Kim Reveals Kris Jenner Feared Kourtney Slap Scene Would Never Air

Kim Kardashian recently shared insights into the infamous physical altercation between her and sister Kourtney, which unfolded during season 18 of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. On her sister Khloé's podcast, Kim recalled that their mother, Kris Jenner, was deeply concerned about the intensity of the fight. Jenner expressed that the scene showing Kourtney slapping Kim across the face should "never see the light of day," fearing it was too dramatic for broadcast.

Despite Kris Jenner's reservations, Kim believed the raw and intense moment contributed to the show's appeal. The fight, which began as a discussion about Kourtney's boundaries on filming, escalated quickly when Kim confronted her sister about her work ethic. The physical exchange led to a week-long pause in production for the show, which concluded its run in 2021. The Kardashians, a new series, began in 2022.
