Yet again, Kim Kardashian is embroiled in a controversy. The reality star is said to be clashing with her immediate family over her silence following ex-husband Kanye West’s recent onslaught of pronouncements on social media. The sources have revealed that systemic division within the Kardashian-Jenner inner circle is aggravated by this. More so, Scott Disick is quite angry because he considers himself a Jew. Disick was raised a Jew and in all aspects finds Kanye’s behavior offensive. He is also frustrated over Kim’s apparent silence in this case.
Kanye’s Disturbing Social Media Rants
Well into his years, at 47, Kanye West found himself in the news again due to a shocking three-day-long spree on social media where he was allegedly hurling out antisemitic, homophobic, and sexist diatribes, accompanied by explicit content, resulting in the temporary deactivation of his account from the platform-another controversial entry for the rapper’s volatile and hateful rhetoric.
It is not a new situation for Kanye to find himself in hot waters due to antisemitic comments. He earned himself a lot of anger in 2022 for statements that some saw as encouraging terrible stereotypes. Kim Kardashian aligned herself with other public figures condemning antisemitism then, while during the latest tirade from her husband, she chose silence amid buzzing controversy within her family.
Scott Disick’s Alleged Frustration
As per reports by insiders close to the Kardashian circle, 41-year-old Scott Disick has become progressively infuriated by the leniency shown with which Kim is treating Kanye’s action. According to an insider source quoted by Daily Mail, “Scott is raised a Jew and the fact that Kim has not denounced Kanye West’s hateful antisemitic remarks really adds fuel to his ire. He is jammed with Kanye and takes offense at the attack on the Jewish community, personally.”
Disick was welcomed into the Kardashian-Jenner family years ago as a father of three kids with Kourtney Kardashian and had a better relationship with Kim and her sisters. For him, what is doubly frustrating is to watch that in light of his Jewish roots, Kanye’s offensive comments would naturally hit home on a personal level.
Kim Kardashian’s Silence
The media-reclusive Kim Kardashian, 44, has always been known for her fine-tuned public image, even utilizing them on such issues as social justice while playing neutral on the family front. However, it is more of the times when it comes to Kanye, whom she restrains herself due to co-parenting. They have four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. Kim has opened up on protecting them from the father controversy.
Despite her distance in the past when it comes to statements from Kanye, their current silence has been interpreted as complicity by some. Critics argue that given her huge platform and advocacy in the past, she should speak against hate speech, especially by a former partner with children.
View of Public and Celebrities
As Kanye’s social media tantrums unleash yet again, many celebrities and public figures have decided to raise their voices in condemnation against his remarks. These include the influential Jewish organizations, such as the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) that called for more actions taken against such enemies propagating antisemitic rhetoric.
Scott Disick’s reported irritation symbolizes yet another layer to the wider opinion that big names like Kim should take a firm stance against hate. With millions of followers across social media, her voice has the power to shape public discourse, making her silence more noticeable.
Will Kim Speak?
At this point, Kim Kardashian has made no official statement on the latest Kanye West comments. This tension, paired with the one building with Scott Disick, only raises the stakes and creates even more potential for family turmoil over her silence, which is already quite messy.
However, if she does say something, it might help improve her relationship with Scott and reinforce her previous public dissent against antisemitism. If she chooses silence, then nothing will prevent this controversy from blowing up further and resulting in even more backlash, as well as possible withdrawal within her family.
Conclusion
The latest whip-tongued tirade from Kanye West has again raised the public ire, but, this time, it is Kim Kardashian’s silence which makes headlines. With Scott Disick reportedly feeling cut off and frustrated over her lack of response, the situation highlights the difficulties of balancing personal relationships and public responsibility.
Will Kim Kardashian speak up to Kanye’s remarks, or given her continued growing discontent with Scott Disick, will she simply find herself thrust further in the spotlight? Only time shall tell, but one thing is certain-the public and her family are watching.
