Kim Kardashian Breaks Silence on Kanye West Turmoil: “Sometimes I Feel Like Snapping, But I Can’t”

The reality star opens up about emotional strain, co-parenting challenges, and protecting her children amid Kanye West’s latest public outbursts.

Kim Kardashian is known for her calm composure, but on the latest episode of The Kardashians, she openly acknowledged that even she has a breaking point. The 45-year-old reality star and entrepreneur accompanied Scott Disick to a brain scan appointment—after doctors detected a small aneurysm during a Prenuvo scan—and used the moment to reflect on her increasingly complex relationship with ex-husband Kanye West.

Disick offered empathy as he referenced West’s recent behavior, saying, “It looks stressful… I see some of the stuff, and it’s like, f—.” Kim nodded, admitting, “It is hard.” In her confessional, she explained that West is “very loud out there right now,” adding that choosing not to engage is “for the better.”

Kim, who shares four children with West—North, 12; Saint, 9; Chicago, 7; and Psalm, 6—revealed deeper frustrations behind the scenes. Despite West posting claims about contacting her, Kim said he “never once called,” a pattern she finds particularly painful given how it impacts the perception of her role as a mother. “I always encourage a relationship, but a healthy one,” she said. “Sometimes I just feel like snapping, but I can’t. I just can’t.”

Her priority, she emphasized, remains clear: “My only focus and job is really just to be strong for my kids.”

This season, Kim has been increasingly candid about the emotional toll of her marriage and divorce. In earlier episodes, she spoke about feeling a “bit of Stockholm syndrome” during their years together and admitted it’s “f—— sad” to see how things have unfolded between them. While she once believed she could help him, she now recognizes that she no longer carries that responsibility.

The stress has manifested physically as well, with Kim revealing that her psoriasis has flared up again. Adding to the pressure, she shared that one of her children—presumably North—recently became aware of West’s behavior for the first time. “My poor kids… protect my babies,” she said, expressing her determination to shield them for as long as she can.

Through the turmoil, Kim remains steadfast: focused, protective, and quietly resilient. And while the world watches the drama unfold, she is committed to ensuring her children experience stability—even when everything around her feels unstable.
