However a source has exclusively told The Sun that the conflict was deliberated exaggerated to create drama for the show.
The insider revealed: “It really didn’t escalate to anything other than a shove and Kim didn’t land the punch. It’s really exaggerated for TV. Made for TV drama.
“They really don’t hate each other, and mom Kris [Jenner] would NEVER let there be actual violence.”
The source continued: “Sometimes they do fight because Kourtney is jealous Kim is more successful, and it’s true Kim didn’t believe Kourtney was pulling her weight on the show.”
