After countless erratic tweets, fights with voters, and a complete meltdown during a campaign rally, Kim Kardashian has finally addressed the situation surrounding Kanye West.

The reality TV star and businesswoman shared a lengthy statement where she gave more details about Kanye’s unstable mental state.

She did not mention the fact that Kanye made shocking abortion and divorce revelations during his rants.

On her Instagram Story on Wednesday, Kim asked for empathy and understanding during this head-spinning situation.

She wrote: “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 understand 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 try.”

She continued: “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 close with Kanye know his heart and understand his words sometimes do not align with his intentions. Living with bipolar 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 big dreams have come true. As a society, we 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.”

Kim concluded by: “Thank you for those who have expressed concern for Kanye’s well-being and your understanding. With love and gratitude, Kim Kardashian West.”
