5. Sarah Feuded With Larsa Pippen On ‘KUWTK’
One of Sarah’s biggest screen time moments on KUWTK was when she went on a girls’ trip to Turks & Caicos with Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian. One of the other women on the trip was Larsa Pippen, who got into it with Sarah on more than one occasion on the trip. It started when Larsa made comments about Sarah’s dating life that Sarah was not cool with. Things escalated during a night out when Sarah wanted to help a woman who was crying in the bathroom, and Larsa shot down the idea.
Kourtney eventually pulled Larsa aside to ask her to tone it down with Sarah. By the end of the episode, which was filmed in 2019, things were cordial between the women. However, since then, Larsa has had a falling out with the Kardashian family and is no longer friends with them.
