To think people shouldn't be calling Kanye 'romantic'

Kanye West wants Kim back. She is currently with some bloke called Pete, Kanye up until recently was with a woman called Julia, they've just broken up, no surprise because Kanye has been posting pics of Kim and the kids saying he wants his family back together.

He's now on a crusade to get her back. For valentine's Day he sent a truck of red roses to her house, he's made public declarations of his love on Instagram, has enlisted the "help" of celebrity friends and fans, and is telling his followers to shout KIMYE at Kim and Pete when they see them together.
He's also calling Pete names (Skete?) and generally telling his fans that he's an obstacle.

Last night, Kanye posted screenshots of his messages with Kim where she has asked him to stop doing what he's doing as something bad could happen to Pete and it would be his fault. Kanye's reaction to that was to ask his fans not to hurt Pete, as he was going to hurt him himself. Wtf?

Yet his fans, influencers and celebrity friends are calling him a romantic who just wants his ex wife back, using tag lines such as KimyeForever and trolling Pete. People seem to think it's hilarious and adorable.

Kanye is diagnosed with bipolar, it doesn't sound like he's of a sound mind at the moment, and he's also a massive narc. I'm not a fan of Kim or any of the Kardashians, but this must be really unsettling for her, if it was any normal couple then Kanye would be called abusive and Kim would be on the phone to the police/Woman's Aid

Aibu to think that someone needs to intervene before he does something extreme or encourages his fans to do something extreme?

YANBU sounds stalkerish almost

WheelieBinPrincess · 15/02/2022 07:58

A truck of red roses!! That’s stupid.

Yeah it's gross and he is the sort of celebrity to inspire such insane fans that if I was Pete Davidson I'd be worried for my safety.

YANBU

I've been totally shocked to be on a kardashian side. His behaviour is awful. He bought the house next door to her, made out like his daughter had been kidnapped because he wasn't invited to his daughters birthday party (well duh you're separated now) kicked off that security wouldn't let him into Kim's House.

He needs serious help and a restraining order.

DragonSnapCrimson · 15/02/2022 08:02

100% agree, its abusive and stalkerish. I think its even worse as Kim was literally held at gunpoint and thought she was going to be killed and now her ex husband is telling all his fans to scream insults at them in the street, probably knowing that his craziest fans will do far worse. She must be terrified, it's awful but people are lapping it up as entertainment.

Kayne did get boo-ed at the super bowl.

SirSamVimesCityWatch · 15/02/2022 08:04

He's an arsehole.

KaptainKaveman · 15/02/2022 08:04

This is what happens when you live out your life on social media. It's pathetic and ridiculous. It's like having to deal with unhinged toddlers.

Siameasy · 15/02/2022 08:05

Agree, he seems as if he has a personality disorder

Yes, but narc Kanye thinks that the booing was for the football player stood next to him because he hasn't played a great season or something!

She is so much better off without him, there is no way she is going back. I think he isn’t going to stop though, who knows where this will end up.

Hospedia · 15/02/2022 08:07

He's such an arsehole. As well as publically telling Pete "you will never meet my children" (in response to Pete sending him a conciliatory message which Kanye posted to his social media), he also implied Pete has been hanging around just kids in Calvins/underwear which of course brings out the "he's a paedo!" knuckle draggers.

SpideySenseTingles · 15/02/2022 08:08

Bipolar + wealth + fame is a recipe for disaster. Feel sorry for everyone in this situation.

BudgeUpAnne · 15/02/2022 08:08

The screenshots of his messages with Kim were classic victim trying to appease an abuser. Politely worded, trying to come across that she was on his side etc

When was Kim held at gunpoint? I agree, it’s awful. Why hasn’t she got a restraining order against him?

MsTSwift · 15/02/2022 08:09

What a waste of lovely roses.

BulletTrain · 15/02/2022 08:11

It is awful. Honestly he needs proper treatment. He is proving he is a danger to someone!

RishiRich · 15/02/2022 08:11

YANBU. I don't follow celebrity news much but from the little I've seen he's a self-obsessed bully.

SushiGo · 15/02/2022 08:11

He is clearly abusive. Why the police haven't been involved, I don't know. At least Kim has security guards. Hopefully 24/7.

This behaviour should be used as an example of red flags. I'm no fan of the Kardashians or Kanye, I didn't even realise they were still together and I believe the less airtime they get the better however stalking is a huge issue for women and should never be romanticised.

GlitterSquid · 15/02/2022 08:16

I think he's probably quite a dangerous man in sort of a 'if I can't have you, nobody can' way.

Gowithme · 15/02/2022 08:17

Serious MH problems, serious entitlement problems. How could he think that this sort of behaviour would make anyone want to go back to him? Totally delusional.

MrsTrumpton · 15/02/2022 08:20

I would be terrified if I was Pete Davidson given how rabid Kanye’s fans are and the likelihood of one of them taking a pot shot at him. He must really like Kim to be putting up with this. The worst thing for her is that whoever she dates Kanye is going on to react like this.

grapewine · 15/02/2022 08:21

I hope Pete Davidson has a good security team. It's all nuts. Definitely gives me obsessed stalker vibes.
