KOURTNEY Kardashian left an Australian newscaster angry after ignoring him live on air.
In a very awkward moment, the reality star refused to talk after host David Campbell asked her how Kim was doing following the Paris robbery.
Kourtney was on Today Extra to promote a skincare range but shut down as soon as the presenter mentioned her sister.
The eldest Kardashian appeared to be in no mood for his questions on the wellbeing of her sister following her robbery at gunpoint in Paris earlier this month.
Host David said: "You should know that the people of Australia and of our show were very empathetic about what happened and very horrified.
"so we were wondering, how is everyone going and how is Kim doing?"
Kourtney then replied: "Um…" Before a woman in the room can be heard telling her to stop talking.
The reality TV star proceeded to stare into the distance in silence, listening to her PR in the background, as the Australian presenter grew increasingly frustrated.
He said: "I'm sorry is there someone talking to you? I'm just wondering how Kim is doing?"
A Today Extra producer then tells him the interview has been cut short because he asked about Kim before he lashes out at the reality TV star.
He then turned to his co-host Sonia Kruger "I think she's blanking me, She's totally blanking me on that question. She could just say her sister's fine.
"We just said we're very concerned and we were onside and we hope that everyone's fine."
Sonia then says: "Anyway, we thank Kourtney for her time this morning."
But it turns out Kourtney was still on the line and listening to the whole exchange.
After a commercial break, she returned and blamed the awkward episode on a "bad connection" before telling Campbell her sister was still shaken up.
"I think she has a big supportive family and I know that, like all of the traumatic things that we've been through, we get through them together as a family and that's what family is all about."
David apologised at the end of the interview and praised Kourtney for returning to answer his question.
