In the Kardashian world, family feuds are as iconic as their luxury closets. But in a twist that’s as relatable as it is headline-worthy, Kourtney and Kim Kardashian are trying something new to keep the peace: a “negativity jar.” As simple as it sounds, this glass jar becomes a symbol of the sisters’ struggle to break the cycle of insults, bad vibes, and generational drama.

Is it just another reality TV gimmick? Or could this be the secret to finally ending the endless Kardashian bickering? Here’s how it all went down inside the most famous family in America.

The Breaking Point: When Negativity Becomes Contagious

It starts, as so many Kardashian clashes do, with a fight. “90% of these fights escalate because we start throwing insults,” Kim admits, as the family’s energy spirals from tense to toxic. “Negative energy is so infectious and contagious, and if everyone is in this house with a negative, heavy, disgusting energy, it’s just going to infect all of us.”

Kourtney, always the one to call out the bad vibes, gets emotional. “She’s just that person that uses things against you. That’s the stuff that makes me question why you would treat your family like that.” The tears come—proof that even the most glamorous sisters can be deeply hurt by careless words.

The fight isn’t just between Kim and Kourtney. It’s a full-family affair, with staff, kids, and even Kris Jenner’s legacy of “tough love” in the mix. Kim’s nanny, feeling degraded after an argument, considers quitting. “She said she felt so degraded by you and you just started yelling at her,” Kourtney relays, defending her own side of the story. Kim insists, “I said it very quietly,” but the damage is done.

As the sisters trade accusations—about parenting, staff, and loyalty—the negativity snowballs. “You keep projecting all your sh*t onto me. I have none,” Kourtney snaps. Kim, never one to back down, retorts, “Look in the mirror.” The cycle is endless, and everyone feels it.

A Moment of Self-Reflection

After the dust settles, Kim does something rare: she apologizes. “I’m sorry for arguing with you and bringing up a whole bunch of other stuff that just didn’t have to do with the fight.” The sisters admit that their arguments often spill over into unrelated territory, with old wounds and insecurities fueling new fights.

“Are you just making up a bunch of stuff, or are you just spewing out sh*t to piss me off?” Kourtney asks, raw and vulnerable. Kim confesses, “I don’t know why we do that. In this family, it’s really hurtful. I mean, I definitely used to do it more. You were the queen of it. I learned it from you. And I feel like I learned it from Mom.”

It’s a rare, honest moment of self-awareness. The sisters realize that their tone turns “mean on everyone,” not just each other. “Why can’t the tone just be like, ‘How was your conversation with my nanny? I heard she felt like this, this is how she said she felt.’ Why can’t I just say, ‘Oh really? That’s so weird, I didn’t mean to say that.’”

The Negativity Jar: A Family Experiment

Enter the “negativity jar.” After reflecting on how often negativity creeps into their conversations, Kourtney proposes a visual solution. “I feel like we should have a negativity jar, and whenever someone is negative, put money in it.” The idea is simple: every time someone throws shade, gets snippy, or brings the mood down, they pay up.

Kim loves the plan. “It’s a great visual to make us aware—really aware—of how we all can be negative and talk at times.” The rules are clear: if you only have a $5 or $100 bill, that’s what goes in. Write your name on it, staple it, and drop it in the jar. At the end, whoever has the least entries gets all the money.

“It’s not about the dollar amount,” Kim explains, “it’s just being aware. Every time you do something or say something that’s negative, put something in this jar where you’re aware, ‘Okay, I’m being a bitch right now, and let’s stop.’”

Generational Drama: Can It Be Broken?

The sisters are quick to point out that negativity isn’t just a Kim-and-Kourtney problem. “It’s generational,” Kim says. “These things pass down, which is why I’m trying not to do it with our kids. I don’t want to be responsible for teaching you guys how to be negative. I don’t want to pass it on to my grandchildren.”

Kris Jenner, ever the matriarch, admits her own role in the cycle. “I notice that I’m negative when my children point it out, and I do feel bad about it. I don’t want to be Negative Nelly, you know? I want to be a positive person, so I’m going to work on that and hopefully get a little bit better with my attitude.”

The family laughs about the idea of a “positivity jar,” but the message is clear: they want to change, not just for themselves, but for their kids.

Will It Work? The Real Test

As the family gathers around the kitchen, the jar sits front and center. “Hopefully this will change the tune of this house,” Kim says. “It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.”

But old habits die hard. Even as they joke about wiring money for their negative comments, there’s a real sense that the family wants to do better. “I genuinely want to be more aware of it, too,” Kourtney says. “That kind of stuff—always tell me in the moment so I could know. I don’t want to act like that.”

The kids are watching, and the sisters know it. “I don’t want to pass it down to my kids,” Kim says. “We should want to change this behavior.”

The Takeaway: A Small Jar, a Big Challenge

In the end, the “negativity jar” is more than just a quirky family experiment. It’s a symbol of the Kardashians’ willingness to confront their flaws, admit their mistakes, and try—however imperfectly—to do better. In a world where every argument can become a headline, the family’s effort to break the cycle of negativity feels both relatable and revolutionary.

Will the jar solve years of drama overnight? Probably not. But for a family that’s built an empire on being themselves—flaws and all—it’s a step in the right direction.

As the episode closes, the jar glints on the countertop, waiting for the next dollar, the next lesson, and maybe, just maybe, the next breakthrough in the Kardashian quest for peace.
