Kim Kardashian has asked that a judge sign off on her divorce from Kanye West because the rapper has failed to keep details of their divorce and family matters "private" and, as a result, has caused her "emotional distress".

In new court documents viewed by TMZ, the mom-of-four said: "I very much desire to be divorced," and referenced the "misinformation" that the rapper, 44, has been spreading via his social media platforms.

"I have asked Kanye to keep our divorce private, but he has not done so," Kardashian wrote, per Billboard. "Kanye has been putting a lot of misinformation regarding our private family matters and co-parenting on social media which has created emotional distress."

"I believe that the Court terminating our marital status will help Kanye to accept that our marital relationship is over and to move forward on a better path which will assist us in peacefully co-parenting our children," Kardashian added.

Despite her request for divorce, West has continuously attempted to publicly reconcile with his estranged wife. In recent weeks, the rapper has also taken to social media to discuss the divorce and slam Kardashian's current boyfriend Pete Davidson.

West has made all his digs on Instagram. The posts - who have now been deleted - included screenshots of texts he'd received from both Kardashian and Davidson, and memes that he captioned with harassing messages about the pair.

The rapper previously shared texts he'd received from Kardashian, which said West was "creating a dangerous and scary environment and someone will hurt Pete and this will be all your fault," later saying: "There are dangerous people out there and this is scary and it doesn't have to be."

The 'Stronger' hitmaker replied to his estranged wife via text: "I will always do everything to protect you and our family forever. And I listened to you and told everyone to make sure nothing physical happens to Skete."

"Cause I got a text from my favorite person in the world," he added. "I'm your number one fan ... Why wouldn't I tell everyone!!!!"

In his attack on Davidson, West called the SNL comedian a "d***head" and shared a screengrab of his private text to him.

The comedian had texted the rapper: "...you as a man I'd never get in the way of your children. That's a promise. How you guys go about raising your kids is your business and not mine. I do hope [some] day I can meet them and we can all be friends."

West shared a pantsless snap of Davidson with his friend Machine Gun Kelly captioned: "No you will never meet my children."

It comes after West sent Kardashian a truckload full of red roses on Valentine's Day - despite her very much being in a relationship with Davidson.

Kanye West and Kris Jenner had a tense argument over the musician’s mental health, a new documentary has revealed. 

The film In Whose Name? was released in selected cinemas yesterday (September 19) and shows off ‘Ye’ in his typically controversial form. 

In one particular scene, West could be seen having an impassioned debate with his then-mother-in-law Jenner about his time in hospital. 

Kanye West was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2016

The film, directed by Nick Ballesteros, has attracted attention because of a particularly angry exchange between the Gold Digger rapper and Jenner.

West was married to Kim Kardashian at the time, and appeared to feel aggrieved and believe that nobody from the family supported him when he was hospitalized.

The 48-year-old also seemed to be angered by suggestions that he should take medication for his condition, stating to Jenner that he would ‘rather be dead than on medication’. 

In the scene, West told Jenner: “No one from the family has taken any responsibility for my hospital visit,

“That's 50 percent of what people say at least. Am I lying?”

Kris responded: “It doesn’t matter…”

At that point, Ye screamed: “It does matter!”

He repeated that phrase loudly several times before Jenner cut back in: “I haven't finished the sentence,

“It matters to us and you. 

“It doesn't matter what the internet says. 

“It matters what we think, Ye.”

After a brief pause while West left the room, he returned to ask: “So, what do you think?

“Did you have an effect on my mental health?”

Kris responded: “Yes! I'm saying yes. and I love you,

“I love you. I don't want you to be not perfect. 

“I love you, and I want my daughter to love you the way you want her to love you.”

The controversy doesn’t end there

The documentary also features some tense moments between Ye and his now ex-wife Kim. 

The pair, who divorced in 2021 and have four children together, were clearly struggling in their marriage, and Kim could be heard crying and telling West: “Your personality was not like this a few years ago.”

Kim and Kanye were together for a long time, first being seen together in public in 2012. 

However, despite sharing four kids together, the pair announced their split in 2021. 

In Whose Name? is in selected cinemas now.

Kim Kardashian has issued a statement on Kanye West's mental health.

