Kim Kardashian opens up about ‘toxic’ marriage to Kanye West

Years after her high-profile divorce from Kanye West, Kim Kardashian is finally opening up about the emotional toll of their marriage and the painful decision to walk away.

In her guest appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, the reality star and business mogul reflected on her “toxic” marriage, her decision to stay for as long as she did and the painful moment she knew she had to leave.

During the conversation, Kardashian discussed the difficulty of watching her ex-husband experience mental health challenges, saying that at the time, she wanted to be supportive and “really get into that with them and be there for them.” 

She acknowledged that some people might believe she ignored the warning signs, but she insisted that her actions came from a place of compassion and hope that things could improve.

However, Kardashian admitted that West was not willing to make the changes that could have been “super healthy and beneficial.” It eventually became clear that their relationship was no longer sustainable. 

“It makes it really hard to continue on in a relationship that can be toxic,” she said, noting how much harder it was to leave because of their four children, North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm.

The Skims founder said she reached a breaking point when her own mental well-being began to decline. Once her emotional state started affecting her ability to parent, she realized something had to change. 

“I had to save myself in order to be a better mom for everyone,” Kardashian shared, adding that she believes her children will understand her decision as they grow older.

Looking back, Kardashian described herself as a forgiving person who tends to “only remember the good,” but she admitted that she hasn’t allowed herself to fall into any “toxic relationships” since the divorce. 

Now in her 40s, she said with conviction, “When you get older, you just don’t tolerate that s—. You don’t have time.”
