Fans first saw the cracks in Kim Kardashian’s relationship with Larsa Pippen after she was accused of flirting with Kardashian’s ex, Kris Humphries, in 2019. When Perez Hilton ran an Instagram headline asking fans if Pippen was “the new Jordyn Woods,” the reality star defended herself in the comments. Ultimately, however, it wasn’t Humphries that was the problem.
To hear Pippen tell the story, she somehow got tangled up in Kardashian and West’s relationship. “I just feel like Kanye was in a place where he … didn’t trust anyone with Kim,” she explained on the “Hollywood Raw” podcast. “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.”

Fast forward to 2021, and Pippen got candid with “Hollywood Unlocked” about how her friendship with Kardashian had taken a turn for the worse. “We had an issue, or issues. We had a falling out,” she said. (OK, cryptic.) In a 2022 “RHOM” confessional, Pippen elaborated, “I was best friends with Kim, and I love her and I love Kanye, and I just was the person that was stuck in the middle. I took a beating because I was the friend that was basically there and saw everything. And that basically was the demise of our relationship. I knew too much, I was a problem.”
