Is Kim Kardashian Quitting ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ Amid Kanye West Divorce Rumors?
Is Kim Kardashian ready to move on from the show that made her and her family famous?
According to a new report, Kim Kardashian wants to cut ties with Keeping Up With the Kardashians after being “embarrassed” by her husband Kanye West’s Yeezy Season 4 event in New York City.
On September 8, a source told Radar Online that Kim Kardashian was “utterly embarrassed” after Kanye West, the father of her two children, North West and Saint West, debuted the newest collection of Yeezy wear during New York Fashion Week. According to the outlet, Kim Kardashian’s husband’s show and fashions were “roundly trounced by critics” after a number of models passed out during the event and another took off her shoes midway down the outdoor runway.

During the show, Kim Kardashian and her younger half-sister, Kendall Jenner, were seated in the front row, along with Kylie Jenner and her rapper boyfriend, Tyga, and witnessed everything as it happened. However, as the insider noted, Kim Kardashian is sick and tired of being linked to her famous siblings and has been trying to distance herself from them.
“[Kim Kardashian] has everyone in her family really worried because she is doing her best to push them all away!” the insider told Radar Online.
The insider also suggested Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were at odds and claimed Kardashian was at her breaking point after giving up so much for her husband.
For the past several months, Kim Kardashian and her husband have been facing rumors of a possibly impending divorce. In June, a Hollywood Life source spoke out about the couple’s possible split, claiming that West’s neediness and insecurities had led to tension in their relationship.
“Kanye is a great guy but he’s incredibly needy. Despite his constant bragging he also can be very insecure. He wants [Kim Kardashian]’s attention all the time to the point where she feels like she has another kid,” the insider alleged. “He also gets his feelings hurt easily. If he wants to have sex and Kim isn’t in the mood he gets offended. Which is tough because he always wants to make love to Kim. That puts a lot of pressure on Kim.”

As for whether or not Kim Kardashian will be leaving the show as her reported marital issues with West continue, the Radar Online report revealed that Kardashian has threatened to leave the show several times before. However, because the reality star and her family signed a contract with the E! Network worth a reported $100 million, and lasting until 2019, she likely won’t be able to leave the series — at least not without losing a substantial amount of money.
Although Kim Kardashian’s future with the series reportedly remains up in the air, one person who is reportedly on board with the idea of her leaving E! is her husband.
“Kanye told [Kim Kardashian] that he wants her to leave the show and that she should get out before the ratings crash even more,” the source explained. “Kim knows that she carries the show and that is just adding a lot of stress to her life. At this point, she just wants it to be done with it.”
For more of Kim Kardashian and her family, tune into the remaining episodes of Keeping Up With the Kardashians Season 12, which begin airing on October 23 at 9 p.m. on the E! Network.
