Kim Kardashian spoke at length about her ex-husband Kanye West, including his decision to publicly accuse her of “hooking up with Drake,” on the widely headlined Season 3 premiere of The Kardashians on Hulu.
On Thursday (May 25), season 3 of The Kardashians premiered on Hulu and the emotionally-filled episode one featured Kim Kardashian reflecting on her separation from Kanye West and her relationship with now ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson.
Near the end of the hour-long show, Kim had a sit-down with her momager Kris Jenner as they discussed some of Kanye’s wild antics last year while she was dating Pete.
“And the one that was supposed to protect me, and still does interviews saying they will be my ‘forever protector,’ is the one that is hurting me the most,”
Kim says.
“He was the one that started a rumor that said I was hooking up with Drake, having an affair our whole marriage. He accused me of that publicly … I really can’t wrap my head around how he thinks he is a protector.”
In a separate confessional, Kardashian goes on to reveal that Ye often asked her for final approval over what she says about him on the hit Hulu show, creating a glaring double standard when he talks about her in his music, in the press and on his often errant social media channels.
“And I never say anything bad,” she tells the camera. “I never say anything negative. If I say, ‘I’m exhausted,’ I feel guilty about that. I am f–king exhausted! … It’s just always so intense. I don’t want to engage in a public feud with him.”
Elsewhere in the episode, Kim opened up about her breakup with Pete Davidson, whom she started dating shortly after she filed for divorce from Ye.
“There was like, a lot of guilt. He went through a lot because, you know, of my relationship,” she told her sister Khloé and Scott Disick.
During the nine months that Kardashian and Davidson were dating, Ye, who was still legally married to Kim at the time, repeatedly targeted Davidson publicly.
Speaking about her current dating situation, Kim said she wants to stay single for now, but questioned whether any future partner will be able to handle everything about her, from her children to her complex relationship with Ye.
“I go back and forth in my feelings sometimes, like, who is ever going to want to date me? I have four kids. I’m in my forties. Who is going to want to deal with the drams?” Kim said.
“My person will be like, fuck all of that,” she added. “Like, it’s gonna be hard, but we’re together, and we’re gonna like, do this, so I’m just waiting for that person.”
