Kanye West’s X (formerly Twitter) account was shut down last week after the “Runaway” rapper, 47, went on a disturbing tirade, making racist and antisemitic remarks, including praising Adolf Hitler and calling himself a “Nazi,” which left many users horrified.
In the latest episode of The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian opened up about her relationship with the Grammy winner, reflecting on her tumultuous marriage and comparing it to her sister Khloé’s difficult time with Lamar Odom, who faced his own struggles with addiction. The SKIMS founder, 44, who was married to the Yeezy mogul from 2014 to 2022 and shares four children with him, said that the “Heartless” artist is “not the same person” she married over a decade ago.
Kim Kardashian Gets Candid About Kanye West 'Not Being The Same Person' She Married After His X Account Is Removed For Hate Speech
Kim's younger sister Khloé, 40, confessed on the family's Hulu reality show that she "got married way too quickly" to Lamar, 45. The Good American businesswoman added: "That was the love of my life, and if it wasn't for drugs, I know we would still be married 'til today." This resonated with Kim, who then said: "That's the hardest part. I've been there."
Regarding her past relationship with Kanye, Kim continued: "When you don't foresee something happening that really changes a person's personality and then they're not the same person and you can't ever get that person back, but you can't live with the new person." Kim stressed: "I get it." In a confessional scene, the mom of four (who shares North, 11, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 5, with Kanye) got candid about the end of her second marriage.
Kim Kardashian Is Reportedly 'Staying Far Away' From Kanye West After His 'Disturbing' Social Media Posts
She looked at the camera and shared: "It's tougher when you don't want your marriage to end off of personal reasons but circumstances change that force your marriage to end." The SKKN beauty mogul went on: "When you weren't planning on that and that's not really the outcome you want but there's no other option, I think it makes it harder to get over."
Kim filed for divorce from Kanye in 2021 after six years of marriage, citing ongoing challenges as he grappled with bipolar disorder in the public eye.
In court documents from the time, she voiced her frustration over their co-parenting struggles and his controversial social media behavior. Now, as reported by Page Six, Kim plans to stay "far away" from her ex-husband amid his "disturbing" posts.
This follows Kanye's jarring tweet featuring a swastika T-shirt, which he called his greatest "work of art." A source dished to the outlet that Kim "wants nothing to do with his drama" and that she hasn't "read all the messages Kanye posted because it’s not worth her time and energy." They stressed that Kim has not "reached out to Kanye at all" as of late.
