SHE ’ S PUTTING TRAVIS FIRST !

LEAVING SHOW

AFTER BABY !

As Kourtney and Kim Kardashian ’ s feud plays out on Hulu ’ s The Kardashians , sources tell Star things are even nastier behind the scenes . “ Kourtney ’ s tired of the drama and fighting with Kim ,” a source says of the 44-year-old , who is expecting her first child with new husband Travis Barker . “ She ’ s made her position

clear : She wants to quit the show after the baby comes .”
Already a mom of three ( with ex Scott Disick ), Kourt has long been ambivalent about the family business . In the past , Kim , 42 , has called out the Poosh founder for not being “ passionate ” about her career , while Kourtney accused Kim of coopting her nuptials to land a deal with her wedding dress designer , Dolce & Gabbana . The spat culminated onscreen with Kourtney calling her sister an “ egotistical narcissist ” and telling her , “ You ’ re a witch and I hate you .”
It ’ s not the first time Kourt has pulled back from the show . She also stepped away when the family ’ s reality series Keeping Up With the Kardashians aired on E !. “ Her heart ’ s not in it anymore ,” the insider tells Star . “ She ’ s tired of the drama and fighting with Kim .” She ’ s also worried about the show ’ s impact on her marriage . As Star has previously reported , Kourtney would prefer to control the narrative in a spinoff about her family with the Blink-182 drummer where she decides what ends up on screen . “ She ’ s very protective of her relationship with Travis ,” says the insider . “ She resents the expectation that they should have details of their life splashed on TV without consulting her first .” ★
