Kanye West is living separately from Kim Kardashian & receiving outpatient care

FFN_FF10_Kanye_Kim_073116_52137507

Welp, it looks like Us Weekly actually did have the scoop after all. In the current issue of Us Weekly, their sources claim that Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were having serious issues in the weeks leading up to Kanye’s hospitalization. It sounds like Kanye was going through a real “manic” phase and Kim did not want to be around him, nor did she want the kids around him, and she told him they were taking a break. Soon after Kanye was released from the hospital, People Magazine’s sources claimed that Kimye was not and had not been on a break. Except guess what? Kanye may be out of the hospital, but he did not go home. All of that talk about how Kim didn’t want him around the kids was true: Kanye is now living separately from Kim and the kids.

Kanye West is out of the hospital, but the rapper is not back home with his wife Kim Kardashian West and their two children. A source close to the family tells PEOPLE the entertainer, 39, is living apart from his family for the time being and continuing treatment for undisclosed mental health issues after leaving UCLA’s Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital earlier this week.

“He is receiving outpatient care else with a medical team,” says the source. “Kim still seems concerned but is supportive. They don’t know for how long Kanye will need outpatient care.”

Though Kardashian West, 36, was a constant presence by her husband’s bedside while he remained hospitalized, an insider told PEOPLE she was “overwhelmed” by the situation and concerned about West’s relationship with their children, North, 3, and Saint, 11 months.

“She is very worried about the kids being around Kanye,” said the insider, who added that the children had not accompanied Kardashian West to visit their father.

It feels like a tough-love situation. It feels like Kim is telling Kanye that he needs to take his mental health seriously, listen to the doctors and take care of himself… or else she won’t let him come home. That’s just my reading of it. As for Kanye taking better care of himself, TMZ reports that this whole thing possibly started because Kanye wasn’t taking his meds as prescribed:

Kanye West is out of the hospital but not out of the woods, and it all stems from the rapper’s erratic pattern of taking his meds … sources connected with the family tell TMZ. Our sources say Kanye has long suffered from psychological issues controllable by medication. We’re told Kanye is steady on his meds, but deviated from the prescribed dosage … and that’s what led to the downward spiral and eventual mental breakdown.

It’s still unclear if Kanye flat-out stopped taking some of the pills or just decided to take different amounts — but we’re told he made the biggest changes in the wake of Kim’s Paris robbery. Doctors were able to keep Kanye in the hospital for 8 days, and during that time were able to medicate him, and get him more stable. We’re told he’s getting outpatient treatment and he’s okay right now, but since he’s not under 24/7 observation … it’s up to him to stay on the correct dosage.

[From TMZ]

If this is true, it would explain a lot about Kanye’s behavior over the past few years in particular. He’s always been eccentric (if not batsh-t crazy), but the swings in his mood and behavior were particularly wild over the past few years. I also wonder if he’s the kind of person who has mental health issues which can be well-stabilized by medication, but once he becomes stable, he thinks he doesn’t have to take his meds.

    He is a deeply troubled person and I continue to pray for him. The last thing he needed in his life was Kim.

    • Neo says:

      Thankfully for North and Saint, praying has no effect on reality.

      • original kay says:

        wow I love this. going to use it wherever applicable, if that’s ok with you Neo.

      • Melissa Melissa says:

        For those of us who believe in prayer, it has effects on reality.

      • Dlo says:

        @neo respectfully that is your opinion not everyones

      • Crox says:

        Why “thankfully”? I don’t believe in prayer either, but IF it were possible to change reality via prayer, wouldn’t it be helpful in this case? I doubt anybody is praying for a negative result. At worst prayer is just pointless (but we are probably in minority to think like that).

      • ViXi says:

        Prayer is not much different from meditation – which most people practice to help them focus more on the self and make positive changes in their life. Reality is just an illusion. It is not the truth. Perhaps if Kanye did not give in to worshiping his own ego thing might have turned out differently.

