Kim Kardashian apologizes to family for how Kanye West treated her

If you’ve followed Kimye over the years, you know that Kanye West has at times publicly expressed his grievances to his now ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, throughout their seven-year marriage.

Before filing for divorce in February 2021, Kim was called out sporadically by Kanye, who has bipolar disorder. Perhaps the most notable case came during a series of tweets in 2020 in which he claimed she tried to force him into a psychiatric facility against his will.

He also publicly revealed some of his and Kim’s most personal and private information on stage at a political rally when he claimed they planned an abortion when the mogul was pregnant with their first child.

But Kanye not only spoke out against Kim, but also appeared to be at odds with her family, namely her mother, Kris Jenner. He branded the mother-daughter duo “white supremacists” and infamously called the matriarch “Kris Jong-Un” before sharing a screenshot of his texts with Kris asking her if she wanted to “go to war,” although she did not text him back.

Back then, Kim wholeheartedly defended Kanye, releasing a statement in July 2020 in which he spoke publicly about his bipolar disorder for the first time to help break the “stigma and misconceptions” surrounding mental health.

A few years earlier, she defended the rapper when he posted a series of tweets about his love for President Donald Trump. He continued to visit Trump at the White House while running his own presidential bid, which he later admitted had “embarrassed” Kim.

Now that Kim has split from Kanye — and entered a new relationship with Pete Davidson — it looks like she’s reflecting on the turbulent past marriage as openly as ever.

In the latest episode of the Hulu reality series The Kardashianswhich aired Wednesday night, Kim sat down with her family to address the way Kanye has treated her over the years.

In the episode, we see Kim host a small dinner party at her home to reconnect with her loved ones, including Khloé, Kendall, Kourtney and her then-fiancé Travis Barker, and Kris and her boyfriend Corey Gamble.

Kris tells Kim that she received a text message from her “girlfriend” warning her about the release of a new song by Kanye, which is a cause for concern as the rapper had started making himself public by the time the episode was filmed speak out against him Kim’s divorce.

He further referred to the mogul as his “wife” during an appearance. Beverage Champions podcast and claimed he “never saw” the legal papers while expressing his irritation at her for joking about the breakup during her Saturday night live Monologue in October.

Kim looks uncomfortable and says she got the message too, before reading it out loud to the group: “Kanye’s coming out with a new rap song.” She further speculates, “It means he’s talking crazy shit about me and probably whatever says.”

Khloé jumps in to defend her sister, telling Kim, “Most men don’t rip off their children’s mothers like that in public. We don’t have to sit here throwing back stones, we’ll take it by the chin.”

“You’re the mother of his kids,” Kris notes, adding that Kim “did nothing to Kanye but be awesome.” In a confessional, she continued: “When people say derogatory things about one of us, it hurts us all. Because one day your children will read everything and see everything. And that’s something that everyone really needs to be aware of.”

Meanwhile, Khloé tells Kim, “The truth always prevails.” Kendall agrees, adding, “Karma will always be on your side.”

However, Kim remains calm, assuring her mother and sisters that she will “never stoop to Kanye’s level.” “I think I’ll never stop being me,” she says. “I can only control how I react to something.”

And Kim goes on to address Kanye’s past dealings with not only her but her family members as well.

“I can’t control how he treats me or how he’s always treated you guys,” she says. “I’ve protected this for so long, but I said I’ll never let that happen to you guys again.”

Further commenting on Kanye’s past arguments with her family in a confessional, Kim admits, “I recognize the impact my relationship has had on my family and that I never had the opportunity to just say, ‘I’m sorry , People .'”

Kim continues to tell her family, “For once in my life I feel strong. I will not allow anyone to treat you like this – or myself.”

As we now know, in mid-January Kanye released a song titled “Eazy,” which contains a scathing reference to Kim’s boyfriend Pete. “God saved me from that crash / Just so I could smack Pete Davidson in the ass,” Ye raps.

He shared a series of videos in which he accused Kim of intentionally excluding him from her daughter Chicago’s fourth birthday party and claimed he was “not allowed to know” where the location was.

He later demanded an apology from “the entire family” and tagged all the Kardashian-Jenners in a hastily deleted Instagram post, urging everyone to “take responsibility” and stop “bullying” him.

And after Kanye also accused Kim of trying to “upset” him by letting her daughter North wear makeup on TikTok, the beauty mogul finally released a statement on her Instagram Story, in which he said because of his “constant Attacks” was called.

“Kanye’s constant attacks on me in interviews and on social media are actually more hurtful than any TikTok North could cause,” Kim wrote.

“I wanted nothing but a healthy and supportive coparenting relationship,” she added. “It saddens me that Kanye continues to make it impossible at every step.”
