My family always knew I was a little off, but this wasn’t even something people talked about when I was a kid. (In my teen years people started talking about hyperactivity - the precursor to ADHD) I also had horrible PMS that was just being recognized as a valid thing.
Anyhoo, I didn’t get diagnosed or medicated until…
“Another source added that the couple’s relationship has started to suffer as a result of West’s behavior, with that source saying that “Things have broken down significantly between the two of them, and it’s happened pretty suddenly.””
I remember watching a TV show some years ago, I think it was called ‘Haters’ (god I hate that overused word), where celebrities would meet with people who said a bunch of nasty stuff about them online. Kim K came across as a genuinely sympathetic person on her episode, and it showed a lot of the charity work she does…
Kanye’s choices are infinitely more destructive I think, and it really bugs me how many people keep asking for Kim to “come get her man.” WhyTF can’t he come get himself?
Exactly this. I feel no sympathy for any adults in this circle. They all knew what they were getting into and have built their careers around being public spectacles one way or another, so they’ve gotten what they asked for.
Not that you were like, asking for more content, but her latter two kids were had via surrogacy, so it was probably a lot easier to miss, since there weren’t any pregnancy photos of Kim at the time, and I think they did make a real effort to keep the surrogate out of the public eye for the most part.
She should have him involuntarily committed. She has the money and resources to make that happen. He is self-admittedly off his meds and is demonstrating manic behavior for the world to see. There is no reason she should not be able to secure his hospitalization, at least for 72 hours under a 5150.
This so much - there were signs that he needed help for a long time, and she’s known and done things about it in the past. She needs to take her kids and run and get him some help. They are enabling this and she knows he’s sick. It’s terrible.
Honestly, she can’t control him but she can contribute to a more healthy environment for him and the family. It’s time for her to take her money and step away. Go to Wyoming or wherever, and actually enjoy their lives instead of performing them. It would take so much pressure off of the two of them, their kids, and…
I actually feel sympathy for Kim. The reason she had her other babies through surrogates was because of placenta accretia and pre-eclampsia. She had to have the baby in question - the one Kanye is ranting about ‘nearly killing’ - delivered 6 weeks early because her life was in danger.
Making (and making bank off) a sex tape in your twenties and showing off your body is nowhere near as bad as a mentally ill, deeply narcissistic father who abuses his offspring through his own performative delusions of anguished grandeur. I was the kid of such a parent and believe me, I WISH the worst of their sins…
This. Also, why is it always the woman’s job to fix the man? Yes, he’s her husband and the father of her children, but he’s also a grown man who has the money and resources to seek mental help and seemingly doesn’t. His madness is almost performance art at this point. He comes off as a nightmare of selfish narcissism,…
I’m more concerned that any one of them may have bipolar disorder and struggle to get proper treatment because of his refusal to do so. It’s genetic, so it wouldn’t be shocking that at least one of them has it. My father passed it on to me, and I went until 19 without being diagnosed because he doesn't believe in…
That’s terrible. I’m sorry. Many parents don’t deserve their children. Thanks to the terrible-wonderful internet, we’re all sharing some pretty fucked up shit from our childhoods. Our deep shames become opportunities to name them and heal with other people. I hope you are well.
THIS. Kim has pretty much made her bed at this point and can sleep in it. But the seven year old, Kanye, WTF? Honestly, he probably shouldn’t have had children. Hopefully they don’t get tangled up in his public delusions in the future.
I just realized I stopped paying attention to the Kardashians right around the time Saint was born. I did not realize there were 2 more kids.
Dear Kim,
I disagree... I don’t think Kim really comes off as that cold. She’s done ton of advocacy stuff and truly getting to know the people she’s trying to help - you could argue, I guess, that the point of this is to “look good” but meh. She seems to care about her kids at least.
Kim doesn’t care about anything but how she looks in public.
