In a recent episode of the reality series The Kardashians, Kourtney Kardashian revealed that actress Jennifer Lawrence reached out to her following a comment made during a lie detector test for Vanity Fair. Lawrence, known for her candid opinions, declared that Kourtney was “more annoying than ever,” prompting a reaction from the reality star in the show’s eighth season premiere.

During the segment, Kourtney discussed how Lawrence had gotten in touch through her sister, Kim Kardashian. In a reflective moment with her friend Simon Huck, Kourtney recounted the amusing yet pointed thoughts that crossed her mind after viewing the comments. “I mean, do I say something funny? Like, ‘You can come over and I’ll beat your f—ing ass?’” she queried, contemplating a humorous yet fierce retort.
This exchange comes after Lawrence’s remarks on the 2025 Vanity Fair video, where she expressed her exasperation with Kourtney’s behaviour. Lawrence has previously expressed her fondness for the Kardashian family and their show, making the comment surprising for Kourtney and her family. The actress’s decision to apologise through email indicates a desire to mend any misunderstanding that may have arisen from her words.
Kourtney elaborated on her initial reaction to Lawrence’s comments, sharing with Huck that she had initially felt a strong sense of indignation. “Well, my mum wrote something, like, ‘Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone, I talked to them last night, they’re the best,’ and I go, ‘F— that b**** Jennifer Lawrence,’” she recalled. The playful yet confrontational nature of these remarks highlights the light-hearted but competitive dynamics often seen among celebrities.
The conversation then shifted to the context in which Lawrence reached out to Kourtney. Lawrence expressed in her email her feeling of sisterhood towards Kourtney, stating, “I just feel like I’m one of your sisters.” Kourtney’s tone softened as she reflected on this message, revealing that her perception of Lawrence’s initial comments had changed upon rewatching the segment. “When I rewatched it, I was like, oh it’s not that bad, actually,” she admitted, although she noted that it had been a particularly sensitive week for her at the time.
Acknowledging the overarching tension during that period, Kourtney explained that it felt as though the entire world was turning against her with the airing of The Kardashians’ latest season. This sense of isolation exacerbated her response to Lawrence’s offhand comment. “I saw it late last night, so I have not responded,” Kourtney said, pondering humorous replies and jesting about inviting Lawrence over for an amusing showdown.
Simon Huck was enthusiastic about the prospect of Kourtney responding playfully. “That’s what you need to say, ‘cause she’ll know that fight,” Huck encouraged, referring to a famous altercation between Kourtney and her sister, Kim, that fans of the show would recognise.
In January, Lawrence took to an episode of Amy Poehler’s podcast to further clarify her earlier comments about Kourtney. She acknowledged the weight words can carry in the media. “I think that when I do press, I should do half [of] what normal people do,” Lawrence commented, reflecting on how her quotes could come across as sensational. She added, “Because I see my quotes and they’re insane. Like, ‘Jennifer Lawrence calls Kourtney Kardashian annoying.’ It’s just too… you know? It carries.”
As the season unfolds, viewers can expect to see how Kourtney navigates relationships both on and off-screen, particularly regarding her connection with Lawrence. The Kardashians continues to air new episodes on Thursdays via Hulu, offering fans insight into the often tumultuous yet entertaining world of celebrity interactions.
