Kim Kardashian West has opened up for the first time about her husband Kanye West’s bipolar disorder after the rapper posted and deleted a string of erratic tweets regarding his family life following the launch of his presidential campaign in Charleston, South Carolina, Monday.
“Those who are close with Kanye know his heart and understand his words sometimes do not align with his intentions,” she wrote on her Instagram page Wednesday.
Rapper Kanye West had got Twitter buzzing, after he wrote in a series of now deleted tweets that he had wanted to divorce his wife Kim Kardashian, and that she has been trying to have him locked up on ‘medical grounds’.
“I been trying to get divorced since Kim met with Meek at the Warldolf for prison reform,” West wrote in the message, without elaborating further.
Late Monday, West had posted a series of tweets, which were also later deleted, claiming his wife was trying to have him locked up on medical grounds and comparing himself to Nelson Mandela.
Those came a day after West launched his US presidential campaign with a rambling rally in Charleston, South Carolina.
At that event, he tearfully referenced a decision he said he made with wife Kim Kardashian not to abort a pregnancy.
“Kim was trying to fly to Wyoming with a doctor to lock me up like on the movie Get Out because I cried about saving my daughters life yesterday,” West said in one of the tweets that was later deleted.”If I get locked up like Mandela Ya’ll will know why,” he wrote in another deleted tweet.
In other tweets, later deleted, West appealed directly to Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, to contact him at his ranch in Wyoming.
In response to a tweet asking him to “Save Kanye”, Tesla Inc Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk tweeted: “We talked about an hour ago. He seems fine.”
Commenting on the memes that West’s erratic tweets (now deleted) had generated, Kardashian West said: “I understand Kanye is subject to criticism because he is a public figure and his actions at times 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 bipolar disorder.”
Here are some Twitter reactions:
I’m not surprised that Kanye West speculates that Kim Kardashian cheated on him with Meek Mill.
I’m not surprised that he has been wanting a divorce.
I am surprised that Lil Baby is Kanye’s favorite rapper.@thoughtfulbae.
In a series of now deleted tweets, Kanye West reveals that he has been trying to divorce Kim Kardashian since she met Meek Mill to discuss “prison reform” at the Waldorf hotel. @PopCrave.
Kim Kardashian and Meek Mill had an entanglement?@Instablog.
When Kanye was getting married to Kim Kardashian. He should have known what he’s getting himself into from a person that got famous for f@$king Ray J.
This goes to show that you can’t change a person be it through Christ or through Cruise. Our next generation go see and saw😑@IamIsaacEddie.
Kanye is also suggesting Kim got ran by drake too. He’s going through a lot and doesn’t know how to talk about it or who to trust so he just posts and deletes.@Gerald_yea.
