Let’s be honest. That thin façade of civility between the ex and the newer, younger model can never really last.
And now it seems whatever shadow of a genial relationship there was between Kourtney Kardashian and Sofia Richie is finally gone — and it just so happens to coincide with both women no longer being on camera. Funny that.
Sofia has been dating Scott Disick since around Summer 2017, having met because the then teenager was close friends with Kourtney’s much younger half-sister Kylie Jenner.

Since things started getting serious between Lord Disick and Sofia, the now-21-year-old has been trying her best to be friendly with her man’s baby momma. The three have all been on family vacations together with the kids Scott and Kourt share.
Last September Sofia even reached out on social media, following the Poosh founder on Instagram. However, she did not get a follow back. And after five months we suppose she finally felt like she had given it the old college try and apparently decided to give up and UNFOLLOW.
But the timing may not be about Richie reaching her limit so much as not needing to make nice for the cameras anymore!
As all who are still dutifully Keeping Up With The Kardashians will know, Kourt announced in November she would be stepping back from the show “to spend more time as a mom” than as a reality TV star. While she hasn’t sworn off entirely as she’s still very much a part of the lives of her sisters, she will no longer be considered one of the show’s stars.
Likewise, in keeping with her habit of doing everything Kourtney does, only afterwards, Sofia revealed on Tuesday she too would not be appearing in the upcoming Season 18 of KUWTK.
Sofia told Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday she is going to stay away from the reality TV to act in scripted material. She told the outlet:
“I want to get into acting! Great things are happening and I’m really excited about it.”
The model says she has always wanted to get into acting but never really tried before, explaining:
“I feel like, for a while, I kind of held back on things because I was afraid of failure, but 2020 is [the year of] no fear! I’m gonna be doing acting stuff really soon. The roles I’m reading for right now are kind of similar to me, so they’re easy for me to play, and I really, really enjoy it.”
Sounds like a good fit!
As for why this is going to keep her from being on KUWTK she didn’t say — maybe her team thinks seeing her on reality TV would hurt her chances at getting all those roles that are similar to the real her?
In any case, it seems to mean an end to trying to be friendly with Kourtney.
