Larsa Pippen insists ‘the Cold War is over’ with the Kardashians, even as the former NBA first lady remains a social force, one who once counted Hollywood’s A-list among her confidantes. Among her closest allies? The Kardashian empire, until mid-2020. Kim and, shortly thereafter, Kourtney and Khloé quietly unfollowed Pippen on Instagram. The Real Housewives of Miami star has said that her 2018 split cost her long-time confidantes. Friends who vanished as the divorce dragged on. Much later, she claimed that she had resolved her issues with Kim Kardashian, but a fresh confession proves the feud is far from over.

In an earlier interview on Going Rogue, Pippen shared that she lost several friends during her divorce. She filed in 2018, and the divorce was finalized in 2021. While this timeline aligns with their distancing, Larsa revealed that the real reason for their growing apart was Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, as she was friends with both of them. Larsa went public with her version, yet the Kardashians have kept mum.

In 2022, Larsa told Access Hollywood that she and Kim had both apologized and were on good terms. “We’re cool, we’re friends. There’s no beef, there’s no bad situation,” she said. However, in 2025, during an interview with Jason Lee, her close friend revealed that he had to give up the Kardashian for Larsa. “I gave up all the Kardashians for you. I got to give up DJ Vlad too,” he said. “Throw him in the mix, too,” Larsa urged when she heard DJ Vlad’s name. 

This revelation followed Pippen’s request for Lee to cut ties with DJ Vlad, a frequent critic of hers. It appears that Larsa and Kim’s friendship may be definitively over, which might explain why she asked Lee to avoid the Kardashians altogether. This development is surprising, given Larsa and Kim’s long-standing friendship in the past.

The RHOM star was often seen spending time with the Kardashian family. The two even took pole dancing classes as well as beautiful tropical vacations, and so much more. Larsa even appeared on the reality TV Show. She revealed on Hollywood Raw that Kim dialed her to pitch a Kris Humphries matchup. Only to be shut down by Scottie. The two eventually dated, but the romance was brief.

Larsa Pippen also claimed that she had tried to set Kim up with Kanye West after the rapper expressed interest in her. Later, she revealed that it was West who wasn’t fond of the two BFFs’ relationship. “I just feel like Kanye was in a place where he, you know, he really didn’t trust anyone with Kim. So I feel like I was the person that was like, ‘Oh, like, don’t be so close to her because you’re so close to her’… that, you know, that kind of had something to do with it.” Pippen said on a Hollywood Raw podcast.

Beyond the Kardashian fallout, Pippen has battled persistent gossip about leveraging her famous circle.

Larsa Pippen fired back at RHOM Star for one reason

In all the seasons of The Real Housewives of Miami, Larsa Pippen has opened up about her struggles and success in balancing her personal life and her business. She has done it all on her own. However, in an interview with PEOPLE, the mother of four admitted that she gets teased by her co-stars. They claim she became famous thanks to her well-known friends.

In a mid-season trailer for the 2023 installment, Larsa was seen getting into an argument with her co-stars Lisa Hochstein and Adriana De Moura. As she demanded an apology from the ladies, Adriana seemingly accused her of gaining fame through her association with the Kardashians. “You were in L.A. for 10 years, kissing the Kardashians’ a–. So, shut up!” Adriana said.

The mother of four was quick to dismiss the claims and said, “You better sit the f— down”. While Pippen has acknowledged that she was very close to Kim Kardashian and her family, she stood firm in asserting that she achieved her success on her own.

“I don’t hide in anyone’s shadow. I’m my own person. I feel like I’m good being alone. I’m good,” she said. So, despite the feud reportedly ending in 2022, are there still unresolved issues between the former best friends?
