The Bravo reality star thinks Kanye was experiencing a sort of mental illness and calls out the Kardashian family for doing nothing to intervene and help him.
“I’ve been boiling about this. It is an emergency. Mental health is no laughing matter. And at a time when we are calling ourselves re-evaluating the value of Black lives, one, in particular, seems to hang in the balance while those who have the power to intercede sit by and collect chèques and do nothing,” Dillard wrote in the caption accompanying her video post about West, according to The Blast.
Dillard feels the Kardashians are not looking out for West's best interests.
“The Kardashians don’t give a f*** about Kanye West. They could give zero f**** about Kanye West, the man, the person, the black man, the black person, and if that was never clear to any of you before, let this circus that is currently running a muck be the exact example you need to see that,” Dillard said in the video.
Candiace went on to add that she believes West needs professional help for his mental issues, “Kanye West needs to be committed, temporarily,” she said in a series of videos she shared on Instagram.
“He is not well and the fact that his family, the people that he counts on and depends on to take care of him are allowing him to be out in the world to make a complete ass of himself–he’s making a complete fool of himself–and I can’t even begin to tell you how angry it makes me to see these white women allow this sick black man to be out here looking crazy,” she said.
Kim addressed her husband's behavior on social media. “As many of you know, Kanye has bi-polar disorder,” she explained via her Instagram Story on Wednesday, according to Us Weekly. “Anyone who has this or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand. 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.”
Kim went on to note that loved ones of those suffering from mental health issues are “powerless” because the person affected must “engage in the process of getting help no matter how hard family and friends try.”