The reality television star took to her Instagram Stories today (Wednesday, 22nd July) to call for "compassion" and "empathy", as she discussed her husband's bipolar disorder. The follows the rapper posting a slew of tweets that prompted widespread concern.

"As many of you know, Kanye has bi-polar [sic] disorder. Anyone who has this or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand," Kim wrote.

"I've never spoken publicly about how this has affected us at home because I am very protective of our children and Kanye's right to privacy when it comes to his health. But today, I feel like I should comment on it because of the stigma and misconceptions about mental health," the mother-of-four continued.

"Those that understand mental illness or even compulsive behavior know that the family is powerless unless the member is a minor. People who are unaware or far removed from this experience can be judgmental and not understand that the individual themselves have to engage in the process of getting help no matter how hard family and friends try."

While the 39-year-old noted that she "understands" that Kanye is "subject to criticism because he is a public figure and his actions at times can cause strong opinions and emotions," she added: "He is a brilliant but complicated person who on top of the pressures of being an artist and a black man, who experienced the painful loss of his mother, has to deal with the pressure and isolation that is heightened by his bi-polar disorder. Those who are close with Kanye know his heart and understand his words some times do not align with his intentions."

The 43-year-old rapper took to Twitter on Wednesday morning (July 22) to assert that he's been wanting to end his marriage to the reality television star wife since she met with Meek Mill to discuss prison reform around November of 2018, in a slew of now-deleted tweets.

“MJ told you about Tommy before they killed him Kim saved my daughters life in the name of Jesus It’s Gods choice only I will live for my children Kris I’m in Cody if your not planning another one of your children’s playboy shoots [sic],” he wrote.

"They tried to fly in with 2 doctors to 51/50 me I been trying to get divorced since Kim met with Meek at the Warldolf for ‘prison reform’ I got 200 more to go This my lady tweet of the night … Kris Jong-Un Lil baby my favorite rapper but won’t do a song wit me [sic],” the rapper continued.

He then went onto assert: "Meek is my man and was respectful That’s my dog Kim was out of line I’m worth 5 billion dollars and more than that through Christ But ya’ll ain’t listen to MJ and now ya’ll believe them??? [sic]"

“Kriss and Kim put out a statement without my approval … that’s not what a wife should do White supremacy [sic],” Kanye added.

Earlier this week, Kanye alleged that Kim Kardashian tried to get a doctor to "lock" him up after he spoke about how the couple considered an abortion while expecting their first child, North West. These tweets have also since been deleted.

The rapper, who says he is running for the 2020 presidential candidacy, told a crowd in South Carolina on Sunday that a message from God convinced him to keep the baby, who was born in 2013.

West, who has been open about his bipolar disorder diagnosis, took to Twitter on Monday evening to claim that his reality television star wife attempted to bring a doctor to his ranch in Wyoming. He even compared the situation to Jordan Peele's 2017 horror film, Get Out, which sees disturbing psychological tricks used on Daniel Kaluuya's character.

"Everybody knows the movie get out is about me," he wrote in one of the deleted tweets. He went onto to demand that Kim and his mother-in-law,  Kris Jenner, "call me now".

"I put my life on my God that Norths mom would never photograph her doing playboy and that’s on God I’m at the ranch ... come and get me," he continued.

West alleged that Vogue editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, "looked at me like I was crazy," when he told her about the deal to sell his Yeezy fashion line through Gap stores.

He also shared a photo of himself with his four children, in a tweet that has not been removed.

This comes a day after an event in North Charleston, South Carolina, where Kanye spoke about his presidential bid.

Per The Evening Standard, the 43-year-old wore a protective vest during the event and had "2020" shaved into his head. He suggested giving struggling mothers one million dollars to discourage abortions.

However, last week it emerged that the Yeezy designer missed the deadline to appear on the presidential ballot in South Carolina. He did not submit a petition of 10,000 signatures by noon local time on Monday and would therefore not appear on the ballot, a state official said, per the publication.

South Carolina State Election Commission spokesman Chris Whitmire stated: "The deadline has passed for any candidate to submit a petition for the November 3, 2020, General Election. Kanye West did not submit a petition."

Being married to a celebrity must be hard - just think about having to deal with the stress of your partner's negative publicity all the time. Now imagine that you're Kim Kardashian, and you'll probably have to multiply that headache by about 1000 times. Kanye West, Kim's spouse, has never been the kind of man to shy away from controversy, and the last couple of months have been no different.

