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?

It's probably all contrived for media coverage by his management. Take things you read in the media with a pinch of salt. Either way who cares.

BoodleBug51 · 15/02/2022 09:12

His behaviour has always screamed that he's got serious MH issues.

She still chose to marry and have 4 kids with him.

Not feeling much sympathy for her to be honest.

Well I would have said anyone who comments, but you've proved me wrong 👍🏼

LuckyAmy1986 · 15/02/2022 09:13

@Beefcurtains79 that is disgusting but it’s just not the same!! I remember Taylor was giving as good as she got as well (good for her). He is actively threatening Pete, threatening to hurt him. A celeb spat isn’t comparable

@ENoeuf

My opinion of PD has gone down massively for getting involved in the shit show that is the Kardashians.
I mean, yeah...
Hospedia · 15/02/2022 09:17

Dunno, Alice Evans has been doing pretty similar and she hasn't been sectioned.

No but she's been labelled a bunny boiler, unhinged, and there have been many comments about how she should "maintain a dignified silence" and stop airing her dirty laundry in public "for the sake of the children". Not one person has labelled her behaviour as romantic.

She is choosing to be public property here

She's actually been fairly silent in relation to the divorce, doesn't usually publically respond to Kanye's bullshit, and has seemed determined yo try do things amicably and co-parent on good terms. She has also not publically spoken about her relationship with PD and, based on the message PD sent privately to Kanye (which Kanye posted to social media) she hasn't introduced him to her children either. The only person dragging the relationship onto social media is Kanye and just because Kim's job involves social media doesn't make his behaviour right.

longwayoff · 15/02/2022 09:17

He is seriously unwell. She knows this and has known for some time. Their whole lives are utterly insane and public property, they've monetised every last inch. It's not going to end well.

Hospedia · 15/02/2022 09:17

So much victim blaming on this thread.

grapewine · 15/02/2022 09:18

We need to get beyond this place where posting about your whole life to whoever wants to read about it is considered an occupation.

This is so true.

DearlyBeloathed · 15/02/2022 09:20

@Siameasy

Agree, he seems as if he has a personality disorder
He has diagnosed bipolar

The funny thing about abusers is that they don't tend to go around wearing an "I'm an arsehole" sign while waving a little 'danger' bell. It's a slow drip of control, a bit here and a bit there, a dash of gaslighting and a big dollop of Fear-Guilt-Obligation so you don't see the behaviour for what it is. I suggest you Google the cycle of abuse to understand why more people don't immediately leave abusive relationships.

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 15/02/2022 09:21

He wants to run for president😬

TheGreatATuin · 15/02/2022 09:21

He's an awful man and yes, a complete narcissist. I'll not forget the way he treated Taylor Swift.

Doggydoodah123 · 15/02/2022 09:21

Kanye is a moron, always has been.

BadBiscuits · 15/02/2022 09:22

I don’t know anything about these people but surely she’s fully aware and willingly going on with this for the publicity and drama?

If not she have the police and lawyers on it.

Not a very good role model perpetuating stalker behaviour though.

America is so strange.

Siameasy · 15/02/2022 09:22

Unless one of his victims complains to the authorities, nothing formal will be done

@LuckyAmy1986

People saying she deserves to get harassed and abused by her ex because she lives out her life on social media are as bad as people who say if that girl didn’t want to get assaulted she shouldn’t have worn that dress. Have a word with yourselves!
This. She doesn't deserve this. It's harassment. He needs help. I'm hoping Kim files for full custody of the children until his mental state is assessed and fit to be around the children.
kittensinthekitchen · 15/02/2022 09:25

All we need now is for someone to comment on the length of Kim's skirts 🙄

The victim blaming from some posters is disgusting.

lottiegarbanzo · 15/02/2022 09:27

Going from what I've read here of his behaviour, that's classic 'man who thinks he owns the women he has relationships with'. If he can't have them any more, he'll destroy them. That is, family annihilator in the making.

GingerFoxInAT0phat · 15/02/2022 09:29

He is absolutely disgusting. And dangerous. He is also drumming up huge amounts of publicity for his upcoming album and seems to be using his family as collateral.

I would think Kim is playing the long game and letting Kanye release all his bile online to gather evidence so he will only be able to have supervised visits with the children.

NorthSouthcatlady · 15/02/2022 09:31

I’m confused about his so called “romantic” behaviour; it’s actually stalkerish and inappropriate. I’m not a fan of the Kardashians but l feel for Kim, so far she has had the patience of a saint

LuckyAmy1986 · 15/02/2022 09:33

Not a very good role model perpetuating stalker behaviour though

Oh wow

BoodleBug51 · 15/02/2022 09:35

Everything that the Kardashian family does is to make sure that every element of their lives get maximum attention..... it's how they breathe. KW was a high profile star at the time who took KK to another level of fame when they got together. If he'd been an electrician, she'd never have looked twice at him.

She didn't care about his MH issues then.

So yes I do blame her too - just as I equally blame a man who doesn't take his meds when he has 4 kids.

Diqgeneration · 15/02/2022 09:37

It’s all unwanted isn’t it? She’s clearly said no multiple times. I mean, this could be the latest plot for her show but if not, he needs to back away gracefully.

I am a little suspicious because it all makes her look so desirable and amazing, with big shows all recorded for social media

lucillelarusso · 15/02/2022 09:40

He is unwell and having a mental health crisis. I like to believe that in the UK he would be in hospital receiving support. It is tragic for the whole family.
