The clip captured Kim crying as she called herself a “loser” as her young sister Kendall Jenner looked on.

The new season will be the last one for KUWTK, which has been airing on E! since 2007.

Fans can expect to see plenty of dramatic storylines on the final season of KUWTK, though all eyes will be on Kim’s relationship with her soon to be ex-husband.

Mirror previously revealed viewers could get a glimpse of Kim’s mental process as she prepared to file for divorce.

She filed for divorce last month and is asking for joint legal and physical custody of the couple’s four kids, TMZ previously reported.

Kim and Kanye, 43, share daughters North, seven, and Chicago, three, and sons Saint, five, and Psalm, one.

A source close to the beauty mogul previously told The Sun that their divorce has been “all amicable,” adding “there’s no drama” as they’re set to divide their $2Billion fortune.

The rapper has reportedly had a difficult time with the divorce, as an insider told Us Weekly: “Kanye has been trying to throw himself into work the past few weeks, but it’s been hard to stay focused with the split weighing on him.”

The source claimed: “Kim was always Kanye’s dream girl – even before they got together – so the thought of her not being his wife anymore is a lot to take in. Whether it’s the best decision for their family or not.”

Meanwhile, Kayne doesn’t seem like he may want to move on as he’s been seen with his wedding ring on.

Kim is said to have reached her breaking point in the marriage due to the hitmaker’s controversial comments, though Kanye allegedly believes his failed 2020 bid for president “cost him his marriage.”

A source exclusively told The Sun: “One of the main reasons Kim has held off so long on this divorce is her fear of losing her identity.

“In her eyes, she is Kanye West’s wife. They are ‘Kim and Kanye.’

“She had always wanted to be married and wanted nothing more than to stay that way. She not only fell in love with Kanye but also fell in love with the idea of ‘Kim and Kanye.'”

The insider added: “As a Kardashian she 100 percent sees the value of her marriage not just as a family but as an empire.

“This divorce not only represents losing the man she loves but losing who they are as a pair and as a brand.”
