You might assume that Kanye West has been somewhat subdued following recent incidents involving his erratic and concerning behavior. One person distancing herself from these events is Kim Kardashian, the mother of West’s children, and yet, the responsibility of co-parenting ties her to the controversial rapper.
Judging from a recent episode of ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians,’ this situation isn’t sitting well with her. Kim shared a revealing conversation with her mother, indicating that Kanye’s current affairs could trigger a massive scandal if known to the public.
Kim strives to maintain her calm, but there are moments when she wishes she wasn’t entangled in this situation. For years, the reality star supported Kanye amidst his self-inflicted issues. However, their divorce gave her the perspective to distance herself from him.
Despite this, Kim remains concerned for Kanye, largely for the sake of their children. The discussion with her mother on the show highlights the challenges of dealing with someone battling mental health issues. While Kanye appears to be managing his romantic and financial life, Kim suggested that his issues escalate.

But, unfortunately, I don’t have the energy for that anymore.
