is speaking out about husbandstar released a statement on social media on Wednesday, July 22, following another series of tweets from the Grammy winner. "As many of you know, Kanye has bi-polar disorder. Anyone who has this or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand," Kim.
The mom of four continued, "Those that understand mental illness or even compulsive behavior know that the family is powerless unless the member is a minor. People who are unaware or far removed from this experience can be judgmental and not understand that the individual themselves have to engage in the process of getting help no matter how hard family and friends try."
Kim wrote that she "understands" her husband is "subject to criticism because he is a public figure and his actions at times can cause strong opinions and emotions." However, she noted that, "He is a brilliant but complicated person who on top of the pressures of being an artist and a black man, who experienced the painful loss of his mother, has to deal with the pressure and isolation that is heightened by his bi-polar disorder.
She then called for understanding and privacy. "We as a society talk about giving grace to the issue of mental health as a whole, however we should also give it to the individuals who are living with it in times when they need it the most," Kim concluded her note. "I kindly ask that the media and public give us the compassion and empathy that is needed so that we can get through this.
Curse
I don’t care! I’m more worried about the millions of people that have contracted covid...you’re going to be ok kanye 🙄
Coming to three KUWTK episodes in their next production cycle. The Kardashian way: “Let’s monetize Kanye’s historical ignorance, under the premise of a mental health issue”.
Kim K get the heck out of that marriage, it’s toxic for your children
Kanye has been going off for years now she's just speaking out now
Oh for Pete’s sake! This is just straight out ridiculous! The only person that is going to benefit from this (highly paid) public announcement is you &Kris Jenner. Go away Kim Kardashian, please. kanyewest KimKardashianWest KrisJenner kimye KimKardashianIsOverParty
freebritney please
Bravo to and KimKardashian PR machine for crafting such an eloquent statement...and completely deflecting attention away from kanyewest revealing that he hates KrisJenner, and has been trying to Divorce Kim and get away from them for 2years. Bravo, PR team, Bravo!
Kanye
Soooo him being egomaniac & running for potus to garner votes away from trumps rival is a cry for help? He understands that very well, apparently his wife is in on the act also, going public in a Robin Givens sort of way. What drama, the kids eat this stuff up
I also suffer with b-polar and the way how people. The last few years I was very suspicious that he was having difficulty and told my husband i believe he has b- polar. I never said crazy like sooo many do. I wish him the best!!!
lol there’s always an excuse for Kanye always ALWAYS smh grow up GET HELP shut up don’t post shit on social media work on yourself for yourself & YOUR KIDS you aren’t a kid anymore your wife shouldn’t clean your mess. he’s worth billions but if he isn’t putting the effort ? lol
Damage control for her image.
I did not know this. It certainly explains and puts into perspective a great deal. Being sober for [a long time], I've seen many in the rooms driven to sobriety by this. It is a tough one to deal with.
Having experienced bi-polar in my family I give her a lot of credit fro speaking out. Mental illness is hard to understand even when it is in front of you. I do not believe she has an “agenda.” My hope would be that she become an advocate for mental health and bi-polar illlness.
NO ONE CARES!
she blames bi polar for the truth he's telling. shhh kanye.
Keep him at home and make sure he gets treated.
Kanye doesn’t need any more compassion than he’s receiving from his family. In fact he’s blessed to be where he is in his life. The thing to understand is how it makes the family feel and think and what y’all can share with the world to help us. Kanye is in God Hands,he’ll be ok
So after years on TV without showing compassion for the weak minded people, and bombing audiences with your stupid lifestyle, we need to show compassion to your absolute wreck of husband? I don’t think so!
So in other words let him say what he wants and don't judge him because he has bi-polar. Maybe he shouldn't be a politician then
If he needs compassion for a statement he has made, then the statement he has made is a serious one that should be confronted and not passed away into thin air as if it was nothing. Right is right and wrong is wrong, you as the significant other should be calling him out on it
He should have certainly known better than to try to be a candidate.
Being a President demands alot of responsibility. Look what happens when you get a President with a mental illness. He's working on destroying democracy and he's a racist piece of crap.
sis ... But we already...
This will be the end of the Kardashian-Jenner reign of filth and you would be wise to separate your network from them.
Nah Sorry........ I’m good ain’t got no more sympathy or compassion to give out. Get that man some help.
