When you exist in a family of millionaires and billionaires, it can be hard to measure up. 

Kourtney Kardashian has pulled away from the reality show her family has created, and it's led to some pretty nasty brawls between her sisters and her. The fights occurred because Kourt's work ethic has been called into question.

Now fans are getting involved, so Kardashian took to Twitter to remind everyone just how hard she actually works. Not only does the mom-of-three take care of her children, but she also runs lifestyle brand Poosh. Keeping Up With the Kardashians is no longer her top priority.

Kardashian reminded her followers that she works hard too, even if she doesn't have massive businesses like her sisters.


"I won’t be live tweeting #KUWTK tonight, as I’m spending time with my kids while they are on spring break. I realize that a lot of the conversation right now surrounds my work ethic, and I feel like I need to just make one thing clear: raising children is a job as well," Kardashian tweeted. 

She continued, "In fact, it’s the hardest and most rewarding job that I have ever had. I’ve decided to put my focus on my kids and my lifestyle brand, Poosh, which is all about finding YOUR healthy balance for living your best life."

Tread lightly, KUWTK fans. Kardashian is over being a celebrity. 


The next few episodes in season 18 are all focused on Kardashian's desire to leave the show, and her unhappiness with being a celebrity. While it's what sparked her entire family's career, it no longer brings her joy. "I don’t judge anyone who chooses a different route, and I hope that everyone can appreciate my choices as well. With love, Kourt," she concluded her thread.

Meanwhile, she actually does have her own company.

Kardashian may not work as hard as her sisters on multibillion-dollar companies or on the decades-long reality series, but she does work hard in other ways. Kardashian runs the lifestyle brand Poosh and raises her three children Mason, 10, Penelope, 7, and Reign, 5, as a single mother. Of course, she does have the help of the kids' father, Scott Disick.

In case you haven't seen the fight or buildup, here it is in all of its cringe-y glory. 


Kourtney and Kim's fight was a buildup of so much past tension and anger. At first, Kim was calling into question all of her sisters' work ethics and ability to follow through on promises. Kylie Jenner skipped out on a fashion show because she was sick, and supermodel Kendall Jenner wasn't willing to fill in. 

Kim suggested that she and Khloé were the only two who actually cared about helping out when it matters most. At this, Kourtney went off and the fight escalated quickly. The two scratched, punched, and kicked each other enough to draw blood.

One fan told her that she doesn't have to explain herself, because being a stay-at-home mom is a  valid job. 


"You shouldn’t have to explain yourself for putting your kids first !! Your happiness and peace of mind is most important #KUWTK," one fan replied to Kardashian's Twitter thread. Kardashian has always claimed that she wants to put her kids first and that they are her top priority, while working isn't.

But let's not forget that working moms can focus on their kids too.

Some followers were disappointed by Kourt's message because it insinuated that working mothers don't focus on their kids. Keep in mind that Kim, Khloé, and Kylie have children, but manage to keep up with professional commitments. 

They wrote, "okay, but you can still put your focus into your kids and go to work. this kinda seems like you're suggesting that working moms focus isn't on their kids 100%. not everyone can be a stay at home mom Kourtney."

Other fans wanted Kourt to remember how she got to where she is.

Someone tweeted in a reply, "You're able to 'stay at home' and have everything u have because of #kuwtk be a little more appreciative I just feel like u could of handled it better and nicer than the contstant complaining and comments. Even poosh is a thing because of the platform you’ve been given on #kuwtk." 

Sure, Kardashian may have wanted this life over a decade ago when this began, but she couldn't have predicted how far it would go. Now she clearly wants to take a step back and focus on family.
