Kim Kardashian Breaks Silence on Kanye West
Kim Kardashian has broken her silence after her husband, Kanye West, seemingly went through a manic episode recently.
The “Heartless” rapper sparked concern among fans after a shambolic display during his first presidential campaign in South Carolina last Sunday, 19 July. The next day, he embarked on an hour-long Twitter rant directed at several public figures, including his wife.
On Wednesday, 22 July, Kardashian – who married West in 2014 – released a statement, in which she called for “compassion and empathy” for her husband.
She wrote: “As many of you know, Kanye has bi-polar [sic] disorder. Anyone who has this or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how complicated and painful it is to understand.”
Noting that West is a divisive public figure, Kardashian highlighted that the “pressure and isolation” he experiences are heightened by his condition, leading to his manic episodes.
She concluded: “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 most.”