    • Yep, indeed. Two people can be assholes. He’s an egotistical dummy, who thinks he’s a genius and everybody should be kissing his ass. She’s an opportunist who will do what’s best for her career. His disease doesn’t make his actions forgivable; and her “tough love” doesn’t mean she’s a saint. She’s been right there through his “high” phase, dumping on Amber et al; showing his stupid collection; she wasn’t cautious and urging him to take meds then. Now in his low state she’s being supported. Sorry she’s a user and was his willing sidekick all along the way. Now when it’s obvious that he’s in trouble and the public is side eying him she’s talking the tough love shit. Bitch please, you’ve been riding the coat tails of his messy self this whole time. Now that the shit has hit the fan KK is “peace out”. Can’t stand either one.

      • Snowflake says:

        This^^^

      • Down and Out says:

        O-kay. First of all, you can’t force someone to take medications if they don’t want to. It’s called the right to refuse treatment. Even being involuntarily committed requires a judge’s order to administer meds against the patient’s will, and that’s in extreme circumstances. Kim should not be blamed if Kanye is refusing to take them.

        Second, they have very young children. If this story is accurate, she is distancing the family from Kanye because she wants to protect them. Maybe she sees the distancing as also protecting Kanye because in his more lucid decision-making mind, would he choose to have his kids around him in a manic state?

        Third, she’s barely had any time to recover from her traumatic robbery experience. Maybe she’s doing the best she can right now. Look, I’m not Kim’s #1 fan but maybe cut her a little effing slack on this one?

    • Matomeda says:

      Whoa, that was weird and unnecessary to direct insults at you. I’m sorry. What you said was kind and thoughtful.

    • Em says:

      I’m with you on the first sentence. The second one….not so much. That’s just cruel. I hope this family pulls through, whatever their flaws. Children are involved. And mental health issues are no joke – nor is it easy to live with someone who has them.

      I hope both Kim and Kanye take care of themselves and manage to overcome this.

      • bros says:

        I am surprised, with all their Machiavellian shenanigans and planning and ‘strategery’ that his genetic makeup wasnt taken into account when she decided to have kids with him. These diseases are strongly heritable and Kim needs to definitely educate herself on signs and symptoms so that she can be prepared for what might manifest at a later date in either one of her kids. this family seems to be willfully ignorant of mental health issues.

    • Mayram6 says:

      Can you pray that food drops from the sky in Syria? They are starving to death. And childhood cancers too…imagine

  2. RussianBlueCat says:

    So if Kanye had a pre existing condition which required medication. How does this affect the insurance coverage for the cancelled tour dates?
    The constant leaks regarding his medical condition are disgusting.

    • The Original G says:

      Are they leaks or just tabloid speculation? Which is the more disgusting violation?

      • LP says:

        If people mag has a story about someone it can bet your life they had approval from that person or their publicist- they don’t make a move without clearance, which is why they run weirdly sympathetic stories for bottom dwellers like the Duggars, poor johnny drop, etc. US Weekly is sometimes accurate and sometimes not; the rest are usually just garbage accuracy wise. In this case, ifmpeople is reporting it to came straight from Kris K’s a**.

  3. kri says:

    If he took the wrong dosage or none at all (which is way worse) than a breakdown would be more than possible. I have seen people try to wen themselves off psychotropic drugs, and it is awful. I was a fan of Kanye early on, but no more. However, I wish him well and hope that he stabililizes and stays that way. Although how anyone can be stable surrounded by those pigs is beyond me.

  4. Rae says:

    Having lived with, and been a childhood carer of, an immediate member of family who suffered with manic phases and schizophrenia, I know how much it will affect his wife and children. Heck, everyone around him.

    I’m not jumping on this bandwagon that is blaming Kim, as I think it shows a disgusting ignorance to what it is like being involved with this situation.

    I hope everyone- Kanye, Kim, their children, and the family on both sides- receives the help and support they need.

    • Shambles says:

      I ❤️ This comment. Thank you.

    • The Original G says:

      Yes.

    • minx says:

      What disgusts me is that Kris Jenner is blabbing every detail of Kanye’s illness and manipulating it as a storyline. It’s not a storyline. I believe Kim could ask her mother not to do this, and to treat the situation as seriously as it should be treated. Kris is setting the table for Kim’s divorce and press treatment and Kim seems to be fine with it.

      • Crowdhood says:

        It could honestly be anybody. I used to work in the mental health field and while HIPPA laws exist and are great, people talk. It could be a custodian, it could be kris Jenner. We really don’t know anything, it’s all speculation.

