Kim Kardashian Addresses Kanye West’s Bipolar Disorder
Kim Kardashian Issues Statement On Kanye West’s Bi-Polar Disorder On Her Instagram Story
Kanye West set the internet ablaze with series of Tweets directed at his wife Kim Kardashian and her mother Kris Jenner. His meltdown has been worrisome and folks online wasted no time in trending #PrayForYe on Twitter.
In his recent controversial tweets which has since been deleted, he revealed that he’s wanted divorce Kim Kardashian since she met with Meek Mill at the Warldolf for prison reform.
The tweet quickly went viral sparking rumor on an entanglement between Meek Mill and Kim Kardashian. He also shaded Kris Jenner, calling her “Kris Jong-Un,” then added that Lil Baby is his favorite rapper but the Atlanta rapper won’t do song with him.
Just in time, Kim Kardashian has issued a statement on her husband’s breakdown. “As many of you know, Kanye has bi-polar disorder. Anyone who has this or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand,” she wrote on her Instagram story.
“I’ve never spoken publicly about how this has affected us at home because I am very protective of our children and Kanye’s right to privacy when it comes to his health. But today, I feel like I should comment on it because of the stigma and misconceptions about mental health.”
“Those that understand mental illness or even compulsive behavior know that the family is powerless unless the member is a minor. People who are unaware or far removed from this experience can be judgmental and not understand the the individual themselves have to engage in the process of getting help no matter how hard family and friends try.”
She continued, “I understand Kanye is subject to criticism because he is a public figure and his actions at time can cause strong opinions and emotions. He is a brilliant but complicated person who on top of the pressures of being an artist and a black man, who experienced the painful loss of his mother, and has to deal with the pressure and isolation that is heightened by his bi-polar disorder. Those who are close with Kanye know his heart and understand his words some times do not align with his intentions.”
Living with bi-polar disorder does not diminish or invalidate his dreams and his creative ideas, no matter how big or unobtainable they may feel to some. That is part of his genius and as we have all witnessed, many of his big dreams have come true.
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. I kindly ask that the media and public give us the compassion and empathy that is needed so that we can get through this. Thank you for those who have expressed concern for Kanye’s well being and for your understanding.
With Love and Gratitude,
Kim Kardashian West”