Then why do you allow him to make a spectacle of himself and a mockery of the presidential campaign? He's like the baby-man already in the WH...the difference is we KNOW Kanye has medication for his issues 🤦♀️
Thank you for leading with compassion and empathy KimKardashian at this difficult time for your family. It's extremely hard to go through this privately, you have to do it publicly, yet you are doing it with grace and helping to bring attention to an important issue.
He knows exactly what he's saying. His career tanked and he's desperate for attention
What he needs to do is drop out of the race and take care of his condition. He is in no space to run for office
I am aware of the trials that mental illness can put people through, as well as their families. Please know that there are many who still support and value Kanye and wish you all the very best in your endeavors. Please take the necessary time for your family to heal in peace.
Take your meds and stop embarrassing yourself..my brother was bipolar and my brother in law is..i have seenthe mania..
I find that a bipolar person having a manic episode is like a crack addict fiending another piece of crack. People in manic episodes are dangerous and unstable. Ask him to take his meds, if he cares about you, he’ll do it. If not, you are just the enabler.
Kanye supposedly has a “support system “ but from what I see whomever he has surrounding him including his family they are incapable or incompetent to seek true help for this man!!! They must like to see him make an ass of himself and see him going down the Rabbit hole!!!
Ya know what Kanye West does not get to use 'Mental Illness ' excuse for going around diminishing Black History. And Kim Kardashian does not get to ask people to respect their privacy. They made and are making their billions on exposing themselves. SHUT UP, GO!!
Then they'll the man to take his fucking meds. It's not excusable to tell us to forgive him when he purposefullydors NOT take his meds bc he doesn't believe in it. Why would I want a president like him? Whatever he does wrong people are going to come to his defense?
Maybe if Kim would do her part as a life partner to get him the help he needs and discourage him from showcasing his illness to the world, people wouldn’t have all this cannon fodder.
COMPASSION IS ONE THING. ACCEPTING HIS BID TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IS QUITE ANOTHER. HOW DARE YOU ALLOW THIS TO ADD TO THE TERROR AND CHAOS WE AMERICANS ARE EXPERIENCING AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME?!
Generally, People are ashamed to talk about such things. It's gud to talk about such things.
Only if we can use the same excuse for realDonaldTrump and get him out of office, but he is just incompetent and wreckless
Sooooo, wait...she wrote that all by herself?!
KimKardashian please get him the health he needs, by all means available to you. Set the example. Embrace it now. Bipolar is hereditary.
🙏🏻🙏🏻💕
My son is bi-polar too. He stays on his meds and does great.
Says the woman who removed a rib to look more attractive to other people. Please share far and wide. HIV was never isolated the test is useless.
Then get him the help he needs and stop enabling his demented behavior. Clearly he has issues. You’re a frickin’ mega millionaire, commit his ass.
She didn’t ‘write’ her press release, her team did. She can barely speak without inserting ‘like’ in every sentence & that irritating vocal fry.
Then keep him away from politics and get him help
Whatever P.R. or crisis mgmt company's employee wrote this for her should get a raise, this was pretty darned good.
Since when is having bipolar disorder an excuse to degrade women on a public stage?
I lost my whole family to mental illness and am now an Orphan. I lost my father in 1983. I lost my oldest brother in 2006 at the age of 45. I lost my other brother in 2019 at the age of 55 and my Mother on February 13th, 2020 at the age of 80.
Just get him to leave America alone
Lock him up!
My mother was killed by a drunk driver this week, hundreds are dying everyday from Covid, protests just for everyone to be treated equally and unemployment numbers off the charts and this is news. Why not give back the stimulus money they recieved for struggling small businesses
He is having some real life issues and she is up to something! She is trying to paint him as crazy so she can get custody I bet! I never did like her...she seems so creepy and insincere
People are so judgmental. Unless you are bipolar or personally know someone who is, you would know that most people with a bipolar diagnosis struggle to see themselves as mentally ill. It’s manic and most refuse or are convinced they don’t need meds because they are fine ... sad
Hope he will be better soon.
I have no Pilar members in my family. It can be hard. But we have always kept out for signs of a breakdown and prevented ones out bursts. Less time in front of a lens or phone may help you and your family
If only someone in Trump's family would do the same...
Then she should tell him to stop. KimKardashian
That's unfortunate and I feel for both of you however he has no business making me statements about running for public office or trying to be spokesperson for the mental health community.
