Kanye West’s Breakdown: Kim Kardashian Didn’t Know It Was Happening, Source Reports

If you didn’t see the Kanye West breakdown coming, don’t worry. Kim Kardashian didn’t either.

According to a new report from People, Kanye West’s wife didn’t realize before he was hospitalized that Kanye was having a breakdown.

According to the unnamed source for People, Kim and Kanye weren’t spending much time together before he was hospitalized, causing the internet to go crazy with divorce rumors. But it wasn’t a possibility of a divorce that was causing problem’s in the Kimye relationship.

Instead, it was the beginning stages of Kanye’s breakdown, the People source reported.

“The divorce rumors come from before he had the breakdown. She didn’t know what was up with him and they weren’t spending time together. She didn’t realize it was a mental breakdown.”

Kanye was hospitalized on Nov. 21 after his doctor reportedly called police to have the rapper admitted to the UCLA Medical Center. Initial reports indicated that Kanye was dealing with the aftermath of sleep deprivation and dehydration, but as time passed, other stories began to emerge.

Eventually sources began to report that West was dealing with symptoms of paranoia. Sources indicated that West believed everyone was out to get him and his family and that he only trusted one person: his wife, Kim Kardashian.

The reports of paranoia are unconfirmed, but if true, no one could blame the 39-year-old rapper. Kanye’s breakdown came on the heels of a terrifying incident for his wife.

At the beginning of October, Kim Kardashian was sleeping in a Paris apartment when masked men stormed into her room looking for jewelry. The robbers bound and gagged the reality TV queen and threw her in a bathtub, where Kardashian reportedly believed she would be assaulted or killed. Instead, the thieves left the 36-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians star physically unharmed, though they did make away with about $10 million in jewels.

In the months that followed, Kardashian retreated from social media and canceled all of her public appearances. Her sisters Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian each reported that Kim was struggling to get past the incident. If that’s the case, it makes sense that she may not have noticed any issues that Kanye was dealing with. Reports have indicated that while the robbery shook Kardashian, it “unsettled” Yeezy more than anyone else, and the incident reportedly caused some tension in their marriage.

Still, divorce was never something the couple considered, the unnamed source for People reported, saying “splitting is not even a point of discussion.”

“Truly no truth behind divorce rumors. It’s not something she would divorce him over. He had a breakdown, but it does not pertain to them not getting along.”

During Kanye’s hospitalization, Kardashian made it a point to spend as much time as she possibly could at her husband’s bedside, though the mother of two also had other responsibilities to tend to as Kanye recovered from his breakdown.

Still, after Kanye was released from the hospital on Nov. 30, the couple announced that they would cancel any scheduled public appearances for the remainder of 2016. Prior to his hospital admission, West had already canceled the remaining stops on his Saint Pablo tour.

Even though they canceled appearances, Kanye has been seen in public on a few different occasions. He was first spotted at an art installation sporting a new, blonde hairstyle. Later Kanye made headlines when he met with President-Elect Donald Trump.

What do you think of the notion that Kim Kardashian didn’t know Kanye West was struggling prior to his hospitalization? Do you think it’s possible that Kanye’s breakdown could have gone unnoticed by his wife? Why or why not?
