Larsa Pippen Breaks Silence on Falling Out With Kim Kardashian, Blames Kanye West and Travis Scott

Months after Kim Kardashian and Larsa Pippen unfollowed each other on Instagram, fans of the Kardashian-Jenner family are finally getting answers about their falling out. The 46-year-old Real Housewives of Miami alum, who has been friends with Kim, 40, Kourtney Kardashian and Khloé Kardashian, for years, broke her silence on “Hollywood Raw” podcast on Monday, November 9, citing Kanye West as the reason for their issues. “If Kanye feels like him and Kim are better without me, then let them be without me. I’m OK with that. … I will survive,” Pippen said of the couple, who wed in 2014. “I want everyone to be happy!” Eagled-eye fans noticed in July that Kim wasn’t keeping up with Pippen on the social media platform anymore. A source told Us Weekly at the time that the KKW Beauty CEO “wanted to reset” her account to “just to her family and childhood friends.” The source said, “For Kim’s own mental health, she wanted to narrow down what was showing up on her feed. There are a lot of people she is friends with who she doesn’t follow on social media.” According to Pippen, however, West, 43, encouraged Kim to hit unfollow. [jwplayer 6AsukTIS] “I didn’t feel any type of way. I just felt, like, do what’s best for your family. I love you, you and I are best friends, we’ve been through everything together, I would never do anything to jeopardize our relationship, we’re like sisters, we’re family, but if you have to unfollow me to make your home a better place, do it,” she said. “He talks so much about me being this and that and this and that. I just feel like Kanye was in a place where he really didn’t trust anyone with Kim.” Pippen went on to slam West several times, claiming he’s “brainwashed” his wife and her sisters. When asked what she would say to the rapper if she saw him, Pippen said, “I don’t know, ‘Where is the love?’ … The funny thing is I love him. I love all of them. ... Nothing has happened where it’s like, ‘I’ll never talk to them again.’ I feel like people going through different things and people handle problems differently.” Scroll through for more bombshell claims from Pippen about the famous family — including details of her past (and present) with Tristan Thompson: Hear the Us Weekly editors break down the most surprising celebrity births during the pandemic in under 2 minutes!

Scottie Pippen Didn’t Like the Kardashians

“When Scottie and I had our issues, he didn’t want me hanging out with them,” Larsa said about her estranged husband, implying the NBA pro thought they were bad role models for their kids. “Scottie was not happy about my relationship with them. Scottie didn’t want me taking my kids over to their house. We had issues like that too. And I was strong enough where I’m like, ‘I’m not going to let you dictate what I do.’”

Scottie and Larsa, who wed in 1997, split for good in 2018 after calling off their 2016 divorce. The exes share four kids. 

"With Scottie, a lot of people think he cheated on her and she cheated on him. That never was the case in our relationship," Larsa said. "Infidelity really wasn't what was the demise of our marriage. It was other things. We just kinda grew apart and fought over things, it was never about another person. It was always about the issues we had."

Larsa Denies Sleeping With Tristan

“I would never do that. That’s not even my personality,” Larsa said about rumors that she had an affair with Tristan, Khloé's on-again, off-again boyfriend,  in recent months.

She also said she’s rooting for the pair, who share 2-year-old daughter True.

"If they love each other, then God bless. I think when you have a family with someone, it's really hard to break up," Larsa said. "You do everything in order to keep your kids home together and happy. I applaud them for working things out. I think it's great they are trying to work on their relationship. I'm really proud of them. I applaud them."

Larsa Dated Tristan Before Khloe

The former Bravo star did, however, reveal that she was seeing the former Cleveland Cavaliers star before he met the Good American designer in 2016.

"I was kinda seeing Tristan before Khloé. Before Khloé or any of them knew he existed. I was seeing him, I had him come to L.A., I brought him to a party Kim had. I introduced him to all of them," Larsa claimed. "Then a week later, or 10 days later, he started seeing Khloé. Which is fine, I don't even care. It's whatever. … I never cared that Khloé was with him after me.”

Travis Claimed Larsa Hit on Him

Kylie Jenner’s on-again, off-again boyfriend Travis Scott, with whom she shares 2-year-old daughter Stormi, had a bad encounter with Larsa too. 

“I ran into Travis Scott one night at a club and Travis called Kylie and said that I was hitting on him. That never happened,” Larsa said. “So, then they were like, ‘Kanye says she’s this and then she was hitting on Travis.’ By the way, that never happened. I left with the same people I came with. That never freaking happened. I know he raps about being the highest in the f—king room. So clearly maybe he was the highest in the f—king room. He imagined all this s-t because it never happened.”

Larsa Blocked Kanye's Number

“Maybe because I blocked him on my phone because I couldn’t bear taking his calls anymore. I can’t, I’m drained. So, I blocked him on my phone. Obviously, that really upset him,” she said. “So, he turned that into, ‘Oh, she’s this and she’s that.’ They all started to ride his wave. If you’re that easily swayed, like the wind, then do I really give a f—k? Should I give a f—k? 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.”

Larsa on Tristan and Jordyn

Larsa made it clear Thompson should've taken more heat for kissing Kylie’s then-best friend Jordyn Woods in 2019.

“It really wasn't such a big story because it really wasn't about her, you know what I mean? It was about a guy that was kind of like wildin out, like, he was just reckless and it really wasn't about her because she wasn't the first and she wasn't going to be the last at that time," she said. "I feel like people were really hard on her and the whole situation when you gotta kind of know what you're dealing with when you're dealing with these types of guys."

Kim Wanted Scottie to Set Her Up With Kris Humphries

According to Larsa, she knew Kim’s marriage to Kris Humphries was doomed. The couple, who wed in 2011, infamously called it quits after 72 days of marriage.

“Kanye saw me at a game and said, 'Hey, I wanna be with her.' And I called her when she was engaged to Kris Humphries and was like, 'You can't marry Kris! You gotta be with Kanye!' Like I was there throughout the whole thing,” Larsa said before recalling that Kim wanted Scottie to help her meet Humphries. “She called me and Scottie and asked us to set her up with him and Scottie said, 'No way.' Scottie was like, 'Nope' … and she did it anyway.”