So sorry KimKardashian wish u and family best❤️🌴🏌🏿♀️
Why is he walking free and britneyspears has been trapped in a conservatorship for the past 12 years FreeBritney
Many people have Bipolar these days. I am one. I would not try for a major office period, but if I was, I would fact-check everything I possibly could or corroborate with others. If he is mentally ill, then he doesn't belong in the White House in control any more than Trump does.
You cannot possibly comment unless you've been there. It's just not fair and I wouldn't wish it on anyone
Kanye was in a bad accident at one point. Suffered head trauma. Is he crazy? Hell no! Just likes to say what's on his mind. We need more Kanye's in this world! We're all different in many ways but calling each other crazy is not productive.
She can make sure the genius stays well medicated. His mother or parent passed long ago and so have some of our mothers’ too. But we don’t use that or our race to excuse an out of control clinical behavior.
I have compassion for mental illness. Your statement is loving and kind, I wish him and your family well. However: we need him not to be saying he’s running for President. America needs some kindness and stability in 2021.
She’s about the dump him.
He does not get a free pass for degarding Harriet, nope, I have compassion for people but that was disgusting.
You have more resources to fix these type of problems but choose not to because of Wealth over Health. All bullshit and the Kardashians are part of the reason that man has gone crazier.
She needs to show him some kindness and compassion and get him some help.
He shouldn’t be running for president then.
Kanye rules my world. My musical world. 🎶🎶 I love Kanye West till eternity.
The nerve. What was her contribution? She couldn't wait to lock in her security dropping babies. She KNEW he was bipolar before she married him!
Bipolar is everything Kim says it is. Nonetheless, when you put yourself out there for the biggest office in the land and then go on a stage in front of all those people and then jump in a public format with millions of viewers, just maybe you should have thought it all out more.
Remember what they did to Lamar!!!
You are a good person for standing by him , Kim. People do not give you the credit you deserve for your good heart and intelligence
Get the fuck bent everyone is getting sick of the publicity stunts both of you continually pull! Your husband went to far and pissed off a lot of people now you want compassion for ur BRAND! Beat it you have enough money! GREED!
Keep him on his meds
Bipolarism is no joke my mother suffer from it and because of her suffering I suffered manic depression please get help as a little girl I do not understand what's going on with my mother and it could stunt my grow
No.
Nothing but prayers for everything you shouldn’t have to explain to the public. Praying Low life strangers speaking out of boredom does not affect your family ❤️
Then he shouldn't be allegedly running for president
Why give compassion? He’s giving media attention..... not the community... Compassions for people in the community who needs help not your mouth!
She damned if she does , damned if she don’t. Not one of us knows the full story so shouldn’t be passing judgement on her or him. There’s only so much help you can give to someone who don’t want it .
I understand the importance of mental health, but damn... why do I feel like Kim is commenting on recent events just to get publicity/stir things up/get people talking about her?
He didnt ask you to say anything
please... you people are disgrace. So are Kanye supporters. Come at me clowns.
The fake she’s worried about her man and she’s such a kind person bullshit. She married him for promotion and they have never lived together. Report that.
Trump supporters are mentally ill💯🤷♀️Just saying😂
bold Statement: I highly doubt Kanye has bi-polar disorder. I believe this to be a deliberate lie on his part or a gross and irresponsible misdiagnosis. She is at this point under coercive control from the day she met him. He is another one of these psychopaths.
Honestly we could use a break from the political bullshit right now, we may be better off without politicians,, lol
Who cares, when he was saying all derogatory things about African Americans what did you guys say.
Keep his ass off of social media and get him help. We've had to deal with his melt downs more that once. Enough already.
She got a new guy yet?
Many people have bipolar. There are medications from lithium to gabapentin. You can have bipolar but also be an egomaniac a jerk and a really mean moronic person. You cannot blame everything on bipolar all the time. He needs to take responsibility for his action.
The Kardashian Curse continues.
Girl please!!! The whole family is wicked and all about money. That's it!!! I haven't seen anything professional you women done but sell your body and sold makeup please
We can have compassion as long as she keeps him from being on stage n saying outrageous shit. He's a misogynist and hates black people, that's pretty clear. When you are rich, you demand unreasonable things. Personally, to me, he's not that smart nor talented. She can love him.
