Kanye West EXPOSES Kim Kardashian For HARASSING Him

Not only the fans were shocked, but everyone’s jaw dropped when Kim decided to divorce Kanye West. After everything that they got—all the perks and privileges that Kanye shared to Kim and her family, people really thought that they would never let go of him and would always want him to be part of their clan. But that is obviously not the case anymore as Kanye and Kim have been coming for each other ever since the divorce.

We all know how Kanye can go overboard most of the time, but Kim is not backing without giving a fight. Apparently, Kim had a fair share of shading Kanye as well. I mean, anyone who would be in Kim’s position would flipKanye said all those foul words and issues against her. But since the Kar-Jenners are trying to portray their characters, their attacks towards their enemies are often subtle.

Kanye West Harassing Kim Kardashian Is No Laughing Matter

His actions are dismissed as the antics of an eccentric genius, but public stalking of an ex and their current partner amounts to violence.

I’ll admit, I laughed at first. The Civil War poster meme with Kanye West’s and Pete Davidson’s faces photoshopped in was funny. The context you need to know is that Kanye West, rapper, and ex–husband of Kim Kardashian West, is lamenting his separation from her in the most public way possible. He’s also taking his frustration out on Kardashian’s current partner, comedian Pete Davidson.

It began with similar–tier memes joking about him facing off with Pete Davidson. Then there were the personal attacks on Davidson that he began — implying that Davidson was not worthy of Kardashian. Every day was a new headline-making antic from him: beefing with people who associated with Davidson, praying for Kim to “come home,” publicly asking for her back, publicly bashing Davidson again.

But gradually, what began as an amusing series of events escalated. West began showing up to events uninvited. He allegedly sent a truck full of roses to Kim’s house. And most recently, he posted screenshots of private chats between them: notably, one where Kim Kardashian asked him to stop “creating a dangerous environment,” adding that should he continue, Davidson would get hurt.

To be clear, these are the actions of an abuser. Many took to social media to express increasing concern over West’s behavior, noting that the same was concerning/worrying and would give domestic violence lawyers enough to go on. When we laughed at first, it may have been because it is amusing to watch a superstar debase themselves publicly after heartbreak. What’s less funny is when they threaten, stalk, harass, and intimidate their ex in the name of passion and self-expression. To continue to laugh at this would be to trivialize such behavior which, if exhibited by a less famous man against a less famous ex, could turn out to have real, fateful consequences.

And yet, West’s behavior goes unchecked — even excused as the behavior of someone who is mentally ill. Not only is this stigmatizing to people with mental illnesses, but it also perpetuates the notion that mental illness is a justification to behave in unscrupulous ways. West has since deleted all his social media posts and made a single statement about “better communication.”

But he continues to be fondly enabled by fans and non-fans alike, as an eccentric genius. “The fact that their behavior either boosted their talent, or helped them find their moral center, or led them to understand that they had messed up priorities, to begin with, don’t seem like good enough excuses… What about the people they traumatized along the way?” wrote Devrupa Rakshitfor The Swaddle, last year, on the trope of the genius artist who is allowed to be a jerk.

Moreover, normalizing violence like this because it is directed against Kim Kardashian, a polarizing media figure, can inadvertently further the notion that some people “deserve” it or can “take it.” But this fosters unconditional solidarity against abusive behavior.

Even if “Kimye” were a “power couple” before, they’re currently embroiled in a conflict that involves their respective fans. Kanye West, for his part, has created an ecosystem in which fan-made memes are posted on his account to further make light of his harassment, portraying it as just a man in love trying to win his former wife back.
