Contrary to what some fans may believe, Kim Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian don’t actually hate each other, as revealed in a recent episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians.

“They think that we, like, hate each other,” Kourtney told her friend Simon Huck on the show. “Also, I so badly wanted to be like, by the way, I never knew that call was filmed,” she added, referring to a phone call in the previous season in which she called her sister a “narcissist”, among other things.

They went on to discuss Kim’s group chat labelled “Not Kourtney” and how there seemed to be a feud between the two sisters, involving Dolce & Gabbana and the idea that they were “copying” each other’s projects, notes Marie Claire.

It’s not the first time Simon Huck has been confided in by the Kardashian siblings, who all appear to be very close to him. Here’s what we know about Simon Huck and his links to the Kardashians:
