Wishing them all the best…

After days of numerous public outbursts, Kim Kardashian has finally released a statement on her husband Kanye West’s mental health. The move comes after West broke down in tears at his recent rally for president, where he went into detail about his wanting to abort one of his children, as well as a now-deleted Twitter tirade where he took countless shots at Kim/ the Kardashian family, stating that they tried to have him “locked up” by doctors.

Since the whole fiasco, West has been living on his Wyoming property, reportedly putting the finishing touches on his new album Donda, set to be released this Friday. He hasn’t been alone however, with numerous visitors such as comedy legend Dave Chapelle flying in to visit the Chicago MC.

Posting to her social medias, Kim wrote “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. 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.”

The statement also sees her addressing the stigma around mental health, along with the fact that the Kardashian family is relatively helpless to making Kanye get the help he needs, since he’s not a minor. However, she ends the statement by asking the media & public for “compassion and empathy that is needed to get through this”. thanking those who have expressed concern for her husband’s wellbeing.

It’s definitely an important & sobering read, check out the full statement below.
