I wondered why Kanye West was trending lately; I already knew about his thing with Billie Eilish and being threatened by younger, successful white women.
But his behavior recently concerning his estranged wife Kim Kardashian and her boyfriend Pete Davidson makes me wonder if he’s going to pull an OJ.
Seriously, she needs to get a restraining order against this lunatic.
God, I miss Obama. He’s so funny.
From Feminist News on Facebook:
When the news of Kanye purchasing a house across the street from Kim hit, I honestly thought nothing of it. In today’s world of co-parenting, many parents who choose to separate often live close together in an effort to maintain a more cohesive front. It was not strange to me. In fact, it would fall in line with the way the Kardashian’s have co-parented with their children’s fathers.
I commend Kanye for wanting to be present in the lives of his children, and through what we can see from the outside looking in, he has always seemed to be a present involved parent.
That’s where the praise ends.
What Kanye is displaying now is disturbing and concerning.
While I won’t speculate on any sort of mental health condition, nor will I blame his behaviors on one as mental health is not an excuse for abuse.
Abuse does not always involve hitting or threatening to hit someone. Abuse comes in many forms, and the world is witnessing abusive behavior in real time. Bombarding someone with grand gestures when they’ve asked you to leave them alone is a form of harassment. Attempting to sabotage a former partner’s relationship because you want them back is abusive. Sharing private conversations publicly, especially after they’ve asked you not to is abusive.
This is not some love story where a guy goes to his ex-girlfriends house holding a boom box on top of his head in an effort to show how much he loves her. This is a display of mental and emotional abuse in an effort to force someone back into a relationship.
This is not OK.
This is not normal.
This is not entertainment.
This is a man who has endless amounts of money and influence, which afford him the means to publicly abuse his estranged wife in front of the world.
The way you feel about Kim Kardashian should not matter.
No one deserves to be abused.
No one deserves to be publicly humiliated.
No one deserves to be treated the way she is being treated.
What we could very well be witnessing is the escalation phase before a violent act.
Victims of domestic violence know this escalation well, and this is likely not only triggering for them, but terrifying.
If you’ve experienced domestic violence and this display of abuse is triggering for you, I’m sorry.
I’m so sorry you have to relive your trauma through watching this unfold.
I’m so sorry that you may not feel safe witnessing this.
You are worthy of so much more and deserve to feel safe in your own home scrolling through your social media feeds.
Please step away from the internet.
Please take care of you.
Please protect your peace and respect your boundaries.
Kanye bought a fuckin’ house across the street from her? Leave her the fuck alone, already. She doesn’t want you around.
Kanye’s behavior reminds me of people I know who not only have personality traits that make them pretty unpleasant people BUT also significant mental illness. Bad combo.
With Kanye you always have to ask yourself whether any given example of out ragious behavior is because he is a mentally ill narcissist with poor impulse control, or whether he just realizes that behaving like a mentally ill narcissist with poor impulse control gets him media attention, and finally whether it makes a difference.
In general I think the answer to the last question is no, but when it comes to committing serious crimes such as those suggested in the OP if its mostly an act he will likely toe the edge but stay clear of something truly catastrophic. If not, then …
In any case I agree, restraining seems in order.
The dude just announced that his new album will be available exclusively on an mp3 player that costs $200 and has no screen and only 8 GB of storage, so I’m going with the former.
I remember one douchebag on the Jeopardy college tournament years ago who was into fashion design (NOT why he was a douchebag) and Kanye West was his muse. This was after the Taylor Swift thing, so Kanye was working on getting his own douchebag rep. The same douchebag told Alex that he left the tag attached to his college sweatshirt so he could return it to the bookstore after the tournament was over (cheap douchebag) and basically acted like a douche for as long as he was on. I decided anyone so beloved by a douchebag had to be a douchebag and a half, and Kanye West sure fit the bill.
Now he’s a creepy, stalker douchebag. I hope Kim and her family will be safe. No one deserves that.
This is where I would invoke this sage advice: “Don’t get mad. Get even.”
I’d document all his crap, get a light’s out legal team, and sue him for everything he’s got. I’d milk him like a bloated cow. 
That’s what the tabloids and talk shows are hoping for, I’m sure.
Maybe he’ll get to meet them one day.
Hope it doesn’t involve anything more serious than property damage for his targets.
I endorse the concerns of the OP.
Meanwhile, I noted that Kanye (who, in fact, has legally changed his name to Ye) refers to Pete Davidson as “Skeet” in his text messages to Kim.
Can anybody explain that reference? Or is it just a pejorative moniker?
(Am I ashamed at knowing this? Yeah, a little…)
@Moriarty no inside knowledge but one does shoot skeet.
Which might explain why it’s apparently slang for sperm. But was that what Ye was going for?
I thought it was because he reminded him of Skeet Ulrich somehow.
I dunno, it’s Kanye.
Ahem.
He’s still Kanye. I never called Prince by the symbol either.
(Not that I’m comparing the two. Prince was awesome.)
Well, sure.
But that’s because you can’t.
Unless there’s something definitive, I would have assumed that, given the spelling, the “ete” part comes from “Pete”. I can imagine him trying to get under Kim’s skin by referring to him as “Sketchy Pete” or “Scumbag Pete” or something, shortened at some stage as a private “joke” that’s she’s aware of.
Skinny Pete? Like on Breaking Bad.