Recently Kanye, who has fully endorsed Donald Trump throughout his first term, met with the president at the White House, and the two men appeared to get on famously, with Kanye even giving Trump a fond hug. However, their chumminess has provoked outrage in the African-American community, with many accusing him of being an 'Uncle Tom.' Now it seems that Kanye's antics have turned the rest of the Kardashian family against him, including Kim herself.

A source has told People magazine that Kanye has made Kim feel: "very uncomfortable and unhappy with the whole situation. She finds Kanye brilliant, so it makes her upset when he goes on these public rants and comes across as someone who isn’t well...She knows he isn’t healthy right now, but it’s impossible to get across to him."

The same source allegedly stated that "[Kim] lets [Kanye] take the lead, and she never disagrees with him publicly. She has decided that’s the right move, but she isn’t scared to share her disagreements with him behind closed doors. Don’t think that she’s afraid of him, because she’s not. She’s just managing him the best she can. Having all this backlash against Kanye is embarrassing for her and her family, but she will never say that."

Kanye, Kim and their daughter North are currently in Uganda together, as Kanye is due to record a track for his ninth studio album Yandhi along with rapper Big Sean. The family is allegedly staying at the luxurious Chombe Safari Lodge in Murchison Falls National Park.

After West's meeting with Trump made the news, Rapper TI took to Instagram to disparage him, writing:  "I’ve been extremely patient and made a point to not jump to any premature conclusions about Ye. But now this sh*t is next level, futuristic Sambo, Hopping Bob, Stephen off Django [Unchained] ass s**t. You ass kissing and bootlicking on a whole new level and I refuse to associate myself with something so vile, weak, [and] inconsiderate to the effect this has on the greater good of ALL OUR PEOPLE ... At one time it was a pleasure to work alongside you... now, I’m ashamed to have ever been associated with you. [sic]"

It remains to be seen in Kanye's reputation will be able to recover from his affiliation with Trump, but he's never been one to bow to public opinion, so it's pretty unlikely that he'll back down. What else would you expect from him at this stage?

After firing a string of scathing social media attacks aimed at his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her current Pete Davidson, Kanye West is now claiming that Kardashian can't prove he penned them himself.

A verified Instagram account belonging to the rapper, 44, has published and since-deleted multiple public pleas for Kim to come back to him.

Other posts targeted her current boyfriend, as well as private conversations between the two co-parents. The account has also claimed one of the rapper's children, North, was using TikTok without his permission.

Last week, Kim asked that a judge sign off on her divorce from Kanye because he failed to keep details of their divorce and family matters "private" and, as a result, has caused her "emotional distress".

In court documents viewed by TMZ, the mom-of-four said: "I very much desire to be divorced," and referenced the "misinformation" that the rapper, 44, has been spreading via his social media platforms.

"I have asked Kanye to keep our divorce private, but he has not done so," Kardashian wrote, per Billboard. "Kanye has been putting a lot of misinformation regarding our private family matters and co-parenting on social media which has created emotional distress."

"I believe that the Court terminating our marital status will help Kanye to accept that our marital relationship is over and to move forward on a better path which will assist us in peacefully co-parenting our children," the reality TV star added.

On Friday, Kanye filed court docs to dispute Kim's claim that he’s been spreading misinformation regarding their relationship on social media, calling her claims "double hearsay."

According to his lawyer, it can't be proven that West actually wrote those posts and because of this, they should not be admissible. At the time of the attacks, Kanye even posted a photo of himself holding up a piece of paper that read: "My account is not hacked," alongside the date "2/13/22".

"Kim claims she read something online allegedly by Kanye and characterizes the posts in her declaration as misinformation," the rapper's lawyer said in court documents. "The social media posts are not attached to the declaration."

"Kim needed to offer the social media posts into evidence, and show that the posts were written by Kanye. Had that been done, the posts would be admissible as statements of a party opponent. Instead, Kim argues a point that is not in the record."

The rapper previously shared texts he'd received from Kim, which said West was "creating a dangerous and scary environment and someone will hurt Pete and this will be all your fault," later saying: "There are dangerous people out there and this is scary and it doesn't have to be."