      • minx says:

        It’s not just details about Kanye, it’s flattering leaks about Kim and the family dynamics, all tied up with a neat bow.
        I think TMZ/Us/People have Kris on speed dial.

    • LahdidahBaby says:

      Thank you, Rae, for your comment.

    • Eleonor says:

      We cannot know what is happening behind close doors.
      There is one thing I know: both of them are in a really bad place in this moment. Plus they have kids.
      I hope they can be back to their “normal” lives so we can go back talking about how vapid she is, and how Kanye designs are awful.

    • sherry says:

      As a mother to a child with bipolar disorder, thank you for saying this! I am fortunate that my daughter is willing to take her medication. Her meds along with her service dog allow her to live a “normal” life.

      However, I am in support groups with other mothers who have teens flat out refusing to take their medication or pretend to take them, then spit them out. Their stories and the daily hell they deal with is shocking.

      • Aims says:

        I also have a family member who mental health issues. She has a problem taking her medication and unfortunately her husband doesn’t insist she take it. It’s a sad cycle of she’s on her medicine and stable , feels cured goes off it and has to be hospitalized to stabilize her. When she’s off medication my kids don’t see her out of safety . It’s decision both my husband and I made. Especially when they were younger . My family member has been on a 5150 hold many times. I have the utmost compassion for anyone who has or is suffering from mental health. I have serious depression and have had for half of my life . Those are the cards I was dealt with . I am very proactive in my medical care and know how I am if I’m not . There’s no denial on my part of my depression , I’ve long time excepted it.

    • MrsBPitt says:

      I was coming here to say the same thing. Living with someone who has a mental illness can be brutal. I feel for Kanye, but also for Kim and the kids as well…

      • mm says:

        This. If anything I feel worse for Kim. People with mental health issues who do not take drastic steps to work on themselves very often rip apart the people around them. I think it is a bit like living with someone with alzheimers. It sucks for the sufferer, but even more for the family.

    • MI6 says:

      Amen, Rae. Thank you.

    • Oriane says:

      As the child of someone who struggled with mental illness all his life, I can testify that is very unsettling for children to witness extreme mood swings in a parent. And with children so young there is no hope of explaining the situation and thus detoxifying it. Since they have the resources to keep the children and the patient in different households they should be praised for choosing this practical approach (no sweeping under the rug, ‘all is well’): it protects the children and gives the sick person a chance to heal with less pressure / more focus.

    • Em says:

      100%. The blaming of Kim is really spiteful. I hope both of them pull through.

    • Heat says:

      I agree with you 100%.
      My brother’s first wife, and mother of his children was paranoid schizophrenic (not saying Kanye is, by the way). When she went off her meds, it was scary for everyone…most especially the kids.
      I’m not going to fault Kim for not bringing North & Saint around Kanye right now. As the doctors figure out his meds, and what dosages are going to work best, Kanye could likely be extremely erratic. That can be very confusing to the children. They are used to their parents travelling all over the world without them, so I don’t think that Kanye’s absence will be felt as harshly as his presence might be.

  5. The Original G says:

    I sincerely hope that anyone who seeks/needs treatment for mental illness is not deterred by the negative speculation and gossip about Kanye and Kim. And I hope all will be well with their family.

    • Wilma says:

      I hope Kanye and Kim will be open about his issues as they could do a lot of good in this case.

  6. LAK says:

    …….Kim STILL SEEMS concerned…….

    Those 2 words sum up her position perfectly. Most people would remain concerned until they were not. It’s not a grey area.

    • Snowflake says:

      Yeah, I caught that too. I was thinking, why don’t they just say she is concerned? Weird

  7. lightpurple says:

    “He is receiving outpatient care else with a medical team,” says the source. “Kim still seems concerned but is supportive. They don’t know for how long Kanye will need outpatient care.”

    He will need care for the rest of his life! If they are going to constantly leak information, why constantly downplay what it means? And that statement about Kim makes little sense with the use of “but.”

    • Bess says:

      Correct. I don’t know why the Kardashian’s are leaking information like Kanye’s problem is a short-term deal. He’s going to need treatment & medication for the rest of his life.

