Larsa Pippen has broken her silence on her falling out with Kim Kardashian, blaming Kanye West for the end of their friendship.
In the Monday episode of the "Hollywood Raw" podcast, the "Real Housewives of Miami" spoke about Kardashian, whom she had been friends with for years, months after they unfollowed each other on Instagram. Pippen said she has no hard feelings toward Kardashian and still considers her a "sister."
"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," Scottie Pippen's wife said. "I want everyone to be happy!"
"I didn’t feel any type of way. I just felt, like, do what’s best for your family," she continued. "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."
Pippen cited West as the reason why she and Kardashian are no longer friends, accusing the rapper of "brainwashing" his wife.
"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," she claimed.
When asked what she would say to the Yeezy founder if she saw him, Pippen couldn't say with certainty, but she suggested that she is not closing the door on reconciling with her pal in the future.
Pippen also addressed the rumors linking her to Kylie Jenner's on-again, off-again flame Travis Scott and Khloe Kardashian's boyfriend Tristan Thompson. She clarified that there is nothing between her and the Cleveland Cavaliers player, adding that she is rooting for him and Khloe.
Pippen, meanwhile, slammed Scott for claiming that she hit on him. She said she only ran into the rapper at a club one night, but Scott called Jenner telling her that she flirted with him, which she insists never happened.
"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," Pippen explained.
Reports of Kardashian and Pippen's falling out surfaced in July when the entire Kardashian family unfollowed the latter on social media.
But while Pippen just said she and Kardashian used to be best friends, an unnamed source told Page Six in July that the KKW Beauty mogul never followed her in the first place. The source added that while they were friends, Kardashian and Pippen were never close.
Another report said that the two had simply drifted apart.
"Larsa and the Kardashian sisters aren’t friends anymore and have grown apart," an unnamed source told Entertainment Tonight. "The Kardashians felt Larsa wasn’t bringing the best energy to their friendships and slowly drifted. No one has negative feelings toward one another, but they didn’t see a reason to continue to stay close."
