On this week's episode of The Culpo Sisters, Sophia and Olivia Culpo got into a disagreement over a stolen bikini. But for Sophia, it was more than that. She felt like her family wasn't supportive of her and always defended her sister.

The first installment of the hit TLC series aired its premiere on November 7, 2022, and has been receiving a mixed set of reactions from viewers. While some loved watching the sisters' journey, others criticized the show for resembling the Kardashian family or for being boring. Viewers will have to keep watching to see how the rest of the season pans out.

The official synopsis of the show reads:

"Olivia and Sophia's sibling rivalry reaches new heights; the whole family rallies around Aurora as she celebrates her first birthday as a single woman; Sophia's boyfriend pressures her to tell Olivia she's moving out."

Olivia and Sophia get into an argument on The Culpo Sisters

On tonight's episode of The Culpo Sisters, Olivia and Sophia Culpo wanted to throw their sister Aurora a birthday party to get her mind off her divorce. The ladies organized a yacht party for their sister and ahead of leaving to pick Aurora up, Olivia found out that Sophia had stolen her bikini. However, at that point in time, she didn't pay any heed to the same.

During the bus ride to Aurora's house, Olivia began making an Instagram story about Sophia's new bikini. In the story, she revealed that it was her bikini, adding that her sister stole it from her room. Sophia was frustrated that her sister was trying to turn the story into something that it wasn't. She also tried explaining her side of the story, saying how she too had ordered the same bikini but her box had disappeared.

However, Olivia maintained that the bikini belonged to her, saying her sister stole it. Sophia also explained that she had unboxed her own bikini and kept it in her room, from where it disappeared. The Culpo Sisters stars then got into a heated argument, following which Sophia called Olivia a "bully."

In a confessional, Olivia said:

"I know that swimsuit doesn't belong to her. I know that I unboxed it. I know that I put it on the bed that she stole it off of. I know that's my suit. She's offending me because she stole my bikini, and I'm just trying to make a joke out of it and that's not allowed. It really doesn't make any sense. It's like..I should be mad, not her..It's just..I don't know how she flipped this."

Later on in The Culpo Sisters episode, Sophia explained why she was frustrated with her sister. She stated that Olivia tried to spin every situation to her own benefit and made Sophia seem like a bad person. She also got emotional over the same as she sat aside from the rest of the family on the bus ride as well as on the yacht.

Sophia also confessed to feeling bad about her sister making fun of her in front of her 5 million followers. In a confessional, Sophia said:

"This is the type of situation that I absolutely hate. Because I feel like I'm with the people that are supposed to support you the most and I just feel horrible because my parents always side with Olivia."

The Culpo Sisters star continued:

"There is nothing I can do to escape the constant narrative that Olivia is this God sent angel that just has given me this beautiful life that I've done nothing to deserve."

Season 1 of The Culpo Sisters has been getting dramatic with each passing episode. As the sisters get involved in more drama, there is only more to come. Will they be able to resolve their differences and manage personal issues? Only time will tell.
