The latest rumor involving the Kardashian-Jenner family has sparked significant controversy. It suggests that Travis Barker allegedly slapped Kim Kardashian due to her behavior and interference in his marriage to Kourtney Kardashian. Kim, known for her strong presence in the family’s business, is said to have tried to convince Kourtney to focus more on their reality TV show, The Kardashians, rather than prioritizing her family and kids. This is rumored to have caused tension between the sisters.

The situation is said to have escalated when Kim allegedly flirted with Travis, Kourtney’s husband, which is said to have deeply angered him. Reports claim that Travis reacted by slapping Kim and kicking her out of his house, which has fueled speculation about Kim’s jealousy of Kourtney’s happiness, especially given her own single status.

Furthermore, Kim is said to have been unsupportive during Kourtney’s pregnancy, a period that was already filled with personal challenges for Kourtney, including IVF treatments and surgery. Kim’s behavior reportedly included initiating arguments and making insensitive comments about Kourtney’s parenting, including one where Kim allegedly criticized Kourtney’s children, which only intensified the rift between them.

The tension between Kourtney and Kim has been building for some time, including an uncomfortable moment at Kourtney’s wedding to Travis in May 2022. Kim’s apparent inability to celebrate Kourtney’s special day and her efforts to draw attention to herself at the event are seen by many as rooted in jealousy. The situation worsened when Kim allegedly copied Kourtney’s wedding ideas for one of her own events, further straining their relationship.

In addition to the tensions with Kim, Kourtney has also had a strained relationship with their mother, Kris Jenner. Fans were shocked when Kris, instead of offering emotional support, arrived with a camera crew during a critical moment when Kourtney was undergoing surgery. Kourtney’s decision to confront Kris about her actions reflects her growing desire to assert her independence and distance herself from her mother’s influence.

Sources close to the family suggest that Kourtney has been increasingly keeping her life private from Kris, even withholding the news of her pregnancy until it was made public online. This shift towards independence is seen as part of a broader movement among the Kardashian siblings to break free from their mother’s tight grip on their lives and careers.
