The reasons for the divorce of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
They say that most married people go through the seven-year itch, a crisis from which they may or may not get away with it. Everything seems to indicate that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West did not resist theirs. This week, the heart press announced that the couple's divorce - they got engaged in 2013 and married in 2014 - is imminent. It is already emerging as one of the highest grossing separations, since more than 2 billion dollars are at stake. He has a fortune of 1.3 billion dollars and she follows him closely with 900 million.
In addition, it is taken for granted that they will fight tooth and nail for the custody of their four children: North, 7; Saint, 5; Chicago, 2, and Salm, 1. Given their popularity, neither of them will want to be left in this marital fight as the baddie of the ride. Although all relationships have ups and downs from the beginning, the real problems in the West's paradise began in 2020.
In July, he made the decision to run for president of the United States, a surprise move that turned into a national ridicule. In one of his public demonstrations, the artist shaved himself to write the number 2020 on his head and in subsequent statements he had a false start: he revealed that he and Kim had thought about aborting his firstborn, North. He also criticized Harriet Tubman, a hero in the Afro-descendant community for the role she played in the fight against slavery in the 19th century. Later, he wrote in a tweet that Kim wanted to lock him up in a hospital, claiming mental problems, that he wanted to divorce her because he had had an extramarital affair with another rapper and that he called his mother-in-law, Kris Jenner, Kris Jung Un, with which suggested that he resembled the North Korean dictator.
Kim, to give context to the erratic behavior of her husband, decided to write a long tweet in which she revealed that he suffered from bipolar disorder and that at that moment he was going through a crisis. The storm passed and the couple celebrated her 40th birthday in October, which included a party with hers closest to hers on a private island that cost a million dollars. But soon the happiness turned to bitterness, and the paparazzi captured Kim crying with her lens in the middle of a strong fight with her husband on his ranch. For more than two weeks, she has not worn the million-dollar engagement ring he gave her, nor has she seen West at the Kardashian family end-of-the-year festivities.
It has also come to light that they were in couples therapy this year and the possibility of divorce was on the table. Both Kim and Kanye seem tired of the relationship. She, due to the ups and downs of her personality disorder, which she defined as a complicated and painful condition; and him, because the Kardashians made him feel like a madman pretending to force him into psychiatric treatment.
According to sources close to the couple, Kim has already had conversations with Laura Wasser, a celebrity divorce expert, who handled the case of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Kim is not a rookie on the subject and this would be her third divorce. She was separated from Damon Thomas at the age of four due to physical abuse, and from the basketball player Kris Humphries, at 72 days of marriage. What is expected now is that she will take advantage of her divorce from Kanye to boost the rating of her reality show, which this year reaches the final season. After all, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians series has taken it all: the gender change of Bruce Jenner, Kim's stepfather, the cheating, divorces and all other eccentricities of the sisters.
In any case, it is still incredible that a clan of very little carrot women, whose only hook is being famous, has been able to hold the interest of the entire planet for 12 years, making them one of the billionaire families in the United States.
