Kim Kardashian ‘finds it ridiculous that she needs her lawyer on speed dial’

Two Fridays ago, Kim Kardashian went to family court for an emergency hearing about Kanye West. Kanye still has joint custody of their four kids, but he seems to only really care about North, their oldest, and North is absolutely the only kid who regularly sees her father. Well, the family court hearing apparently covered a lot of ground: Kanye’s recent manic episode which has seen him go back to Nazism; Kanye’s new song, which features North West and Sean Combs; Kanye’s associations with alleged human traffickers Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate, whom Kanye invited over while North was there; and Kanye’s recent social media meltdowns, which included some vile comments about the Kardashians, Beyonce and Jay-Z.

Sources close to Kim told Page Six that she’s terrified of Kanye and she’s especially worried about North, who is ride-or-die for her father. Sources also said that Kanye is “obviously not taking his meds, if he was we wouldn’t be here. It’s not getting any better, he’s not a well person, he’s sinking further down and he’s not acting rationally. There’s so much negativity – I don’t think he can come out of this.” Kanye has also been mostly LA-based this year, and sources say that he’s been abusing nitrous oxide this year. Huh. Sources close to Kim went to People Magazine as well:

Kim Kardashian is feeling frustrated as she deals with the fallout of Kanye West’s social media rantings. A source tells PEOPLE that the SKIMS co-founder, 44, has been feeling stressed and overwhelmed as she’s dealt with her ex-husband’s recent public outbursts — especially when it affects their kids.

The insider says that Kardashian, who shares daughters Chicago, 7, and North, 11, and sons Psalm, 5, and Saint, 9, with West, “can’t stand when he acts irrational” and just wants him to be able to spend time with their kids in a safe way.

“When Kanye’s not around, it’s very sad for the kids. North especially asks to see him,” the source says. “But when he is around, many times it causes frustration and stress for Kim.”

“She can’t stand when he acts irrational. She wants the kids to spend time with him in a safe environment. She finds it ridiculous that she needs her lawyer on speed dial.”

Earlier this week, reports surfaced that Kardashian called for an emergency custody hearing after learning that Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate would be present during West’s visit with daughter North West.

She abruptly ended North’s visit with West last week after security guards told her the Tate brothers, who returned to the U.S. last month after facing sex crimes charges overseas, would soon be arriving at North and West’s meeting place, according to TMZ.

“She can’t stand when he acts irrational” – here’s the thing. You can argue that when Kim and Kanye started up, she absolutely didn’t know how bad it would get and I believe that. But Kim had a much better idea from 2017 until the end of their marriage. She saw him through some really bad times in those years, and we don’t know the half of it, I’m sure. It’s not “Kanye isn’t behaving rationally,” it’s “Kanye is profoundly mentally ill and he’s harming a lot of people too.” I absolutely believe that Kim is concerned about North’s relationship with Kanye too – North adores her father, North is a real daddy’s girl. “She finds it ridiculous that she needs her lawyer on speed dial.” It sucks but yeah, and it’s not going to end any time soon. So keep the lawyer on speed dial.

  1. I think Kim figured out early in the marriage just how bad he was but she continued to have children with him. I also believe even without being mentally ill he was an asshole so I don’t just blame his bad behavior on his mental illness. It’s very sad for the children. I hope she can keep them safe from him.

    Oh god, poor North is going to grow up with a lot of issues to work through. I mean all of the kids are given that their parents had them to basically use as commodities. But she’s gonna have the extra issues of growing up with an insane narcissist father who only favors her.

    “But Kim had a much better idea from 2017 until the end of their marriage” yet she continued to have kids with him for the next 5 years. And look, I do have sympathy for her–it’s not easy dealing with a mentally ill person who refuses to get the treatment they need–but she made some really terrible decisions as well. Maybe she thought she could fix him or that he would get better–who knows–but these kids are not better off having a father that is falling off the proverbial cliff.

    So ultimately my empathy lies with the kids. This a mess that they’ll be dealing with until it finally ends and god knows what that will look like.

      The only time he got medical treatment for his illness was when his tour management did an intervention and had him placed on a hold when she was away in Europe for a few days. Up to that point, she had been indulgent of his behavior and, as soon as she returned, he was quickly back to bad behavior AND she had 2 more kids with him because she wanted 4 kids.

      I feel for those kids. I have no patience with her.

      • Kitten says:

        “AND she had 2 more kids with him because she wanted 4 kids.”

        That’s what it’s always seemed like to me–she just wanted what she wanted and decided it was best to go with the same guy who fathered her other children smdh. Selfish IMO.

  4. ThatGirlThere says:

    She’s gonna need a lawyer on speedless dial, but also a therapist for her kids, given everything they’re going through, and for herself, to work through her own racism and narcissistic tendencies.

    Obviously he has mental illness- which he does not treat properly (which- sometimes it can be difficult to keep bipolar people on meds as it dulls their mania, which dulls creativity, and the feelings can be exciting and powerful)

    But i do want to note that mental illness does not turn anyone into a nazi. That is just him being a pos.
    Regardless of his mental issues- he is also just disgusting.

    Didn’t she have the last two babies via surrogate? If she had stored and unused embryos that would have left her open to a custody battle with K. If he gained control of them she had no control over how he used them. That could be one more reason for staying with him and using them herself.

    • Lightpurple says:

      She wanted 4 kids, she put what she wanted over what life would be like for those kids

    • Steph says:

      She said the surrogacies was bc the first two pregnancies almost killed her and her Dr told her that a third would kill her for sure.
      I think she had the next two bc she wanted to have them him. I don’t think she thinking about a custody at all.
      Kim was extremely ignorant about mental health for a long time.

      Does anyone know what happened with Sofia Vergara’s embryos? I don’t think her ex got them but I don’t think they were destroyed like she wanted either.

  7. Hypocrisy says:

    I would have serious concerns about any father who only pursues a relationship with one of his children. That is a huge red flag 🚩 for me. What a mess, but she has the resources to fight him not all women are that blessed.

  8. Vicki says:

    His creepy obsession with North raises all of the groomer red flags.

  9. Tn Democrat says:

    Kim knew Kanye was controlling and unstable when their relationship began and chose to have 4 children with him. She is very, very lucky to have the financial resources to continously fight this mess. Most women in similar situations cannot afford world class security and the best lawyers. The magats must have really gotten to her, because no one thinks Kanye is the good guy in this situation and no one will judge her harshly for using every legal means possible to deny Kanye access to the kids outside the fringes of the evangelical/magatmovement. She needs to stop running to the tabloids to give her side and focus on her children’s mental health and physical security. And. Those lawyers will be on speed dial until the youngest is 18. The only means Kanye has to directly antagonize her is through their kids.

  10. Whatnow says:

    Unfortunately genetics play in to mental health so I hope those children are okay and that maybe it skips a generation for their sake

  11. Cj says:

    North is who I feel for. She’s getting a lot of relationship-ending red flags normalised and probably overriding her instincts that something is unsafe to stay with her dad. That doesn’t bode well for her as a young adult who’s already exposed to a dangerous sphere of men.

    I bet Kim thought the new wife would do her job of controlling him and minimising and convincing him to take some level of meds. Honestly he needs to be in a conservatorship. This feels like exactly why they exist…
