Why Kourtney Kardashian Fled Home Over Caitlyn Jenner’s Grip
Heads up, caffeine clan—I’ve downed enough espresso to ride a rollercoaster, and Kourtney Kardashian just spilled the juiciest tea about bailing on her childhood home as a teen! In a recent sit-down revealed by People Magazine, Kourtney didn’t hold back when she labeled Caitlyn Jenner “controlling and bossy,” even confessing that her stepmom once wouldn’t let her dial up her own dad. Buckle up, because this family drama is dripping with every kind of tension.
According to People, Kourtney was barely out of middle school when the clashes hit full force. She recounted explosive yelling matches with Caitlyn—think 2 a.m. heartbreak meets stepmom versus stepdaughter face-offs. One scene from her story sounds straight out of reality TV: Kourtney begged to call her father, Robert Kardashian Sr., only to be met with a hard “no” from Caitlyn. As Entertainment Tonight points out, these moments went way beyond typical teenage rebellion—it was full-blown emotional lockdown. Cue teenage Kourt’s jaw dropping as the phone refused to connect her to her dad’s comforting voice.
Digging deeper, TMZ corroborates that tensions peaked over phone privileges, curfews, and a strict “mum’s the word” attitude. When Kourtney turned 17, she famously packed her bags and moved into a friend’s place—no messy goodbye, just a mad dash for freedom. People Magazine reports she later admitted on her podcast that living independently felt like an “instant breath of fresh air.” Imagine slipping out of a suit of armor that was trapping you—yep, that was her teen-aged breakaway moment.
E! News also weighed in with family insiders confirming that while Kris Jenner tried to mediate—and even staged a few family brunches—it wasn’t enough to cool down the feud. Those brunches turned into awkward showdowns where everyone sipped mimosas while side-eying each other across the table. Oof, talk about sit-com-style tension.
Despite all the fireworks, Kourtney insists this chapter pushed her to mature faster and carve out her own path—hello, Poosh empire! She credits that early escape for teaching her independence, setting boundaries, and honestly, how to survive any bossy household. In her own words (via People), “I had to fight for my voice,” and now she’s louder than ever—both in family group chats and on social media.
What’s next in this Kardashian rollercoaster? Will Caitlyn ever address these claims on camera? Can a family therapy session heal the rift? Stay tuned—because this saga is just heating up, and I’m here for every caffeinated second. Whew, I swear my heart’s racing like I just downed a triple shot—someone pass the iced latte!