      • jwoolman says:

        Since he has money, maybe he should hire someone with medical training who can also act as both a kind of personal assistant or cook or something he needs plus provide some medical supervision, including badgering him to take his meds on schedule, paying attention to his sleep pattern, and telling him when there are signs the dosage isn’t right or he needs to consult with a doctor. His judgment about time and other things probably is shot when he starts to skip doses and it would be easy to miss several doses or overdose without an external check of this sort, especially since he probably gets very absorbed in his projects and has an irregular life schedule.

  8. Workdog says:

    I think the phrase “still seems concerned” means she is not convinced he is stable on the meds yet, not that she is less concerned as a whole. Poor wording on their part.

    The public hashing out of this illness is harsh and I find it sad for anyone to experience it (have in my family) but it’s no surprise given their livelyhood means that it is so public. It seems it would make recovery even more challenging and difficult. I don’t care for these people’s choices but this I don’t wish on anyone. Hope he can find and continue proper effective treatment. He at least has the means and access; many..too many.. do not. It’s a failure that needs remedy.

  9. Digital Unicorn (aka Betti) says:

    I am quite fed up with all the Kim slamming – Kanye has serious problems that they as a family have no doubt been dealing with for years. When people are in the manic stage they often stop taking their meds and thats when it all goes pear shaped. Kim has to put the children first and at this stage until their father is stable, its for the best that they be kept from him. Children are very receptive and sensitive to parental behaviour. She also probably realises that at this stage he needs to have some space, its not an easy thing to do but it sounds like its the best course of action to allow him to get better before they can even think about moving forward as a family.

    Mental illness is so hard to live with on everyone around the ill person – we shouldn’t judge those in who are trying to deal with it as every case is different and you don’t know how you would react until you experience it.

    • Crowdhood says:

      Thank you for this. People have no idea what it is like to be involved in a situation like this. I am glad she doesn’t have their children near him. Can you imagine all of the hatred she would receive for that? This is the stuff that
      Goes beyond jewelry heists and see through dresses and north’s ballet outfit- this is really serious and incredibly difficult stuff for a family. People and their online reactions are too much these days.

    • lightpurple says:

      I don’t blame her for sheltering the children right now. That makes perfect sense. I do have a problem with the amount of information being leaked to the public that is clearly from her people, that does not help him. Given that the story now is that he has had problems for a very long time, I do blame her for her past very public encouragement and support of his inappropriate behaviors, which she did to draw publicity for herself. She exploited him, she exploited his problem and she exploited the targets of his rants. That is very problematic and no real help to him whatsoever. I do hope that through the treatment he is receiving now that they both come to realize and stop that.

      • K says:

        I don’t blame her either. I’ve seen firsthand how disorientating and unsettling it can be for young children in particular to see a parent behaving erratically and becoming almost another person in a manic or mixed state. Not having the kids around him all the time now doesn’t mean she’s going to keep them from him forever. Not many people make good parents in the middle of a breakdown. But hopefully with good care he’ll stabilise and things will get better for them sooner rather than later.

      • Lady D says:

        You are so right, lightpurple. She was complicit in exploiting him for profit and attention. As for stopping questionable behaviour, she would have to look past herself, and she’s kind of vain.

      • Erica_V says:

        ^^This Lightpurple! I do feel bad for them as a family however I 100% believe without their rampant obsession with fame & attention we wouldn’t know a single detail about his medical issues. They are twisting his legit issues into the storyline THEY want to tell and it’s gross and I do blame her & her mother for that.

    • Scout says:

      Amen.

  10. Ramona Q. says:

    I take 3 meds for depression, anxiety and manic depression, and even missing 1-2 doses a week — or taking them in the morning one day, and at night another — makes a big difference in my brain chemistry. It’s a delicate balance. You gotta take your meds correctly.

    • RussianBlueCat says:

      I am also on medication for depression. But it is also having access to good medical professionals. It took years but I found the right doctor and that made a world of difference. He could tell right away when I needed a change in medication or change the dose. It has been two years and it has made a huge difference

    • nicegirl says:

      I too take a medication for depression. I never knew how much it would help me.

      When I take it religiously, the same time at night, after eating a small amount, with a full glass of water, and sleep for the required 8 hours after taking the med, it works very well. I feel close to great.

