Alabama Barker's issues with Bhad Bhabie have allegedly affected her relationship with Kourtney Kardashian.
Sources recently addressed the tensions within the Kardashian-Barker home, claiming Alabama has triggered Kourtney's wrath by involving her sons in the feud. Even her dad, Travis Barker, wasn't spared from the fallout.
The bad blood between Alabama Barker and Bhad Bhabie has been brewing for months, with Kourtney Kardashian's youngest son, Rocky, getting dragged into the mess in April. However, "The Kardashians" star didn't put her foot down until her stepdaughter involved her other son, Reign, in the drama.
Kourtney Kardashian Will No Longer Tolerate Her Family's Involvement In Alabama Barker's Feud

A source spilled the tea on the tensions within the Kardashian-Barker home, stressing that Alabama's issues with Bhad Bhabie had affected Kourtney and Travis negatively. "This is a huge source of stress for them as a couple," the insider alleged, adding:
"They're both upset and worried about Alabama, and now on top of that, Kourtney's hit the roof because Rocky and Reign have both gotten dragged into the negativity."
The source explained Kourtney initially kept quiet because Travis "is extremely protective of Alabama." However, she could no longer tolerate having her young sons make headlines and get dragged into the ridiculous feud. They told In Touch:
"Until recently, Kourtney was biting her tongue and trying to mostly stay out of it and let Travis take charge, but she's too upset to stay quiet now and wants to start making some rules and laying down the law."

Kourtney's sons became entangled in the raging feud when Bhad Bhabie's Barbara used the youngest Rocky to diss Alabama.
She labeled the latter a "little dirty a-- hoe" for mentioning her granddaughter, Kali, in a diss track instead of focusing on her father's new family. "Rocky rules while you're just on your knees," Barbara quipped in a separate post.
Kourtney's older son Reign became involved in the drama when Alabama's boyfriend took him on an Instagram Live session without her permission. The source noted the incident made Kourtney "very upset, and she is making sure everyone knows it," adding:
"Rocky's a baby, and he's already getting trash talked in public thanks to Alabama having this toxic feud. And now, thanks to Alabama's boyfriend, Reign has had to answer questions from random strangers on the internet about whether Justin Bieber is his dad, it's absolutely horrifying."

Given the tense situation, the source claimed "everyone is predicting fireworks" to erupt between Kourtney and Alabama. They stressed that once the reality TV star puts her foot down, "you can bet that won't go over well with Alabama."
Their claims of a possible rift in Kourtney and Alabama's relationship matched previous comments from other sources. Last month, The Blast reported the Kardashian family expected Kourtney to put out the fire her stepdaughter started as they could get caught in the crossfire.
Bhad Bhabie's mom implied she would spill their secrets in a now-expired Instagram Story rant, claiming: "I'm coming for the EMPIRE even if it takes my last breath." An insider alleged that her threats sent the Kardashians into "a huge panic," and they turned to Kourtney to remedy the situation.
Why The Kardashians Fear Their Involvement In The Feud

A source claimed the Kardashians feared their involvement in the drama between Alabama and Bhad Bhabie because their secrets could be leaked. "Alabama has been around the family for years now and privy to all sorts of things they do not want to have blasted around," they explained.
"The fact is there's really no way to know exactly what she shared with Bhad Bhabie back when they were best friends and hanging around together all the time. She could really be a liability," the source added. Bhad Bhabie has already proven she is a problem by dragging Kim Kardashian into the mess.
In an attempt to shame Alabama, Bhad Bhabie alleged Kim and Travis once had a romantic relationship before the Blink-182 drummer tied the knot to Kourtney. An insider noted the rapper's claims left the Kardashian sisters "mortified" and denied the allegations.
Bhad Bhabie Started The Feud Over Alabama Barker's Alleged Betrayal

The drama between Alabama and Bhad Bhabie started months earlier when the rapper accused the drummer's daughter of betraying her. She dropped the bombshell allegation on Instagram, revealing she had ended things with her baby daddy, Le Vaughn.
Bhad Bhabie claimed the on-and-off-again couple could have remained an item if Alabama hadn't swiped him from her during their break phase. She stressed that she had receipts of her former pal's betrayal, alleging that Alabama brought Vaughn to her home.
However, Alabama has vehemently denied the allegations and implied that Bhad Bhabie's hatred stemmed from insecurity. After the latter debuted blonde hair and fuller lips similar to hers, the media personality took shots at her look in a cryptic post, writing: "Imitation is the best form of flattery."
