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 definitely not romantic, it’s creepy and weird.

Part of me also thinks it’s staged, does he have an album coming out?

LuckyAmy1986 · 15/02/2022 10:55

@ENoeuf totally get what you are saying. I mean he does love a celebrity romance! But I like to think they just liked each other. All
I know is he must be a big breath of fresh air after being with Kanye for so long. She looks genuinely happy.

@MrsGHarrison87

"Either way who cares"
We all should, because as another poster said, her teenager and millions of others aren't getting that it's abusive behaviour and people behind the Instagram account are real and suffering.
I used to use Hollyoaks etc to talk about abusive relationships with my DDs. This is a good teaching tool about abuse, stalking, mental health and how online bullying/nastiness has the same effect as face-to-face situations.

"She didn't care about his MH issues then."

He wasn't as publicly mentally unwell. We don't know what he was like behind closed doors, if he was on medication, or how she felt. She's an ordinary person in terms of knowledge, whose to say that she knew anything about Mental health issues.
Do we know what the laws are in the state she'd file in? Because we are taking it for granted that the Court would react like ours would. They also have the situation that he could be sectioned and one of his fans kill her or Pete for that. None of us know what's it like to live in a country with such easy access to guns and the level of craziness that they live among. I think she's hoping that this will right itself one way or another like a lot of of victims of DV do.

@Beefcurtains79 I would need to look
Up all
Those spats as maybe I’m
Not remembering them clearly. But all
I’m saying is there was no egging on of physical threats. He’s dangerous.

@LizBennet

Yeah there's a lot to be said about Kim, but I've never read about her being a bitch to people who meet her, quite the opposite.
I did think this too, quite often famous people with no particular ‘thing’ who get very famous are very nice, hardworking, professional, turn up on time, have an innate understanding of what the world needs from them etc. Nick Grimshaw said she was his most surprising guest, he wasn’t a fan but he ended up adoring her, she was so nice and funny. A bit like Victoria Beckham?

But then I saw KK call a woman in a hotel with Scott a whore and really use her power, cameras and entourage to treat her like shit. It was horrible.

I feel conflicted because in a way I respect the kardashian women for taking on a world that is usually stacked against females ending up with the power and the money. Normally it’s just prance around in very few clothes and the guys make the bank. However, all the men the women are involved with have terrible life directions, ending up messed up, addicted, alone, on a downward spiral or something or another. What is that about?

Ponoka7 · 15/02/2022 11:01

@Turnippeny, don't be ridiculous, you don't know her as a Mother, or him as a partner. It destroys you living with someone who has severe mental health issues. It takes two parents to keep a family together.

Gardeniafleur · 15/02/2022 11:02

Just to say that I agree KK has the right to do whatever the f she wants and be on social media as much as she wants without being viciously harassed by her ex! In case that’s not clear.

As an aside, I didn't understand how Pete Davidson could land all these celebrity/beautiful women - i don't think he's at all attractive. Then I learned from a friendthat he apparantly has a huge member...and internet searches reveal this to be true Blush

@Turnippeny you’re missing the point. She may be vile, more vile than him etc etc Hmm

But she’s not physically dangerous

@tu

Hi Kanye, how's the album coming along?

OneOfTheGrundys · 15/02/2022 11:06

I don’t believe a thing that’s churned out from the Kardashian media industry. I do love a ‘reality’ story but who knows when fiction and fact start blending.
That said, Kanye is clearly ill, and while he may not be dangerous, his proclamations are. The man needs to pipe down and get treatment.

"However I think Kim is the main villain here - she knew Kanye’s personality and choose to marry and have kids with him - "

We could say the same for around half of DV victims, even those that are killed. Are mothers also to blame when their children are killed by the men they choose ?

[quote Turnippeny]@Ponoka7

She knew his personality and choose him as the father of their kids. Then she dumped him and the kids are hanging out with Pete Davidson.
That is all on her. She left and he wanted to keep them together don’t blame him for her choice whatever he’s doing now. You wouldn’t blame a man who ran of on his partner.[/quote]
Don't be ridiculous, what proof have you that the children are 'hanging round' with Pete Davidson? And if they were, why is he 'slimy' and unsuitable to be round them?
You're obviously a Kanye West fan; anyone can leave someone who isn't making them happy any more and she clearly wasn't. As for the children, what about when he said that their eldest child shouldn't have 'been here' as they were considering a termination.
He's vile, he may be very unwell but IMO he's dangerous, both to her and the children as well as himself.
