In July 2020, West suggested he wanted a divorce in a troubling series of tweets that referenced, among other things, Kardashian’s 2018 meeting with Meek Mill at a criminal justice reform summit and her efforts to “lock him up.”
Then, Kardashian issued a statement about West’s mental health: “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.” She continued, “I kindly ask that the media and public give us the compassion and empathy that is needed so that we can get through this.”
