In the world of celebrity gossip, few tales captivate audiences like the tumultuous relationship between Kim Kardashian and Larsa Pippen. This ongoing saga, reminiscent of the dramatic feuds of Hollywood’s golden age, has recently resurfaced, reignited by talk show host Andy Cohen during a live episode of his popular show, Watch What Happens Live.
The backdrop of this feud dates back nearly a decade, marked by fluctuating alliances and misunderstandings. Recently, as Cohen probed Kardashian’s close friend La La Anthony about her relationship with Pippen, it became clear that the tensions between the women persist. “I haven’t seen her in a while. Probably, like, I don’t know, a year maybe,” Anthony confessed, hinting at the distance that seems to define their interactions.
Cohen’s probing continued with the question on everyone’s minds: “Is she still in the Kim K. universe?” to which a playful yet evasive Anthony simply laughed and remarked, “You’re kind of messy.” This moment captured the essence of a friendship that has endured much scrutiny, yet still found room for levity amidst the chaos.
The roots of their feud trace back to 2020, when Kardashian and her sisters unfollowed Pippen on social media, a digital signal that often translates to real-life rifts. Pippen later revealed that her estrangement was influenced by Kanye West, whom she claimed had led Kardashian to distance herself from their friendship. “If Kanye feels like him and Kim are better without me, then let them be without me. I’m OK with that… I will survive,” she stated during a podcast appearance.
Despite the tumult, there have been hints of reconciliation. In January 2022, Pippen insisted that she and Kardashian had reached a mutual understanding. “We’ve all apologized to each other. We’re in a really good place,” she told Us Weekly, a sentiment seemingly at odds with the reports of ongoing tensions.
Nevertheless, the Kardashians have reportedly maintained that they distanced themselves from Pippen due to what they considered “toxic energy,” while others suggested that the friendship simply faded over time. Pippen herself has acknowledged potential miscommunications that could have exacerbated their fallout.
Interestingly, Pippen has found a new chapter in her life, dating Jeff Coby and seemingly embracing her independence from the Kardashian clan. Yet her comments about Kardashian and West continue to suggest lingering frustrations over the past. She once expressed, “Some people value men over friends,” a pointed statement that did not go unnoticed by the media.
As fans and followers of these two icons await the next chapter in their relationship, the question lingers: have they truly moved past their differences? Or will this saga continue to unfold with more dramatic twists? Their story serves as a reminder of the complexities of friendships in the spotlight, where public perceptions often overshadow genuine connections.