KimKardashian Thank you for speaking out! Mental health is not a joke and should be treated like any other disease, with compassion. 💜
We knew he was nuts
Y’all bold the strangest part of quotes lol
Sorry, you reap what you sow.
He has more! than just a bipolar diagnosis. He is not fit for becoming potus, nor is he politically experienced enough to run for potus. I’m sorry he has these issues, but running for such a position, is out of the question... period.
Why did she fail to ask for our compassion about Kanye being a jackass? That seems to explain just as much of his behavior as any mental health issue he may have.
Compassion and empathy are always a good call.
Just make sure he takes his meds. A good wife would do that.
So sad to hear. Prayers for your family.
Lord how many time they gonna go through this?
If he is struggling so much he should not be running for president
I'm bi-polar and I don't do this. This is a man on the verge of a mental breakdown. Get him help now.
Not even one ounce of sympathy for those 2 self absorbed pretentious phonies
THE MORE HE SHOULD NOT EVEN THINK OF RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT!! Can you imagine a BIPOLAR president? Look at Donald Trump now - and he’s not even diagnosed!
Finally KimWest_Private confirms what we have been saying for years - while we pray for KW to continue his successful life, we are not a mental hospital we are sending a leader to the White House - please keep KW I. His own mansion in bel air but not DC! No one wants him
Such a ridiculous family!
If he has any disorder, it’s because of her whole family If anything
He's running for president, obviously his mental health is important. See: POTUS
Stop covering this pair of clowns. If he is bipolar and going through things why didn't she and his handlers see to it that he's not out in public in Charleston making a spectacle of himself?
Let’s give her credit for releasing this well crafted letter that acknowledges his manic behavior while still respecting him personally. This is a tough situation for anyone dealing with mental illness in their immediate family.
Where was compassion for T Swift when y’all were trying to ruin her career?
Great woman!
New albumcomeing out nothing but grifters🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🖕🏾
All we ever asked was help for him.
Please nobody is seriously considering making this guy president
The Kardashians mess up all the men in their lives !
She has a good point, but she also has the money to get him help. Fighting 1 person to get help is easier than fighting millions to be less judgemental.
Like many creative types and geniuses Kanye suffers from bipolar disorder and depression. Unfortunately, such mental illnesses are associated with brilliance. Nietzsche, Einstein, Kanye, Elon, normal people live normal lives
This is a great way for her to get custody of her children!
No way did she write that!
I guess that explains his support of realDonaldTrump.
Or before his 5-min self-enthused President run?
They are headed for divorce
She said she love when he like in many interviews lest get our popcorn taylorswift13 watch him take down the KimKardashian and her fam
Taylor seeing all the Kim and Kanye mess on the news like 🤣😂🤣😂. Let this be a lesson that evil never wins in the end. TeamTaylor
kanyewest spoke the truth about abortion, pornography, anti depressants, God..it just doesn’t align with the leftist agenda, so they call him insane, I call him a super genius
lol remember when Kim shitting on her brother and his depression on her show for years! same shit with Lamar. None of them had any concerns for mental health until Kanye exposed them all.
Talk Dzarling...We are here
🎵🎵But you can't make a hoe a housewife🎵🎵
PLease read her statement. For those who understand bipolarism, my heart really goes out to her and Kanye. Twitter folk can be so uncaring and the cancel culture lacks grace.
rhianna_joseph This is so sad 😞
Cause you do you. Not a kanye fan but my god hes married into the wrong family.
Cute how when he talks about not wanting his daughter to be exploited by her family she speaks up. But when he’s having episodes and saying things that only tarnish his public reputation shes silent. I guess his mental illness only matters when her reputation is on the line.
Wish you wouldn’t post about this, it’s honestly so sad to watch. They all deserve privacy and respect. E News you want to keep up with the times? Start by respecting mental health issues
Why does she have to mention his mother dying ..now it seems his still a grieving adolescent..like seriously we understand the pain of ur parent dying but the way she's expressing is off for me..
Hes the one that needs a conservatorship not Britney!
Fucking finally.
Kanye just get help man
Get him back on his meds for gods sake. He’s looking a fool.
MillieSabrina
Why she talking like she ain't the one who fucked up his mental lmaoo
Care to comment on Meek? Kim belongs to the streets.
He doesnt have bipolar. He isnjust a little constipated.
