Kim Kardashian opened up about some of the reasons why she divorced Kanye West… and revealed he should hit ‘rock bottom’ on his own on this week’s episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians.

Kim, 42, and West, 45, started dating in October 2012 before the rapper popped the question in October 2013 and they tied the knot in May 2014 before Kim filed for divorce in 2022.

The former couple share four kids together – North, Chicago, Saint and Psalm – with Kim revealing to her mother Kris Jenner in the new episode – entitled Don’t Want It, Don’t Need It, I’m Done – that she was tired of being his ‘clean-up crew’ when he acted out.

The episode begins where the Season 3 premiere left off – with Kim Kardashian crying while talking to her mother Kris about her divorce from Kanye West, who recently made headlines for moving his new office next to Adidas in Hollywood.

‘I don’t want to be part of this narrative and it’s like when is this ever gonna end? Like it never will and I’m stuck with this for the rest of my life,’ Kim says, adding she was, ‘so overwhelmed.’

Kim admits she got tired of being “Kanye’s clean-up crew”

Kris adds that she can’t, ‘control somebody else’ adding that Kanye is, ‘doing this to himself,’ but Kim says this is affecting their four children too – North, Chicago, Saint and Psalm.

‘Of course it does. That’s the tragic part of the whole story,’ Kris insists, while Kim says through tears in confession that she still feels the need to ‘not talk about it and protect it from my kids and I always will feel that way… but like God, if people knew… I just would never do that to my kids. It just is really crazy.’

Kim tells Kris that if Kanye were to hit ‘rock bottom, that’s his journey that he needs to figure out on his own.’

‘I used to run around and call everyone behind his back and be like, “It’s gonna be OK, don’t worry, just give him another chance.” I used to spend hours and hours and hours of my days as the clean-up crew,’ Kim says.

Kris mentioned that is why she divorced him and Kim says she, ‘doesn’t have that energy anymore,’ and Kris added, ‘Nobody does, and you never deserve to live like that.’

Kim adds in confession, ‘It’s the hardest feeling, to watch someone you really loved and you have a family with, just be so different than who you knew.’

Kris mentions that she’s sure Kim and Kanye’s nine-year-old daughter North is, ‘hearing something’ about her father, ‘and maybe she won’t say it.’

Kim clarifies, ‘She actually doesn’t know, and that’s what makes it so crazy. When stuff is said, it’s a chain to my whole household – “No TV, only Apple TV!” I can’t risk Access Hollywood coming up next or anything on the news coming up with their dad mentioned and they want to watch. They still haven’t seen anything but I go into crisis mode.’
