Kim Kardashian Says Her Family Is 'Powerless' Against Kanye West | 22 Words

Kim Kardashian has spoken out about Kanye's erratic behavior, and she even spoke about how her family is "powerless" against him.

It seems that the hopeful presidential candidate is in serious need of some help...

Kim Kardashian has finally spoken out.

Over the weekend, her husband, wannabe President Kanye West, hosted his first campaign rally and, let's just say, he revealed many highly personal details regarding their marriage.

And, to make things even worse...

Kanye went off on an alarming and rambling Twitter rant in the aftermath of his rally, where he claimed a lot of detrimental things about his wife and her family.

Now, Kanye has been a part of the infamous Kardashian family since 2011...

He and Kim married in Italy in 2014, and they have since had 4 children together - North, Chicago, Saint, and Psalm.

What do you think of this picture for America's next First Family?

But, putting the glitz and the glamor to one side, Kanye hasn't been without his issues.

Where do we begin when it comes to Kanye's erratic behavior?

Kanye has never been afraid of letting his opinion be known and, throughout the years, he has been in and out of the headlines for his strange and eye-opening antics.

But there was a heartbreaking explanation for these particular behaviors...

Last year, Kanye opened up about his battles with mental illness. He revealed that, in 2014, he was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, 2 years before he suffered his highly-publicized nervous breakdown in 2016, which was likely triggered by the anniversary of his mother's death.

Kanye has come a long way in his battle...

And he has been using his platform to help break down the stigma surrounding mental health issues.

But his most recent announcement stirred up the concern once more...

Because, earlier this month, he suddenly revealed that he would be running for president.

Now, in the last couple of years, Kanye has been dabbling in and out of the world of American politics.

Back in 2018, Kanye, who is an avid Trump supporter, sat down with the president in the Oval Office where he proclaimed his support and declared Trump a “hero" in a bizarre, rambling televised monologue that spawned myriad parodies.

But, on July 4th, he took things to the next level.

Taking to Twitter, Kanye wrote: "We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision, and building our future. I am running for president of the United States! #2020Vision."

Despite teasing the idea for years...

Nobody ever thought that he'd actually do it. Also, what happened to having an education and experience in politics before you could even think about being president?

But this is America 2020, and anything can happen...

Granted you have millions of dollars and a handful of powerful friends, that is.

But, regardless of the haters, the rapper has been deadset on his "2020 vision"...

And, over the weekend, he hosted his first-ever campaign rally.

However, his campaign proved to be an extremely chaotic and alarming experience.

Kanye, who was clad in a bullet-proof vest with the numbers "2020" shaved into his head, threw his rally in Charleston, South Carolina, where he seemed to whip up various policy decisions right there on the spot.

And amongst many other problematic things, he completely humiliated his wife throughout it.

People couldn't believe what they were hearing.

Because in case you haven't already heard...

Kanye revealed some very private details about his family life.

He disclosed how he and Kim had discussed the possibility of abortion when she found out she was pregnant with North...

And, even though it is more than likely that Kim did not give her permission to Kanye to disclose this private information, he didn't seem to care.

Through tears, Kanye ranted:

"Then she said, 'I'm pregnant.' I said, 'Yes!' Then I said, 'No.' I gotta tell you what was in my mind. She was crying. She said she was pregnant, and for one month, and two months, and three months, we talked about her not having this child. She had the pills in her hand. When you take the pills, and if you take it, the baby's gone."

He acknowledged that Kim may file for divorce following his revelation...

But, again, he didn't seem to care. "So even if my wife were to divorce me after this speech, she brought North into the world, even when I didn't want to. She stood up, and she protected that child."

Kanye was crying so hard, it was difficult to understand what he was saying...

The man is clearly in a lot of pain which arises so much concern about him running for president.

Kanye didn't stop there, however.

Kanye went on a horrendous Twitter rant in which he insulted his wife and in turn, his kids. He even tweeted about Drake and Shia... as in Shia Le Boeuf?

The tweets have since been deleted but were screenshotted by fans who reposted them.

And honestly, "shocking" isn't even the word to describe what he said.

Firstly, he started off by referring to an alleged incident with Anna Wintour...

In which he said the fashion mogul was "kissing his ass." And literally minutes later, he told us that "Kim tried to lock me up with a doctor."

He then went onto post a photograph of his kids and a Playboy shoot.

Kanye wrote this: "West children will never do Playboy... West."

But he continued...

Firstly, he refers to his own wife as "North's mom," which is shocking enough already and then talks about her sex tape, calling it a "sex rape."

He then threatened momager, Kris Jenner, in another tweet.

He urged her "not to play with him" which is a direct translation of "don't test me." He also wrote that she's not allowed around his kids anymore because she tried to "lock him up."

But, even after all of that, Kanye carried on.

The dust had barely settled on that catastrophic tweets he posted earlier this week, when he took to Twitter again.

His allegations, once again, turned to his wife and mother-in-law.

He branded both Kim and Kris as white supremacists, after claiming that the pair put out a statement without his approval first.

He then went to say that he's been trying to divorce Kim for 2 years in the since-deleted tweets.

"I been trying to get divorced since Kim met with Meek at the Waldorf for 'prison reform.' "I got 200 more to go. This my lady tweet of the night … Kris Jong-Un. Lil Baby my favorite rapper but won’t do a song wit me," he added.

He continued to slam his wife:

"Meek is my man and was respectful. That’s my dog. Kim was out of line. I’m worth 5 billion dollars and more than that through Christ. But ya’ll ain’t listen to MJ and now ya’ll believe them???"

But finally, after 3 days of silence across all of her social platforms, Kim has spoken out.

Taking to her Facebook and Instagram stories yesterday, the reality star released a lengthy statement.

Her statement started like this:

"As most of you will know, Kanye has bipolar disorder. As anyone who has this or a loved one in their life does, knows how incredibly complicated it is to understand." She then discussed how, in the past, she has respected Kanye's privacy regarding his disorder, and has remained silent in an attempt to protect her children.

She then went on to discuss her husband's complex, yet "brilliant" personality.

"Living with bipolar disorder does not diminish or invalidate his dreams and his creative ideas, no matter how big or unobtainable they may seem. This is a part of his genius, and as we have all witnessed, many of his big dreams come true."

She then went on to urge people to be more aware of mental health issues in our society...

And thanked everyone so far for being so supportive and concerning for Kanye's health and wellbeing.

But the one thing about Kim's statement that really stood out for fans was when she described her family as being "powerless" against Kanye.

"Those that understand mental illness or even compulsive behavior know that the family is powerless unless the member is a minor," she said.

This must be such a difficult time for Kim and her family...

And fans have been expressing sympathy for the reality star for dealing with such a difficult illness.

People who suffer from bipolar or have family members who are diagnosed with the illness have spoken out...

And they have outlined just how hard it is to live a normal life and it really isn't something that money can fix.

And when people accused Kim of "not keeping her husband on his medication"...

This Twitter user pointed out that it's almost impossible to force a person with bipolar to take their medication.

Even though Kim still has her fair share of haters...

People are pleased with her for speaking out about her husband's mental illness and the fact that she has refused to stigmatize it is highly empowering.

Get well soon, Kanye.

We hope the rapper will take the time off that he so desperately needs.
