Khloé went on to say that folks have “wanted to cancel” the rapper for some time. “This is probably just the last thing, but this too shall pass.”
Kim admitted the scenario is “really f***ing hard.”
“I don’t wish that upon anybody. I’m never like a ‘woe is me’ sad kind of person, but there’s times where I get overwhelmed,” she acknowledged in her confessional. “There’s so much to think about. I’m so angry but I’m also so sad. Your instinct wants to be like ‘Wow, like I can never talk to this person again.’ But then you think of your babies and so I’m having a hard time figuring it out.”
Later on within the episode, Kim is filmed spending time along with her 4 children amid the scandal who’re unaware concerning the scenario.
“It’s just hard for me to figure out like — if they don’t know anything, why wouldn’t dad come over to dinner? Why isn’t dad at my things? That kills me. It’s the one thing that gives me anxiety. Then I’m embarrassed if people are going to say something at a game or a function, is it safe, is it dangerous?” Kim instructed the cameras. “I just don’t know what to do. So, I’ve been managing it the best way that I know how because I want my kids to see a healthy dad. You know, it’s just a lot.”
