Jennifer Lawrence learned the hard way that you don’t call a Kardashian “annoying” and walk away clean. The Kourtney Kardashian–Jennifer Lawrence clash over Lawrence’s “annoying” comment played out during the Season 8 premiere of The Kardashians, which began streaming on Hulu on October 8 — and Kourtney’s reaction was pure eldest-sister energy.
The Jennifer Lawrence “annoying” diss that started it all
Back in November 2025, Lawrence sat for Vanity Fair’s lie detector test alongside her Die My Love co-star Robert Pattinson. When Pattinson asked if she still kept up with the Kardashians, Lawrence admitted she’d stopped watching — and named her reason, per TMZ and Entertainment Weekly.
“Kourtney is more annoying than ever,” Lawrence said. “She drives me nuts.”
Her gripe? “Everything has to be an announcement,” she explained, per EW. “It’s like, you know, ‘I’m not gonna wear outfits anymore,’ like just wear whatever you want, don’t make an announcement about it. Or like, ‘I don’t have a TV in my room,’ like just don’t watch TV. Stop announcing it. Just shh.”
Lawrence also confessed Khloé Kardashian was her favorite sister. That, apparently, did not help.
Kourtney’s reaction: “F—k that bitch Jennifer Lawrence”
Kourtney’s response aired during a sit-down with her friend Simon Huck in the Season 8 premiere. It was not measured. According to Page Six, she recounted a moment when her mom, Kris Jenner, praised Lawrence and Emma Stone as “the best” — and Kourtney snapped: “F—k that bitch Jennifer Lawrence.”
The clapback went further. “I said to my mom, ‘OK, [Lawrence] thinks she’s one of my sisters? I’ll slap the s*** out of her,’” Kourtney said, per Page Six and TMZ. “I was like, ‘Invite her over and we can … I’ll go for it like she’s my sister.’”
Kourtney told Simon she couldn’t understand where the complaint even came from, since, as she put it, she’s “literally at home breastfeeding and doing nothing else.”
The apology email (and the overfamiliarity that annoyed her more)
Here’s the twist: Lawrence knew she’d gone too far. Per Page Six and EW, the actress asked Kim Kardashian for Kourtney’s email address and sent an apology, writing: “I just feel like I’m one of your sisters.”
That overfamiliarity is apparently what really got under Kourtney’s skin. Telling Kris about the message, Kourtney said: “OK, she thinks she’s one of my sisters? I’ll slap the s*** out of her.” Per the Express Tribune, Kourtney even joked about her famous 2020 physical fight with Kim: “Next time you wanna come over, we can go at it — Kourtney and Kim style.”
She also quipped about the apology email itself, per the Tribune: “Do I say something funny? Like, ‘You can come over and I’ll beat your f—ing a**?’” (Kourtney’s quotes have been censored here; she did not censor herself.)
Kourtney Kardashian and Jennifer Lawrence: how it ended
Credit where it’s due — Kourtney didn’t leave it at fighting words. After rewatching the Vanity Fair clip, she admitted Lawrence didn’t actually deserve the wrath.
“When I rewatched it, I was like, ‘Oh, it’s not that bad, actually,’” she told Simon, per Page Six. She explained she’d taken it too personally because she’d been having “a really sensitive week” and felt like “our show was airing and everybody was ganging up on me.”
According to TMZ, the two were eventually able to talk it out — sisterhood restored.
The fuller Lawrence lore
This isn’t Lawrence’s first public statement about the family. Per EW, Lawrence previously called Khloé her favorite Kardashian during the same Vanity Fair test, and the Express Tribune notes she addressed her habit of giving “insane” press quotes on Amy Poehler’s Good Hang podcast back in January. The woman knows her mouth is faster than her PR team — which is precisely why fans love her.
