00:00:03,700 --> 00:00:05,870
[reporter] Kanye is the man!
3
00:00:08,070 --> 00:00:11,370
[Zan] All of a sudden,
a divorce is definitely happening.
4
00:00:11,370 --> 00:00:12,800
And it was such a big
news story.
5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,600
{\an8}[reporter] Hmm, sad news
for Kim and Kanye fans.
6
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,170
{\an8}Filing for divorce
from her husband Kanye West,
7
00:00:18,170 --> 00:00:20,330
{\an8}their high profile marriage
coming to an end.
8
00:00:20,330 --> 00:00:24,370
{\an8}According to Forbes,
the couple is worth $2 billion.
9
00:00:24,370 --> 00:00:27,900
[Neama] Both Kim and Kanye
said they wanted an amicable divorce.
10
00:00:27,900 --> 00:00:30,900
Soon, it was clear that it was
not gonna be the case.
11
00:00:30,900 --> 00:00:33,530
It turned nasty,
it turned litigious.
12
00:00:35,500 --> 00:00:39,000
You're watching
this giant partnership crumble apart.
13
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,270
At any moment,
Kanye can start airing dirty laundry,
14
00:00:42,270 --> 00:00:44,730
can start putting up
obnoxious tweets,
15
00:00:44,730 --> 00:00:46,270
saying things about Kim.
16
00:00:46,270 --> 00:00:50,100
Her reputation is worth
hundreds of millions of dollars.
17
00:00:50,100 --> 00:00:52,470
There was so much at stake
in this case.
18
00:00:52,470 --> 00:00:55,730
Billion dollar companies,
properties all over the country,
19
00:00:55,730 --> 00:00:57,370
and four children.
20
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,500
[man] Julianna, come here
for a second, please,
21
00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:02,370
and bring me Ye's prenup.
22
00:01:02,370 --> 00:01:06,000
The stated reason
for the divorce was irreconcilable differences,
23
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,530
but the real question was,
24
00:01:07,530 --> 00:01:09,900
why was Kim leaving Kanye?
25
00:01:13,970 --> 00:01:16,330
[Virginia]
This was so dangerous for Kim,
26
00:01:16,330 --> 00:01:18,270
he's trying to keep
tabs on her,
27
00:01:18,270 --> 00:01:19,870
he's trying to control her.
28
00:01:19,870 --> 00:01:21,270
It was just relentless.
29
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000
[man] Kanye objected
to the way
30
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,170
that Kim was parenting
the children.
31
00:01:28,170 --> 00:01:32,330
{\an8}I know y'all don't respect
fathers, it always leans towards the mom.
32
00:01:33,730 --> 00:01:36,630
[Sheeraz] She tried everything
to save her marriage.
33
00:01:36,630 --> 00:01:39,630
Kanye West was just
ranting and raving.
34
00:01:39,630 --> 00:01:42,730
Acting out,
behaving very inappropriately.
35
00:01:42,730 --> 00:01:45,000
Imagine living with that 24/7.

