Whether it was in Keeping Up With the Kardashians or Hulu’s The Kardashians, the Kardashian-Jenner family has made viewers laugh, gasp, and even cry year after year. From incredible accomplishments, dream-worthy birthday parties, and unbelievable scandals, the show never ceases to amaze fans.
And while some of these scandals might be hard to believe are real, like Tristan Thompson cheating on Khloé Kardashian not once, not twice but three (!!) times, loyal viewers know their lives are even crazier than we expect.

11 Biggest Kardashian Family Dramas
The Dolce & Gabbana Fight
In one of the most recent feud in Kardashian history, Kim and Kourtney went after each other in season 3 of The Kardashians. It all started when Kourtney did a Dolce & Gabbana wedding when she married her husband Travis Barker in May 2022. Then, last than a year after their ceremony, Kim began her partnership with the luxury brand, which included a photoshoot, a collection and a runway show Kim would help curate. When she learned the news, Kourtney felt slighted.
“I feel like there’s an abundance of opportunities,” Kourtney told her sister Kendall, per Pop Sugar. “It’s not about business, it’s just there’s so much and it takes precedence over hurting your sister. It’s legit copying my wedding.”
“She wasn’t happy at my wedding. Everyone else was like, ‘Whoa, this is amazing. We’re having the best time.’ She can never give acknowledgment of like, ‘Whoa, this is so amazing,'” Kourtney added. “She sees everything that I had there and takes it for her own, and she doesn’t even see it. She sees it for the dollar signs, but to me, I see it.”
When Kim gets word of how Kourtney is feeling, she immediately fights back, adding that her partnership with the brand went much further than 2022. Eventually, Kim even hinted that Kourtney was the one who copied her wedding in the first place.
“I got married in Italy. Am I saying you copied me by getting married in Italy?” the SKIMS founder said in a confessional. “Who performed at my wedding? Andrea Bocelli. Who performed at Kourtney’s wedding? Andrea Bocelli. You stole my f— wedding country and my wedding performer. Andrea Bocelli is my favorite male singer of all time, but I’m copying her dolce vita lifestyle? OK.”
Following a heart-to-heart, the sisters made up but the feud was ignited once again when season 3 aired out everything they said to each other.
The Car Dealership Debacle
In one of the most iconic moments in Keeping Up With the Kardashians history, Kim swung her purse on Khloé when she talked badly about her. “Don’t be f— rude!” Kim said as she flung her bag.
As a reminder, that argument started when Khloé, Kourtney, Kim, Rob and Scott were all at a car dealership together for Kim to get her new Bentley. Then, after a misunderstanding between Rob, Scott and the dealer broke out, Kim’s sisters were furious that she didn’t stand up for them and was too focused on buying her car instead. Then, later on in the night, Kim comes home only to find Khloé bad-mouthing her to her family. Of course, chaos ensues.
“It infuriates me,” Kim said in a confessional right after, per E! News. “Like I literally want to kill her. I’m so angry.”
Kim 72-Day Marriage
Back in 2011, Kim Kardashian walked down the aisle for the second time when she tied the knot with basketball player Kris Humphries. Before the two even left their honeymoon, however, Kim was already feeling like they weren’t meant to be.
“He’s a good heart, he’s a Christian, he’s everything on paper exactly what I want in someone but for some reason my heart isn’t connecting,” Kim told Kourtney and Scott in an episode of Kourtney & Kim Take New York. “I’ve tried and I’ve tried but I don’t know what to do.”
“You think I feel good that I met this guy from Minnesota and I feel awful that I made him move out here and change his whole life? I feel bad for him,” Kim continued. “He fell in love with me and I fell in love with him and now my feelings have changed.”
Kim and Humphries eventually split after 72 days of marriage.
The Photoshoot Drama
Kim and Kourtney fought yet again when they were trying to organize a Christmas card photoshoot in 2018. After Kourtney showed she wouldn’t budge on her meetings, Kim got mad.
“No one wants you in the f— shoot then get the f— out of here,” Kim told her sister. “I’m planning the shoot so we don’t want you in the shoot.”
Then, when Kourtney accused Kim of being inflexible too, she went for the jugular. “Maybe if you had a f— business you were passionate about, then you would know how to run a business, but you don’t, so don’t even act like you know what I am talking about.”
After she leaves, Kim continues venting to Kris and Khloé. “I need Kourtney to not be so annoying with a stick up her a– like she f— runs this s– because she doesn’t,” Kim said. “She’s the least exciting to look at.”
The Worth Ethic Debate
In another Kim versus Kourtney fight, things got heated between the sisters when Kim said Kourtney doesn’t “care about stuff.” “You act like I don’t do s—,” she told her sister. “I will literally f— you up if you mention it again.”
