Tensions are reportedly escalating within the Kardashian family as Kim Kardashian, the eldest daughter, targets her youngest sister, Kylie Jenner. Sources suggest that the simmering animosity and feelings of betrayal between the two sisters are on the verge of boiling over.
On August 10, Kim, who is 43 years old, posted a collage on Instagram to celebrate Kylie’s birthday. However, what seemed like a friendly gesture included a seemingly sarcastic comment where Kim referred to Kylie as a “private little soul,” hinting at her true feelings.
According to insiders, Kim is upset with Kylie for keeping her relationship with 28-year-old actor Timothée Chalamet under wraps. Kim, who has publicly exposed much of her life, including the infamous sex tape that helped launch the Kardashian brand, feels it’s unfair that Kylie is allowed to maintain her privacy.
A source revealed to *In Touch* that despite attempts to keep peace, “things keep coming up” that fuel the discord. Kim is reportedly envious of Kylie’s ability to stay in their mother Kris Jenner’s good graces while keeping her personal life hidden. Kim believes it’s unjust that Kylie seems to operate by a different set of rules within the family.
Adding to the tension, Kylie recently made history as the first Kardashian-Jenner family member to appear on the cover of the prestigious September issue of British *Vogue*. This unexpected achievement reportedly intensified Kim’s frustration. “Her jealousy is immense,” the insider claimed, indicating that Kim felt overshadowed by her younger sister’s success.
Furthermore, Kim is said to feel unappreciated for the hard work and sacrifices she has made to pave the way for her family’s success. The source mentioned that Kim feels Kylie often takes her achievements for granted, not fully acknowledging the doors Kim has opened for her. “Kylie never truly gives her the credit she deserves for opening every door for her,” the insider quoted Kim as saying.
The family drama isn’t new, as Kylie previously stirred the pot when she jokingly told her 27-year-old sister Kendall Jenner, “I’m basically 30,” a comment that went viral. The insider noted that Kylie’s remark was a subtle jab at her older sisters. “Kylie is deeply concerned about her chronological age and constantly belittles her older sisters,” the source said, adding that Kylie isn’t shy about reminding Kim to “act her age.” This behavior has been perceived as disrespectful by her older siblings.
As the Kardashian family continues to navigate these internal conflicts, it remains to be seen how they will reconcile their differences or if the tension will lead to a more significant fallout.