[paparazzi clamoring]
45
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,430
{\an8}Kim Kardashian is one of
the most photographed people on the entire planet.
46
00:02:31,430 --> 00:02:33,000
[paparazzi clamoring]
47
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,370
[Dax] There are
constantly photographers
48
00:02:35,370 --> 00:02:37,630
waiting to capture
every move she makes.
49
00:02:37,630 --> 00:02:38,700
[paparazzi clamoring]
50
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,000
[Zan] We think of
Kim Kardashian as being public property,
51
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,270
and that's in part because
she is a very new kind of celebrity.
52
00:02:46,270 --> 00:02:47,630
{\an8}She's a woman
with a reality TV show,
53
00:02:47,630 --> 00:02:49,700
{\an8}she has given us a lot
over the years.
54
00:02:50,630 --> 00:02:53,100
Kim is extremely controlled
in public
55
00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:54,900
while there were things
going on behind the scenes,
56
00:02:54,900 --> 00:02:56,500
private things
and struggles that she had,
57
00:02:56,500 --> 00:02:57,730
and fights
that she was fighting
58
00:02:57,730 --> 00:02:59,470
through some very
difficult times.
59
00:03:04,370 --> 00:03:07,070
[woman] It's 2020,
Kanye and Kim have been living apart.
60
00:03:07,070 --> 00:03:09,430
Her in Los Angeles,
him in Wyoming.
61
00:03:09,430 --> 00:03:12,230
At the time, Kim Kardashian
went out to Wyoming
62
00:03:12,230 --> 00:03:14,500
because Kanye was just
off the rails,
63
00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:17,970
to kind of urge him
to seek help mentally.
64
00:03:20,230 --> 00:03:22,530
{\an8}This comes on the heels
of countless rumors,
65
00:03:22,530 --> 00:03:24,530
{\an8}that they were having trouble
in their marriage.
66
00:03:24,530 --> 00:03:26,500
[Dax] And so,
it was no surprise
67
00:03:26,500 --> 00:03:28,730
that there was paparazzi
in Wyoming
68
00:03:28,730 --> 00:03:31,700
tracking where Kanye West was
at that time.
69
00:03:31,700 --> 00:03:35,730
And the second
that the two of them go out to the fast food joint,
70
00:03:35,730 --> 00:03:38,100
of course, they followed 'em
all the way there,
71
00:03:38,100 --> 00:03:41,470
and it was when
that really infamous photo was taken.
72
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,630
[Zan] TMZ captures her
in the parking lot of a Wendy's
73
00:03:52,630 --> 00:03:54,800
and she's clearly
really upset.
74
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,900
[Dax] Y ou saw that
vulnerable, sad side of Kim
75
00:03:57,900 --> 00:04:00,170
where she's just breaking down
crying.
76
00:04:00,170 --> 00:04:01,970
She was struggling
with their marriage,
77
00:04:01,970 --> 00:04:04,800
struggling to hold the family
together without him.
78
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,270
She's crying,
she's gesticulating,
79
00:04:07,270 --> 00:04:09,370
she looks like
she's pleading with Kanye.
80
00:04:09,370 --> 00:04:11,730
And she looks like
a woman in crisis.
81
00:04:11,730 --> 00:04:14,000
That was just
the tip of the iceberg
82
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,870
of what was really happening
behind the scenes
83
00:04:16,870 --> 00:04:18,100
with Kanye.
84
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,530
Welcome to the
Hollywood Raw podcast, I'm Dax Holt,
85
00:04:29,530 --> 00:04:31,600
and let's get into it
this week.
86
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,900
I feel like we can't go
a single day
87
00:04:33,900 --> 00:04:35,870
without Kim, Kanye,
88
00:04:35,870 --> 00:04:40,100
someone from
the Kardashian family in the news per always.
89
00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:42,730
I don't picture my career
without Kim Kardashian, honestly,
90
00:04:42,730 --> 00:04:45,800
because her family,
the Kardashians as a whole,
91
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,530
I mean, as crazy as it sounds,
92
00:04:47,530 --> 00:04:50,730
they are our Royal Family
over here in the United States.
93
00:04:50,730 --> 00:04:51,800
[paparazzi clamoring]
94
00:04:52,870 --> 00:04:55,730
When we first ran into
each other,
95
00:04:55,730 --> 00:05:00,600
she was just
Paris Hilton's best friend, she was the stylist.
96
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,170
We would see each other
at parties, we would hang out.
97
00:05:03,170 --> 00:05:06,370
We had developed a friendship
beyond just...
98
00:05:06,370 --> 00:05:08,530
celebrity and reporter.
99
00:05:08,530 --> 00:05:09,600
[paparazzi clamoring]
100
00:05:10,630 --> 00:05:13,800
[Dax] She's very warm,
she's very approachable.
101
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,370
It's not like you're talking
to this huge celebrity.
102
00:05:16,370 --> 00:05:18,630
She becomes normal
Kim Kardashian,
103
00:05:18,630 --> 00:05:21,100
and she gets trashed on
all the time
104
00:05:21,100 --> 00:05:23,430
because people love
to hate on her.
105
00:05:23,430 --> 00:05:26,800
But she really is
a sweet, sweet person.
106
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,600
{\an8}Anyone that knows me
knows that I love hard
107
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,600
{\an8}and I live my life
on a reality show,
108
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,530
{\an8}my life is so open,
I share so much.
109
00:05:42,530 --> 00:05:45,100
{\an8}But to share
relationship details,
110
00:05:45,100 --> 00:05:48,330
I think that part
I would really keep sacred.
111
00:05:48,330 --> 00:05:51,630
And then, I've gotta ask you
about this bloke, Kanye West.
112
00:05:51,630 --> 00:05:53,530
- [audience cheering]
- [mouthing] Who is that?
113
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,630
- Oh, look, what a lovely pair.
- [Kim] Who's that?
114
00:05:57,630 --> 00:05:59,370
- [Alan] What a lovely pair.
- [Kim chuckles]
115
00:05:59,370 --> 00:06:00,600
- [chuckles]
- [Alan] Um--
116
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:01,630
[audience exclaiming]
117
00:06:03,900 --> 00:06:06,700
Kim and Kanye were
in a brand new relationship,
118
00:06:06,700 --> 00:06:09,730
and they would talk
about it on TV.
119
00:06:09,730 --> 00:06:12,500
I think Kim Kardashian
has always wanted love,
120
00:06:12,500 --> 00:06:16,630
and I think she wanted this
to the end-all be-all relationship.
121
00:06:16,630 --> 00:06:20,000
And it was like fire
at the beginning, it was fireworks.
122
00:06:20,900 --> 00:06:23,170
You can see
through different interviews
123
00:06:23,170 --> 00:06:25,470
they have this, like,
fairytale romance.
124
00:06:25,470 --> 00:06:27,370
{\an8}I can see he makes
your whole heart smile.
125
00:06:27,370 --> 00:06:29,000
{\an8}Your face lights up
when you speak about him.
126
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,100
{\an8}- Really?
- [Oprah] Yeah.
127
00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:33,630
{\an8}- Does his bad boy image
scare you? - [Kim] No.
128
00:06:33,630 --> 00:06:35,000
{\an8}Not at all.
129
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,270
[Dax] I mean, you see a lot of
fake PR couples go around.
130
00:06:38,270 --> 00:06:40,100
But there was something
different with Kim and Kanye.
131
00:06:40,100 --> 00:06:42,700
You could tell that
they were actually in love,
132
00:06:42,700 --> 00:06:45,800
this was not something
just to make headlines.
133
00:06:48,630 --> 00:06:52,730
{\an8}Kim was a huge influence
for Kanye.
134
00:06:52,730 --> 00:06:54,900
{\an8}Huge,
transformed his business,
135
00:06:54,900 --> 00:06:56,430
{\an8}transformed his image.
136
00:06:56,430 --> 00:06:58,430
But, in Kanye's credit,
137
00:06:58,430 --> 00:07:01,870
he also was extremely
influential for Kim.
138
00:07:01,870 --> 00:07:04,100
They would support
each other's brands,
139
00:07:04,100 --> 00:07:05,730
cross-promoting themselves,
140
00:07:05,730 --> 00:07:07,970
it was the definition
of a power couple.
141
00:07:11,700 --> 00:07:13,270
{\an8}Is anyone getting
a tape of this?
142
00:07:13,270 --> 00:07:15,270
{\an8}Because I hope you do,
you can see me when I'm famous
143
00:07:15,270 --> 00:07:16,600
{\an8}and old you'll remember me.
144
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,000
[Sheeraz] I remember
when I first met Kim 20 years ago,
145
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,600
honestly, she was just
a young girl
146
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,470
with a sparkle
in her eye,
147
00:07:24,470 --> 00:07:28,370
an innocent soul
that had a dream to become famous.
148
00:07:31,370 --> 00:07:33,170
Hey guys, I ran into Sheeraz.
149
00:07:33,170 --> 00:07:36,330
- Hello.
- You've no idea the journeys we've been on together.
150
00:07:36,330 --> 00:07:37,730
[Sheeraz] This is the area
right now
151
00:07:37,730 --> 00:07:40,900
that I used to
strategically position Kim for restaurants.
152
00:07:40,900 --> 00:07:42,530
You'd see her
coming out of restaurants,
153
00:07:42,530 --> 00:07:43,870
paparazzi showing up.
154
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,630
So, this place is The Ivy.
155
00:07:46,630 --> 00:07:48,630
I used to use
this restaurant
156
00:07:48,630 --> 00:07:51,370
pretty much as my red carpet
for her in Hollywood.
157
00:07:52,370 --> 00:07:54,600
Just here, stop.
158
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,530
The-- through
those doors there,
159
00:07:56,530 --> 00:07:58,370
was Kim Kardashian's
apartment.
160
00:07:58,370 --> 00:08:02,170
All her dreams,
all our goals, all our fame strategies
161
00:08:02,170 --> 00:08:05,700
was built from this one
small little apartment here
162
00:08:05,700 --> 00:08:08,330
into becoming
the most famous person in the world,
163
00:08:08,330 --> 00:08:10,000
and today,
a billionaire.
164
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,070
[paparazzi clamoring]
165
00:08:13,270 --> 00:08:16,000
[Sheeraz] What attracted
Kim Kardashian to Kanye West
166
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,630
in the beginning
was his support, his belief in her.
167
00:08:19,630 --> 00:08:22,730
Kanye West
was magnetized.
168
00:08:22,730 --> 00:08:23,900
I was stunned.
169
00:08:25,070 --> 00:08:26,170
I thought,
"Oh my God, Kim,
170
00:08:26,170 --> 00:08:28,100
you've got the most famous
rapper on earth
171
00:08:28,100 --> 00:08:29,270
that's like, a little puppy."
172
00:08:30,070 --> 00:08:32,100
Well, Kanye West,
he is an artist
173
00:08:32,100 --> 00:08:36,000
and his whole thing is
it's about fashion
174
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,870
and so, he sees
this vision
175
00:08:38,870 --> 00:08:40,500
she was the muse,
176
00:08:40,500 --> 00:08:42,530
he was the fashion guru
177
00:08:42,530 --> 00:08:45,000
and I think that she was
very open to it.
178
00:08:51,100 --> 00:08:54,270
On the show they show
he had rented out
179
00:08:54,270 --> 00:08:57,700
{\an8}the entire AT&T Park stadium.
180
00:08:57,700 --> 00:08:59,730
{\an8}He had a full orchestra,
181
00:08:59,730 --> 00:09:01,730
{\an8}he had fireworks.
182
00:09:01,730 --> 00:09:06,330
{\an8}So, you're watching
this over-the-top gigantic event.
183
00:09:06,870 --> 00:09:07,700
{\an8}[gasping]
184
00:09:07,700 --> 00:09:10,900
{\an8}[Dax] In full
Kanye and Kim fashion.
185
00:09:10,900 --> 00:09:12,370
{\an8}[Kanye speaking]
186
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,070
[Zan] The-- one of the,
sort of bonds, between Kim and Kanye
187
00:09:24,070 --> 00:09:26,800
was that they both
lost parents that they were really close to.
188
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,330
