Does anyone have any opinion on why Kanye West keeps taking his wife out places naked?

I don’t believe it’s her idea. He has often declared the women he has dated and married as his ‘muse’, so my assumption will be that he is behind it.

It’s bothering me on so many levels. There’s the worry it is part of an abusive/coercive relationship that’s just happening in plain sight. Because he is wealthy then it is fine, whereas the truth might be she needs help.

There’s the worry from a feminist angle that he might be trying to prove that all women are no better than prostitutes. He seemed to be furious when his ex wife dressed provocatively and yet us happy for his new wife to be constantly naked or partially clothed wearing sex clothes.

Then there’s the racial thoughts that I have. Would he be doing this to a an American black woman and get no negative commentary? I honestly don’t think so. I think they’d be a huge backlash if he was walking around with a black woman in gimp masks and naked under rain macs. It’s interesting to me that the women he likes to humiliate are light skinned. He calls them ‘cream of wheat’. Again is part of the thrill the humiliation? I don’t know. But every time I see another set of photos of him completely covered from head to toe and her naked it makes me feel very uneasy.

He is a very mentally unwell man.

This.

EvangelicalAboutButteredToast · 06/02/2024 09:13

Okay. So if we are happy to describe him as lacking capacity because he is mentally unwell, isn’t the wife even more in need of some help?

I wonder if he’ll stop doing it when he gets the Republican nomination at the presidential campaign after this one?
I wish this statement was funnier.

Wendysfriend · 06/02/2024 09:15

Those pics today 😮😮😮😳😳😳 how has she not been arrested.

Jellycats4life · 06/02/2024 09:15

It looks like mental illness and coercive control to me.

I wish it was funnier too. When Trump seems a really good option in comparison with this alternative, the world really has come off its axis.

Those pictures really are quite disturbing.

It’s starting to give me R Kelly vibes. Just another abuser hiding in plain sight.

She may not be underage, but the push towards parading her as a human sex toy makes me wonder if there might be pressure for her to perform with others for him.

Because he can. Rich people aren't mad, they're eccentric and indulged until they step over the edge. The richer you are, the further away the edge is.

mamacorn1 · 06/02/2024 09:17

It’s all comfortable to watch really, but she is an adult and is making choices to be with him. she is very successful in her own right as a model, so she should have lots of people around her helping her make decisions about her life I would think.

He was always mentally unwell in my opinion.

MrsKwazi · 06/02/2024 09:18

Abuse in plain sight.

Lorelaigilmore88 · 06/02/2024 09:19

Because he's a narcissistic fruit loop. Seems to believe that everything he does is 'art' when most of the world is laughing at him. There's no way to know if she's vulnerable or not. She may well be but at the same time plenty of women do demeaning things for money and fame.

I agree with this. She is an adult so I would hope she is making her own informed choices to dress like this. Although ultimately it is impossible to know what is going on really. I find the pictures really uncomfortable to look at.

EvangelicalAboutButteredToast · 06/02/2024 09:20

Her own friends have come out and tried to stage an intervention. If your own friends are terrified for you then something is wrong. He is following the script. Alienation from family and friends.

I’m not sure, people seem to think she’s no agency in this, but there is every chance she is an exhibitionist and enjoying the attention, it wouldn’t be a unique affliction.

newnamethanks · 06/02/2024 09:21

Has anyone seen the film 'Idiocracy'? A satire when it was made. Looks like everyday life now.

EvangelicalAboutButteredToast · 06/02/2024 09:23

We can’t use ‘she’s an adult’ as an acceptance of not being currently fully under his control. Adults get sucked into damaging, abusive relationships every day. If my partner was regularly parading me naked out and about in public I would fully expect an official body to step in. It’s his money protecting him.

I could agree if I hadn’t read articles about her friends saying this is VERY out of character. Also the testimony of Amber Rose is also very damning.

Why? Can she not think for herself?

Treayi · 06/02/2024 09:29

Some of the outfits are outfits she designed/wore before kanye, I think they’re both massive attention seekers

Payakan · 06/02/2024 09:30

It is an act, so that we talk about him and since you created a post about it, it worked.

PickUpFullOfPinkCarnations · 06/02/2024 09:30

It's very uncomfortable to watch and I hope she has agency in this. The "BJ" photos a few months ago were grim.

I agree with this. Look at Kim K, and so many other celebrities for that matter, almost all arr practically nude at some point, the music videos verge on soft porn

I have no idea?! That’s the question. Is she happily doing this or is she is in abusive relationship with an extremely wealthy, mentally ill man?

Also he is a father. What must his eldest be thinking of the paparazzi photos? She has a social media presence. She will know what’s being posted. It’s just so weird.

He's quite mentally unwell as others have said, and no one knew who his wife was before they got together and started these stunts. It's getting her lots of traction, same as anyone mildly famous who goes out doing ridiculous stuff to get papped.
