Kim Kardashian sheds light on Kanye divorce amid recent antisemitic acts
The 44-year-old reality star opens up about the demise of the marriage, which lasted from 2014 until 2021, in the Feb. 13 episode of 'The Kardashians.'
Kardashian shared that 'the hardest part' of a devolving relationship is 'when you don't foresee something happening that really changes a person's personality and then they're not the same person and you can't ever get that person back, but you can't live with the new person.'
The Skims founder, who shares four children with the rapper now legally known as Ye, filed for divorce in early 2021. Their divorce was finalized in late 2022. He promptly married Yeezy architectural designer (and Kardashian lookalike) Bianca Censori in January 2023.
'It's tougher when you don't want your marriage to end off of personal reasons but circumstances that force your marriage to end,' Kardashian said in a confessional. 'When you weren't planning on that and that's not really the outcome you want but there's no other option, I think it makes it harder to get over.'
The episode comes on the heels of 47-year-old Ye's latest antisemitic screed, which began the evening of Feb. 6 and lasted into the late morning hours of Feb. 7. In the rant, Ye declared himself a Nazi, and praised Hitler as well as referring to himself as 'Yaydolf Yitler.'
He also used homophobic slurs, dubbed slavery 'a choice.' He has also been sued by a Jewish employee for allegedly bullying Jewish staffers.
At the time Kardashian and West's relationship was falling apart, he was losing favor after repeated antisemitic and racism rants. Many attributed the volatility with West's struggle with bipolar disorder, though last week, between the Grammys stunt and X outburst, he told 'The Download' podcast that he has been rediagnosed with autism, not bipolar disorder.
This week, West doubled down on his bigotry by selling swastika T-shirts on a now-defunct Shopify website.

Taylor Swift pulled out pricey accessories to announce her next era, including an $11,400 necklace
Taylor Swift announced her 12th album in a podcast clip released on Tuesday morning. Swift wore luxe jewelry for the occasion, including a Cartier watch and necklace. Diamonds and gold have become staples of the superstar's understated wardrobe. Even in her new era, Taylor Swift remains bejeweled. At 12:12 a.m. on Tuesday, the superstar announced her 12th studio album, "The Life of a Showgirl," in a teaser for the coming episode of "New Heights," a podcast hosted by her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his brother, Jason Kelce. The full episode will be released on Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET. In the clip, Swift looks unexpectedly casual. Her hair is styled in loose waves, her signature red lip has been replaced with an orange hue, and she's wearing a white, button-up blouse. That's because she let her jewelry do all the talking. The flashiest piece she wore for the podcast appearance appears to be a Santos Demoiselle watch from Cartier. The luxury brand doesn't currently sell the model, but it's listed on resale websites at prices between $17,000 and $27,000. Her Panthère de Cartier necklace was a close competitor. It retails for $11,400 and is made with a mix of 18-carat yellow gold, a tsavorite garnet stone, and 19 diamonds. She's worn it before on dates with Travis Kelce in New York City. She also wore an assortment of nondescript rings, a gold bracelet, and a sold-out, tan version of Sandy Liang's Paris skort, which costs $625. Swift, of course, is constantly decked out in extravagant jewels and designer pieces. Many will remember her daring Grammys outfit earlier this year, which included a corseted minidress and a leg chain with a T initial charm. She designed the ruby piece with Lorraine Schwartz. Her wardrobe last year was even more glamorous and was estimated to be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. She wore $108,000 worth of diamond earrings at the 2024 Golden Globes, a $75,000 outfit to a Chiefs game, and $66,000 worth of clothes and accessories for a friend's wedding, among other looks. We don't know the details yet, but something about Swift's coming era seems different — maybe even more relaxed. After all, she announced this new album in a podcast teaser. Her fashion, though, seems to be the same: simple, striking, and undeniably luxe. Read the original article on Business Insider Solve the daily Crossword

