Kourtney Kardashian is reportedly "frustrated" with her stepdaughter, Alabama Barker, over her recent online activity.

Alabama has been involved in a back-and-forth with rapper Bhad Bhabie, and although Kardashian has told her to let things slide, it appears that is easier said than done.

Reports have revealed that Kourtney Kardashian believes it's time to employ a crisis PR but would not force her decisions on Alabama Barker as she's an adult.

Alabama, whose father Travis Barker is married to Kardashian, has been involved in a beef with Bhad Bhabie after the "Gucci Flip Flops" rapper accused her of trying to "steal" her boyfriend Le Vaughn.

The 19-year-old denied it, claiming Vaughn misled her into believing he was single. According to the Daily Mail, Kardashian has told her to quit the drama, yet the teenager seems hell-bent on following through on the phrase "no retreat, no surrender."

"Kourtney is at her wit's end with Alabama," an insider told the news outlet. "She is a loose cannon and refuses to play by the family's request to be drama-free. Despite pleas to stay out of trouble, Alabama is doing the exact opposite. Kourtney doesn't raise her children this way."

Another insider told the news outlet that Kardashian and Travis "want nothing to do with Bhad Bhabie and have told Alabama to live her life but cool it down when it comes to this feud. They don't want to get mixed up in it."

"They don't want to pour gasoline on a fire. They have told Alabama to stand down and not be triggered, but it's proving to be easier said than done," the source explained.

The "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" alum is said to be "frustrated" with Alabama over the issue and is concerned about the impact her influence is having on her younger kids.

"Kourtney and Travis are not clashing over what to do with Alabama because they share the same beliefs about her actions," the source added. "They're just frustrated because there is nothing they can do. She doesn't blame Travis."

They continued, "She believes Alabama needs crisis PR, but she's an adult, making her own choices, and Kourtney can only sit back and let it play out."

Kardashian shares Mason, Penelope, and Reign with her ex Scott Disick, as well as 1-year-old son Rocky with Travis, who is also father to son Landon, daughter Alabama, and his stepdaughter Atiana, all of whom he shares with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler.

The reality TV star was seemingly left dumbfounded after Reign appeared on Instagram Live with Alabama's boyfriend, Scooter Jackson, and responded to a viewer's inquiry if Justin Bieber was his real dad.

"No, he's not. Bro, I swear, Justin Bieber is not my dad. Scotty...Scotty...Scotty is my dad," he declared. "I don't know how old my mom was, but I think Justin Bieber was 16 when I got born. I don't think my mom would do that."

They added, "She tries to keep her kids away from this stuff, but as they get older, she is unable to as easily."

Back in March, Kardashian was forced to address online rumors that her son Mason has secretly welcomed a baby girl named Piper.

"I rarely address rumors or conspiracies regarding myself or my family, but this is about my child and it feels wrong to let anyone think for a second that these lies are remotely true. They are not," she wrote on her Instagram story at the time.

Kardashian continued, "Mason does not have a child. These accounts that pretend to be him are definitely not. They are FAKE. My son really values his privacy, and I am asking all media to please be respectful: he is a kid with feelings and a beautiful life ahead of him."

She went on to ask the public to "please stop spreading false narratives and spinning lies."

"And to all the other people making videos about my kids (who, by the way, are minors), please stop and leave them alone," Kardashian concluded.