      HOWEVER< when I forget, and make even the slightest variations – taking it a few hours later than usual, bad – I am groggy, confused, tired, or worse, the super bad headache all day. Too early and I cannot keep my eyes open. Not drinking a full glass of water, it can cause hot, dry burning in my throat – forgetting to eat or eating too much can cause stomach upset or uncontrollable vomiting, and if I forget to take it for a day, or two, I am sicker than a dog. Worse is when I have forgotten and taken 2 – waking up a few hours later and hopefully making it to the bathroom to throw up or doing so for hours the next day while on the toilet, it is awesome.

      That said, taking my medication for the past 2 years has changed my life SO MUCH for the better. It takes the edge off in a way that makes it so I can handle my world. For several years I had been in therapy, and an earnest believer, but it was not helping me as much as I needed outside of the counselors office. At home stresses still really got to me and I took it out on my family and it was not healthy. I am a heck of a lot better now. I still meet with my counselor as well and have a great Dr who supervises my medication.

      I truly feel for those who are in the same boat and their families. My best wishes to Kanye, Kim and their children.

      • Beau Kitty says:

        Best wishes to y ou, nicegirl. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I hope Kanye gets better and that Kim and the kids get support, too. I cannot stand Kim, but I don’t want to see anyone suffer, and especially not North and Saint.

  11. Green Is Good says:

    The title should be “Kimbo’s Nannies are concerned “.

  12. Cool Character says:

    I have zero sympathy for Kim.

    She (everyone) knew Kanye has mental health issues. Kim and her family used him, enabled him, encouraged his obsessions with other women, and had two kids with him.

    Hopefully this is a wake up call but I doubt it.

    • JudyK says:

      Ditto.

    • Chaine says:

      ^^this. If Kim was really such a caring spouse trying to help him maintain his mental health, why did she so gleefully participate in whole Taylor Swift debacle? She should have recognized how unhealthy Kanye’s ongoing obsession with TS was and shut that down years ago.

      • Lightpurple says:

        Because she saw a way to use that to promote herself. She was not defending her husband when she released that heavily edited tape, she was promoting her TV show. A defense of her husband would have occurred five months earlier without the GW interview or the Snapchat promo or the Day of the Snake tweets and then she added to that by posing with the Famous statues and pointing and cackling at her husband’s fantasy of Taylor’s genitalia. Those are not the acts of a person who cares about a spouse’s mental illness

    • Scout says:

      How sad for you.

      • MrsBadBob says:

        You miss the point, it’s sad for Kanye, he needs someone who actually cares for him, not the parasite that has attached herself to his fame.

  13. BendyWindy says:

    As someone who struggles with mental health, I hope he gets better soon. And I hope he continues to take his meds and have therapy. I could armchair diagnose his issues, but instead I’ll just talk about my own.

    I suffer from depression and anxiety and have had more than one doctor consider a bipolar diagnosis, but I don’t officially have one. One of the most difficult and insidious parts of mental disease is that your brain lies to you. It tells you you’re fine, you don’t really need the meds, you can control it. I’m not exaggerating when I say it took me years to accept that I will have to be medicated for the rest of my life, and that I can’t stop taking medication just because I feel better. Once I begin to unravel, which doesn’t happen with one missed dose, but several, but when it has happened in the past it was a long, hard road back to a semblance of normalcy. And I’m just a regular person, not a celebrity surrounded by yes people.

    I don’t know if Kanye is bipolar, but I’ve read that many people who are don’t like the meds because although it stops the real, soul crushing lows, it also dulls the mania and the highs. For a creative person that is usually his or her most productive time. That may be why he dislikes the meds, but I’m clearly just speculating.

    I hope he gets well. I hope he stays well. And I hope his wife has both his and the children’s best interests at heart and that they can try to repair their family.

    • AmyB says:

      @BendyWendy I appreciate your sharing. I can relate to many things you shared. I have a 25-year history of depression and anorexia/alcoholism so medication became an instant issue for me. In the beginning, it did help yet I didn’t always take it. I have been told I could have bipolar, borderline personality disorder, but bottom line, I take my depression meds: Abilify and Effexor and couldn’t fathom not taking them today. They help me be the person I want to be.

      Obv, like most, I don’t know Kayne (lol), but he has seemed mentally unstable to me and I pray he gets the help he truly needs. Unfortunately, in our society, mental health issues carry a negative stigma when they shouldn’t, yet recovery is possible. I am proof of that.

