What’s up y’all, it’s Sussan Mourad
here with Clevver News, and the Kardashian-Wests
have been sweeping headlines over the past
week, but many fans can’t help but wonder
if Kanye’s Twitter insults were all just
another one of Kris Jenner’s genius PR stunts…
We know the drill all too well… a major
scandal breaks out within the Kardashian clan,
panic erupts on social media, feuds break
out, and fans wait for months on end to see
the real drama unfold during the upcoming
season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
All thanks to the brilliant, but devious mind
of Kris Jenner, the oddly and seemingly perfect
timing of scandals including Kylie’s secret
pregnancy, Tristan and Jordyn’s kiss, and
some even think Kim’s Paris robbery, to
name a few scandals, conveniently happened
just before new seasons aired.
That said, just on the heels of Kanye’s
campaign appearance where he broke down, as
well as his Twitter insults to his own family,
fans have been eager to get a behind-the-scenes
look into what his family really thought about
his public breakdown during the next season
of The Kardashians.
Fans began tweeting predictions and memes
about Kris, Kanye and what could possibly
be addressed on the upcoming season, like
this user who shared a gif with the caption,
“Kris Jenner emailing KUWTK’s editors
to add her family’s reaction to Kanye’s
campaign and his tweets in the trailer of
the new season.”
However, many are still infuriated over the
fact that people are hoping to gain personal
pleasure from Kanye’s mental illness.
Another user tweeted, “I don’t really
like how people are using the Kanye situation
to tweet shit like ‘this kuwtk finale about
to be wild’ like no this man is actually
struggling with mental health issues and needs
help it’s not the time for that.”
We, here at Clevver, want to continue to make
our stance very clear on mental illness, and
agree with the fact that nobody’s mental
health should be used as a means of monetary
gains or personal pleasure.
On that note, we are happy to report what
TMZ revealed on Thursday that Keeping Up With
The Kardashians will NOT be documenting any
of Kanye’s current bipolar episode.
According to the outlet, the order came from
Kim herself, who is reportedly taking this
situation very seriously.
Production revealed, QUOTE: “As soon as
Kanye went off the rails, Kim made the decision
that none of it would be used as a storyline
on the show.”
Although the show was put in a slight hiatus
due to the pandemic, the Season 18 finale
will be shot with mobile phone cameras, and
Season 19 has already been said to have begun
filming.
The seriousness of the family’s situation
was expressed in Kim’s statement made on
Wednesday via Instagram stories.
She expressed that for people who might not
understand mental illness, that the family
might appear to be not doing enough to help
Kanye, explaining that unless the person needing
help is a minor, the family is essentially
powerless.
Kim also stated that although she knows Kanye
will be subject to criticism because he is
a public figure, living with bipolar disorder
“does not diminish or invalidate his dreams
or creative ideas.”
Kim expressed that she wanted to protect her
family’s privacy, including her four children,
and asked the media and fans to give them
the compassion and empathy that is needed
so that they can get through this difficult
time.
Sources close to TMZ said QUOTE, “Kim takes
her husband’s mental health very seriously
and doesn't want it exploited for ratings
or good TV drama -- some things are off the
table, and this is one of them.”
That policy reportedly extends to her children.
The outlet also revealed that production was
told not to profile any of them during this
ordeal because she wants them to avoid seeing
it down the road.
The family IS still filming, however, they
are just following different storylines at
the moment.
Another thing TMZ was quick to clear up, is
that Kanye’s public outburst was NOT to
bring publicity for his forthcoming album,
and that nothing he’s doing right now is
for attention.
And while we’re on the topic of debunking
rumors, other sources have revealed that although
divorce is a common theme in the current discussion,
Kim is by no means QUOTE “planning” to
divorce Kanye “right now.”
Discussion of divorce allegedly began long
before Kanye’s breakdown, as one source
revealed, QUOTE: “Divorce discussions have
been a long time coming.
There has been enough communication, both
in the past few days and in the weeks prior,
to establish that both sides feel the marriage
is over.”
Regardless, it seems Kim will be standing
beside her husband and supporting him through
thick and thin for the time being.

on the family’s decision to keep the drama
out of the spotlight down in the comments.
I’m your host Sussan Mourad, bye guys!
