Kim Kardashian Details Kanye West's Public Struggles

Kim Kardashian has offered a candid look into her dynamic with ex-husband Kanye West over a nearly ten-year period, as documented in the new book "Citizen Kim: The Woman Who Created the Future." The biography details Kardashian's efforts to manage West's public struggles with his mental health, including bipolar disorder.

She revealed a coping strategy of "sweeping it away under the carpet" during his psychotic breaks, driven by a desire to protect him and maintain privacy. However, as his behavior began to affect her own health and safety, she prioritized self-preservation.

Kardashian detailed how she created 'lockdown' protocols within her household to shield their four children from West's episodes, ensuring they were unaware during difficult times. Communication with West is now facilitated through his current wife, Bianca Censori, or his manager.

Despite the complexities, Kardashian expressed a continuous worry for West's well-being and actively encourages her children's relationship with him, maintaining an open-door policy with his family. She aims to protect her children's perception of their father, despite past public difficulties.
