There is drama swirling around the Kardashian family, or maybe "within" the family is the best way to put it. Kourtney Kardashian has been openly distancing herself from the family for a while now, leaning into a more “grounded” lifestyle, but it seems like there may me other reasons the Lemme founder is not hanging around her family as much, and it allegedly has to do with her ex-partner Scott Disick being extremely involved with the family, and Kris Jenner’s sensitivity to Disick. In a recent article published by InTouch Magazine, the magazine claims that Kourtney has been trying to convince her mother to limit Scott’s access to the family, and he is actually a negative presence for all of them. The Kardashian family have always been open to Scott and included him in family gatherings, which is why Kourtney is seemingly trying to change that. The source told the magazine: Kourt has been chipping away at Kris [Jenner] for years now, telling her that Scott is pure poison and he has no place at the family dinner table. It annoys the hell out of her that he’s still on the payroll and being allowed to tag along with her mom and sisters on a regular basis. It’s the main reason they go their own way these days and tend to skip most of the family gatherings. But Kris, Kim and Khloe — as well as many others in and around the family — think she’s being cruel and vindictive.After Kourtney and Scott Disick split for good back in 2015 after almost a nine year on-again, off-again relationship. The two share three children together, Mason (age 16), Penelope (age 13) and Reign (age 11), which is a big part of the reason the Kardashian family has been so welcoming towards Disick. Also, after almost a decade of Scott being around all the time and becoming such a big part of the family, as well as the show, the family has gotten quite close to Scott, especially Kris and Khloe, who have been vocally supportive of his recent weight loss. Kourtney however seems to really be settling into her new life with Travis Barker, and is allegedly trying to cut Disick out. The magazine claims this all came to a head this Father’s Day when Kourtney decided to ignore him, which didn’t go over well with the rest of the family.They thought it was pretty tacky on her part to totally ignore him like that [on Father’s Day]. [They] have told Scott to hang in there and rise above Kourtney’s pettiness.If this is all to be believed, I can’t imagine Disick is happy about it. The reality star had a hard time when Kourtney and Travis Barker got together in 2021. He also openly had an even harder time processing the situation when Kourtney and Barker eventually got engaged. If there is potentially a rift between the two, it’s a pretty big departure from the co-parenting relationship the two had for years, and the magazine alleges that the kids are being caught in the middle. She won’t back down and make nice with him, even if it does make her unpopular. But the ones you have to feel sorry for most in all this are the kids, they’ve been stuck in the middle of this toxicity for their whole lives.There are always rumors about fighting between the Kardashian clan, especially as Kourtney has been openly trying to pursue a different lifestyle with her new family. However if this is true, I hope it is resolved soon, especially if the kids are involved. Unfortunately for Kourtney, Disick has strong bonds with the Kardashians, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. They are pretty loyal, even after relationships end, and Disick being the father to three of the children adds another layer to the bond.We’ll have to see if these rumors of a rift have any truth when season 8 of The Kardashians airs sometime this year. In the meantime, you can check out season 7 of The Kardashians, which is available to stream now with a Hulu subscription.
