Ready for the Kardashian family feud you didn't quite know you needed today? The Kardashian-Jenners has reportedly parted ways with their longtime makeup artist, Joyce Bonelli. According to Us Weekly (opens in new tab), the split was "amicable"—but no one from the family follows Bonelli on Instagram anymore.
"The family doesn't speak to her anymore," an insider told the outlet (opens in new tab). "She hasn't worked for them for months. They just stopped working with her because they didn't see it as a right fit anymore. The news comes just two days after Bonelli wished Khloé Kardashian a happy birthday on Instagram. "Ma·tri·arch of lifeeee," she wrote (opens in new tab). "Always got your back 😝especially w that glitterrrr." Earlier this month, Bonelli even posted a photo (opens in new tab) of Kim's daughter, North West (opens in new tab).
Although the family has yet to show any signs of bad blood (unlike Kim's very-public split from her assistant (opens in new tab), Stephanie Shepherd), the decision to cut ties with Bonelli comes as a bit of a surprise. Bonelli has worked with the Kardashians for over a decade and even referred to them as "her sisters" in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter last year. "We text every other day and we talk about everything," she said (opens in new tab) at the time.

TBD on whether or not the Kardashians will address the feud—I'd personally like some answers, Kris.
