Kourtney Kardashian Responds to Jennifer Lawrence's Past Comments in "The Kardashians" Premiere

The latest season premiere of "The Kardashians" featured Kourtney Kardashian voicing strong criticism of actress Jennifer Lawrence, stemming from comments Lawrence made in late 2025. The episode, released on Thursday, October 7, showed Kardashian reacting to Lawrence's previous statement where she called Kourtney "more annoying than ever."

During a car conversation with her friend Simon Huck, Kourtney stated, "F*** that b**** Jennifer Lawrence." The flashback revealed Lawrence, during an interview with Robert Pattinson for Vanity Fair, being asked if Khloe Kardashian was her favorite. After a polygraph test indicated she was truthful in her positive response, Lawrence added that Kourtney "drives me nuts" and that "everything has to be an announcement." Lawrence specifically mimicked Kourtney, saying, 'I'm not going to wear outfits anymore,' and advising, 'Just wear what you want. Don't make an announcement.'

Kourtney recalled discussing the clip with her mother, Kris Jenner, expressing a desire to confront Lawrence. She stated she felt attacked, particularly as she was "literally at home, breastfeeding" when she saw the clip. However, Kourtney later acknowledged that Lawrence had reached out via email, having obtained her contact information from Kim Kardashian. Lawrence's email conveyed that she felt "just like one of your sisters." Upon rewatching the clip after receiving the email, Kourtney felt it was "not that bad."

She concluded that the remarks had impacted her more significantly due to a "really sensitive week" where she felt "everyone was ganging up on me," referencing the concurrent airing of "The Kardashians." Huck also noted the influence of how Kim and Khloe portrayed Kourtney on the show.

The episode also depicted a prank war between sisters Kim and Khloe Kardashian. The conflict escalated when Khloe placed condoms and lubricant in Kim's bag just before she filmed a "get ready with me" video. In a confessional, Khloe explained her motivation was to play on the family's frequent discussions about sex, particularly her own perceived lack thereof.

As Kim began showcasing the contents of her bag on camera, she discovered the items and reacted with laughter and embarrassment. She attempted to explain that the items were part of a prank, but Khloe and her stylist, Chris Appleton, teased her about it. Kim expressed concern about the items appearing on her hotel bill. Following this prank, Kim involved another family member in the prank cycle, though the specific target was not detailed in the notes.
