Kourtney Kardashian has mocked her sister Kim in an Instagram post, following their on-again-off-again feud in the latest season of The Kardashians.
Currently vacationing in the Turks and Caicos, southeast of the Bahamas, the reality star poked fun at her younger sibling in a beach snap on Sunday. Wearing a black string bikini, the 44-year-old can be seen swimming in the turquoise waters of the ocean while clutching her ears.
"My diamond earring came off in the ocean and it's gone," she wrote alongside the post.
The caption is a throwback to an infamous scene from the family's long-running E! reality show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians (2007 to 2021).
Kim Kardashian had a meltdown in Season 6 after her then-boyfriend, basketball player Kris Humphries, playfully threw her into the sea in the French Polynesian island Bora Bora, with the American Horror Story actress losing her $75,000 diamond earring.
"My earring's gone! F***," the panicked reality star wailed from the water in 2011.
"Oh my God I'm going to cry," she sobbed, breaking down in tears.
"Seriously, we're going to find it baby," a guilt-ridden Humphries told her, jumping from the deck to join her in the water.
"We're not going to find it in the ocean," Kim shot back, before storming off, still in hysterics.
Spotting her sister crying, an uninterested Kourtney responded: "There are people that are dying Kim."
Fans couldn't get enough of Kourtney's recreation of the lost earring incident, calling the post "iconic."
"The best caption I've seen in a long while," commented Laura T.
"Thank you for always reminding her of that moment Kourt. We love you the most," said Claire.
"It never gets old," wrote Nosi_Tatiya.
"Till this day you're still crowned as the funniest kardashian," said Danique Danielle Maria.
"We love you the most because you can take & dish out a joke," commented Staciee.
"The only thing that would make this better is if you were doing Kim's crying face," said Amanda Stewart.
"We love you the most because you can take & dish out a joke," wrote Staciee.
Even mom Kris Jenner joined in the teasing, writing: "Kourtney there are people that are dying..."
Newsweek has reached out to Kourtney Kardashian and Kim Kardashian for comment via email.
The post appears to have been shared in good fun, with Kim joining Kourtney and younger sister Khloé Kardashian for the tropical vacation.
The playful ribbing is a far cry from what occurred in the latest season of The Kardashians, the family's reality show on Hulu.
The Season 4 premiere, which aired in September, showed Kim and Kourtney continuing their feud from Season 3.
The clash began when Kim was the creative director for a Dolce & Gabbana show, curating a collection of 90s looks from the Italian brand's archives.
Kourtney slammed the collaboration, accusing the 43-year-old of stealing her thunder. The show followed on the heels of Kourtney's May 2023 wedding to Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, with the Poosh founder accusing Kim of capitalizing on her big day by stealing the "vibe."
"You cannot stand someone else being the center of attention," Kourtney told Kim in a tense phone call, accusing her sister of jealousy.
"You came to my wedding, you couldn't be happy, you complained from the second you got there till the second you left," she continued. "Forget about 'you couldn't be happy.' You couldn't be happy for me."
Kim replied: "What is it that you feel so low of me? I want you to dig deep and figure out why you hate me so much and why you're so angry with me because all of this never happened."
Kim then said that Kourtney's family and friends have a group chat dedicated to complaining about her. In response, Kourtney labeled Kim a "narcissist."
"It's like you're just a f****** witch and I f****** hate you," Kourtney said, weeping.
Although the sisters appeared to make up in October, with Kourtney sending Kim a photo of their late father, Robert Kardashian, in college as an olive branch.
"We both said things we weren't proud of. Anyone who has sisters knows the dynamic," Kourtney said later in the show.
"You could get into a crazy fight then send each other a funny text and everything's all good. She's my sister. Come on. We're not fighting like that forever."
