Season 15 of Keeping Up with the Kardashians hasn’t even premiered yet and it’s already causing drama for the show’s stars.
Earlier this week, E! released a preview of Sunday’s episode, and it shows a very enraged Kim Kardashian yelling at Kourtney Kardashian over planning the family Christmas card. Kourtney apparently has a scheduling conflict, and instead of trying to find a time that works for everyone, she instead says, “I’m leaving at 4 p.m. and I don’t care what anyone says.”
Despite an attempted mediation from mom Kris Jenner, Kim eventually blows up on her sister.
“No one wants you in the fucking shoot,” Kim says to Kourtney. “Get the fuck out of here! Get the fuck out of here and go! No one wants you in the fucking shoot! I’m planning it. …So we don’t want you in the shoot!”
To Kim, Kourtney’s conflict can’t be that important because she seemingly doesn’t work as much as her or her other sisters. “Maybe if you had a fucking business that you were passionate about then you would know what it takes to run a fucking business,” Kim yells. “But you don’t, so don’t even act like you know what I’m talking about.”
Kourtney left the room afterward, but Kim continued to yell about her. “I need Kourtney to not be so fucking annoying with a stick up her ass, like she runs this shit because she doesn’t. She is the least exciting to look at,” Kim says.
Everything in the clip happened last fall, but fans aren’t letting Kim forget what happened — especially her dig about Kourtney’s looks. A number of people trolled Kim’s Instagram comments with the comment directed at her.

If that weren’t enough, another clip shows the two sisters fighting yet again. “I’m not here to be mistreated by my fucking family,” Kourtney tells Khloe over the phone. “Kim saying that I’m the least interesting to look at — who even speaks like that? You guys just have really different values than me. I choose to be a mother to my three kids. I’m not here looking for another job. I already work enough — more than I would like to. What’s natural to me is being a mother. And I don’t expect everyone to have the same interests.”
Kim tries to grab Khloe’s phone multiple times, and when she eventually speaks to Kourtney, she goes off again. “You don’t do shit!” Kim yells. “You would honestly think that we have more jobs, so [you should] work around our schedule. You do whatever the fuck you want to do and you don’t do shit, so be accommodating to the people that actually do shit.”
Kourtney responded by calling Kim a “very distraught, evil human being.” Thanks to some intervening from Kris, Kim finally apologizes for her comment about Kourtney’s looks, but she’s not having it.
“No, fuck you, Kim,” Kourtney says. “You meant it. So fuck you. I am not going to live my life around people that make me not feel good on a daily basis.”
The back-and-forth continues for a bit, until Kim declares that she’ll just do the family card with Kanye and her kids. (Spoiler: the whole family — including Kourtney — did the Christmas card).
Kim continued to receive backlash for her behavior, and she eventually addressed it on Twitter.
Oh word, did Kourt tell you this? She sure wanna live that Kardashian life though, and BTW this photo shoot was our Christmas card. Family memories we were creating. Just tune in before you start acting like you know things. https://t.co/9Gaobo5NuQ

Meanwhile, Kourtney told E! News that the issues with her sisters are ongoing. “I think it started at the end of season 14, a lot of tension building between us,” she said. ” felt like every day almost I was being picked on and criticized and I just couldn’t take it any more.”
She added that viewers of the show will see the process of the sisters getting their relationships back on track throughout the season.
Season 15 premieres Sunday on E! at 9/8 central.
