Kourtney Kardashian reveals Jennifer Lawrence's apology email after 'more annoying than ever' dig

Jennifer Lawrence called Kourtney Kardashian 'more annoying than ever' on camera. Then she quietly emailed to say sorry — and Kourtney responded by joking she'd fight her like a sister.

During the October 8 Season 8 premiere of Hulu's The Kardashians, Kourtney revealed that Lawrence had reached out through Kim Kardashian to get her contact information, then sent an apology email after the remarks went public.

She's like, 'I just feel like I'm one of your sisters.'— Kourtney Kardashian, quoting Lawrence's email

The original comments came last November, when Lawrence sat down with Robert Pattinson for a Vanity Fair lie detector test interview while the two were promoting their psychological drama Die My Love. When Pattinson held up a photo of Khloé Kardashian and asked if she was Lawrence's favorite Kardashian, Lawrence said yes — and then someone else came up.

Kourtney is more annoying than ever. She drives me nuts.— Jennifer Lawrence

Lawrence's specific complaint was about what she saw as Kourtney's habit of turning personal choices into public declarations.

Everything has to be an announcement: 'I'm not gonna wear outfits anymore.' Just wear whatever you want. Don't make an announcement about it. Or, 'I don't have a TV in my room.' Just don't watch TV. Stop announcing it.— Jennifer Lawrence

Kourtney told her friend Simon Huck on the episode that the timing made the remarks land harder than they might have otherwise.

It was also a sensitive week when she sent it. I felt like our show was airing and everybody was ganging up on me.— Kourtney Kardashian

After reading the apology email and rewatching the Vanity Fair clip, her view shifted.

When I rewatched it, I was like, 'Oh, it's not that bad actually.'— Kourtney Kardashian

Still, Kourtney made clear that the 'one of your sisters' framing in Lawrence's email cuts both ways. If Lawrence wants to be treated like family, she said, she'll get the full experience.

I said to my mom, 'OK, she thinks she's one of my sisters, I'll f****** slap the s*** out of her.'— Kourtney Kardashian

I'll just say, 'Next time you wanna come over, we can go at it, Kourtney and Kim style.'— Kourtney Kardashian

The 'Kourtney and Kim style' reference is to a physical altercation between the two sisters that aired in 2020.

Lawrence has also addressed the original remarks publicly. On Amy Poehler's podcast Good Hang, she acknowledged the comments had taken on a life of their own.

I think that when I do press, I should do half than what normal people do because I see my quotes and they are insane. Like, Jennifer Lawrence calls Kourtney Kardashian annoying, it is just too, you know, it carries.— Jennifer Lawrence

Kourtney said she was weighing a response in keeping with the sisterly spirit Lawrence had invoked.

Why it matters — The exchange shows how a throwaway press-circuit comment can escalate into a public storyline — and how a private apology can quietly defuse it, even if the jokes keep coming.
