We have reached the Kardashians episode about Kanye West being anti-semitic

Isn’t this why God invented reality shows? To watch Kim Kardashian grapple with her ex-husband's bigotry months after it happened?

Sure, most episodes of The Kardashians consist of the people who inundate us with Instagram ads for diarrhea tea sitting around in leisurewear and complaining about their mom or something. But sometimes we get exactly what we’re looking for. Case in point: The latest episode of The Kardashians sees Kim Kardashian dealing with the fallout of her anti-semitic ex-husband, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, tripling down on his anti-Jewish conspiracy theories.

“It’s really confusing for me that it’s so different than the person that I married because that’s who I loved and that’s who I remember,” Kardashian says. “I’ll do anything to get that person back.”

We doubt Kim Kardashian could’ve imagined Kanye West taking this type of left hand turn when she married him in 2014. He was still two years away from publicly supporting Donald Trump.

“The whole situation is sad, and I don’t know how to emotionally manage it,” Kardashian continues. “I’m conflicted because I don’t ever want to jump in and be a part of a downfall for the father of my kids.”

Kardashian was more or less quiet on the subject of her estranged spouse’s fascistic fascinations. It makes sense; you want to save these moments for the camera. “I’m just not okay. I’m just having such a hard day today,” Kardashian says in the episode. “I literally haven’t changed my outfit in like two days. I just have to get it together. I just can’t.”

As she mentions in the episode, even things that used to fill her life with meaning (posting on social media) don’t offer the same thrill as she blames herself for the consequences of West’s actions. “I feel guilty that I posted something in support of the Jewish community, then people dropped him today,” Kim said. “Is that my fault? That I posted that? And did that push them? And I should have just kept quiet? But I’m vocal about everything else. I never know what to do.”

We suppose outwardly and repeatedly rejecting your husband’s dangerous hate speech would’ve been the first step. But sure, waiting for your TV show to drop nearly a year later also does some good, we guess.

    I like how she’s wearing underwear and a table covering, that’s fashion right there.

    • hootiehoo2-av says:

      I was gonna ask, what the fuck is she wearing but you explained it to me! So thanks! 

    • weaselrfu-av says:

      Looks like she made it out of fake cobwebs from Party City.

    • thepetemurray-darlingbasinauthorithy-av says:

      Are we sure its not caul fat, and she’s simply undergoing the HOTTEST moisturising craze sweeping social media, by which I mean she was paid $12.7 million by the Hog Farmers Association of America to walk around wrapped in the lard that cushions a pig’s internal organs like she’s a human terrine in order to sell more caul fat?

      • inspectorhammer-av says:

        If she decides to lay down on a barbecue pit for twelve hours then we’ll have our answer.

        • cannabuzz-av says:

          Is there a Go Fund Me campaign to make that a thing, maybe have her sisters join her?

        • thepetemurray-darlingbasinauthorithy-av says:

          Dude, no. Burning plastic is rank and really bad for the environment. Plus you’ll ruin a perfectly good barbeque pit.

    • stalkyweirdos-av says:

      That’s true, but it also appears true that Kanye had been obsessed with the evils of the Jewish people for many, many years before everyone else knew about it, so her surprise, while convenient, isn’t credible.  She’s not upset to discover he’s a Nazi, only to have everyone else learn about it.

    • milligna000-av says:

      just sounds like her doing damage control for her own reputation

  • ghboyette-av says:

    So AV Club pretty much only covers reality shows now. Go fuck yourselves. (Not the writers, the people in charge. The writers probably hate this more than we do)

    • dudebraa-av says:

      Not sure if you’ve been reading the news, but there’s not much else on TV right now to cover, bro.

      • ghboyette-av says:

        There’s plenty of decent shows on right now that this site would have covered back in the day. Off the top my my head, Strange New Worlds, Somebody Somewhere, From, This Fool.

        From your screen name I’m not the least surprised you don’t know this. Bro.

    • rosssmiller-av says:

      They’re currently only recapping like, 4 shows. It’s just a shame, given how strong the writing used to be, and the community that existed around it. Hardly anything similar exists now.

    • avonia-av says:

      Writers have a choice

    • dudebra-av says:

      That Nazi idiot who stole my user name is just being his usual piece of shit self. Feel free to flag and dismiss it.

      • dudebraa-av says:

        Feel free to suck my dick, you pudgy no pussy-getting liberal fuck. LMAO!

      • weirdstalkersareweird-av says:

        I do not know how these weird fucks don’t die of embarrassment.Seriously, how are people like that dude SO comfortable with being SO fucking pathetic?

    • drkschtz-av says:

      I mean it got done covering Succession when the show ended 2 months ago. It covers all the Disney+ franchise shows (YMMV on likeability, but they aren’t reality TV). Etc and so forth.

    • tarst-av says:

      This isn’t technically a program coverage. It’s an update to something people with less things to do were waiting for. I guess.

  • joestammer-av says:

    “I feel guilty that I posted something in support of the Jewish community, then people dropped him today,” Kim said. “Is that my fault? That I posted that? And did that push them?”No, Kim it was actually his antisemitism that got him dropped. Nice to make it about you though.

    FYI:
    The dudebra
    (account: dudebraa) imposter
    account posting here in this
    thread is NOT the
    long-established account
    user known in the Giz
    family.
    The

    shriveled-soul imposter has
    several accounts being used to
    harass Kinja users, by
    posting sexist, racist and
    other vileness here
    , but primarily on The Root
    and on Jezebel, trying
    to discredit the actual,
    long-established account
    users.If the real dudebra does post here, it’ll be account: dudebra and won’t be racist.

  • weirdstalkersareweird-av says:

    ::sees weird copycat commenter in grays::How the fuck are you not embarrassed? Like, all the damned time?

  • anathanoffillions-av says:

    On the one hand, Kanye has tried to basically abduct her children and force them to join a cult, broke from reality and started being pro-Trump and pro-Hitler, threatened men she is dating, etc., and her reaction to this, to basically have a mini-breakdown, is entirely human and appropriate. On the other hand, he said antisemitic shit a long time before this and everybody has vouched for that. Here is an ADL article about him from 2013…I’m sure Kim had no awareness of it, yeah right: https://www.adl.org/resources/press-release/kanye-west-says-black-people-dont-have-connections-jews-fueling-classic

    Kardashian literally condemned West’s comments in real time (see below). But it’s also not a woman’s job to apologize for the shithead she used to be with. And I don’t think, whatever misgivings you might have about the family, that anti-semitism was ever on the list of cons. Like, no one was wondering if Kim was a secret nazi. Not only that, but Kim Kardashian was clearly in an abusive relationship and internalized a lot of toxic behavior. Her husband controlled what she wore and, long after they parted ways, her own show displays (in this very episode) the ways in which she takes on the blame for the impacts of his behavior, as if she and not Kanye were responsible for his downfall. That’s a clear sign of a person who’s been emotionally abused. Feel how you want about them as influencers, but I think most people can get on board with condemning the things her husband did to her. https://www.forbes.com/sites/marisadellatto/2022/10/24/kim-kardashian-condemns-anti-semitism-as-kanye-west-draws-backlash/?sh=2fed6fd041dd