      However, the Kardashians are another story; can’t imagine Kim or her mother will want her man to have a mental illness so he may be pushed aside……I wish that family would use their huge social media platform for mental health awareness….that would be a productive use of their time rather than selfies.

  14. SM says:

    The sad thing is that Kanye is probably one of those people that only care for someone as long as he is at the center of attention and while everything is fine. I don’t doubt that he loves his family but clearly he had to be the stronger one after what happened to Kim and protect her and swollow up any bad moods and problems she had after that. But somehow i believe he is inapable of standing beside someone and taking care of someone when it is the most challanging to care for loved one. He may care as long as carrying involves complemanting always fabulously lolking you wife or getting her expensive presents as long as the wife is happy with presents or even encourage her to work out and post nude selfies (look eveyone, I have a hot wife) and now that Kim is the one needing more attention, he decides to moderate hos meds by himself. Because obviously he is doctor Kanye. I hope I’m wrong, but an egoist lives to feed off everyone around to sustain the ego

  15. Bonbon says:

    Kim has long been a proponent of tough love administered at the point when individuals repeatedly don’t step up and do appropriate self care. She doesnt believe that coddling is productive, she accepts that it prolongs issues, and maximizes the collateral damage on others. And she wants none of that in her life.

    One of the few things I find myself agreeing with her on.

    • lightpurple says:

      Encouraging somebody who suffers a mental illness with their obsessions about other people and gleefully joining in on the attacks against those targets is not productive either. And she repeatedly did exactly that.

      • Bonbon says:

        I agree, Not a fan of them or that aspect. But I do wonder how much of that IS normal Kanye with physician oversight and proper meds? I don’t think she found that behavior problematic in her life, I think she found it contributing to the limelight. Odd I know. I just don’t think she thought of him as in the throes of a mental-health crisis when participating in that …..I believe she considered his mental issues managed then and it was just part of their celebrity couple narrative in her world.

        My comments were more targeted toward the reports he’s gone off his Meds and that caused the psychotic break, the paranoia, the reported threats of violence etc

    • Escaped Convent says:

      I don’t think it’s coddling to be nasty to a family member who has gained weight because they will “ruin her wedding pictures.” But that was her attitude towards her brother Rob.

      • Bonbon says:

        I don’t either, But — unless you know more than I — it was never clear if that’s what happened or not…..if it was his own depression and insecurities that drove him away or her. If she didn’t want him in pics she probably would have told him not to come (like she did her step brothers GF)

        But when others wer coddling him later she did indeed say they needed to stop

    • jwoolman says:

      Kim’s idea of tough love isn’t how it actually works. She’s downright nasty to the people involved. She is so concerned with appearances and her own comfort that she doesn’t have much concern left for the person in front of her. Look at how she has treated her brother – she wasn’t concerned about his depression but rather that he was too fat to be in pictures with her. She didn’t really want him at her wedding. She also has said things about him and his problems in public that are simply atrocious. That’s not tough love, that’s abuse. Kim gets too wrapped up in herself to really see the other person. She has trouble loving others, period, tough love is just a phrase she picked up to justify her actions.

      • Bonbon says:

        Your points about her motivation of self are valid. I do think though most “tough love” is founded in some aspect of “I won’t let your shit pull me down, so deal with it yourself without me”………and that isn’t necsessairily a bad thing,

        But as in all things Kardashian…..if it doesn’t Happen in front of cameras, then it didn’t really happen, did it? It could certainly be done privately and not “for show” and be a lot less suspect!

    • MrsBadBob says:

      Her version of ‘tough love’ is self-serving codswallop. Tough love is not about being abusive and indifferent to the problems of others because you find them inconvenient. It’s a parenting technique for dealing with rebellious teens not an excuse for Kim to act like a brat. Leave it to Kim to take something she doesn’t understand completely out of context in order to use it to her advantage.

    Sometimes people go off meds bc the meds make them feel sluggish and out of it. Or they miss the high phase of the mania. I wish them the best, bipolar, schizophrenia are a bitch. I read once that ted turner who is bipolar has minders to make sure he stays on his meds bc when he feels good he doesn’t want to take them. Wise move.