Um, Kanye's mother Donda
189
00:09:28,330 --> 00:09:31,730
died of complications
related to plastic surgery in 2007,
190
00:09:31,730 --> 00:09:35,470
{\an8}and Kim's father Robert
died of cancer, uh, when she was a teenager.
191
00:09:35,470 --> 00:09:38,500
{\an8}Her father's death
absolutely changed her.
192
00:09:38,500 --> 00:09:41,600
Kim's been sharing recently
notes that she used to write to her father,
193
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,370
{\an8}throwback photos,
she really looked up to him.
194
00:09:44,370 --> 00:09:46,270
It's not just,
he died and that was hard,
195
00:09:46,270 --> 00:09:47,900
but these life events,
where it's, you know,
196
00:09:47,900 --> 00:09:49,470
getting married,
having children,
197
00:09:49,470 --> 00:09:51,730
meant missing their dad
continually.
198
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,700
Her family life means
everything for Kim,
199
00:09:56,700 --> 00:09:58,530
and this marriage
going well
200
00:09:58,530 --> 00:10:01,230
was a really big deal
and it really meant something to her.
201
00:10:07,370 --> 00:10:10,370
Like everything
that the couple did, it was a spectacle.
202
00:10:10,370 --> 00:10:11,970
But, you know,
I think there was some sense
203
00:10:11,970 --> 00:10:13,630
that there was trouble
in paradise.
204
00:10:14,870 --> 00:10:17,370
I think that Kanye began
to fall apart
205
00:10:17,370 --> 00:10:18,470
early in that relationship.
206
00:10:19,270 --> 00:10:21,530
Kanye wanted everything
Kanye's way,
207
00:10:21,530 --> 00:10:23,230
and when Kanye doesn't
get his way,
208
00:10:23,230 --> 00:10:26,230
he created these
temper tantrums.
209
00:10:26,230 --> 00:10:29,530
You can never predict
how he's gonna act and what he's gonna do.
210
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,900
It was our early glimpse
into someone
211
00:10:32,900 --> 00:10:35,700
whose control ultimately
would work against him.
212
00:10:38,570 --> 00:10:41,900
{\an8}There was a big shift
in, I think, relationships
213
00:10:41,900 --> 00:10:44,840
once Kanye came
on the scene, um,
214
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,740
uh, you know I noticed
at that time
215
00:10:46,740 --> 00:10:48,370
Kim went and basically
216
00:10:48,370 --> 00:10:51,370
wiped out all of the people
that she followed on Twitter
217
00:10:51,370 --> 00:10:55,840
unless they were
like, family or really close friends,
218
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,570
myself included in that--
[chuckles] that wipe out.
219
00:10:58,570 --> 00:11:01,630
And I think it was
a strategic move from Kanye West.
220
00:11:01,630 --> 00:11:05,200
{\an8}I remember when I saw
the first, let's call it, "red flag",
221
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:06,630
{\an8}you know,
with Kim and Kanye,
222
00:11:06,630 --> 00:11:09,200
is when I'd spent
months and months and months of planning
223
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,000
for Kim Kardashian to do
an appearance in Kuwait and Bahrain,
224
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,470
and at the time
she was pregnant with North.
225
00:11:15,470 --> 00:11:16,570
And, I think,
226
00:11:17,100 --> 00:11:18,740
Kanye said to Kim,
227
00:11:18,740 --> 00:11:21,470
"You are not going to Kuwait.
You are pregnant."
228
00:11:22,900 --> 00:11:26,270
{\an8}And in Kim's defense,
you know, she said, "This is my business",
229
00:11:26,270 --> 00:11:29,970
{\an8}she fought with Kanye,
and she got on that plane.
230
00:11:29,970 --> 00:11:32,600
She came, she delivered
and then she went back home.
231
00:11:34,330 --> 00:11:38,840
But, one by one, you know,
people that Kim had worked with for many, many years
232
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,470
they were no longer around.
233
00:11:40,470 --> 00:11:42,270
You know,
he was trying to control the inner circle.
234
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,200
[Zan] One of the early things
that they did publicly
235
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,740
{\an8}was that he came on
Keeping Up With the Kardashians
236
00:11:51,740 --> 00:11:53,170
{\an8}and emptied out
her closet.
237
00:11:53,170 --> 00:11:56,000
{\an8}"I don't like your clothes,
we're giving almost everything away."
238
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,430
{\an8}[Kim] Okay,
do we not like these?
239
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,200
{\an8}Mmm-mmm.
240
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:00,600
{\an8}- No, no, no, no, no.
- [Kanye] I just--
241
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,330
{\an8}- I need these.
- [Kanye speaking]
242
00:12:02,330 --> 00:12:03,700
Oh, yes, yes.
243
00:12:03,700 --> 00:12:06,630
But shouldn't I just keep
this for my daughter one day?
244
00:12:09,630 --> 00:12:11,530
Um...
245
00:12:11,530 --> 00:12:14,470
- [Kanye] Sometimes silence
is the best response. - You use--
246
00:12:14,470 --> 00:12:17,200
[Virginia] One might look
at that and think, "Isn't it wonderful?
247
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,270
{\an8}He is lavishing
attention on her."
248
00:12:19,270 --> 00:12:21,070
{\an8}It's terrifying,
249
00:12:21,070 --> 00:12:23,200
because he's trying
to control her.
250
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:24,470
[Kanye] How do you feel,
baby?
251
00:12:24,470 --> 00:12:26,840
Like, I'm literally crying.
252
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:31,000
We see Kanye really
with a lack of boundaries.
253
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,840
It's really not his business
how she dresses.
254
00:12:34,970 --> 00:12:36,840
Some of Kanye's, sort of
behavior towards Kim
255
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,740
in the early stages
of their relationship,
256
00:12:38,740 --> 00:12:41,100
you know, in context
here, you can read one way, right?
257
00:12:41,100 --> 00:12:42,630
He's changing
her fashion style,
258
00:12:42,630 --> 00:12:44,430
he's changing
her public image, right?
259
00:12:44,430 --> 00:12:45,800
He's changing
who she hangs out with
260
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,200
because he's made her
A-lister,
261
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,000
she has
these different friends now.
262
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,000
But, if you saw this happen
with a civilian woman,
263
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,430
you might feel
very differently about it,
264
00:12:52,430 --> 00:12:53,800
I think it's possible to say
265
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,630
right, you know,
he's controlling what she wants to look like
266
00:12:55,630 --> 00:12:58,740
and who she hangs out with,
like, those are red flags.
267
00:12:58,740 --> 00:13:01,570
This pattern of behavior
didn't just happen with Kim,
268
00:13:01,570 --> 00:13:04,370
it happened with
his previous girlfriend Amber Rose.
269
00:13:08,740 --> 00:13:11,170
{\an8}You know
they have these stores called Build-a-Bear,
270
00:13:11,170 --> 00:13:13,330
{\an8}where children can go
and they make a teddy bear,
271
00:13:13,330 --> 00:13:15,740
that's how Kanye
built his girlfriends.
272
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,200
So, Amber Rose
was someone that most people did not know
273
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,200
until she got
with Kanye West.
274
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:23,700
He dresses her up,
275
00:13:23,700 --> 00:13:24,840
he parades her around,
276
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,900
she goes where
he wants her to go,
277
00:13:26,900 --> 00:13:29,070
does what he wants her
to do,
278
00:13:29,070 --> 00:13:30,470
but at her own admission,
279
00:13:30,470 --> 00:13:32,470
the controlling nature
of the relationship
280
00:13:32,470 --> 00:13:35,430
is something that
she really regretted once she got out of it.
281
00:13:38,270 --> 00:13:39,840
[DJ Envy] Special guest
here this morning.
282
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,200
{\an8}- [man] He's back!
- He's back!
283
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:42,600
{\an8}Kanye West!
284
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,200
{\an8}- Wassup?
- [DJ Envy] I didn't think it was gonna happen--
285
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,740
After Kanye and Amber
broke up,
286
00:13:45,740 --> 00:13:48,330
he said very derogatory
things about her in the public.
287
00:13:48,330 --> 00:13:51,000
{\an8}If Kim had, like,
dated me when I first--
288
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,840
wanted to be,
well, I wouldn't be with Amber Rose.
289
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,200
You know
what I'm sayin', like...
290
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,600
I'd take 30 showers
before I got with Kim.
291
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,900
- You know, I--
- [all laughing]
292
00:13:58,900 --> 00:14:01,270
[DJ Envy] Ladies
and gentlemen, it's Kanye West.
293
00:14:01,270 --> 00:14:04,470
He said after being with her
he had to take, like, 30 showers.
294
00:14:04,470 --> 00:14:07,570
He was really mean
to this woman that he said he loved.
295
00:14:07,570 --> 00:14:11,270
{\an8}To slut shame me and say
yeah, you needed 30 showers,
296
00:14:11,270 --> 00:14:13,530
{\an8}- it's like, well...
- [Adam] Right.
297
00:14:13,530 --> 00:14:15,470
{\an8}- Took me around the world.
- [Adam] Hmm.
298
00:14:15,470 --> 00:14:17,840
{\an8}Like, since when do you
need 30 showers?
299
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,840
Amber Rose goes on a podcast
called No Jumper
300
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,470
and in this interview,
she really lifts the lid
301
00:14:23,470 --> 00:14:25,800
on her former relationship
with Kanye West.
302
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,370
And you just realized
this, you were never gonna be happier
303
00:14:28,370 --> 00:14:30,270
or content
in that environment?
304
00:14:31,100 --> 00:14:32,470
Yeah, I opted out.
305
00:14:32,470 --> 00:14:34,470
I don't want my life
to be like that.
306
00:14:34,470 --> 00:14:35,840
I'm not that type of
person.
307
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,000
Her leaving him
308
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,170
clearly caused him
to have a visceral reaction.
309
00:14:39,170 --> 00:14:42,070
He couldn't control the fact
that Amber Rose wants out.
310
00:14:42,070 --> 00:14:43,370
He has picked on me
for te--
311
00:14:43,370 --> 00:14:45,740
He has bullied me
for ten years.
312
00:14:45,740 --> 00:14:47,270
It's like, bro,
just leave me alone.
313
00:14:47,270 --> 00:14:50,100
When things are good
with Kanye, he...
314
00:14:50,100 --> 00:14:53,200
{\an8}dotes them with gifts
and praise and compliments.
315
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,900
{\an8}- [Kim] This is what
I wake up to, guys. - [Kanye plays piano]
316
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,370
But the moment they decide
that this relationship no longer works for them,
317
00:15:01,370 --> 00:15:02,470
then he turns on them.
318
00:15:08,630 --> 00:15:10,530
[Zan] So, the thing
about Kanye West is,
319
00:15:10,530 --> 00:15:12,600
he's always been
a very outspoken personality
320
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,070
and Kim knew that
when she married him.
321
00:15:14,070 --> 00:15:16,840
And so there were these
kind of public cracks that were happening.
322
