We weren’t over Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan’s blink-and-you-miss-it breakup. And turns out, neither are Larsa’s friends. Her fellow Real Housewives have been questioning if the separation was even real in the first place. Kiki Barth is the latest RHOM star wondering aloud if Pippen really broke up with younger boyfriend.
In an interview after that heated reunion, Kiki Barth recalled reaching out to Larsa with words of support. Pippen responded with “Thanks babe.” And “literally two minutes later,” Kiki discovered Larsa had reconciled with Michael Jordan’s son. Given that she was just lending support when Larsa was back with Marcus, Barth was left reeling. “Is this for real? I don’t know. I’m asking the same questions you guys are asking because I don’t get it. I don’t really understand what’s happening.”
Kiki is not a main cast member but billed as a ‘friend’ of Larsa though they have their differences. Unlike some of her other castmates who admitted they weren’t on speaking terms with Pippen at the moment, Kiki was. The closeness however didn’t prepare her for the breakup news.

“I was as surprised as all of you,” Barth said about verifying with her own eyes on Instagram. Once it was proven that Larsa and Marcus had unfollowed each other over the Super Bowl weekend and removed all traces of each other on their social media, she texted Larsa.
“I’m sorry that this is happening,” she told Larsa. “If you need anything, I’m here for you as a friend.” Remember Larsa posted a series of cryptic stories after breakup including if friends should unfollow one’s ex. If Kiki Barth complied, it’s not clear. While she’s Team Larsa most of the time, the breakup debacle left her confused.

Another Housewife questions LarCus split
Bravo insiders and some of the Housewives implied that Marcus’ behavior at the reunion was the cause of the split. He apparently made some “nasty” and “condescending” comments backstage because everyone brought up his dad, Michael Jordan a lot. His rant reportedly left a bad taste in the ladies’ mouths.
After ceremonially removing each other from their respective social media, Marcus was at the Super Bowl game with MJ. Within three days of the split though, they followed each other again and were spotted on a date on Valentine’s Day. Larsa Pippen doesn’t outrightly call it a breakup but said they needed space away from each other.

However, given how quickly they reconciled, Kiki questioned if the break was real at all. “I’m asking myself, like, was this really a stunt?” She wasn’t the only Housewife questioning the authenticity of the split. But Kiki is one of the few on her side and would rather give her the benefitt of the doubt. What do you think about Kiki’s stance?
