Reality TV mogul Kim Kardashian is reportedly unhappy with actress Sydney Sweeney’s skyrocketing career, believing the Hollywood starlet is copying her path to fame.
According to a source cited by RadarOnline, Kardashian feels “totally overshadowed” in both the business and social spotlight as Sweeney’s influence continues to grow.
Tension Sparked at Star-Studded Wedding
The rivalry reportedly intensified in June during Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s lavish Venice wedding. While Kardashian attended hoping to make headlines, sources claim that all eyes were on Sweeney, who stole the show with her glamorous presence.
“Kim is extremely jealous and angry that Sydney has taken the spotlight,” an insider revealed. “Everyone was talking about Sydney, and it really got under Kim’s skin. She had hoped to connect with Tom Brady at the event but ended up feeling completely overlooked.”
Branding Clash
What bothers Kardashian the most, reports suggest, is that Sweeney has successfully blended her acting career with modeling and business ventures — a formula Kardashian believes she pioneered. The insider explained, “Kim does see Sydney as beautiful and talented, but she is convinced Sydney has copied her brand, mixing reality TV appeal with entrepreneurial projects.”
Earlier this year, Kardashian launched Bathwater Bliss, a novelty soap line famously infused with her own used bathwater — a venture that sparked widespread attention. Meanwhile, Sweeney is expanding her own brand collaborations while maintaining her acting momentum.
Sydney Sweeney’s Rise
The 26-year-old actress rose to fame through acclaimed HBO series like Euphoria and The White Lotus, quickly establishing herself as one of Hollywood’s most bankable young stars. Her career trajectory stands in contrast to Kardashian, who built her empire through reality television with Keeping Up With the Kardashians and its spinoff The Kardashians, later expanding into beauty, fashion, and lifestyle businesses.
Ongoing Rivalry
While both women command major influence in entertainment and business, reports suggest Kardashian continues to view Sweeney as direct competition. Whether the alleged feud escalates further remains to be seen, but one thing is clear — Sydney Sweeney’s rising fame is reshaping the celebrity spotlight.