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,200
{\an8}There was a time in 2015
when he went on Twitter and was like,
323
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,170
{\an8}I'm $53 million in debt.
324
00:15:22,170 --> 00:15:24,840
{\an8}You know, that's
some publicity that she didn't necessarily wanna have.
325
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,600
{\an8}But he has gone on rant
on the set of SNL.
326
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,740
{\an8}You see, they laughin' at me,
you heard them? They screamed at me.
327
00:15:31,740 --> 00:15:33,430
They bully me.
328
00:15:33,430 --> 00:15:36,970
{\an8}They bullied me backstage,
they said, "Don't go out there with that hat on."
329
00:15:36,970 --> 00:15:40,200
But then, he was also
involuntarily committed in 2016.
330
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,200
So, there had been
these kind of moments
331
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,270
making headlines
and not in a good way for the family.
332
00:15:45,430 --> 00:15:47,270
[Dax] I think she was
embarrassed publicly.
333
00:15:47,270 --> 00:15:49,200
She had this fairytale
image of, like,
334
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,200
I wanna be together
with this man for the rest of my life
335
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:53,570
and raise our children,
336
00:15:53,570 --> 00:15:55,740
and I think that
slipping through her fingers
337
00:15:55,740 --> 00:15:57,100
took a really big
toll on her.
338
00:16:02,700 --> 00:16:05,470
[Jawn] I believe
the downfall for Kanye West
339
00:16:05,470 --> 00:16:10,270
was when he admitted, uh,
in an interview with TMZ in 2018,
340
00:16:10,270 --> 00:16:12,740
that he was no longer
taking his meds
341
00:16:12,740 --> 00:16:14,840
because he did not like
the way it made him feel
342
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,970
and it caused him
to gain weight.
343
00:16:16,970 --> 00:16:20,470
{\an8}I'm takin' two--
hey, everyone listen to this, please.
344
00:16:20,470 --> 00:16:23,530
{\an8}These pills that
they want me to take three of a day,
345
00:16:23,530 --> 00:16:26,170
{\an8}I take one a week,
maybe two a week.
346
00:16:26,170 --> 00:16:29,200
Y'all have me scared
of myself, of my vision.
347
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,000
So I took some pills
so I wouldn't go to hospital
348
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,370
and prove everyone right.
349
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,370
[Jawn] His actions
after that day
350
00:16:36,370 --> 00:16:38,370
really just started
a cycle
351
00:16:38,370 --> 00:16:43,430
of really unpredictable,
uncontrollable Kanye West behavior.
352
00:16:43,430 --> 00:16:44,740
[notification tone beeps]
353
00:16:44,740 --> 00:16:48,000
[Jawn] Then, it just became
something that, on any given day,
354
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,200
and the middle
of the night,
355
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,630
you would wake up
to a Kanye rant on Twitter
356
00:16:51,630 --> 00:16:54,630
with some inappropriate
post on Instagram.
357
00:16:59,740 --> 00:17:03,470
{\an8}[Dax] She then has to respond,
because the world is saying,
358
00:17:03,470 --> 00:17:05,900
"Kim, we see your husband
being wild over here,
359
00:17:05,900 --> 00:17:08,270
{\an8}what do you have to say?"
360
00:17:08,270 --> 00:17:10,970
{\an8}- [Kim] The thing is,
when he gets ramped up-- - He has to do it.
361
00:17:10,970 --> 00:17:12,740
{\an8}- [Kim] He can't control
what he says... - Yeah, let it go.
362
00:17:12,740 --> 00:17:14,470
{\an8}- [Kim] ...he can't
let it go, like-- - Yeah, he can't let it go.
363
00:17:14,470 --> 00:17:17,100
{\an8}But he loves
being ramped up.
364
00:17:17,100 --> 00:17:20,100
He's like,
"I feel powerful when I'm ramped up."
365
00:17:20,100 --> 00:17:22,630
Like, "I don't wanna be,
like, so suppressed."
366
00:17:22,630 --> 00:17:25,740
Like, "Yeah, I say
crazy [bleep], but I've always said crazy [bleep]."
367
00:17:25,740 --> 00:17:28,270
- "But that's why I'm Kanye",
you know? - Kanye, right.
368
00:17:28,270 --> 00:17:32,630
Kim's acknowledging
that Kanye has serious mental health issues,
369
00:17:32,630 --> 00:17:34,740
that he gets ramped up
370
00:17:34,740 --> 00:17:37,000
and instead of that
being a sign
371
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,470
"Oh, maybe I need to
take my medication
372
00:17:39,470 --> 00:17:42,630
and think more
before I say something",
373
00:17:42,630 --> 00:17:45,270
it seems to just
spur him on.
374
00:17:45,270 --> 00:17:48,200
It's your job to be able to
manage your treatments,
375
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,200
whether that's medication,
therapy.
376
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:52,630
Just because you have
something,
377
00:17:52,630 --> 00:17:55,740
it doesn't let you
off the hook for not treating it.
378
00:17:57,270 --> 00:17:59,900
[reporter] Kanye, coming in
strong, come on, Kanye.
379
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:11,700
[Dax] So, there was
a very well-known incident back in 2019
380
00:18:11,700 --> 00:18:15,800
when you see this shift
between Kanye West
381
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,200
styling Kim Kardashian
382
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:22,740
and having all the say-so
in her look, her sexuality, everything.
383
00:18:22,740 --> 00:18:25,570
{\an8}It's kinda like the first time
we see Kim Kardashian
384
00:18:25,570 --> 00:18:28,900
{\an8}her own fashion decisions.
385
00:18:28,900 --> 00:18:31,100
Kanye can come in
and take some with me,
386
00:18:31,100 --> 00:18:32,900
but I definitely
want solos.
387
00:18:32,900 --> 00:18:37,630
[Dax] And on the show
they show the moment that he sees her in it.
388
00:18:37,630 --> 00:18:39,900
You know, last night
I was having really bad anxiety,
389
00:18:39,900 --> 00:18:41,470
and I don't need
any more negative energy
390
00:18:41,470 --> 00:18:44,100
{\an8}for you to now say
that you're not into me wearing a tank dress.
391
00:18:44,100 --> 00:18:45,570
{\an8}[Kanye speaking]
392
00:18:48,970 --> 00:18:51,700
[Kim] You built me up
to have-- be this, like, sexy person
393
00:18:51,700 --> 00:18:53,000
and confidence,
and all this stuff.
394
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,840
- [Kanye] Yeah.
- Just because you're on a journey
395
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,900
and you're on
your transformation
396
00:18:56,900 --> 00:18:59,970
doesn't mean that
I'm in the r-- I'm in the same spot with you.
397
00:18:59,970 --> 00:19:03,070
- So...
- Okay, all right, you know, all right, I'll go.
398
00:19:04,530 --> 00:19:07,200
[Dax] She was like,
you're bringing on a lot of anxiety
399
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,530
before a huge day.
400
00:19:10,530 --> 00:19:13,840
And if you look back
at the photos from the Met Gala,
401
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,200
all eyes were focused
on her,
402
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,470
and he just seems
kinda scowl-y in the background,
403
00:19:19,470 --> 00:19:22,740
like he just didn't approve
of what was happening
404
00:19:22,740 --> 00:19:26,270
I think you see evidence
of Kanye's black and white thinking
405
00:19:26,270 --> 00:19:30,270
by the way that it's either
she's this fantasy creature
406
00:19:30,270 --> 00:19:32,800
or she's terrible.
407
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,900
Because he could
no longer control her,
408
00:19:34,900 --> 00:19:36,970
that was very threatening
for him.
409
00:19:36,970 --> 00:19:39,270
So, he then had
all these negative feelings
410
00:19:39,270 --> 00:19:41,000
that he couldn't
really manage,
411
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,200
and I think that's when
we started to see
412
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,370
his behavior get
more and more scary.
413
00:19:47,370 --> 00:19:48,900
[photographer] Kim,
by yourself, please.
414
00:19:59,270 --> 00:20:01,630
Kim Kardashian had worked
really hard with her family
415
00:20:01,630 --> 00:20:07,100
to build this very controlled
and very precise brand.
416
00:20:07,100 --> 00:20:09,630
And she was in this
professional metamorphosis.
417
00:20:09,630 --> 00:20:11,370
She's someone
who started as
418
00:20:11,370 --> 00:20:14,840
a socialite,
who ended up reality star,
419
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,100
but now she wanted
more credibility.
420
00:20:17,100 --> 00:20:19,170
- Kim Kardashian West.
- [all applauding]
421
00:20:19,170 --> 00:20:22,470
[Dax] That's why she started
to go down the lawyer route,
422
00:20:22,470 --> 00:20:24,570
to actually do good
in this world.
423
00:20:24,570 --> 00:20:25,430
[Kim] Hi.
424
00:20:26,630 --> 00:20:29,200
Um, it really is
such an honor to be here.
425
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:30,530
I just wanna thank
the President
426
00:20:30,530 --> 00:20:32,630
for really standing
behind this issue.
427
00:20:32,630 --> 00:20:35,200
She's meeting
with President Trump to get people out of jail
428
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,200
he's meeting
with President Trump to basically
429
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,000
derail everything
out there.
430
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,470
It was a really weird time
431
00:20:41,470 --> 00:20:44,970
and I think the dynamics
between the two of them were so conflicting
432
00:20:44,970 --> 00:20:47,740
because they just had
different objectives at that time.
433
00:20:48,700 --> 00:20:50,800
She also
was a really good mom.
434
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,470
So, she wanted to maintain
the normalcy of the family life for her kids.
435
00:20:54,470 --> 00:20:59,200
And she knew she had
this erratic, unhealthy, unmedicated husband
436
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,840
who would risk it all
just to prove a point.
437
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:08,570
[Kanye] I gotta let y'all know
438
00:21:08,570 --> 00:21:11,470
{\an8}I'm moving back to Chicago
and I'm never leaving again.
439
00:21:11,470 --> 00:21:12,540
{\an8}[crowd cheering]
440
00:21:13,900 --> 00:21:15,370
{\an8}[Kim] That is so insane...
441
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,470
[Zan] The biggest sign
that Kim and Kanye's marriage was on the rocks,
442
00:21:19,470 --> 00:21:22,200
{\an8}Kim finds out that
Kanye has announced on stage
443
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,200
{\an8}that the whole family's
moving to Chicago.
444
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,440
The thing that set me off
445
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,200
was, okay, that should've been
a conversation
446
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,100
before I see on the internet
you're moving to Chicago.
447
00:21:30,100 --> 00:21:31,840
- I find out--
- [Kanye] No, no, I told you that before.
448
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,100
We had that conversation.
449
00:21:33,100 --> 00:21:34,470
- We all talked about that.
- [Kim] Not a serious conversation.
450
00:21:34,470 --> 00:21:36,740
It was a--
any conversation I have is serious.
451
00:21:36,740 --> 00:21:38,700
I don't joke, I don't play.
452
00:21:38,700 --> 00:21:41,200
[Zan] That's very tough
when your partner is just telling people that
453
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:42,840
you know,
