The world is still reeling from Kanye West‘s controversial, disturbing antisemitic remarks made on social media and in interviews, and Kim Kardashian is reportedly concerned about the safety of the former couple’s four children. Kardashian, 42, seemed to allude to her estranged husband’s hate speech in a recent tweet without mentioning him.
In addition, according to an insider source that allegedly spoke to E! News, the SKIMS mogul is prioritizing creating a peaceful environment for her kids; daughter North, 9, son Saint, 6, daughter Chicago, 4, and son Psalm, 3. We’ll break it all down:

Kim Kardashian’s Statement In Solidarity With The Jewish Community
On October 24th, Kardashian tweeted a statement for her 74 million followers that seemed to speak out against the hateful rhetoric that West (legally known as Ye), 45, has recently been promoting. Kardashian wrote, “Hate speech is never OK or excusable,” while appearing to condemn Ye without explicitly mentioning him. “I stand together with the Jewish community and call on the terrible violence and hateful rhetoric towards them to come to an immediate end.”

An Insider Source Allegedly Speaks To E! News
Kardashian is not only making it clear that she does not align with Ye or his views, but also trying to distance her children from the drama, controversy and backlash, an insider source allegedly dished to E! News.
“Kim’s just always worried about the kids,” the insider said of the reality star’s priorities as a mother. A second source supposedly gave more insight into how she is handling everything while raising her children at home, “Kim is good at compartmentalizing and trying to keep things peaceful for the kids,” the insider shared. “They focus on the kids and what they are doing.”

Another Major Loss For Ye: His Adidas Partnership
Ye’s ex wife isn’t the only person to publicly denounce his antisemitism this month, as other notable celebrities have also called him out for hate speech, including Jamie Lee Curtis, Lizzo, John Legend and Sarah Silverman, among others. In recent weeks, former fans of the rapper and fashion designer have deemed his antisemitic comments to be “inappropriate,” “harmful,” and “horrific” on Twitter and elsewhere.

On October 25th, following the Donda hitmaker’s remarks, Adidas terminated their partnership with Ye and his Yeezy brand. In their statement, the company wrote, “Adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech,” adding, “Ye’s recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful and dangerous, and they violate the company’s values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect and fairness.”

The German multinational corporation explained to fans that after a formal review, they have decided to “terminate the partnership with Ye immediately, end production of Yeezy branded products and stop all payments to Ye and his companies.” Since the news of this dropped, the “Love Lockdown” rapper has compared the end of his business deal to George Floyd’s murder along with other ridiculous and insensitive comments.
