In the season‑8 premiere of the reality series The Kardashians, Kourtney Kardashian confronted remarks made by Oscar‑winning actress Jennifer Lawrence during a 2025 Vanity Fair lie‑detector interview. Lawrence described Kardashian as “more annoying than ever” and said she “drives me nuts” after being asked which Kardashian family member she favored.

Background of the Exchange

Lawrence selected Khloé Kardashian as her favorite and then criticized Kourtney’s behavior on the show, stating, “Everything has to be an announcement. It’s like, ‘I’m not gonna wear outfits anymore.’ Just wear whatever you want. Don’t make an announcement about it. Or, like, ‘I don’t have a TV in my room.’ Just don’t watch TV. Stop announcing it. Just shh.” She added that Kourtney “drives me nuts” and is “more annoying than ever.”

Kardashian’s Reaction

Kardashian, 47, recounted the moment on the episode, noting that her mother, Kris Jenner, had posted about spending time with Lawrence and Emma Stone. “My mom wrote something like, ‘Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone, I talked to them last night, they’re the best,’” Kardashian said, before expressing frustration in strong language.

She explained, “I said to my mom, ‘Okay, she thinks she’s one of my sisters? I’ll slap her.’” Kardashian also joked about responding to Lawrence with a reference to her past physical altercation with sister Kim Kardashian, saying, “She asked Kim for my email, and then she sent me that email, which is so nice. I mean, do I say something funny? Like, ‘You can come over and I’ll beat your…’” She added, “I’ll just say, next time you want to come over, we can go at it — Kourtney and Kim style.”

Later Reflections

Despite her initial anger, Kardashian later softened her view, stating, “When I rewatched it, I was like, ‘Oh, it’s not that bad, actually.’” She acknowledged that the timing of Lawrence’s comments coincided with a sensitive week for her family, noting, “It was a really sensitive week when she sent it, and I felt like our show was airing and everybody was ganging up on me.”

Lawrence’s Perspective

Lawrence has a long‑standing public affection for the Kardashian‑Jenner family, having guest‑hosted “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in 2017 and referring to Kim Kardashian as her “utter obsession.” During a recent appearance on Amy Poehler’s “Good Hang” podcast, Lawrence addressed the criticism, saying, “I think that when I do press, I should do half of what normal people do, because I see my quotes and they’re insane. It’s just too… you know? It carries.”

The exchange highlights the occasional tension that can arise when high‑profile celebrities comment on reality‑TV personalities, but both parties appear to be moving toward a more amicable understanding.
