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?

Someone needs to follow him around with a Wi-Fi blocker, he’s doing himself no favours.

KK seems to be trying to keep things amicable but even she must have limits, surely she can’t allow this to go on much longer without getting at least legal help.

BOOTS52 · 15/02/2022 08:22

Kanye is off his meds and his behaviour is out of control.

He has been also dating a few different women but he does not like it when Kim is dating someone else. He just wants control of her and the situation but he has to accept it is over. I would be having supervised visitation until he gets himself sorted out. A very talented man but needs some help right now. Not a fan of the Kardashians either as feel sorry for the children and would be horrible living your life in the public eye but that is their choice. But he has been posting private messages online and Kim just told him to stop as it will affect the children.

DownUdderer · 15/02/2022 08:23

Anyone enabling Kanye should be ashamed of themselves.

Who’s saying he’s romantic?

He’s quite clearly in the middle of some sort of episode

YANBU

I was looking for a thread on this last night, so many people finding this whole thing cute and hilarious, it's not it's just plain abuse and harassment, imagine the responses if Kim started a thread on here!

He is clearly not in a great place mental health wise (not using this as an excuse for his behaviour) and needs help but instead people are supporting him in what he is doing.

I feel so sorry for their poor kids who no matter how well they are hopefully being protected right now, will be able to find all this stuff on the internet for years to come.

A hell of a lot of people on Twitter including celebrities.
Onlywomengivebirth · 15/02/2022 08:26

I was blissfully unaware of this until my teenage daughter excitedly told me the story over dinner last night. They are all either batshit, or orchestrating the entire drama for attention.

Either way, it’s a big fat yawn from me.

LizBennet · 15/02/2022 08:26

He's definitely in the middle of an episode. He clearly suffers from MH issues. Not saying it's right what he's doing mind, but it has to be taken into consideration.

thegreenlight · 15/02/2022 08:28

DH and I were talking yesterday about this. If Kanye were a woman, he would have been sectioned by now.

FavouritePi · 15/02/2022 08:28

He's very ill and doesn't seem to be on his medication which was apparently the initial reason for their separation last year. His comments get wilder and his behaviour gets more erratic. He flits between anger at her and blasting her on SM then love for her. If he carries on, his erratic behaviour will stop him seeing his kids and she'll be painted out as the bad one.

I've never really liked Kim in general but she doesn't deserve this. Makes me think of all the MN threads re despicable behaviour from ex husbands. All she seems to want and has posted about was wanting a divorce which can be finalised, him to stop turning up and just coparent amicably but separately. She's getting a lot of hate online for wanting that with everything he insinuates then deletes about her.

SliceOfCakeCupOfTea · 15/02/2022 08:30

Tbf Pete is quite a well like comedian so it's not like he's the average Joe. He's got his own fans who big him up, plus all his SNL cast mates and his own security so hopefully he won't be in any actual danger.

Kanye needs proper help, but I don't think he'll ever get it voluntarily.

TheApexOfMyLife · 15/02/2022 08:31

Remove the truck load of roses and celebrity side and anyone posting a sorry like on MN would say this guy is abusive.
They would be told to call the police and report the threats on Pete, the harassment in both of them etc….

I hope Kim does. Because regardless of whether he acts like this because he is ill or not doesn’t matter.,he can’t be left to put people’s like in danger just because.

AlternativePerspective · 15/02/2022 08:31

Wouldn’t surprise me if this is all for attention, her included.

They have always craved the limelight, and let’s be honest, Kim isn’t so sought after since the split. If she genuinely cared she would have got the police involved by now but she hasn’t.

He is clearly a vile individual but I give it 6 months until they’re back together.

If I was Pete I’d run a mile.

LuckyAmy1986 · 15/02/2022 08:34

@AlternativePerspective don’t blame Kim

AlternativePerspective · 15/02/2022 08:38

Why? She is a notorious attention seeker who lives out her life on social media, they all do. In fact I’d say that the majority of them don’t actually know how to live life normally.

She has the money to get the authorities involved, she has the ability to stop posting her private life all over social media and yet she seemingly hasn’t got the authorities involved and is still posting.

Obviously from what we see of him on SM he’s an abusive twat, so why isn’t she taking steps to have him stopped other than the fact that she’s loving the attention.

LuckyAmy1986 · 15/02/2022 08:40

So because she’s a celebrity who loves social media she deserves all this? Nice. Also I’m betting you it won’t be long before she does take further steps. I think she has been trying to be amicable thus far for the sake of her kids. I highly doubt she is loving this.

LuckyAmy1986 · 15/02/2022 08:41

@AlternativePerspective how dare she keep posting?! She should shut up or she deserves harassment and threats

Crimesean · 15/02/2022 08:41

I think he's really poorly, but because he's also successful a lot of his symptoms have been ignored or actively encouraged - a common feature of a manic episode is grandiose statements and a hugely inflated sense of self-worth. This is par for the course amongst certain celebrities Sad.

AnnaSW1 · 15/02/2022 08:43

He's unwell not romantic

Beefcurtains79 · 15/02/2022 08:44

She was quite happy to join in when he was slut shaming Amber Rose and her children, and she merrily joined in with his bullying of Taylor Swift.
She doesn’t like it when he does it to Pete Davidson though.

girafferaffle · 15/02/2022 08:45

Er.. Pete just does PR relationships and they're a family where their success depends on them being in the news. I wouldn't take any of it seriously tbh.

dworky · 15/02/2022 08:45

Absolutely right!

SushiGo · 15/02/2022 08:45

Social media is part of her job. She shouldn't have to stop working because her ex is abusive and threatening her new partner.

GettingThemFromHereToThere · 15/02/2022 08:48

It's manipulative too.

Now the kids will think it's mums fault for not keeping the family together as dad's trying so hard to woo her back.

He's a prick and should get a police warning.

sometimespeopletakethepiss · 15/02/2022 08:48

YANBU, also it's sexism at its finest - imagine for one moment the script was flipped and a woman was doing this on social media to get her man back? She'd have been sectioned a long long time ago.
