After six episodes, The Kardashians has finally delivered her first sister fight of season 5. While Kim Kardashian resolved her past issues with Kourtney Kardashian before season five, she now has unfinished business with her younger sister Khloé Kardashian.
So why are Kim and Khloé fighting? In short, Kim thinks Khloé needs to get out more and break free from her rigid schedule. But Khloé is perfectly happy being a loving mother of two who chooses to stay home with her children and read them bedtime stories instead of jet-setting around the world.
Kim has been scolding Khloé for her solitary habits all season, but it’s not until the most recent episode (appropriately titled, “Stick Up Your Ass”) that she decides to confront her sister with her concerns.
The Skims founder explains that she recently had an “extremely difficult week” and asked her mother to take her two youngest children, Chicago and Psalm, to school. They were on their way to her grandmother’s house when Chicago put gel in her hair, but since she was so busy, Kim opted to let it go.
When Khloé contacted Chicago, she allegedly embarrassed Kim by asking if she could do her hair. For Kim, this implied that Khloé wanted to let her know loud and clear that the girl’s hair was “unwashed and disgusting.” But for Khloé, it was just a kind gesture.
“What are we talking about here?” Khloé asks in his confessional. “I actually thought we were good. I did Chi’s hair and then took the kids to school and that was it. He had no idea she was holding on to this.”
According to Kim, Khloé’s alleged bad birth is due to her inability to live her life.
“Interact with other human beings besides your children and family all day long. We’re awesome. I know. But you need another type of human interaction,” she says, adding that Khloé needs to “get away” from her children.
But Khloe declares that there’s nothing wrong with being a dedicated mom, telling the cameras that she doesn’t do anything out of the ordinary. Her kids wake up, eat breakfast, get their hair done, go to school, go to an extracurricular activity, and eat dinner — which, honestly, sounds like a normal parenting schedule. And kudos to her for not relying solely on a nanny to get the job done!
“Talk about mother shaming. What the fuck are you doing to me? she says she about her sister. “It’s just backwards mom-shaming. You’re shaming me for being a helicopter mom or whatever you want to call me. And you’re claiming that I’m shaming you for not being a stricter parent.
And he adds: “Why are we constantly criticizing what I do in my personal home if I don’t ask you to live the same life? Can’t we all be, I don’t know, the moms we want to be?
Their disagreement eventually spills over into their family trip to Aspen when Kim accuses Khloé of not being present at a recent dinner. While Kim criticizes Khloé for FaceTiming her daughter and mentioning her “schedule” when dinner was running late, Khloé claims Kim was just as vocal about getting things moving.
“Kim is just trying to be a bitch right now. And that’s something Kim is very good at,” Khloé says. “If she wants to hurt you, she will go for the jugular.”