you're gonna pick up and move from a city
454
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,700
that you have deep ties to,
that your family lives in.
455
00:21:45,700 --> 00:21:49,100
{\an8}And she talks in that episode
about him kind of making these unilateral decisions.
456
00:21:49,100 --> 00:21:52,470
{\an8}But he's not really
taking into account what her life needs.
457
00:21:52,470 --> 00:21:55,470
{\an8}Isolation is a form of
coercive control.
458
00:21:55,470 --> 00:21:58,300
{\an8}It's very well-known that
in domestic abuse situations
459
00:21:58,300 --> 00:22:00,670
the abusive partner
will try to prevent
460
00:22:00,670 --> 00:22:03,840
the other partner from seeing
friends and family.
461
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,670
Uh, that helps exert
a lot of control over them
462
00:22:06,670 --> 00:22:09,300
and I think for Kim,
she had to be pretty desperate.
463
00:22:09,300 --> 00:22:11,200
She just never knew
what was gonna come next.
464
00:22:16,740 --> 00:22:19,370
{\an8}[reporter] As the words
rolled off his tongue...
465
00:22:19,370 --> 00:22:22,370
{\an8}I have decided in 2020...
466
00:22:22,370 --> 00:22:23,640
{\an8}[reporter] ...eyes rolled.
467
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,700
{\an8}- [Kanye] ...to run
for President. - [crowd exclaims]
468
00:22:25,700 --> 00:22:27,300
{\an8}The rapper and designer says
469
00:22:27,300 --> 00:22:30,000
{\an8}he's making a run
for the Oval Office.
470
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,470
{\an8}Gives a whole new meaning
to the west wing.
471
00:22:31,470 --> 00:22:32,470
{\an8}- That's--
- [all exclaim]
472
00:22:41,370 --> 00:22:42,640
[Kanye speaking]
473
00:23:01,370 --> 00:23:02,440
[crowd exclaiming]
474
00:23:02,900 --> 00:23:04,540
[applauds]
475
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,470
[crowd murmuring] You didn't.
476
00:23:14,470 --> 00:23:17,940
[Lisa] It was so shocking when
Kanye revealed
477
00:23:17,940 --> 00:23:20,100
that they had considered
an abortion.
478
00:23:20,100 --> 00:23:22,470
What a violation
of Kim's privacy rights.
479
00:23:23,740 --> 00:23:25,840
There's just nothing
to be gained
480
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,300
by him saying that publicly
481
00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:29,170
other than shock value,
482
00:23:29,170 --> 00:23:32,570
getting attention for his
absurd presidential run.
483
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,740
[Zan] One of the Kardashian
sort of tools
484
00:23:35,740 --> 00:23:37,570
is that they just
don't talk about things.
485
00:23:37,570 --> 00:23:40,270
If there's not
a flattering story, they do not give it oxygen.
486
00:23:40,270 --> 00:23:42,370
So one of the reasons
that the South Carolina rally
487
00:23:42,370 --> 00:23:44,540
felt so different
is 'cause Kim did address it.
488
00:23:48,100 --> 00:23:50,470
{\an8}She put up an Instagram post
basically saying,
489
00:23:50,470 --> 00:23:52,800
{\an8}"We're trying to deal
with this as privately as possible,
490
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,740
{\an8}please have patience with us."
491
00:23:58,740 --> 00:24:02,100
For her to admit that
there was a situation that she couldn't control,
492
00:24:02,100 --> 00:24:04,570
there were struggles
that she had and fights that she was fighting,
493
00:24:04,570 --> 00:24:08,200
really let you know that
something very different was happening here.
494
00:24:09,300 --> 00:24:11,100
This was a really
bad situation.
495
00:24:18,300 --> 00:24:22,470
{\an8}I think what really was the...
496
00:24:22,470 --> 00:24:25,570
{\an8}was the nail in the coffin
for their marriage
497
00:24:25,570 --> 00:24:28,300
{\an8}was Kanye West
going on Twitter
498
00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:29,940
{\an8}and going against the family.
499
00:24:29,940 --> 00:24:30,840
{\an8}[notification dings]
500
00:24:34,540 --> 00:24:37,170
{\an8}And then he put up
one tweet in particular
501
00:24:37,170 --> 00:24:40,300
that really, I think,
upset the Kardashian family,
502
00:24:40,300 --> 00:24:44,000
which was he said,
"Kris Jenner tried to lock him up."
503
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,200
"Lock him up."
504
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,800
This was around the time
that Britney Spears' conservatorship
505
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,440
was becoming
a hot topic again,
506
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,570
and we were really
thinking about, you know,
507
00:24:52,570 --> 00:24:53,570
what it means to put
508
00:24:53,570 --> 00:24:55,100
involuntary psychiatric
holds on people.
509
00:24:55,100 --> 00:24:58,470
Um, so there was really
some sense that Kanye was suggesting that
510
00:24:58,470 --> 00:25:02,000
he was maybe gonna be
sort of legally imprisoned by these people.
511
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,570
[Dax] I mean... [sighs]
I think there was
512
00:25:03,570 --> 00:25:05,740
{\an8}a lot of issues
in the marriage,
513
00:25:05,740 --> 00:25:09,740
but I would say
Kanye not seeking
514
00:25:09,740 --> 00:25:14,300
the help that he needed
was probably a big problem between the two of them
515
00:25:14,300 --> 00:25:16,470
because if you're not
willing to help yourself,
516
00:25:16,470 --> 00:25:18,470
then how are you
gonna be a good dad?
517
00:25:18,470 --> 00:25:20,200
How are you gonna be
a good husband?
518
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,940
How are you gonna be
a good person
519
00:25:22,940 --> 00:25:25,740
if you're not worried
about your own mental health?
520
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,840
{\an8}[reporter 1] Hmm, sad news
for Kim and Kanye fans.
521
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,570
{\an8}[reporter 2] This morning,
one of Hollywood's
522
00:25:32,570 --> 00:25:35,940
{\an8}biggest power couples
is calling it quits.
523
00:25:35,940 --> 00:25:38,570
{\an8}It was the biggest
news story on the planet.
524
00:25:38,570 --> 00:25:40,300
{\an8}It made headlines everywhere.
525
00:25:40,300 --> 00:25:41,270
{\an8}According to Forbes,
526
00:25:41,270 --> 00:25:44,200
{\an8}the couple is worth
$2 billion.
527
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,670
{\an8}They have a prenup and now
the heightened attention of all their fans.
528
00:25:47,670 --> 00:25:50,840
{\an8}[reporter] If the divorce
is anything like the marriage,
529
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,440
{\an8}much of it will be
played out in public.
530
00:25:56,570 --> 00:26:00,300
{\an8}Laura Wasser
is a Hollywood attorney
531
00:26:00,300 --> 00:26:05,900
that you pay big bucks to
when you need to get out of a complicated marriage.
532
00:26:05,900 --> 00:26:09,200
[Lisa] They had to be
very tough going up against Kanye
533
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,200
because his behavior was
so erratic and unpredictable.
534
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,300
Any moment, Kanye can
start airing dirty laundry,
535
00:26:15,300 --> 00:26:17,800
he can start
saying things about Kim.
536
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,670
Her reputation is worth
hundreds of millions of dollars.
537
00:26:21,670 --> 00:26:24,440
The amount of dollars
that she gets from Kanye
538
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,000
and the division of property
is a distant second.
539
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,470
And I think for Kim,
she made it clear that
540
00:26:29,470 --> 00:26:31,740
protecting her children,
protecting her family,
541
00:26:31,740 --> 00:26:35,200
and protecting her reputation
were of paramount importance to her.
542
00:26:37,300 --> 00:26:38,670
[Zan] Kanye had been
going through a lot
543
00:26:38,670 --> 00:26:41,440
sort of directly before
this divorce very publicly.
544
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,370
And Kim had been quiet
and Kim had been standing by her man.
545
00:26:44,370 --> 00:26:46,840
{\an8}But since the split,
Kim has talked more and more
546
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,000
{\an8}often using Keeping Up
with the Kardashians
547
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,200
{\an8}about more difficult times
in that marriage.
548
00:26:52,300 --> 00:26:54,700
{\an8}If people knew
what my relationship
549
00:26:54,700 --> 00:26:57,270
{\an8}really was like, I think
they would be like,
550
00:26:57,270 --> 00:26:59,740
{\an8}- "How did this
last this long?" - Yeah.
551
00:26:59,740 --> 00:27:02,100
{\an8}But I can live with myself
552
00:27:02,100 --> 00:27:04,440
{\an8}- knowing that
I tried everything... - [Khloe] Yeah.
553
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:08,270
{\an8}...humanly possible
to make a situation work.
554
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,640
[Lisa] Usually,
there's one party who does not want
555
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,000
to get divorced
and that's the person who drags it out
556
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,800
because they're not really
ready to accept reality.
557
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,570
Kanye's argued that
the prenup was invalid,
558
00:27:27,570 --> 00:27:31,570
that, in general,
in California, prenups are invalid.
559
00:27:31,570 --> 00:27:33,470
None of that makes any sense.
560
00:27:33,470 --> 00:27:36,540
Prenups are definitely
valid in California,
561
00:27:36,540 --> 00:27:39,640
courts enforce them everyday.
562
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,740
It really seems to me
like Kanye was trying to stall
563
00:27:41,740 --> 00:27:43,940
and delay
and muck up the system
564
00:27:43,940 --> 00:27:45,740
to make it go
as slowly as possible
565
00:27:45,740 --> 00:27:47,370
and trying to delay
the inevitable,
566
00:27:47,370 --> 00:27:50,000
which is a divorce
from Kim Kardashian.
567
00:27:51,700 --> 00:27:54,940
But then the second
him and Kim are separate,
568
00:27:54,940 --> 00:27:56,940
he starts dating Julia Fox.
569
00:27:59,170 --> 00:28:02,540
There were photoshoots
of him and Julia, constant posting,
570
00:28:02,540 --> 00:28:05,070
matching outfits
on social media.
571
00:28:05,070 --> 00:28:07,740
[Lisa] Kanye wanted to do
what Kanye wanted to do.
572
00:28:07,740 --> 00:28:09,570
If he wants to date,
he's going to date.
573
00:28:09,570 --> 00:28:13,100
If he wants to slow down
the system, he's going to slow down the system.
574
00:28:13,100 --> 00:28:14,570
He just didn't want
Kim to date.
575
00:28:14,570 --> 00:28:15,840
[piano music playing]
576
00:28:22,100 --> 00:28:23,800
[Dax] Pete Davidson,
here in the US,
577
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,000
he's a huge comedic actor,
578
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,700
{\an8}he's on a television show
called Saturday Night Live.
579
00:28:28,700 --> 00:28:30,570
{\an8}It's so beautiful, Aladdin.
580
00:28:30,570 --> 00:28:31,900
{\an8}I've never gotten
to see what it's like
581
00:28:31,900 --> 00:28:33,670
{\an8}outside of the palace.
582
00:28:33,670 --> 00:28:35,740
{\an8}But it's even better
seeing it with you.
583
00:28:36,700 --> 00:28:38,800
They actually meet
during a filming
584
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,700
when she was hosting
Saturday Night Live.
585
00:28:40,700 --> 00:28:42,270
Now are you gonna
kiss me or not?
586
00:28:42,270 --> 00:28:44,170
They've had this famous kiss
587
00:28:44,170 --> 00:28:46,300
and then they end up
falling for each other.

