Kourtney Kardashian Barker and Kim Kardashian's feud has been a long time coming, and it seems to date back to their teenage years, but don't get Kourtney's husband Travis Barker involved in this drama. The Blink-182 drummer has blamed rumors that the sisters' recent fight has something to do with him, several news outlets have reported.

"I think just giving them a little information, they've solved the mystery of, 'This is why we're fighting,'" Barker told the Los Angeles Times yesterday. 'It's so ridiculous. It's like, 'Courtney's fans are worried about Travis. He's a womanizer. Stop it.'"

Let's break it down: in his 2016 memoir Can I Say (years before he and Courtney became a couple, let alone married), Barker called Kim "fucking hot" and "secretly checked [her] out" when she briefly dated Paris Hilton in 2006 He admitted that he was "secretly checking [her] out" when he briefly dated Paris Hilton in 2006. (Paris and Kim were close at the time.) 'We went to dinner, we went to lunch. 'You might think because of her tape [referring to Kim and Ray-J's sex tape] that I would do the worst with this girl, but it was the opposite of other encounters I've had with women. It was very strange."

The flames were further fanned when Barker's ex-wife, Shanna Moakler, accused Kim of having an affair with Barker and ruining their marriage, according to Us Weekly. Barker (and Kim) deny that there was any physical relationship between them, but Moakler told the magazine in 2021 that she believes otherwise. (Barker and Moakler first separated in 2006 after two years of marriage, but continued an on-and-off relationship for the next two years, ultimately ending in divorce in 2008.) "I divorced my ex-girlfriend because I saw them cheating," Moakler said, referring to Kim He clarified that.

Barker and Moakler's daughter Alabama also shared text messages in which Moakler allegedly mentioned the affair, Us Weekly reported! Now he is making love to her sister. It's all sick ...... I'm not the bad guy!" And.

All of this has led some to say that Barker's past crush on Kim is the genesis of the sisters' recent feud. (Do these people watch the sisters' reality show, "The Kardashians?")

"I obviously shared all of that because I wanted to get over it," Barker said. 'It was therapeutic for me.' And it's no secret to Courtney that Barker was once interested in Kim: "It's her sister," he said. She knows we used to talk a lot. There was nothing wrong with that."

Kim herself brushed off rumors about her past relationship with Barker dating back to 2021." NO! False story!" she wrote on her Instagram Story, responding to a fan who asked if she and Barker had ever dated, according to Page Six. She added: "We've been friends for years and I'm so happy for him and his coat."

As for their beef, Courtney said at the Season 4 premiere of "The Kardashians," "I think we both said things that we're not proud of, but anyone who has sisters or brothers knows that dynamic. You can have crazy fights, but if you send each other funny texts, everything falls into place."

"We've had some crazy fights, but we've also had some crazy fights," she said.

The Barkers are currently expecting their first child together, a boy, almost daily.