“I don’t want to hear this narrative anymore, about this work ethic and she’s the only one with work ethic and she’s doing this, this and this as if she’s better because she works more,” Kourtney said in a confessional.
Soon enough, their discussion turned physical with Kourtney towering over Kim. Luckily, Khloé was around to split them up.
Kendall & Kylie Get Physical
While Kylie and Kendall seem sometimes like two peas in a pod, the two have had some intense arguments over the years too. Three years ago, for example, when the whole Kardashian-Jenner clan was vacationing in Palm Springs, the two had their ugliest fight yet.
It all started when Kylie supposedly wore the dress Kourtney had earlier promised to Kendall. Then, on their drive to dinner with Corey Gamble, tension only escalated.
“I will never speak to Kylie ever again,” Kendall told Kim, Khloé, Kourtney and Kris when she was picked up by them in a car, per Buzzfeed News. “She smacked me, so I came back at her and smacked her in the face, and then she took her heel and put it to my neck. So I started kicking her back.”
“I’m sure Kendall is saying many things to my family,” Kylie said during a confessional. “We’re both very upset and I think that there was a lot of miscommunication because she thought I was gonna take her all the way through Beverly Hills to home and I just never agreed to that.”
Luckily, just like any sisters, they eventually made up.
Kris & Caitlyn’s Jenner Memoir Drama
While Caitlyn Jenner is no longer part of the show, big parts of her life, including her divorce from Kris and her adjusting to life after her transition were all caught on camera.
In one of the most dramatic moments, Kris broke down in tears when talking to her daughters Kim and Khloé about Caitlyn’s 2017 memoir, The Secrets Of My Life.
“None of it makes sense. Everything she says is all made up,” the momager said, per Grazia. “Why does everything have to be that Kris is such a b— and an a—?”
Kris was especially upset at Caitlyn insinuating that she knew about her trans identity throughout their marriage. “All through the book [it says] ‘Kris knew. Kris knew before I even made love to her.’ I’m like, ‘What!?'”
And while the two have buried the hatched since, it’s safe to say the memoir created a big wound in the family.
Kim’s Paris Robbery
In 2016, Kardashian went through quite a horrifying experience when she was robbed by five gunmen in a hotel in Paris. Explaining what happened to her sisters Khloé and Kourtney, it was clear that Kim was scared for her life throughout it all.
“I slid off my bed and picked up my phone and up my phone and I’m like ‘I don’t know how to call 9-1-1 in a different country,” Kim said as the two robbers entered her suite. “So the guy came in, threw me on the bed and I was like ‘This is it.'”
That night, the robbers left the hotel with $10 million worth of jewelry, per Vanity Fair. Luckily, Kim left the moment physically unscathed and the 12 people involved in the heist were arrested and charged.
Tristan Thompson’s First Cheating Scandal
In 2018, when Khloé was pregnant with her and then-boyfriend Tristan Thompson’s first baby, TMZ released footage of the basketball star cheating on her by kissing a random woman at a New York City club.
“There’s video of a girl making out with a girl last night,” Kim told the camera in a confessional. “Khloé’s gonna die.”
“I can’t even imagine being in Khloé’s shoes, just how reckless it all seems,” Kourtney added. “This is really shocking and obviously heartbreaking.”
Days later, Khloé gave birth to her daughter.
The Jordyn Woods-Tristan Thompson Scandal
Ten months after his first cheating scandal, Thompson was caught by a journalist allegedly kissing Kylie’s former best friend Jordyn Woods. Before the news hit the media, Khloé and her sisters tried to get some answers.
“I talked to Jordyn, she’s being really weird, she’s not giving me any information,” Khloé said in a call with Kim, Kourtney and Kylie. “She was like, ‘He was trying to kiss me, I can’t remember if we did or didn’t.'”
After confirming that something did happen between them, Khloé and Thompson broke up and Kylie cut ties with Woods. Soon after, Woods did an interview coming clean with Red Table Talk.
“My world got destroyed while Jordyn is doing press about it? How the f— do you think you are?” Khloé said in a call with her mom. “My family was ruined!”
Thompson’s Third Cheating Scandal & Other Kid
As if all those cheating scandals weren’t enough, Khloé found out Tristan had not only cheated on him again, but was expecting a baby with someone else at the end of season 1 of The Kardashians.
In season 2, Khloé revealed that she and Thompson were expecting a second baby via surrogate when she heard the news.
“I find out what Tristan is doing with the rest of the world. A courtesy would be not doing it. But fine, if you do it, you are not even going to give me a f— heads-up before the rest of the world?” she said in a confessional, per Us Weekly. “It is just an additional slap in my face. It is humiliating. I am embarrassed. I would prefer to be alone than to be around people.”
In August 2022, the pair welcomed their second son, Tatum.