[audience cheering]

00:28:48,540 --> 00:28:51,000

in such a serious,

sad mood for so long,
591
00:28:53,370 --> 00:28:55,640
and then here comes
Pete Davidson.
592
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,000
I think it was such
a breath of fresh air for her
593
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,740
that she immediately, like,
594
00:29:00,740 --> 00:29:03,200
really, really liked the guy.

{\an8}Oh, Kanye West did not like
597

{\an8}when she got
with Pete Davidson.

He was calling
radio announcers,

00:29:15,370 --> 00:29:18,200
telling them not to support
her being with other people
601
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:19,900
as she was moving on
and wanting to date.
602
00:29:19,900 --> 00:29:21,900

610
00:29:40,270 --> 00:29:41,940
[Zan] Kanye couldn't
have reacted worse
611
00:29:41,940 --> 00:29:44,300
to Kim and Pete
getting together.
612
00:29:44,300 --> 00:29:46,370
He was all over
Twitter and Instagram,
613
00:29:46,370 --> 00:29:48,800
um, gave Pete
the nickname Skete,
614
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,100
just sort of
trash-talking him.
615
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,000
He mocked up a newspaper
616
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,200
indicating that he had
killed Pete Davidson.
617
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,200
[Virginia] What Kanye is doing
with airing all of this stuff
618
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,100
so publicly is very dangerous
619
00:30:01,100 --> 00:30:03,470
because he has all these fans
620
00:30:03,470 --> 00:30:05,570
who emulate his behavior.
621
00:30:05,570 --> 00:30:07,570
So it could really
put Kim at risk,
622
00:30:07,570 --> 00:30:09,740
it could have put
Pete at risk.
623
00:30:09,740 --> 00:30:11,900
And it's also, you know,

go on to treat the women
625

{\an8}in their lives
in a similar way
626
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,740
because their hero
has told them that this is how a man behaves.
627
00:30:24,300 --> 00:30:25,900
[Lisa] If I were Laura Wasser,
628
00:30:25,900 --> 00:30:29,570
I would definitely have
used Kanye's social media posts against him.
629
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,900
Inciting your fans
to harm Pete Davidson
630
00:30:34,900 --> 00:30:38,800
is very dangerous
and potentially criminal behavior.
631
00:30:42,300 --> 00:30:46,100
You want the judge to see
that the other side is behaving very badly,
632
00:30:46,100 --> 00:30:49,800
my side is behaving
ethically and respectfully
633
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,000
because you want
the judge to see what's really going on here.

{\an8}But I'm here to change
that narrative.

{\an8}Kanye demonstrated that
he was unwilling to accept
640
00:31:20,570 --> 00:31:21,840
{\an8}the marriage was over
in a lot of ways.
641
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,540
He was going out in public
and doing these events,

making these increasingly
outrageous statements.
643
00:31:27,270 --> 00:31:30,940
He has been very clear
that he's not happy about this divorce.
644
00:31:30,940 --> 00:31:33,840
He absolutely wants Kim
to be his and only his.

How could you say no to something like that?
648
00:31:48,470 --> 00:31:51,540
Um, well, the answer
is because she doesn't want to, right? [chuckles]

