Kanye West’s anti-Semitism scandal finally came to light The Kardashians. Kim Kardashian had a meltdown with her ex-husband as she sobbed to her sister Khloé Kardashian about how she ‘just can’t pull herself together’.
“I literally haven’t changed my outfit in two days,” the 42-year-old cried as she was uncharacteristically late to a meeting. Kim added that the Kanye she sees now is “so different from the person I married.”
“What you’re dealing with isn’t OK,” Khloé told her sister.
“I feel so bad for him. I don’t even think he feels bad for himself. I don’t even know if he knows how,” Kim said.
“You have spoken to him ?” Khloe asked.
“No,” Kim replied. “It’s like, should I reach out?” The Skims co-founder, who split from the musician in 2021, said he would “probably walk away from me.”
The rapper made headlines last fall for multiple controversies. He came under fire in October for promoting “White Lives Matter” gear at his Yeezy fashion show. While defending the coup, he made various anti-Semitic remarks. Kim remained silent for weeks, but on October 24, she shared this message on social media: “I support my Jewish friends and the Jewish people.” A day later, the Grammy winner was officially let go by Adidas, costing him his billionaire status.
Kim admitted to feeling “guilty” about the situation.
“I posted something in favor of the Jewish community, and then people dropped it today, and I’m like – is this my fault? Did it push them and I should have shut up? But I talk about everything else and I like I never know what to do,” Kim told Khloé.
Kim and Kanye had been together for a decade and share four children: North, 10, Saint, 7, Chicago, 5, and Psalm, 4.
“The whole situation is sad and I don’t know how to handle it emotionally,” Kim added in her confessional. “I’m conflicted because I never want to step in and be part of the downfall of the father of my children.”
Khloé assured her sister “it’s not your fault.”
“It really isn’t. He had so many chances to retract and he was doubling up all the time,” Khloé explained.
Khloé also clarified her position on the situation in her confessional: “None of us share these anti-Semitic views, we think it is seriously irresponsible. people standing.”
“I think sometimes our silence speaks louder and what you guys did wasn’t wrong,” Khloé added to Kim. “What you did has nothing to do with what’s going on right now.”
“People make their own choices and their own decisions,” Kim agreed.
Khloé sympathized with Kim’s conflicted feelings as she had her own struggles with her ex-husband, Lamar Odom, in the public eye.
“Kim, every day I feel bad for Lamar. Every day,” Khloé explained. “Lamar will forever be remembered as a drug addict.”
Khloé continued, “It’s Kanye’s stuff, but that doesn’t mean we don’t feel bad about it. I’m not on your level and I’m not going through what you’re going through right now. but I can relate.”
Khloé went on to say that people have been “wanting to cancel” the rapper for a while. “It’s probably only the last thing, but that too will pass.”
Kim admitted that the situation was “really difficult”.
“I don’t wish that on anyone. I’m never one to say ‘woe to me,’ but there are times when I get overwhelmed,” she said in her confessional. “There’s so much to think about. I’m so angry but I’m also so sad. Your instinct is, ‘Wow, like I can never talk to that person again.’ But then you think about your babies and it’s hard for me to understand.”
Later in the episode, Kim is filmed spending time with her four children amidst the scandal who are unaware of the situation.
“It’s just hard for me to understand like – if they don’t know anything, why wouldn’t dad come over for dinner? Why isn’t dad minding my business? It’s killing me. It’s the only thing that gives me anxiety. So I’m embarrassed if people are going to say something at a game or a reception, is it safe, is it dangerous?” Kim told the cameras. “I just don’t know what to do. So, I’m dealing with this the best way I can because I want my kids to see a healthy dad. You know, it’s just a lot.”
