Kanye West takes ‘coward’ step to avoid Kim Kardashian at Super Bowl
At the 2024 Super Bowl, Kanye West took an unconventional approach to avoid a potential encounter with his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, by donning a peculiar mask that concealed his face. This act was interpreted by some as an attempt to navigate the event without drawing attention to a possible run-in with Kardashian.
Body language expert Judi James, in a discussion with The Mirror, analyzed the demeanor of West and his current partner, Bianca Censori, suggesting that both appeared to be under a cloud of anxiety at the thought of crossing paths with the Skims founder.
James delved into the facial expressions of Censori, an Australian beauty, noting signs of wariness and tension. This observation led James to speculate about the undercurrents of discomfort that might have been present due to the high-profile nature of the event and the potential for awkward encounters. Kanye’s choice of attire, described by James as “Darth Vader-chic,” equipped with a crucifix face mask, was seen as a strategic, albeit dramatic, way to mask any emotional responses such as anxiety or apprehension about meeting not just Kardashian, but also her current partner, Odell Beckham Jr., and even Taylor Swift, with whom West has had a tumultuous public history.
The decision to obscure his own emotions while leaving Censori’s facial expressions exposed was critiqued by James as perhaps not the most gallant strategy, especially given the complex dynamics involving West’s ex-wife and her new romantic interest being in the same vicinity. This move, according to James, might not be perceived as the most courageous or considerate towards Censori, especially in a setting rife with personal histories and public scrutiny.
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, who were married for a decade, went their separate ways in 2021, ending one of the most followed marriages in celebrity culture. Despite their split, the former couple continues to co-parent their four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm, navigating the complexities of their post-divorce relationship in the public eye. The 2024 Super Bowl incident adds another chapter to the ongoing narrative of their relationship dynamics, highlighting the challenges and strategies involved in managing personal interactions in highly publicized settings.