00:32:31,300 --> 00:32:34,940
but because Kanye was
delaying the case so long,
664
00:32:34,940 --> 00:32:37,570
Kim needed to send
a message to Kanye
665
00:32:37,570 --> 00:32:41,100
that there was no hope
for reconciliation
666
00:32:41,100 --> 00:32:43,740
and that they should start
working on the children
667
00:32:43,740 --> 00:32:45,800
and how to divide
their assets.
668
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:51,200
But Kanye was desperate
to keep this marriage together at all costs.
669
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,540
[Zan] Kanye's behavior
definitely came off as creepy.
670
00:32:53,540 --> 00:32:56,040
And he was just absolutely
unwilling to accept what was happening.
671
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,370
Kanye bought the house
across the street from her
672
00:32:59,370 --> 00:33:01,570
extensively so he could
see the kids, but also then,
673
00:33:01,570 --> 00:33:03,570
he's keeping an eye
on her comings and going,
674
00:33:03,570 --> 00:33:05,940
giving you the sense
of "I will not leave you alone.
675
00:33:05,940 --> 00:33:09,470
There's nothing you can say
including 'I wanna legally separate myself from you'
676
00:33:09,470 --> 00:33:12,540
that will convince me
not to pursue you."
677
00:33:12,540 --> 00:33:16,300
Around Valentine's Day,
he had trucks of flowers delivered to Kim's house.
678
00:33:16,300 --> 00:33:18,640
[Virginia] These big
showy romantic gestures.
679
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,900
to me, don't seem
romantic at all.
680
00:33:20,900 --> 00:33:24,100
{\an8}It's very attention-seeking,
681
00:33:24,100 --> 00:33:25,740
{\an8}it's love bombing.
682
00:33:25,740 --> 00:33:27,800
And love bombing,
it's not about love,
683
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:32,270
it's about flooding
the other person with attention
684
00:33:32,270 --> 00:33:34,470
so that you can
then control them.
685
00:33:34,470 --> 00:33:36,300
It's just this
relentless pattern
686
00:33:36,300 --> 00:33:39,100
of trying to wear
her down emotionally,
687
00:33:39,100 --> 00:33:41,570
so apparently,
she would come back to him.
688
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,840
[Zan] It's hard to imagine
a motive for all of Kanye's legal wrangling
689
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,470
other than just wanting
to drag it out
690
00:33:52,470 --> 00:33:54,270
as long as possible
to stay married to Kim.
691
00:33:54,270 --> 00:33:58,400
The divorce felt like
another reflection of his controlling behavior.
692
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,200
Kanye had a narrative
of he was a jilted husband
693
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,200
and Kim moved on
694
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,470
and she had
a new relationship,
695
00:34:05,470 --> 00:34:08,640
that Kim is trying to take
the children from him.
696
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,840
{\an8}And North is like,
"I wanna...
697
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,400
{\an8}I-- I want you to come
upstairs and see something."
698
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,040
{\an8}And it's like, "Oh, Daddy
can't come inside."
699
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,940
{\an8}And I'm hearing that
the new boyfriend is actually in the house
700
00:34:19,940 --> 00:34:22,200
that I can't even go to.
701
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,300
And ain't no security
gonna get in between me and my children.
702
00:34:25,300 --> 00:34:28,270
In this interview,
Kanye is saying that
703
00:34:28,270 --> 00:34:31,770
this is about the children,
that he's not allowed to participate.
704
00:34:31,770 --> 00:34:33,540
But it's really
not about the kids.
705
00:34:33,540 --> 00:34:35,540
It's about him needing
to control everything
706
00:34:35,540 --> 00:34:40,040
and so he's launched
this terrorism campaign
707
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,400
so that he can
stay psychologically engaged with her
708
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:47,000
and the children stay
kind of in the middle of a war zone.
709
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:03,900
[Neama] In a filing,
Kim references harassment by Kanye.
710
00:35:03,900 --> 00:35:08,270
{\an8}And she says, "I very much
desire to be divorced."
711
00:35:08,270 --> 00:35:11,270
{\an8}Kanye has been putting
a lot of misinformation
712
00:35:11,270 --> 00:35:13,670
{\an8}regarding our private
family matters
713
00:35:13,670 --> 00:35:16,000
{\an8}and co-parenting
on social media,
714
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,570
{\an8}which has created
emotional distress.
715
00:35:18,570 --> 00:35:21,800
I believe that the court
terminating our marital status
716
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:26,400
will help Kanye to accept
that our marital relationship is over
717
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,800
and to move forward
on a better path.
718
00:35:33,470 --> 00:35:37,640
{\an8}I heard directly from
Kim Kardashian's inner circle
719
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,370
{\an8}of how this divorce
was affecting her.
720
00:35:43,900 --> 00:35:47,540
Nightmares,
couldn't go to sleep,
721
00:35:47,540 --> 00:35:50,800
anxiety, issues,
relationship issues,
722
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,470
confidence issues,
you name it.
723
00:35:53,470 --> 00:35:55,100
That was real pain.
724
00:35:55,100 --> 00:35:59,670
I think she felt that,
you know, besides everything that they'd gone through,
725
00:35:59,670 --> 00:36:01,540
Kanye was her best friend.
726
00:36:02,570 --> 00:36:05,040
You know, I don't think
she ever expected
727
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,940
to go through a tug of war.
728
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,200
{\an8}It makes you uncomfortable,
man, because I see a woman
729
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,300
{\an8}who wants to live her life
without being harassed.
730
00:36:17,300 --> 00:36:20,040
{\an8}What she's going through
is terrifying to watch
731
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,400
{\an8}and it shines a spotlight
732
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,570
{\an8}on what so many women
go through
733
00:36:24,570 --> 00:36:26,800
when they choose to leave.
You know, people always say that phrase,
734
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,570
to women, they go like,
"Why didn't you leave?
735
00:36:28,570 --> 00:36:30,670
Oh, why didn't you leave,
why didn't you leave?"
736
00:36:30,670 --> 00:36:33,800
Yeah, because a lot of women
realize when they do leave,
737
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,170
the guy will get even crazier.
738
00:36:36,170 --> 00:36:38,400
[Zan] Trevor Noah,
as the host of The Daily Show,
739
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,670
was really one of the first
people to sort of call
740
00:36:40,670 --> 00:36:43,100
Kanye's behavior for what
it was, which was harassment.
741
00:36:43,100 --> 00:36:45,170
It's certainly been voices,
you know, on Twitter,
742
00:36:45,170 --> 00:36:47,540
various places,
people expressing concern,
743
00:36:47,540 --> 00:36:50,570
but he was the first really
big public voice
744
00:36:50,570 --> 00:36:53,300
to say there are people
behind these stories,
745
00:36:53,300 --> 00:36:55,670
um, and something kind of
scary is happening here.
746
00:36:55,670 --> 00:36:59,040
And it's demonstrating
to women that you can leave a man
747
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,170
and have him still pursue you.
And we're giving a really
748
00:37:01,170 --> 00:37:03,840
bad message to women who are
in abusive relationships
749
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,100
when we condone this
behavior and write it off.
750
00:37:13,270 --> 00:37:16,900
{\an8}[reporter] Kim Kardashian
is no longer Mrs. West.
751
00:37:16,900 --> 00:37:18,200
{\an8}It really dropped
like an anvil,
752
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:19,540
{\an8}it was a huge deal
753
00:37:19,540 --> 00:37:21,040
{\an8}in the sort of celebrity
news world.
754
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,370
{\an8}[reporter 1] Judge granted
Kim's bifurcation request
755
00:37:23,370 --> 00:37:25,670

for the hearing.

768
00:37:59,300 --> 00:38:03,840
{\an8}who had nothing to do
with the dissolution of his marriage.
769
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,270
They've got four kids.
She's trying to block her kids
770
00:38:07,270 --> 00:38:10,840
from all the craziness
that their dad was putting her through
771
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,000
and I think it was
exhausting for her.
772
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,570
[Zan] Kanye posting his
screenshots of text messages
773
00:38:16,570 --> 00:38:18,200
she sent him,
you know, saying,
774
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,200
"This is really scary
and someone's gonna get hurt
775
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:21,670
if you don't stop doing this."
776
00:38:24,170 --> 00:38:27,100
[Virginia] I think
Kanye's tactic is to wear her down.
777
00:38:27,100 --> 00:38:29,470
It was just relentless.
He just kept at her.
778
00:38:29,470 --> 00:38:33,200
{\an8}This pattern of behavior
seems to me to be
779
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,670
{\an8}such a sign of grandiosity
that you would think that
780
00:38:36,670 --> 00:38:38,040
{\an8}you could get away with this.
781
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,300
It won't have an impact
on your divorce case,
782
00:38:40,300 --> 00:38:42,470
that it doesn't
make you look like
783
00:38:42,470 --> 00:38:44,900
perhaps not
the most fit parent.
784
00:38:44,900 --> 00:38:47,770
So it indicates that
he's not really
785
00:38:47,770 --> 00:38:50,100
in touch with reality.
786
00:38:53,140 --> 00:38:55,010
[Jawn] I've consistently
said throughout the years
787
00:38:55,010 --> 00:38:58,310
{\an8}that if the Kanye West that
we've been seeing in public
788
00:38:58,310 --> 00:39:00,570
is as repulsive as he is,
789
00:39:00,570 --> 00:39:03,040
imagine living with him
behind closed doors.
790
00:39:11,370 --> 00:39:12,640

