Kim Kardashian has spoken up about her divorce from Kanye West, stating that their marriage was “toxic” at times. In a Wednesday episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Kardashian claimed that her marriage to West—who has now changed his name to Ye—had reached a stage where there was a “lack of stability” that made her feel insecure.
Regarding her relationship with the contentious rapper and fashion designer, she stated, “There were just a lot of things that I wouldn’t deal with.” Kardashian continued, referring to her mother Kris Kardashian and sisters Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall, and Kylie, by saying, “I didn’t like the feeling of… someone talking bad about my kids’ grandmother, aunts.”
“You know, we shouldn’t be together if someone feels that way,” she stated. In 2014, the couple wed in an extravagant wedding in Italy. In 2021, Kardashian filed for divorce. “Just not feeling safe, not even physically, just like maybe emotionally or even, you know, financially,” Kardashian recalled.
West, who has talked about having bipolar disorder and then autism, gave away the couple’s five Lamborghinis on a few times during mental health problems, she recounted. “And that’s like a really unsettling feeling,” she said, adding, “I didn’t know… what you’re going to get when you wake up.”
Kardashian went on to say, “Lack of stability was a big thing.” She also talked about how she first tried to help West but got upset. “I think you want to be really supportive and help them figure that out, and you want to really get into that with them and be there for them when they have like their first mental break,” she said.
Kardashian added, “But I think that… when someone isn’t willing to make changes that I think would be super healthy and beneficial, it makes it really hard to continue on in a relationship that can be toxic.” She recalled considering the impact of leaving West on the couple’s four children, North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.
“It’s imperative that you wait patiently to see whether anything changes. She said, “And that’s like a really hard reality to face, you know?” “But 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.”
