Kanye West

[Pea-n-Me]

I don’t think we’ve ever had a thread about him.

I don’t know of him too well (nor Kim or Pete), but some of the things he’s posting on social media amid his divorce from Kim Kardashian seem pretty extreme, especially the latest:

I hope for the sake of his kids he can get his act together.

He is harassing them, and they should get a restraining order asap.

Just because all parties involved are famous, doesn’t mean she deserves what she’s getting (as I’m sure the comments will be coming).

 

[shh]

He's a low class loser - starting with his disgusting behavior at the music awards when Taylor Swift won an award HE thought (in his own egotistical opinion) his friend should have won. I really don't know why people continue to indulge every bigoted thing he says and allow him to do the things he does. But it seems the meaner and more obnoxious you are and the worse you treat others, the more society respects you these days.

He's a media *****

Or with a more acceptable term, a media prostitute.

 

[DisneyJamieCA]

He is harassing & abusing Kim. And using it to promote his album. There are a lot of words for him, but they’ll all get me in trouble here.

I did see yesterday the judge granted her “single” status back, which he had been fighting.

I hope he gets the help he needs, gets back on his meds and leaves her alone. His Instagram has been pretty unhinged the last few weeks.

I never thought there’d be the day I was defending Kim Kardashian. But my heart aches for her.

 

[mamamary]

He has gotten way out of hand with his instagram account. I am more worried about what his fans will do. If you read some of the comments it’s downright scary.

 

[antmaril]

I cannot stand him. Ugh!

 

[Marrila]

I think he struggles with mental illness.
Too much money probably doesn't help either.

 

[DLgal]

This whole situation is upsetting. I am not a fan of either of them, but this type of relationship dynamic almost ALWAYS ends up with one or both people dead. She needs protection from him and he needs to get back on his meds and probably enter inpatient care until he is stabilized mentally.

Abusive behavior should never be allowed to be normalized in the name of fame or talent or anything else.

That squad of women are just a dumpster fire, they seem to destroy any man near them so while Kanye appears to be unstable I am not quite sure how much of it is real and how much of it comes from the character destroying machine the mother is plainly in bed with. I think the mother and the TMZ guy are besties and who knows how deep that goes since they generate money so when someone crosses them a whole team of their lackeys descend, it's happened over and over and over and mom seems perfectly ok with grinding other humans up to get more fame/money etc.

is mentally ill, and unfortunately does not seem to be getting/receiving treatment at this time, which can make him dangerous. We've publicly seen other times in his life where it is pretty clear he's not mentally well. While I'm not a fan of any of them; I definitely feel for those around him and especially his kids and their mom. It must be a very scary time for all of them.

You can’t blame them for the stuff he has put on Instagram. Or his music/videos. He has acknowledged his mental illness and HE has also said he doesn’t like to be medicated.

You don’t have to like the Kardashians, but this victim blaming is disgusting.

 

[robinb]

I was telling my DH the other day that Kim and her kids need a restraining order.

 

[Sinder]

It’s clear he needs help, I hope he gets it for everyone’s sake.

Not victim blaming, truly I have zero idea of whatever the new thing is in the news - I'm just vaguely aware that there is a thing, but then there is ALWAYS a thing. It's just impossible to ignore that this family seems to always be swirling in some sort of incredible towering drama that would really make Jerry Springer drool, and they are always the victims so someone else is always the villian. If ALL these women are really this awful at choosing partners they need some serious family psychoanalysis at a group discount and life coach helpers. Either these women are completely incapable of making good decisions or the machine picks off troublesome men, one or the other has got to be true.

Then do yourself a favor and read up on what Kanye has done the last few weeks, specifically.

This goes beyond cheating and baby mamas. He is literally harassing & abusing her. He is threatening Pete Davidson. He goes on manic rants on IG and then deletes them all.

She cannot be blamed in any way that HE refuses to treat his mental illness.

Kanye was known for instability before she married him. I’m not saying what he’s doing is okay, but it’s not as if it wasn’t foreseeable. Why would anyone marry into that?

TV ratings for the Kardashian series. Lol.

Many people with mental illness live very productive lives.

I don’t see how anybody could foresee what he’s doing now. And the salt in the wound is he’s using it to promote his music. Do you say that about all victims of abuse? They knew who they married? Or do you hold celebrities to a different standard?

Like I said, I’m not a fan of the Kardashians, but I can have empathy for a mother who is trying to navigate this for her kids, while being harassed & abused by her ex. In the public eye. With a following who’s apparently willing to do “what’s needed” if he said so.

I can’t understand anybody placing blame with anybody but him.

I guess I do hold the Kardashian Jenners to a different standard, because they will do anything for attention. It’s the very air they breathe. And Kim is the worst of the lot. Sorry, but I think Kanye had enough red flags popping up that she knew he was a big risk. But he also came with the big rewards of more fame, attention, and cross marketing… and she lives for that. Any way this story goes, she gets more attention, so there’s an up side for her. You may think I sound harsh or cynical, but I think I’m a realist.

If she was just a “normal” celebrity or your average citizen, I’d likely feel differently. But her entire life, from her teen years, has been geared to amass fame and fortune for just being known, for LIKES, and she’s clearly willing to do anything to accomplish that. She may have gotten more than she bargained for in Kanye, because she can’t control him and she’s not used to that. But he essentially had a neon WARNING sign blinking on his head when they hooked up. She weighed the pros and cons and thought the payoff would be worth it. And she may be right.
