Kourtney Kardashian breaks her silence on Jennifer Lawrence’s criticism and reveals the unexpected message she received from the actress following her controversial comments.
Kourtney Kardashian and Jennifer Lawrence have been at the centre of one of the most unexpected exchanges in the Kardashian universe. It all began when the Oscar-winning actress publicly described the businesswoman as “more annoying than ever”, a remark that attracted particular attention given Lawrence’s well-known fascination with the family. Now, Kourtney has decided to respond, turning to irony and even referencing her infamous fights with Kim Kardashian.
The controversy dates back to last November, when Jennifer Lawrence, 36, took part in a lie detector test and ended up discussing one of her favourite subjects: The Kardashians. The Hunger Games star admitted that certain aspects of Kourtney’s behaviour, now 47, were becoming particularly irritating. “Everything has to be an announcement,” she said, referring to her behaviour during the reality show’s seventh season.
Lawrence even gave several examples to explain her frustration: “‘I’m not gonna wear outfits anymore.’ Just wear whatever you want. Don’t make an announcement about it. Or, ‘I don’t have a TV in my room.’ Just don’t watch TV. Stop announcing it.”
Jennifer Lawrence ended up contacting Kourtney Kardashian directly
The comments came as a surprise because Jennifer has never hidden her admiration for the Kardashian-Jenner family. She has maintained a close relationship with several family members for years, particularly Kris Jenner, who even attended her wedding to Cooke Maroney in 2019. However, what could have developed into another celebrity feud took a very different turn when the actress decided to contact Kourtney directly.
The businesswoman revealed what happened during the eighth season of The Kardashians, which premiered on Hulu on 8 October. During a conversation with her friend Simon Huck, she explained that Lawrence had sent her an email after her comments began circulating.
“She’s like, ‘I just feel like I’m one of your sisters,’” Kourtney explained, suggesting that the actress had wanted to put her criticism into the context of the close relationship she shares with the family.
After watching the video again, Kardashian also admitted that her own perspective had changed. “When I rewatched it, I was like, ‘Oh, it’s not that bad actually,’” she acknowledged.
Kourtney jokes about recreating her infamous fight with Kim Kardashian
Far from appearing upset, Kourtney ended up putting her own humorous spin on the situation. The businesswoman recalled her infamous physical fight with Kim Kardashian in 2020 and joked about giving Jennifer the same treatment if she really wanted to feel like another sister.
“I said to my mom, ‘OK, she thinks she’s one of my sisters, I’ll f–king slap the s* out of her,’”** she said with a laugh. Shortly afterwards, she took the joke even further: “I was like, ‘Invite her over, and we can—I’ll go for it like she’s my sister.’”
Beyond the jokes, Kourtney admitted that the message had arrived during a particularly difficult week. The reality show was airing at the time, prompting widespread criticism of her behaviour, and she felt that much of the public conversation was turning against her.
“It was also a sensitive week when she sent it. I felt like our show was airing and everybody was ganging up on me,” she explained.
Nevertheless, Kardashian described Lawrence’s email as “so nice” and made it clear that there was no serious conflict between them. In fact, although she had yet to reply, she already knew exactly what tone she would take when she did: “I’ll just say, ‘Next time you wanna come over, we can go at it, Kourtney and Kim style,’” she joked.
