Kim Kardashian posts then deletes caption shading sister Kourtney in new Las Vegas wedding pics
KIM Kardashian has been busted by fans taking a dig at her sister Kourtney in a since-edited Instagram caption.
An ugly rift between the famous siblings was revealed in a trailer for season three of The Kardashians on Hulu.
Kim, 42, was recently called in to officiate her close friend and hairstylist Chris Appleton’s wedding to partner Lukas Gage.
She shared photos online from the occasion, posing outside of the famed Little White Chapel in Las Vegas in a curve-hugging gown.
Kim’s carousel of snaps also included pics of her officiating the nuptials and celebrating with the newlyweds after they said their I Dos.
The star also included a video of Chris and Lukas being serenaded by Shania Twain.
Her current caption reads in part: “I was so honored to be able to officiate a wedding in Vegas!!! I couldn’t be happier for you both @ChrisAppleton1 and @LukasGage.”
Eagle-eyes fans caught the post pre-editing, however, and noticed some not-so-subtle shade directed at Kourtney.
The Poosh founder unofficially married Travis Barker in Las Vegas in April 2022.
On Reddit, a Kardashian fan shared a screengrab of Kim’s original caption, which read in part: “There’s no one I would have officiated a rock n roll Vegas wedding for other than @chrisappleton1 and @lukasgage.”
The person who posted it titled their thread: “Is the caption shade at Kourtney?”
One commenter called it an “interesting edit.”
Another wrote: “This is absolutely shady. She didn’t just say a Las Vegas wedding, she had to throw in rock n roll too.”
A third Reddit user questioned: “I wonder if Kourtney threw a fit so Kim changed it.”
One fan, however, suggested: “I don’t think she intended on it being shady tbh.”
Another replied: “Same, I think she was just trying to promote the other people she @’ed.”
SLINGING SHADE
Whether she meant it or not, this isn’t the first time the SKKN founder has taken a dig at her older sister.
Kim reposed a video featured on a fan-run Instagram account that showed her and Khloe Kardashian dancing and singing during an Usher concert in Las Vegas.
In the clip, the Skims mogul was seen wearing a tiny cropped top and a body-hugging skirt while her younger sibling wore a sparkly bodycon dress with several cutouts.
Both Hulu stars had their long hair hanging loose around their shoulders and smiled as they sang along to popular songs from the performer.
Kim and Khloe flew from California to Las Vegas on Kim’s $150million private jet for the concert, documenting the journey in Instagram Story pictures and videos.
Kim shared the fan-posted video on her Instagram Story, adding the caption: “Nothing like having a sister.”
The caption appeared to be a dig at Kourtney, who was not present.
The mom of four and Lemme founder have been at odds for some time, at least according to the latest Kardashians preview.
‘LIVID’
In the trailer, Kourtney revealed that she was upset with Kim for using her wedding to Travis Barker – which took place in Milan, Italy – as a business opportunity.
Kendall Jenner was shown asking Kim if she had spoken with Kourtney about the trip.
Kim inquired: “She’s mad at me?”
In a confessional interview, Khloe said that Kourtney was not just mad but “livid.”
“She felt like her wedding vibes were, like, stripped from her,” Kendall said during a conversation between her and sister Kylie.
“I’m really confused how this narrative came into her head,” Kim explained.
“I couldn’t have been more mindful,” Kim admitted to Khloe in another clip.
“I said, ‘Don’t do anything that Kourtney wore to her wedding,'” Kim explained.
“I see both sides,” Kendall admitted and Kylie agreed.
“People think it’s a misunderstanding. It’s not,” Kourtney said.
“It’s who she is to her core,” Kourtney admitted in a clip.
The new season of The Kardashians is set to premiere on May 25.
