Kris Jenner Has Spoken Out About Kim And Kanye’s Divorce

Keeping Up with the Kardashians is coming to an end in 2021, but they’re really going out with a bang. In February that year a big announcement came from the family of reality TV fame. Shockingly, Kim Kardashian is divorcing her husband: Kanye West. But there are other characters to consider in this drama. What does her mother Kris Jenner think, for instance? And has she been involved since the first signs of trouble?

Lots happened before Kim made her filing for divorce. Though it wasn’t really all that surprising for many of us who’d been keeping up with the Kardashians. When a couple experiences life with very little privacy – as Kim and Kanye always seemed to do – it’s easy for people to see the cracks.

But while Keeping Up with the Kardashians is entertainment, the events surrounding the run up to Kim and Kanye’s divorce seemed a lot more serious. The latter had bipolar disorder, Kim herself confirmed, and it affected not just their marriage but the wider family, too.

Back in July 2020 Kim wrote a long post on social media about Kanye’s bipolar disorder. She said, “Anyone who has this or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand.” But as the next few months passed, it became clear the marriage was irreversibly strained.

And Kris Jenner – grandmother to Kim and Kanye’s four kids – seemed pretty heavily involved in things. As the latter’s behavior became more erratic and the marriage started to deteriorate, Kanye made several comments about her as well. But of course as all Kardashian fans know, Kris isn’t just Kim’s mother. She’s her manager, too!
