In seemingly manufactured drama, Kim and Kourtney Kardashian went at each other on Twitter while the season premiere of Keeping Up with the Kardashians aired last night. The episode featured the fight in which, among other things, Kourtney called Kim an "evil human being" and Kim called Kourtney "the least exciting to look at," as seen in clips released ahead of the episode:
Online, the two plus Khloé tweeted a continuation of their argument. Kourtney reasserts being a mom is her priority, Kim gets defensive, and Khloé remains in the middle. Twitter users weren't exactly buying it:

Unsurprisingly, the fight ended happily, with Kourtney calling Kim her "ride or die": "But I don’t accept the way we criticize and judge each other anymore. My personal growth doesn’t allow it."

Raw and unfiltered Kardashian content? Not exactly. But, judging from the thousands of comments, retweets, and likes, the Twitter fight was a smart way to market KUWTK.