    Reminds of a good friend of mine, who was perfectly fine until one day, he had an ‘episode’ of violence. He was even sent to jail for the night after assaulting someone.
    It turned out he had been suffering from schizophrenia, kept under control with medication.
    In the weeks leading to the incident, he had been lowering the dosage of his medication.
    He had to be hospitalised, in a mental institution and it took him weeks to get back to normal.
    Now he seems ok!

    Sounds very similar to Kanye’s breakdown.

    • Bess says:

      The key is that your friend (hopefully) realizes that he is going to be under medical care for the rest of this life. Kanye & the Kardashians need to realize that as well.

      • Mirage says:

        I think he now know he has to take his medication ad vitam aeternam.
        I don’t know how they make him feel, but he seems perfectly normal when he takes them.

    I’m going to be superficial here…why does Kim have that outfit cut up to her hoo ha?

  20. Lambda says:

    Poor guy.

  21. Swak says:

    DM is reporting that Kanye is NOT at a separate residence from Kim and is at home with Kim and the children. So many conflicting stories.

  22. newmans own says:

    One thing to think on is that with this diagnosis and cancelling of the tour is how hard it might be to get insurance for a future tour.

    It could become a potential game changer for Kanye. Maybe record labels or promotors are going to be a little less agreeable to working with him. Have stricter terms in the contract etc.

  23. bbb says:

    Pimp Mama Kris is at it again. Go extract your money from this ordeal, girl. He and his sobstory need to be milked for all its worth.

    Lamar became mental, Khloe was heavily promoted, ‘dated’ a coupe of Z-list athlete/rapper types who probably f-ed her for PR or money, she had a ‘body transformation’ and now she is in business to capitalize on all that. I am sure Kris was the architect of all that.

    Same w/ Chris Humphries or whatever his name was.

    If there is one person who can turn profit from all this, it is Kris. The misery of these pathetic benighted men can feed the Kardashian sewage system beautifully.

  24. Jayna says:

    Every day a different story. Next it will be this one is false and he is at home with his family.

  25. jlee says:

    Not to be an A hole but I think Kim entered into this marriage with eyes wide open. She just didn’t have a true understanding of his illness and how bad it could get. Hopefully she’ll educate herself in case one of her children suffer in the future.

  26. mommy2b says:

    My theory is that Kanye set up the robbery because the ring he bought was just for show, Kim found out and flipped, he couldent handle the fallout.

  27. Juluho says:

    I would not put it past Kris to pull a Papa Spears and either Kris or Kim end up controlling Kayne and his ventures in total.

  28. Andrea says:

    Haven’t they always pretty much lived apart? (Innocent question here).

  29. Abby says:

    I’m not a fan of either one of them, but my dad has multiple severe mental illnesses. I’ve lived with him going in and out of hospitals and taking / not taking his medicine and all the effects. My mom died a few years ago and I had to become my dads guardian last year because of his last psychotic episode. I have two children the same age range as north and saint. My dad didn’t see them for more than a year while he was unstable and off his meds. You can’t make people take their medication or enter treatment. It doesn’t work that way.

    My take on this story is one of sadness. I know this family feeds on media attention but trying to pull through mental illness is intensely private. I wish them well, healing for Kanye and stability for those babies. In my experience it’s a long road with many bumps and medication isn’t a magic bullet that always keeps working without fail.

  30. Amanda says:

    Wow, you guys are really falling for all this

  31. Bitchy says:

    I am so sorry for Kayne. He is such a talented artist. If he would concentrate on making music he could be BIG BIG BIG.

    What did I learn from that?
    Look at the history AND the character AND the type of employment of your future spouse. The character of these Kardashian types just isn’t good enough to found a family.

  32. La Blah says:

    They’ve never lived together so why would they now.

    • Chrissy says:

      Exactly. I think she and the kids have always lived with PMK and Kanye lives on his own . Strange that they’re only seen together when paps are around. It’s was and always will be a business arrangement IMO.

  33. PoliteTia says:

    Kim didn’t want him around the kids? How about Kim thought her ticket to the A-List was Kanye. Instead the A-List backed away from Kanye because of the Klan.
    Kim has brand/family to protect. She is pretty much done with him. Good for Kanye.
