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.

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

That’s such an easy thing to write. Don’t given them the oxygen of publicity. I think the opposite. Shine a fucking great big light on these people are start a debate.

Peak narcissism on a pathological scale, the pair of them. That’s the long and the short of it.

We, as in society, have to take some of the blame for shite like this. If we didn't give them (and all the other fruitloops, attention seekers, influencers, pranksters etc etc) an audience there would be no point to their behaviour. They do it, and the media shine a spotlight on it, because there is a audience for it.

Sususudio · 06/02/2024 09:36

Weren't all his previous wives and girlfriends exhibitionists before and after they met him? I am not sure it's abuse. They strike me as made for each other.

So why isn’t he naked then? Why is he completely covered and the woman is naked bar a see through piece of plastic?

Why does this woman no longer work and instead just walk around next to him as they travel (get chased out of) countries across the globe? It’s weird and we all need to start saying it’s weird and wrong.

I think he's doing it so people will talk about him, to keep himself in the press. He's trying to be controversial. I think she could walk away if she wanted to but I think she's in it with him. They're celebrities who crave attention, any attention.

Sususudio · 06/02/2024 09:38

He's not naked because no wants to see men naked. Not even women.

EvangelicalAboutButteredToast · 06/02/2024 09:38

Well many of you are more confident than me. I hope you’re correct and she is living her best life.

Did it work though? I won't be buying his crappy album and think he's an idiot. Used to buy his music years ago and haven't done for a long time.

MamaAlwaysknowsbest · 06/02/2024 09:39

Glad you mentioned it and I looked. She looks very unhappy and worried

LovelaceBiggWither · 06/02/2024 09:39

I think it's coercive control. I don't think she has as much agency as some people on this thread think. Look at her face and at her eyes and then look at older photos of her. It's like a completely different person. It's a hideous situation and it's a shame she went back after the intervention.

Well we’ve seen his arsehole as he was bent over getting a public blowie. So I guess that’s his part naked offering.

Abuse in plain sight.

Absolutely this.

Well certainly public decency in Italy. I believe they left before they were bought into the station for a chat.

I would say she has her own mind, being female does not mean we have less brain usage than men

Although it is hard to tell these days

IvorTheEngineDriver · 06/02/2024 09:47

Career's peaked and he needs the publicity otherwise he's yesterday's man.

EvangelicalAboutButteredToast · 06/02/2024 09:47

Your assertion is that women are no more likely to fall victim to coercive control than men? We need some data on that. I don’t believe that is true.

There are many photos of her looking happy. She simply poses , in his outtakes you can see fully shes enthusiastic. I think people simply struggle to accept a woman could wish to behave like this. Dress up as a sex toy and parade about the streets nearly naked.

I also thought absolutely something is wrong here, but I’m honestly not sure now this is all him and she’s not actively complicit.

it might be he is controlling her, but honestly it might not. It could absolutely be she’s an exhibitionist who loves the attention, fame, and notoriety.

Sususudio · 06/02/2024 09:52

I find it hard to tell because I have several friends and acquaintances who have gone completely nuts and are constantly posting pix of themselves in their knickers on Insta. These are sensible, professional women in their 40s. They are not being coerced. They just want validation and attention. And social media plus body positivity has made it easy.

Payakan · 06/02/2024 09:54

@SlurpSlooChortle I don't think their main income comes from the music, but social media, paid insta, and whatnot. By generating traffic, you generate interest and he earns money.

TooBigForMyBoots · 06/02/2024 10:04

She's not naked. She looks naked which gets headlines, but she's not.

CormorantStrikesBack · 06/02/2024 10:07

The thing I don’t understand is why she goes along with it. Because he was like this with her from the start, it’s not like she was slowly groomed into it. Maybe she things it’s worth it for the fame and lifestyle? She’s an intelligent person, she’s a qualified architect I believe. Guess it shows even intelligent women can be abused.

He is definitely mentally unwell, he likes controlling women. I do wonder if he’s mad at Kim for breaking up with him and this is some sort of “fuck you” to Kim.
