American media personality, socialite and businesswoman Kim Kardashian has opened up about the end of her marriage to Kanye West, saying the relationship could be “toxic” at times.
Speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast in an episode released Wednesday, Kardashian said her marriage to West, who now goes by Ye, reached a point where there was a “lack of stability” that made her feel insecure.
“There were a lot of things I wouldn’t deal with,” she said of her relationship with the rapper and fashion designer.
“I didn’t like the feeling of…someone talking bad about my kids’ grandma and aunts,” Kardashian added, referring to her mother Kris Jenner and her sisters Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie.
“If someone feels that way, then we shouldn’t be together,” he said.
The two married in 2014 in a lavish ceremony in Italy and Kardashian filed for divorce in 2021.
Kardashian said she remembered “just not feeling safe, not even physically, but emotionally or even, you know, financially.”
He recalled times when West, who spoke of being diagnosed with bipolar disorder and later autism, gave away the couple’s five Lamborghinis during mental health episodes.
“I didn’t know… what you’re going to find when you wake up,” he said. “And that’s like a really unsettling feeling.”
“The lack of stability was a big problem,” added Kardashian, who said she tried to support West but ultimately became frustrated.
“I think when someone has their first mental break, you know, you want to be very supportive and you want to help them figure it out and you really want to address that with them and be there for them,” she said.
“But I think… when someone is not willing to make changes that I think would be super healthy and beneficial, it makes it very difficult to continue in a relationship that can be toxic,” added Kardashian, who said she thought carefully about how leaving West would affect her four children North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm.
“You really have to take your time and wait and see if there will be changes. But once you get to a point where you feel like it’s not going to change or get better, then you have to make… some serious decisions about what you’re going to do,” he said. “And that’s a really hard reality to face, you know?”