A lively novel based on a real crime in midcentury Hollywood
Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Post-tragedy Kup and his flamboyant wife, Essee, 'dropped' Lou and his spouse Babs, 'like a pair of old shoes.' The abrupt rift enthralls Jed Rosenthal, Lou and Babs's grandson, a writing professor at Loyola in Chicago. Jed was born seven years after Cookie's death, but he's obsessed with the Kupcinets; in 2019 he embarks on an 'autofiction,' sleuthing among the cold case. He's separated from his partner, Hanna, and co-parenting, sort of, their toddler Leah. Hanna has banished him to an austere apartment where he holes up with his cat, Rudy. She's moved on. 'Hanna used to say that I loved nothing more than to wallow,' Jed notes. 'I don't dispute this. I'm a champion wallower. But I do believe there's a difference between wallowing and trying to claw your way back in time.' Advertisement Jed's quest to discover what happened to Cookie takes him from his office to the salons of East Lake Shore Drive to Tinseltown archives where Cookie's records are housed. Some pages are composed of a single paragraph, creating space for the author to stretch his narrative muscles. His voice is strong and clear, peppered with Jewish sarcasm; his dialogue is its own kibitz, digressions that reveal clues. Beneath his characters' banter lurks an enduring fear: the fate of Jews in a hostile gentile nation. Advertisement Jed pores over Kup's scrapbooks; Orner includes bits and pieces here, a faded publicity photo, a summer-stock playbill. Cookie's autopsy indicated she'd been strangled, yet there was also a hint she'd died intentionally by swallowing pills. Which version is true? The similar circumstances of Marilyn Monroe's death the previous year, Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby, Mob bosses, J. Edgar Hoover's FBI: all these paranoia-rich strands weave together in 'The Gossip Columnist's Daughter.' Among Orner's cast the newspaperman stands out. A 'buffoonish worshiper of Bing and Bob and Frank,' Irving Kupcinet (1912-2003) tirelessly worked his contacts, filing six columns per week. A mention would beam a light onto celebrities, criminals, politicians, thespians, business machers, even other journalists. Orner does right by Kup's forceful if terse personality, his all-too-human sorrow. Advertisement Jed has conversations in his head with his smart-alecky cat; his smart-alecky sister, Lucy; and smart-alecky, long-deceased Cookie. He's drawn to Cookie, her dusky ingenue looks and bad romances; his own paeans to Saul Bellow mimic her pseudo-intellectual patter on Bertrand Russell and Bernard Baruch. In a novel about conspiracy theories, the dead conspire with the living, helping us to navigate our time on earth. The pace quickens as Jed conjures Cookie's last months. In July 1963 an actor friend drives her to Tijuana for an abortion; on the return trip he nods off at the wheel but corrects: 'The jolt wakes Cookie. Her sweat-drenched face is stuck to the seat. She peels it off the leather. 'Whoa there, partner.' Barely a whisper. Sudden, disembodied. Like her voice comes to me some nights. A little hoarse, parched. One thing all our dead must have in common is thirst.' Related : The feud between the Kupcinets and the Rosenthals is a frame or setup for the crime's toll on future generations, Orner's salute to the hardboiled fictions of James M. Cain and James Ellroy, whose memoir of his mother's murder, 'My Dark Places,' serves as a model for 'The Gossip Columnist's Daughter.' In an imaginary exchange Rudy asks Jed a rhetorical question: 'Isn't your whole point — if you had a point, which you don't — that families lie to themselves, and these lies get handed down as love.' Yet the book isn't just a tale about entwined Chicago families or commentary on a diaspora people. Paranoia is pure American, older than the Constitution — the northern states, for instance, denounced the three-fifths compromise as a Southern play for dominance. Orner knows this well. His novel derives its evocative power from the language of duplicity and disinformation, the callous ways we talk past each other, stunted in echo chambers of our making. The rest is gossip. Advertisement THE GOSSIP COLUMNIST'S DAUGHTER By Peter Orner Little, Brown, 448 pages, $28 Hamilton Cain is a book critic and the author of a memoir, 'This Boy's Faith: Notes from a Southern Baptist Upbringing.'
