“It wasn’t that I was tattletaling,” Alabama emphasized, “it was for his own good.”

Kourtney—who shares son Rocky, 2, with Travis—suggested that her actions were brought on by a concern for Landon’s “safety.”

Alabama agreed, noting, “Yeah, because I love him.”

Kourtney—also mom to Mason, 16, Penelope, 15, and Reign, 11, with ex Scott Disick—continued to reassure her stepdaughter, bringing up her own experience as a loving sister.

“As a sibling who cares,” Kourtney told Alabama, “it’s always okay to tattletale if needed.”

In fact, the Lemme founder shared that she’s been a similar situation with her sister Kim Kardashian.

“I didn’t talk to Kim once for four weeks in high school,” Kourtney revealed. “No, college.”

The reason? According to the 47-year-old, Kim didn’t reveal the news of her marriage to Damon Thomas herself.

“Kim got married when she was 19 and she didn’t tell me,” she said in a confessional. “My friends told me.”
