Kim Kardashian has disclosed what really initiated her to file for divorce from Kanye West following the eight years of marriage life. In Wednesday’s episode of “Call Her Daddy”, host Alex Cooper asked her about the “final straw” in regard to their relationship.
“There was just a lot of things that I wouldn’t deal with,” Kardashian stated. “I didn’t like the feeling of someone talking bad about my kids, grandmother, aunts, all of those feelings.” She mentioned, “If someone feels that way, then we shouldn’t be together. Airing out a lot of personal stuff,” referring to West stating she had considered abortion in their initial pregnancy.
Emotional and Financial Challenges
Kardashian also noted “not feeling safe emotionally and financially” as a significant reason for reconsidering their relationship. She recalled instances when she “would come home and [they] would have five Lamborghinis” only to discover the next day that “they would be gone when he was in an episode.” Kardashian remembered that West offered them away “to all of his friends” before it occurred again. “You never know what you’re going to get when you wake up, and that’s a really unsettling feeling,” she cited. “Lack of stability was a big thing.”Career Growth
She stated the fears of getting excluded from the fashion and art world West had introduced her to, but mentioned, “Some of [her] biggest projects came about after [she] made that decision.” Kardashian added, “It was the universe rewarding me and showing me that I was moving in the right direction. And I think that’s like a really important, powerful thing to pay attention to the signs and pay attention to life and what happens and how you can be guided to make really good decisions, but I have no regrets.” She also celebrated her children, noting, “I have four amazing, beautiful babies.”Kardashian’s decision to divorce was also impacted by her wish to be a good example for their four kids: North, 12; Saint, 9; Chicago, 7; and Psalm, 6. “Once my mental health starts to get affected and I can’t parent the way I need to and I can’t be present or focused, there’s got to be one of us that can,” she cited. “I had to save myself to be a better mom, and I think that when everyone’s older, they’ll be able to see it and understand it all.”
Public Struggles
The concerns in their marriage were spotted on Keeping Up With the Kardashians and West’s documentary In Whose Name? In a scene, Kardashian broke down as West cited that he had ceased taking medication: “Your personality was not like this a few years ago,” she sobbed. West, diagnosed with bipolar disorder and then claiming to be autistic, also asserted with Kardashian’s mom, Kris Jenner: “Y’all demasculated me and made me feel like a piece of s–t. And the only reason you got away with it is because I was medicated. No one from the family is taking any responsibility for my hospital visit, but if you wanna go online that’s 50 percent of what people say. At least. Am I lying?” When Jenner responded, “it doesn’t matter,” West screamed, “It does matter!” repeatedly, even as she cited that she hadn’t “finished a sentence.” Jenner mentioned, “It matters to us and you. It doesn’t matter what the internet says. It matters what we think, Ye.”Marriage Timeline
