How Kanye West fell apart after his divorce from Kim Kardashian

For years, Kanye WestThe star’s personal life and public behavior have fueled incessant speculation.

However, insiders now say its most dramatic debacle didn’t happen overnight.

Instead, it followed the collapse of his marriage to Kim Kardashianremoving a stabilizing force that had quietly subdued his struggles and delaying the consequences that would later explode into public view.

In the years since his divorce from Kim Kardashian, Kanye West has found himself increasingly excluded from the spaces he once dominated.

Big brands severed ties, industry invitations dried up, and even longtime supporters drifted away.

As his isolation deepened, West embraced conspiratorial narratives that shocked observers and alienated allies.

At one point he claimed: “The Jewish media blocked me. This is not hate speech, this is the truth.”

The fallout intensified when he praised Nazis, wore swastikas and released the song “Heil Hitler,” which led to bans in Australia and Brazil.

Touring opportunities collapsed, revenue streams disappeared, and much of the Western world effectively closed its doors to him.

Yet behind the scenes, some close to West insist that his public stance masked a more conflicted internal state that few outside observers saw clearly.

In November, he was filmed privately apologizing to New York Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto during a closed-door meeting, a moment that went largely unnoticed at the time.

His friends who know him best say his most extreme public statements don’t fully reflect who he is in private.

A source told Daily Mail“He is not anti-Semitic,” before adding: “He is not even greedy. He dresses very humbly. He has [a] some objects. He’s nice. He has compassion.

Another insider described the contradiction more starkly.

They said, “It’s a shame. He pretends to be so bad, but it’s really unfortunate. He wants to pretend to be such a bad guy, but he’s not.”

Yet even sympathetic voices acknowledge that the damage caused by his behavior is real and far-reaching.

According to insiders, the period after West’s marriage to Kim Kardashian ended marked a watershed moment.

Without a stabilizing presence, West’s mental state would have deteriorated and his private rhetoric darkened.

“You would start talking about the Jews while he was in a dizzying spiral,” one insider said.

The same source explained the trend more clearly. “If he wasn’t in a spiral, he wasn’t anti-Semitic, or at least he didn’t say it out loud. But when he was in a spiral, he said things privately.”

Friends say attempts to challenge these beliefs have often gone nowhere.

“I tried to explain things to him, and other people tried too. His main argument was always that the Jews killed Jesus,” the source said.

They added that during his worst times, “when he felt anti-Semitic, it was one thing for him to do: ‘Well, the Jews killed Jesus, so they’re bad.’ »

Those close to him say these moments became more frequent as his mental health deteriorated.

For years, insiders claimed that West’s volatility was quietly managed by Kim Kardashian.

“With Ye, you never know what you’re going to get,” a source explained. “It was clear he was bipolar; we all know that. But it got worse over the years.”

According to those familiar with their dynamic, Kardashian took an active role in maintaining her treatment.

“Kim kept Ye on his meds,” a source said. “She would remind him, she would make sure the prescriptions were filled. She would take care of the doctor’s appointments. She would do all that.”

The West has often resisted these efforts. “He hated it all; it bothered him to be on medication. He said he didn’t feel like himself, and especially that he couldn’t create. But Kim continued like that, kept him under control.”
