Kim Kardashian-West has taken to her Instagram story to beg us all to have compassion for her… hold on…

Hey, Google! How much is Kanye West worth?

Google’s response:

"NYE WEST / NET WORTH 
1.3 billio USD 
Jeff Kravitz 
K'ANYE

She wants y’all to have compassion for her billionaire husband. Look, I’m a writer, but I’m not James Baldwin or Toni Morrison. I wont beat you over the head with anti-Capitalist rhetoric, but please, if there’s anything you take from me, let it be that you are not required to have compassion for a billionaire. He’ll be fine without your compassion. He can’t hear your compassionate replies from on top of all that money. But, in case you want to hear her out, here’s what she posted:

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. I' ve never 
spoken publicly about how 
this has affected us at 
home because I am very 
protective of our children 
and Kanye' s right to 
privacy when it comes to 
his health. But today, I 
feel like I should comment 
on it because of the stigma 
and misconceptions about 
mental health. 
Those that unders tand 
mental illness or even 
compulsive behavior know 
that the family is 
powerless unless the member 
is a minor. People who are 
unaware or far removed from 
this experience can be 
judgmental and not 
understand that the 
individual themselves have 
to engage in the process of 
getting help no matter how 
hard family and friends 
Send Message
I understand Kanye is 
subject to criticism 
because he is a public 
figure and his actions at 
times can cause strong 
opinions and emotions. He 
is a brilliant but 
complicated person who on 
top of the pressures of 
being an artist and a black 
man, who experienced the 
painful loss of his mother , 
and has to deal with the 
pressure and isolation that 
is heightened by his bi- 
polar disorder. Those who 
are close with Kanye know 
his heart and understand 
his words some times do not 
align with his intentions . 
Living with bi—polar 
disorder does not diminish 
or invalidate his dreams 
and his creative ideas, no 
matter how big or 
unobtainable they may feel 
to some. That is part of 
his genius and as we have 
all witnessed, many of his 
xg reams ave come rue . 
Send Message
We as a society talk about 
giving grace to the issue 
of mental health as a 
whole, however we should 
also give it to the 
individuals who are living 
with it in times when they 
need it the most. I kindly 
ask that the media and 
public give us the 
compassion and empathy that 
is needed so that we can 
get through this . Thank 
you for those who have 
expressed concern for 
Kanye' s well being and for 
your unders tanding. 
With Love and Gratitude , 
Kim Kardashian West

So, it seems that Kim Kardashian can recognize that he’s a Black man now. That’s great. Except that there are plenty of Black men in the world who don’t, bipolar or not, verbally attack Black women in crowds. I implore you, readers, please save your compassion for the bipolar people who don’t have the resources that Kanye does.

Rolling Ray Undergoes Surgery After Wig Catches On Fire

Published

on

Social media star Rolling Ray underwent surgery Tuesday morning to treat serious burns on his body after his terrible wig accident last week. 

In a series of IG stories, he let his audience follow along as he prepped for surgery.

Last week Rolling Ray announced he was hospitalized after his wig caught on fire! During a January 13 Instagram Live session hosted straight from his hospital bedside, he showed his severely burnt and damaged face telling viewers his “whole skin, legs, arms, feet, and everything” were burned.

In a more recent Live, Ray explained the incident that led to his whole wig catching on fire: an unfortunate smoking accident. “It just, like, lit on fire when I tried to light the cigarette,” he recounted. “So I get to trying to snatch the wig off. B***h, the fire goes to my f*****g shirt, to my feet, to my legs, to my back. It’s a fire everywhere, it’s a fire in the whole room.” 

Of course the internet trolled him in a disgusting display of ableism and heartlessness. Comments like “Rolling Ray should have stopped, dropped, and rolled” and “karma’s a b***h” had social media conflicted in its feelings about his accident. His sensation comes from his harsh and, often, below-the-belt reads (just last month he told Yung Miami to “dig (sic) up” her dead baby father. However, the criticism didn’t stop him from responding on Twitter. 

Rolling Ray might be problematic as all get-out, but we do not tolerate ableism here. We wish him well as he heals.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Are Getting Divorced, Report Says

Published

on

In a story published Tuesday evening, Page Six is reporting that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are getting divorced, with the two already in settlement talks. The news comes after the couple spent the holiday season separately – Kanye at his ranch outside Cody, Wyoming, Kim and the kids with her famous family in southern California. 

A source close to Kardashian was quoted saying, “Kim got Kanye to go up there so they could live separate lives and quietly get things sorted out to separate and divorce. She’s done.” Kardashian, 40, and West, 43, are said to be splitting because of marital problems directly related to Kanye’s very public mental health struggles.

For several years the rapper’s various antics have caused fans to worry. After coming out as a Trump supporter, West then announced his own 2020 presidential bid under a new political party: the Birthday Party. At a campaign rally in South Carolina, he was seen rambling, debating individual audience members, and at times, crying. In various interviews, he has rambled on almost incoherently, and his tweetstorms are now infamous.

For her part, Kim has always supported her husband and has openly discussed the difficulties of their marriage. Back in June, she shared on social media, “Anyone who has [bipolar disorder] or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand… People who are unaware or far removed from this experience can be judgmental and not understand that the individual (has) to engage in the process of getting help no matter how hard family and friends try.”

It appears she has finally reached her limit in the union with the unnamed source saying, “She is serious about taking the bar exam and becoming a lawyer, she is serious about her prison reform campaign. Meanwhile Kanye is talking about running for president and saying other crazy s**t, and she’s just had enough of it.”

Separately, a source close to Kanye alleges the rapper is sick of his wife and her family, which might have some truth to it since he has tweeted some pretty nasty things about them in the past. “I been trying to get divorced since Kim met with Meek at the Warldolf [sic] for ‘prison reform,’” he said in a now-deleted July tweet. Recently, he hasn’t been featured on his wife’s Instagram and has largely remained out of the public eye.

With the news yet to be confirmed, the “divorce is imminent” reports are just rumors for now. We’ll be following the news as more information comes out.
