, both from her sister and from their E! reality show. The move infuriated Kim, who questioned her work ethic. (A source says she called it “a brat move.”) “I’m in a different place,” the POOSH founder later said, adding that she’d started therapy. “I love to keep my little bubble and as they say, ‘Protect your energy.’”

LOVE TRIANGLE

Enter Travis, who further strained their relationship. Despite the 47-year-old’s seemingly insatiable need for PDA with his now-wife, he’s gone on record saying he first lusted after Kim. The drummer called the mom of four “f**king hot,” in his 2015 autobiography, revealing that he even tried to date her. Then he doubled down in an interview that same year in which he gushed, “Kim was eye candy.”

Even though Kourtney’s the one with the ring on her finger, says the insider, she’s “mortified” her guy ever crushed on her sister. You can bet that’s something Kim takes full advantage of. “She sees it as validation that she’s hotter than her sister,” says the insider. “It makes Kourt insecure and angry.”

For her part, Kim rolls her eyes at what she sees as Kourt’s puppy-dog devotion to Travis. “Kim finds it pretty pathetic that Kourtney has become this robot who bows down to her husband like he’s some kind of god,” says the insider.

FUEL TO THE FIRE

Maybe she’s onto something, though: According to the insider, Kourtney’s confidence is on the upswing. “He treats her like a queen and she feels empowered to stick up for herself and not take Kim’s BS,” explains the insider. “She’s like, there’s a reason Kim keeps striking out with guys!” All of which means the sniping is just getting started!
