That has been my reaction every time I have come across a Kanye West social media post these past few weeks. Muted on Twitter and unfollowed on Instagram, yet his posts – in ALL CAPS glory and screaming at us – have followed me around on every social media platform. And here I thought one could train these platforms to not show you things you are not interested in.
And yet I still could see everything. And every time I spotted a post or read a tweet about what he posted, I recoiled in disgust and alarm at how people weren’t outraged. Because what he was doing was tantamount to harassment.
Separation and divorce are hard. I can imagine that this is even more difficult as a public figure with a net worth of more than a billion dollars (R15.1bn), thriving careers and four children. However, there have been divorces that have been handled with the utmost respect between parties. This is why there is no excuse for what Kanye West is doing to his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian West.
His behaviour at seeing Kardashian with her rumoured new boyfriend, SNL comedian, Pete Davidson, has seen the rapper spiral like never before.
This led to the 44-year-old rapper using Instagram and Twitter to lash out at both Kardashian and Davidson, accusing Kardashian of keeping him away from his children, allowing North, their firstborn child, to use TikTok without his permission, and urging his fans to attack Davidson, whom he now calls “Skete
During his recent dalliance, a showmance, really, with actress Julia Fox, he mirrored everything he did with Kardashian, putting Fox in designer brands Kardashian wears and taking over her wardrobe and styling, like he did when he first got together with Kardashian in 2011.
And society just laughed at this. We laughed at the “Kardashians getting justice” and how “Kim deserves this treatment” from West. And yet it’s a sure sign of him being abusive to Kardashian.
A recent post by Facebook user Jacalyn Wetzel summed it up perfectly when she outlined the tell-tale signs of gender-based violence.
