Kanye West’s failed presidential run was “the last straw” for Kim Kardashian, who had previously fought to save their troubled marriage.
Page Six exclusively revealed that the couple are now headed for divorce after nearly seven years of marriage – and his bizarre presidential campaign made Kim realize she “had to end the marriage for the sake of her children and her own sanity,” told a source . Page six.
West’s selfish bid began with an insane speech last July in which he falsely claimed that Harriet Tubman “never really freed the slaves.”
That same month, he also called momager Kris Jenner on Twitter “Kris Jong-Un” and claimed the Kardashians were trying to force him into psychiatric treatment.
A second source told us of Kim’s reaction to Kanye’s presidential run: “She never came out publicly and supported him. Her silence spoke volumes. He finally gave in on November 3.
The first source continued, “Kim really supported Kanye through his struggles with his mental health. But she knows she has to do the right thing for her children. “
Kim has hired power divorce attorney Laura Wasser, who helps her negotiate a confidential settlement before filing for divorce. She and Kanye have a pre-nup, but they haven’t gotten to the point where they have to sort out their finances or custody, the source added.
Despite a Twitter campaign for Kim to date with CNN’s Van Jones, she doesn’t see anyone else.
A source says, “She’s not dating anyone because if she was, it would be a career move. She can’t go to restaurants on dates and have paparazzi right now [due to the pandemic]. She can’t go out quietly; she doesn’t even understand what that would be like. “
Another source close to Kardashian told us things are amicable. “We’re talking about someone who is already one of the most famous people in the world … she doesn’t need anyone to make her more famous.”
‘There is no war going on. They’ve been through a lot for a while now, in recent months, ”said the insider.
‘This is not about one thing. There are things that have accumulated over time and created distance between them. “