{\an8}you always protect him

- [Jawn] What you see in this clip is
795
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,940
Kim is working really hard
to keep some normalcy for her kids.
796
00:39:23,940 --> 00:39:28,400
I always want my kids to just
see the best of the best.
797
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:32,040
So I just try to, as hard
as it can be sometimes,
798
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:33,140
I do try to ignore it
799
00:39:33,140 --> 00:39:35,370
and just try to do
whatever's best for the kids.
800
00:39:35,370 --> 00:39:38,670
[Neama] The case became
messy because of the children.
801
00:39:38,670 --> 00:39:40,310
Kim's living in California,
802
00:39:40,310 --> 00:39:42,570
{\an8}Kanye is in Wyoming.
803
00:39:42,570 --> 00:39:45,640
{\an8}It's physically impossible
for the children
804
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,470
{\an8}to be in both places at once.
805
00:39:49,940 --> 00:39:54,310
{\an8}The legal drama spills
over into social media.
806
00:39:54,310 --> 00:39:57,210
{\an8}I'm just wishing my daughter
a public "Happy Birthday".
807
00:39:57,210 --> 00:40:00,670
{\an8}I wasn't allowed to know
where her party was.
808
00:40:00,670 --> 00:40:03,840
{\an8}Kanye was going out there,
putting out to the public that
809
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,040
Kim was making him
jump through hoops,
810
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:07,870
making him take drug tests.
811
00:40:07,870 --> 00:40:09,740
She wasn't inviting him
to the birthday parties.
812
00:40:10,370 --> 00:40:12,570
And Kim responded. She's like,
813
00:40:12,570 --> 00:40:14,370
"You were invited
to birthday parties.
814
00:40:14,370 --> 00:40:17,310
You were here this morning
picking up the kids,
815
00:40:17,310 --> 00:40:20,940
so don't go out there
and look like the victim when that's not the case.
816
00:40:20,940 --> 00:40:24,270
And I very much had you
involved with the kids' life.
817
00:40:30,270 --> 00:40:33,900
{\an8}I saw Kanye really behaving
like an emotional terrorist
818
00:40:33,900 --> 00:40:37,140
because he bullied her
through social media
819
00:40:37,140 --> 00:40:40,940
with these crazy texts and...
820
00:40:40,940 --> 00:40:44,570
Twitter rants that he went on.
I mean, they were violent.
821
00:40:44,570 --> 00:40:48,140
It was really emotionally
abusive behavior.
822
00:40:48,140 --> 00:40:52,770
He just seems on attack
with Kim all the time.
823
00:40:54,470 --> 00:40:59,210
And it's never anything
that he did to contribute to the problem.
824
00:40:59,210 --> 00:41:02,140
Clearly, what it does
is it damages her reputation
825
00:41:02,140 --> 00:41:03,840
but it gets him
so much attention.
826
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:05,570
It's sort of trying
to paint himself
827
00:41:05,570 --> 00:41:08,370
as the victim
in the public's eyes.
828
00:41:08,370 --> 00:41:09,310
[camera shutters clicking]
829
00:41:12,570 --> 00:41:14,370
[Dax] Kim had
finally had enough
830
00:41:14,370 --> 00:41:16,640
and she goes on Instagram
and really sounds on--
831
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,210
{\an8}Let me pull up the quote.
It says,
832
00:41:19,140 --> 00:41:20,770
{\an8}[Dax reading]
833
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,470
I think that was really
Kim saying,
834
00:41:54,470 --> 00:41:58,140
"Kanye, please be done,
close your mouth.
835
00:41:58,140 --> 00:42:01,370
Let us move on in peace.
We have children together."
836
00:42:01,370 --> 00:42:04,840
{\an8}- I definitely protected him.
- [Angie] Mmm-hmm.
837
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,400
{\an8}No matter what is happening
in the world, like,
838
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,840
{\an8}- I have to have
that, you know... - [Angie] Hmm.
839
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,270
{\an8}...smile on my face
and blast his music
840
00:42:12,270 --> 00:42:13,940
and sing along with my kids
841
00:42:13,940 --> 00:42:15,770
and act like nothing's wrong,
you know.
842
00:42:15,770 --> 00:42:19,310
As soon as I drop them off,
I can have a good cry or, you know,
843
00:42:19,310 --> 00:42:21,770
text back
and do what I gotta do.
844
00:42:23,270 --> 00:42:25,210
One of the most telling things
she said was
845
00:42:25,210 --> 00:42:28,110
she'll be in the car
taking her kids to school
846
00:42:28,110 --> 00:42:30,210
and they're listening
to Kanye's music
847
00:42:30,210 --> 00:42:33,400
and she sings along with them.
848
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,670
Because she wants them
to think back on their childhood and think,
849
00:42:36,670 --> 00:42:40,310
"Yeah, my mom
supported my dad."
850
00:42:40,310 --> 00:42:42,500
I had the best dad
851
00:42:42,500 --> 00:42:44,210
I had-- [softly] I don't
wanna get emotional.
852
00:42:44,210 --> 00:42:47,570
- Aw.
- [crying] It's just been a day for me.
853
00:42:47,570 --> 00:42:50,400
- Co-parenting, it's really
fucking hard, you know? - Mmm-hmm.
854
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,500
Part of why she's making
the choices she's making
855
00:42:53,500 --> 00:42:56,940
with co-parenting is to help
her children have
856
00:42:56,940 --> 00:43:00,670
some of the good feelings
that she had in childhood with their own father.
857
00:43:00,670 --> 00:43:03,670
But at some point,
they're bound to see some of the texts
858
00:43:03,670 --> 00:43:07,310
that their father wrote,
or the things that he put on Twitter
859
00:43:07,310 --> 00:43:09,840
and that's a terrible position
for a child to be in.
860
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:10,770
[notification dings]
861
00:43:16,310 --> 00:43:17,270

{\an8}Kim Kardashian's
number one love right now is her children.
863
00:43:28,210 --> 00:43:31,010
Imagine you have
billions of people reading
864
00:43:31,010 --> 00:43:33,640
the most horrific messages
about you.
865
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:38,770
Painful messages ripping
your entire family apart.
866
00:43:39,310 --> 00:43:41,500
And during this time,
867
00:43:41,500 --> 00:43:44,210
she's still
looking after the kids.
868
00:43:44,210 --> 00:43:46,870
While Dad is attacking me,
869
00:43:46,870 --> 00:43:49,210
I am being a mum
870
00:43:49,210 --> 00:43:52,010
and looking after
our children.
871
00:43:52,010 --> 00:43:55,400
There's not many women
out there
872
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:59,210
that could take that level
of abuse publicly.
873
00:44:04,770 --> 00:44:07,670
By October 2022,
there was no settlement
874
00:44:07,670 --> 00:44:10,940
and judge Cochran
set the case for trial.
875
00:44:10,940 --> 00:44:13,140
[Lisa] Laura Wasser
had to be thinking,
876
00:44:13,140 --> 00:44:15,110
"This is not good for Kim.
877
00:44:15,110 --> 00:44:18,040
{\an8}We do not want to go to trial,
let's try to resolve it."
878
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,670
So there's the court
of public opinion and then there's the court of law.
879
00:44:21,670 --> 00:44:25,310
The court of public opinion
is probably more important to Kim
880
00:44:25,310 --> 00:44:28,310
than the court of law.
She has her reputation.
881
00:44:28,310 --> 00:44:32,500
Once that trial date is set,
we have a ticking clock
882
00:44:32,500 --> 00:44:35,400
and both sides are motivated
to get this thing settled
883
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,040
before they have to show up
at the courthouse doors.
884
00:44:42,500 --> 00:44:43,900
{\an8}[reporter] Most recently,
it has been his
885
00:44:43,900 --> 00:44:46,310
{\an8}controversial behavior
getting attention.
886
00:44:46,310 --> 00:44:48,770
{\an8}Anti-Semitic posts
and interviews

{\an8}spreading conspiracy theories
about Jewish control

{\an8}over the media and government.

Hateful rhetoric now being
echoed by a celebrity
890
00:44:56,570 --> 00:44:58,470
with tens of millions
of followers.
891
00:44:58,470 --> 00:45:00,770
- [notification dings]
- [Dax] There was this tweet he put up,
892
00:45:00,770 --> 00:45:04,640
going death con 3
on all the Jews.
893
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:06,740
And it really
894
00:45:07,470 --> 00:45:09,570
put him in a negative light.
895
00:45:09,570 --> 00:45:13,010
The backlash was huge,
the media came after him.
896
00:45:13,010 --> 00:45:16,310
This is really all about
standing up against hate speech.
897
00:45:16,310 --> 00:45:19,010
- Nothing you're saying
has anything to do with-- - My brilliant idea-- Ay, boy.
898
00:45:19,010 --> 00:45:21,400
- Ay, boy. Ay, boy.
- Don't call me boy.
899
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,640
Don't finish-- I told you.
900
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:25,210
Oh, and don't treat me
like a boy then.
901
00:45:25,210 --> 00:45:27,310
- I'm not.
- I'mma finish my sentence and my idea.
902
00:45:27,310 --> 00:45:28,670
Nothing you're saying
has got anything...
903
00:45:28,670 --> 00:45:30,110
- Do not, okay.
- ...to do with the tweet.
904
00:45:30,110 --> 00:45:32,400
[Jawn] Kim was trying her best
to be supportive of Kanye
905
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,870
even when he was
falling apart in public.
906
00:45:34,870 --> 00:45:38,040
But I think even she had
to say, "Enough is enough."

[Dax] Kim and Kanye
are officially divorced

and the assets
have been divided.

It's actually
a pretty fair settlement.

Uh, she gets to keep
the Calabasas house

get to keep the bulk of both of their fortune.

of Kanye's bad behavior,
916
00:46:29,140 --> 00:46:33,010
he got off very lightly
without even a slap on the wrist.
917
00:46:33,010 --> 00:46:35,210
That's because Kim just
wanted this to be over with.

a big public trial.

just in time.

She got out just before
every brand dropped Kanye.

She escaped from being
associated with that.

[Kim] I am the one
