Kanye West and Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian is once again touching on her divorce from Kanye West, saying that his mental health struggles during their marriage and supposed unwillingness to get help caused their separation.
Kardashian, 44, touched on the dark periods of their marriage and ultimate divorce during an appearance on the October 15 episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, E! News reported.
“There was just a lot of things that I wouldn’t deal with,” the billionaire socialite and businesswoman revealed. “I didn’t like the feeling of someone talking bad about my kids’ grandmother, aunts—all of those feelings. If someone feels that way, then we shouldn’t be together.”
Kardashian and Kanye, 48, tied the knot in 2014 before she filed for divorce in 2021. Kanye previously disclosed that he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2016, before later claiming that he had been misdiagnosed.
Kardashian, on the podcast, touched on one of Kanye’s mental health episodes, saying that he once gave away their five Lamborghini vehicles to his friends.
“I’d come home and they’d all be gone,” she disclosed. “Then I’d come home again and at a different point, we’d have five more Lamborghinis and then I’d wake up in another episode and they’d all be gone again.”
“I didn’t know what you’re going to get when you wake up and that’s a really unsettling feeling,” she continued before saying that the “lack of stability was a big thing.”
Kardashian also stated that Kanye’s actions during those periods made her feel unsafe. “Not even physically, just like maybe emotionally or even, you know, financially,” she said.
The 44-year-old, who shares two daughters and two sons with Kanye, said that the rapper and fashion designer’s mental health struggles during their marriage ultimately took a toll on her.
“You want to be super supportive and you want to help figure that out,” Kardashian said, per E! News. “But when someone isn’t willing to make changes that would be super healthy and beneficial, it makes it really hard to continue on in a relationship that can be toxic.”
Kardashian also made mention of their kids, stating that when the young ones come into the picture when there are issues of such nature, it’s “definitely harder to leave than it is to stay.” “It changes everyone’s life forever. You really have to take your time and wait and see if there’ll be changes,” she continued.
She, however, emphasized that “once you get to a place where you feel like it’s not going to change or get better, then you have to make some serious choices on what you’re going to do.” She added: “That’s a really hard reality to face.”
Despite being put in that position, Kardashian said her children were the driving force behind her decision to part ways with their father.
“I had to save myself in order to be a better mom for everyone,” she said. “I think when everyone’s older, they’ll be able to understand it and see that all.”
