Kourtney vs. Kim Kardashian: Breaking Down All of the Dolce & Gabbana Drama and What Each Sister Thinks

The Dolce & Gabbana drama is showing no signs of stopping anytime soon on The Kardashians. After Kourtney Kardashian expressed her hurt feelings over her sister Kim Kardashian's collaboration with designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana -- which took place at Milan Fashion Week and four months after Kourtney's May 2022 wedding to Travis Barker -- the discussion continued during Thursday's episode.

Kourtney and Travis tied the knot in Portofino, Italy, in a stunning wedding hosted by the Italian designers, featuring a series of bold looks from the designers' archives. Kourtney accused Kim of using her wedding as a "business opportunity," and the drama builds as Kim's Dolce collection has its own runway show.

With sister Khloe Kardashian and momager Kris Jenner in Milan supporting Kim, Kourtney is left back in California upset and hurt and even pointedly declaring that Travis and their kids are her family when asked by a producer if none of her family attended Travis' restaurant opening.

Clearly, Kim isn't taking any prisoners either, throwing a barb that Kourtney has no friends and therefore wondering who among her sister's supposed friends thinks Kim's collection is "so weird."

Here's a breakdown of the beef:

Kourtney's Side

Following her 2022 wedding to Travis, Kourtney found herself upset at Kim's collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana. Saying that Kim called her to let her know that originally the deal was a SKIMS collaboration between Kim's shapewear company and the Italian designers, she later let her know that SKIMS was no longer involved.

Kourtney claims she asked Kim if Kim was calling to ask her permission to which she replied, "I guess."

Kourtney also says during a discussion with her sister, Kendall Jenner, that she wasn't initially upset by the collaboration until momager Kris urged the sisters to promote Kim's collection on their social media accounts in the family group chat. When Kourtney said she was confused by what she was supposed to promote, her sister, Khloe, allegedly replied, "You know, Dolce, the people who did your wedding," a comment that Kourtney says "triggered" her.

She told Kendall that she felt Kim is "legit copying my wedding," claiming Kim was miserable at her wedding and that multiple people told her the mother of four was "spiraling" during the festivities. But instead of giving her credit or asking if she could try her own take on the "vibe," Kourtney claims that Kim used the wedding to have conversations with Dolce and Gabbana about the potential collaboration and put the financial opportunities above Kourtney's feelings.

Kourtney breaks down in tears discussing the "abundance" of opportunities the sisters are given, saying that Kim just "sees it as the dollar signs."

Kourtney has also said she's not only upset with Kim, but also with Kris and how the entire deal was handled.

While speaking with her stylist, Kourtney claims that Dolce wanted her and her sisters to wear lemon-printed looks for her wedding and she insisted on vintage '90s styles, saying that Kim completely copied that theme for her show. She added that she didn't intend to address it with Dolce & Gabbana as it was "business" for them, but noted that she expected more care from Kim and Kris as they are family.

Kim's Side

Kim has noted that she did not discuss a potential deal with Dolce and Gabbana during Kourtney's wedding, but rather the designers were impressed by Kim's vintage Dolce looks during the multi-day event.

She shared that she had a lengthy email chain "begging" the designers to push the collection so that it didn't come too close to Kourtney's special day.

Kim also shared that she called Kourtney twice to talk about the collection, explaining that while initially the deal between SKIMS and Dolce fell through, she was still moving forward with a collection.

"I couldn't have been more mindful," Kim claims of the collaboration. "I said, 'Don't do the Madonna collection, don't do the lace collection, don't do anything Kourtney wore to her wedding out of respect for Kourtney.'"

Kim adds that she invited Kourtney and Travis to Milan and made every attempt to let her know about the collaboration, but added that she doesn't think she needed Kourtney's permission to take the deal.

Kim also notes that Kourtney copied one of her 2018 looks during her wedding festivities and, in a promo for next week, brings up the fact that Kourtney even copied her "wedding country" after she married ex-husband Kanye West in Italy in 2014.

KoKo is definitely Team Kim on this one. Though she encourages momager Kris to respond to Kourtney's awkward family group text, she later tells Kim that Kourtney's texts are "crazy" and "not rational."

Khloe does seem to take a more sympathetic approach after she says Kourtney called her "crying." She encourages Kim to calm down before having a confrontation with Kourtney about the drama.

Kendall was doing the most during this week's episode, making every attempt to steer clear of the drama. But when Kourtney asked her over to chat it through, Kendall was put in a tough spot as her eldest sister burst into tears about her stolen "wedding vibes."

Kendall told Kourtney that she sees "both sides," and could understand how Kourtney felt her combat boots had been stepped on.

"I hate that it affects you this badly," Kendall tells Kourtney, before adding, "With that being said, I think as sisters we have to understand when someone has a job or when someone's getting paid a lot of money to do something, we have to see where this could work for both of us."

Similar to Kendall, Kylie is keeping it like Switzerland and staying neutral. In a chat with Kendall after Kourtney's breakdown, Kylie listened to Kendall's take on the situation.

"I see both sides and I do think Kim should have done it, but I get it," Kylie said. "I don't think anyone's in the wrong. I just didn't even think of it like that but it makes sense, the whole wedding and how that's obviously a very special thing for her."

While clearly annoyed that Kourtney is not supportive of the Dolce deal, Kris seems determined to stay out of her daughters' drama.

"No one's right and no one's wrong," Kris says, noting she's confident the feud will "work itself out."

New episodes of The Kardashians air Thursday on Hulu.
