Though Larsa Pippen has been a longtime friend of the entire Kardashian family (especially Kim and Kourtney), she's nowhere to be found when it comes to the Kardashian orbit.
And now, after Pippen's bombshell interview about the Kardashian-Jenners on the Hollywood Raw podcast, reality TV's first family reportedly wants absolutely nothing to do with Pippen and "feels betrayed" about the whole situation.
What happened between Larsa Pippen and the Kardashians — and why did they unfollow each other on Instagram?
Read on for all the drama between Pippen and the Kardashian-Jenners.
Kanye West mentioned Larsa Pippen in his recent Twitter rants.
Let's take it back to the beginning.
Though fans haven't seen Pippen around the Kardashians for quite somet ime , she became the topic of conversation again when West mentioned her in his since-deleted Twitter storm in July of 2020.
He simply tweeted her name with a thinking emoji, but it was enough to make people curious.
Fans noticed that the Kardashians and Larsa Pippen had unfollowed each other on social media.
It's hard to say exactly what went down, but this wasn't a good sign.
It seems all of the Kardashians have unfollowed Pippen from Instagram, which is a surefire sign that the friendship is over.
This is bigger than just drifting apart — it insinuates that something happened that made the family no longer want to associate with her.
Larsa Pippen released a statement on the unfollow rumors.
After speculation about Pippen and her former friends, she took to her Instagram Story on Wednesday to share her thoughts.
“I woke up this morning blessed and see that everybody is focused on who I am following and who I am not following on social media,” Pippen wrote.
“I am focused on my children, my new fitness brand, Larsapippenfitness, and my relationships in real life. Praying that everybody finds peace in their own lives and [they] focus on what brings THEM happiness.”
There's a report that Larsa Pippen and Kim Kardashian were involved in affairs around the same time.
Though these reports have never been confirmed, there is some speculation that Pippen was having an affair with Future around the same time Kim was reportedly having an affair with Drake.
This could be why West was tweeting about her, Drake, and Kim all at the same time but no one has ever confirmed or denied these rumors.
Larsa Pippen has talked to the media about the Kardashian family in the past.
It's also possible that the Kardashians have distanced themselves from Pippen because of the way she's commented on personal issues involving the family in the past.
In February 2019, she spoke about Tristan Thompson cheating on Khloé Kardashian with Jordyn Woods.
There's a chance these comments weren't sanctioned by the Kardashians first, and it would make sense if she was exiled because of instances like this.
Did Larsa Pippen date Tristan Thompson?
After West's rant, Woods liked a tweet that claimed Pippen had slept with Thompson, the father of Khloé's baby and on-again, off-again boyfriend.
No word on whether or not that rumor Is actually true, either, but It would also make a lot of sense.
On a Nov. 9 episode of the Hollywood Raw podcast, Larsa Pippen dropped a bombshell about the Kardashians.
The 46-year-old socialite did not hold back on the most recent episode of the Hollywood Raw podcast.
"[The Kardashians] all started to ride his [Kanye's] wave,” she started. “If you’re that easily swayed, like the wind, then do I really give a f***? I don’t know. Was I hurt by it? Yes. But at the same time, I’m like….I’ve done nothing."
"I’ve never done one thing. I’ve been the most honest and truthful best friend to all of them,” she added.
In fact, Pippen claimed that the Kardashians have likely been brainwashed by Kanye.
“[Kanye] has literally brainwashed the whole family into thinking….I don’t even know what,” she continued.
“He talks so much about me being this and that and this and that. I ran into Travis Scott one night at a club and Travis called Kylie and said I was hitting on him. That never happened," she revealed.
"I left with the same people I came with. That never freaking happened. I would never do that, I would never in a billion years do that.”
The entire Kardashian-Jenner family reportedly feels betrayed by Larsa's statements.
“So they feel betrayed that Larsa would not only do this interview and talk about their family behind their backs, but also say things that are hurtful and unnecessary,” a source close to the family claims.
