Kim Kardashian opened up about Kanye West on a recent podcast appearance, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
On the October 15 episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, the famous reality star got candid about her controversial ex.
West's Alleged Manic Episode
Kardashian said there were 'a lot of things' she 'wouldn't deal with' that led to the demise of her marriage to West.
"There was just a lot of things that I wouldn't deal with," Kardashian shared regarding what led to the end of her relationship with West. "I didn't like the feeling of someone talking bad about my kids' grandmother, aunts, all of those feelings. If someone feels that way, then we shouldn't be together."
She claimed during one of West's alleged manic episodes, he purchased five Lamborghinis and gave them away.
"I'd come home and they'd all be gone," she explained of what West, who revealed his bipolar diagnosis in 2016, did. "Then I'd come home again, and at a different point, we'd have five more Lamborghinis and then I'd wake up in another episode and they'd all be gone again."
"I didn't know what you're going to get when you wake up, and that's a really unsettling feeling," she added, noting that the "lack of stability was a big thing."
West Hasn't Contacted His Kids in a While
Kardashian claimed her and her kids not hearing from West is being managed 'really well.'
Kardashian also claimed it's been quite some time since her kids have heard from West.
"It’s probably been a couple months since we’ve heard from him," she claimed. "They always knew that he had a big life traveling before and he was on tour and all of that, and that he lives in different countries all the time and loves to live all over the place. So we manage it really well."
"I think that the one thing that just gets me is there’s this narrative that I like to keep the kids away from him," she continued. "I've never once done that. There's been so many times where I’m just like, 'Ah, I want to show all these texts, what are you talking about?' I beg them to go hang out or things like that."
Kardashian Insists She Always Lets West See Their Kids When He Wants to
Kardashian said she has not 'kidnapped' her kids from West.
"I think it’s all good and we’re living our life," she elaborated, "and then I wake up and there’s all these tweets about how I’ve kidnapped the kids and I'm like, 'It's not a kidnapping. It’s divorce.'"
She insisted "every time" West has asked to see their children, she has let him, as that's "just who" she is.
She did note she would step in if he was in the throes of a mental health crisis, but added, "When he is like that, he doesn’t want to see the kids a lot. So it’s always worked out."
