Kim Kardashian is seen breaking down in tears over her ex-husband Kanye West's antisemitic remarks in the latest episode of Hulu's The Kardashians on Disney+. The reality star expresses
guilt over her public support for the Jewish community on Twitter, fearing that her actions led to West being dropped by his agency CAA and MRC, as well as losing sponsorships with Adidas and Balenciaga.
Kim confides in her sister Khloé Kardashian, questioning whether her social media post was to blame for the consequences. She admits to being conflicted and unsure of how to handle the situation emotionally. She feels angry and sad, torn between wanting to cut ties with West and considering the impact on their children. She finds it challenging to navigate the situation.
Khloé consoles her sister, assuring her that it is not her fault. She highlights West's refusal to retract his remarks and emphasizes that Kim's actions were unrelated to the current events. Khloé acknowledges the gravity of the situation and the responsibility that comes with having a large following.
In a private moment to the camera, Khloé expresses her heartbreak over seeing Kim in pain and affirms her family's support for the Jewish community. She condemns West's antisemitic views and acknowledges the influence of his words on others.
The consequences of West's hate speech are evident in an updated FBI report, which shows that over 51% of religion-related hate crimes in 2023 targeted Jews, making them the most targeted religious group in America. Public demonstrations, including a group raising their arms in a Nazi salute and displaying a banner reading "Kanye is right about the Jews," further illustrate the impact of West's words.
Kim reflects on her children's well-being and expresses concern over their relationship with their father. She feels protective and worried about potential reactions or confrontations. She shares her desire for her children to have a healthy relationship with their dad but grapples with uncertainty and anxiety.
Kim admits to being confused by the drastic change in West's behavior and longs for the person she initially fell in love with. She expresses sympathy for him, feeling that he may not even realize the extent of his actions. Kim's focus is on her children's perception of their father and ensuring their safety.
In October 2022, Kim Kardashian publicly denounced hate speech and stood in solidarity with the Jewish community on Twitter. She called for an end to violence and hateful rhetoric towards Jews. Meanwhile, Kanye West has a significant following on Twitter, and there are an estimated 14.8 million Jews worldwide. Photo by Eva Rinaldi, Wikimedia commons.
