Kim Kardashian is speaking out following her husband Kanye West’s recent string of erratic behavior.
In a series of Instagram Stories, Kim delivered a lengthy statement and addressed Kanye West’s struggles with bipolar disorder.
“As many of you know, Kanye has bi-polar disorder. Anyone who has this or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand. I’ve never spoken publicly about how this has affected us at home because I am very protective of our children and Kanye’s right to privacy when it comes to his health. But today, I feel like I should comment on it because of the stigma and misconceptions about mental health.”
“He Is a brilliant but complicated person, who on top of the pressures of being an artist and a Black man, who has experienced the painful loss of his mother, and has to deal with the pressure and isolation that is heightened by his bipolar disorder,” Kim writes.
