Staying out of the spot light would be a good first step in dealing with this I would think...

[laurenbray]

She should have said something a while ago. A lot of people thought she was complicit with Kanye not getting treatment and not staying on meds because she never said anything and just supported his actions. This isn't something you can just ignore the public about unfortunately especially since he's running for office.

Please, I hope he gets the help he needs. Mental illness is no joke.

[Rosie-jxjo]

Not too mentally ill to swindle stimulus $ meant for struggling small businesses who aren’t bragging about being billionaires....Just saying...

[angelahamlett]

I told me ex she was going to do this years ago. He needs to get away from this toxic family.

[normanhill]

I would question the mental health of anyone who associates with the Kardashians.

[Do.whats.right..]

If he wasn't loaded with cash she would give that clown the time of day!

Its Depression. The man is healing from traumatic experiences. He's devolving into ways of coping by substituting random activities as a release of contained emotions.

Then PULL Him Down out of the public spotlight, MAKE HIM take time away from having to think about the Brand, Work or Producing. Use That RANCH!! Take Away the Internet. Get Him Away before he harms someone physically.

Unfortunately, you dint know if there are other motives to come forward. Like saving a brand from negativity. Publicity is good if you live on it and social media is your currency.

Make the guy look crazy because he has feelings. If he says something you don't agree with label him bipolar.

I believe Kanye West hasn't gotten over his mother's death. It is very sad to see him struggle, when it is very clear.
I wish him very well, indeed. He is such a great guy

[RIXRADvidz]

well MuriKKKa you got yourself a genuine living soap opera, no more reality TV, this is Actually Happening, the storyline, the characters, the protagonist, the antagonist, the challenge, the process to resolution. the K's of your Lives.

[lmgrss]

Emotional abuse from anybody it's never okay and should not be tolerated. #savekim

[cortright]

Sorry he is not well. Pray that he can and will get the help he apparently needs. I am glad that his wife understands.

[PoppONayaShelly]

"standing by her man"? wtf? nah that's betrayal!

[josh]

This is really scary, kanye is an extreme danger to himself and his family. Keep him away from his kids. He might wake up one day and think he is abraham from the old testament

[bradleysmith]

Yeah, I mean I questioned it ever since he sang Bohemian Rhapsody.

[coryvernon]

Bi-Polar is not an excuse to run as President of the United States...

[twolizzylu]

I don’t care for these people, but I wouldn’t wish mental illness on anyone. It’s terrible on the entire family involved. I wish them well!
