How Kanye West’s Coparenting Struggles Might Affect Kids Has ‘Deeply Hurt’ Kim Kardashian
Her head was held high. Kim Kardashian has been the target of Kanye West‘s recent posts criticizing her parenting skills, but she remains hopeful that they’ll be able to work things out in the end.
“Kim is deeply hurt by the fact that North could come across Kanye’s posts and it could affect her,” an insider exclusively tells Us Weekly of the Skims founder, 41. “She’s doing her best with the joint custody, but there are certain things that are hard to control.”
On Sunday, March 13, the 44-year-old “Famous” rapper slammed his ex-wife in a since-deleted Instagram post, saying that he had just spoken to Kardashian about North, 8, posting on TikTok.
“I told her to stop antagonizing me with this TikTok thing,” the Yeezy designer said in the video. “I said, ‘It’s never again.’ I am her father. I know y’all don’t respect fathers and the idea of family and the media tries to promote something. I said I am not allowing my daughter to be used by TikTok, by Disney. I have a say-so.”
Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 2, are the children of the former couple, who divorced in February 2021. West alleged in a Sunday tweet that the beauty mogul has banned him from seeing his children.
“I don’t have custody, I had to fight to have my kids, not on TikTok,” he alleged. “It’s always been a gang. It’s like we’ve never had Christmas anyplace else other than one location.”
Though the Grammy winner hasn’t lost his opinion about Kardashian and her boyfriend, Pete Davidson, an insider claims she’s looking forward to the day when they can all put the issue behind them.
“She and Kanye don’t see eye to eye on a lot of things which is very unfortunate, but it’s what she’s dealing with,” the source tells Us. “It’s a daily struggle and she hopes they can soon co-parent amicably.”
On Monday, March 14, the Selfish author publicly asked her ex-husband to stop spreading misinformation about the family’s custody situation. “Please stop with this narrative, you were just here this morning picking up the kids for school,” she wrote in an Instagram comment.
The reality star responded to a photo tweeted by West that featured a black backpack with three pins on it: an alien, Kardashian, and the “Heartless” artist.
“This was on my daughter’s backpack when I was ‘allowed’ to see her last week,” the producer wrote in his caption, referencing North. “This is why I go so hard for my family I am wired to protect my family at all cost[s]. As the priest of my home Don’t worry North God is still alive.”
