Kanye 2020

See also: the current president

She's tried several times. However, you can't make someone seek help, they have to want to do it.  Unless he's a physical danger to himself or physical danger to others and they can get a judge to mandate treatment, nothing will happen.

I think after his crazy Twitter babble tonight we don’t have to worry about Kanye for Pres 2020 anymore.

I thought the exact same thing about your current president before the last election...

Ok, am I the only one who didn’t know there were four kids? That was a surprise to me. I lost track after the first two (North and Saint) and vaguely remembered another pregnancy, but Chicago and Psalm are news to me. Those names aren’t familiar at all.

Kim is not someone I typically have sympathy for, but knowing how mental health care is in our country, I can’t say I envy her right now. She is essentially helpless if he doesn’t want treatment. She can talk to doctors and bring doctors to him wherever he is vacationing in a fancy home, but until he is an immediate danger to himself or others or is unable to care for his basic needs, he has to voluntarily agree to treatment. Again, not a huge Kardashian sympathizer, but this has to be hard—trying to help her husband while trying to protect her four babies, especially with the public eye and news media watching.

I have sympathy for anybody who is a mom of 4 who has a husband that is very clearly battling mental illness. Seems as if she’s trying to help behind the scenes (per his tweets) but he won’t accept the help.

Say what you will about the Kardashian family, they are a very close family and have proven to be very protective of their own inner circle. I can’t imagine the stuff people are saying to her right now about her husband. Take the ‘celebrity’ out of it - replace it with any ‘normal’ family and everybody here would be super sympathetic.

Now he's saying on Twitter that he has been trying to divorce Kim for a while.
He really does seem to be going through a mental health crisis.

It's really sad. He's manic and delusional and it's playing out for the world to see. I feel very sorry for him and while I am anti-all things Kardashian, I feel very sorry for his wife too.

"“I been trying to get divorced since Kim met with Meek at the Warldolf [sic] for ‘prison reform,'” West wrote on Twitter early Wednesday.

West apparently was referring to a criminal justice summit attended by Kardashian and rapper Meek Mill in November 2018.

“Meek is my man and was respectful,” he added. “That’s my dog Kim was out of line.”

In the series of missives, West then referred to Jenner, his mother-in-law, as “Kris Jong-Un” and said that the Kardashians were attempting to force him into psychiatric treatment.

“They tried to fly in with 2 doctors to 51/50 me,” West said, referring to the California welfare code that says people who may be a danger to themselves can be placed in an involuntary hold.

“Kriss and Kim put out a statement without my approval … that’s not what a wife should do White supremacy.”"

Maybe Kim's marriage can serve as a cautionary tale on the dangers of using your celebrity to marry celebrity to make more celebrity to make more money. It's not always a cake walk. Who you marry and have kids w/isn't just a show. It's for keeps.

Didn't Kim have a marriage that lasted less than a month? If she was just doing this for celebrity and for 'show' you don't think she would have bailed out of this mess long ago? LOL

Here's what she said today:


"As many of you know, Kanye has bi-polar disorder," she began. "Anyone who has this or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand. 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," she said. "People who are unaware or far removed from this experience can be judgmental and not understand that the individual themselves have to engage in the process of getting help no matter how hard family and friends try."



"I understand Kanye is subject to criticism because he is a public figure and his actions at time can cause strong opinions and emotions," she continued. "He is a brilliant but complicated person who on top 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 sometimes 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 dreams have come true," she wrote. "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 the 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."

Kanye tweeted about never letting Kim let their kids be in Playboy - I'm not sure why he thought she would let their kids be in Playboy.

Does he mean he doesn't want them in there as minors? Totally agree w/the sentiment - wouldn't want my kids in Playboy either. But neither Kanye nor Kim nor you nor I get to control what our kids do as adults.

Interesting how these guys all don't want their kids to be in Playboy but they don't mind the nude pics and the sex tapes and the raunchy videos - as long as it's other people's kids. All those people in those pics/videos are SOMEBODY'S kids.

The statement put out by Kim was really the best possible statement.

But there's a part of me that wouldn't mind it if the Kardashian/Jenner family take a big hit and we see less and less of them.

I’m not a Kardashian fan but this comment really bothers me. The men are all innocent and we are blaming the women? Lamar didn’t ruin his life by his drug use and desire for prostitutes? We are pinning that on his wife/ex wife?

I think this was said b/c he's blaming Kris for Kim being in Playboy (if she was?) and that original sex tape getting leaked...essentially implying she pimped her out. He's defending Kim in a warbled way as being a good / better mom to their kids than Kris is/was. I think.
