Kim Kardashian Responds to Kanye West Divorce Rumors
Divorce rumors have plagued Kim Kardashian and Kanye West since their wedding day, but in recent weeks, the couple has endured one of the most difficult rough patches of their marriage.
It all started when Kim was robbed at gunpoint at a hotel in Paris last month.
Just a few weeks later, Kanye was hospitalized following an emotional breakdown, requiring over a week of in-patient treatment at the UCLA Medical Center.
Needless to say, it was a month that would put any marriage to the test, and insiders say Kim and Kanye are most certainly feeling the strain.
There have been rumors that Kim and Kanye were on the verge of divorce in the weeks leading up to his hospitalization, and that his crumbling marriage was one of the things that led to the rapper’s psychological collapse.
The narrative went something like this:
Kim turned to Kanye for support in the wake of her traumatic experience in Paris.
She found that her husband’s reputation for self-obsession and emotional instability were well-earned, and he was not up to the task of supporting a partner in the midst of a crisis.
Sources claimed Kim was standing by Kanye’s side following his release from the hospital on Wednesday, but that when he was in a more stable place, they would continue discussing separation options.
Neither party has addressed the issue directly, but today, an insider sanctioned to speak for Kim issued a statement to People magazine.
“That is not accurate,” says the source, in reference to the divorce rumors.
“There are frustrations and problems, like any relationship, but they love each other deeply.”
The insider stated that Kim still considers Kanye to be “her best friend and soul mate.”
“Kanye is at home with Kim and the kids,” says a different source.
“He seems okay and happy to be home. Kim’s family is visiting.”
The second insider concedes that Kim has asked Kanye to make some changes:
“He needs to learn how to better balance his work and family life,” says the unnamed friend of Kim’s.
Our thoughts go out to the Kardashian-West clan, and we hope Kanye is able to receive whatever sort of help he needs.

Donald Trump to Pakistani Prime Minister: I Love You, Bruh!
The election of Donald Trump was like the ending of The Sixth Sense:
A shocking, sad turn of events that makes you realize you’re in the hands of a master manipulator.
The events of the three weeks since Hillary Clinton’s concession have been like a
A succession of increasingly brazen middle fingers to logic and common sense.
We’re sure you’ve heard about Trump feuding with the cast of Hamilton.
And of course there’s the thoroughly justified outrage over Trump’s staff appointments, which include a white nationalist (Steve Bannon), the guy who financed the Entourage movie (Steven Mnuchin), and a man so corrupt that he would need to notify his parole officer if he accepts the job (David Petraeus).
But from the time he first announced his candidacy, one of the biggest concerns about President-elect Trump had to do with his complete lack of foreign policy experience and his inflammatory comments about the governments and citizens of other nations.
Trump’s recent telephone conversation with Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif provided the perfect example of why his unique combination of bloviating self-aggrandizement and shameless glad-handing may not be the right tone for the geopolitical stage
As you may already know, US-Pakistani relations have been tense for decades.
In addition to the fact that Pakistan has been accused of knowingly harboring terrorists (Osama bin Laden was killed there in 2011), the nation is forever at odds with India over the disputed Kashmir territory, and many fear that the situation could erupt in a nuclear conflict.
Needless to say, it’s an incredibly delicate situation, so naturally Trump is handling the situation with all the tactful grace of one of his Rosie O’Donnell tweets.
“Ready and willing to play any role that you want me to play to address and find solutions to the outstanding problems,” Trump reportedly told Sharif, a man who could potentially bring about the nuclear apocalypse.
He reportedly added:
“You are a terrific guy. You are doing amazing work which is visible in every way.”
To understand the bizarre nature of this situation, it helps to think of the situation as a game of Risk.
The US has gone to great lengths to ensure that Pakistan is aware that it maintains strong ties to India, while Pakistan has been allying itself with China.
Basically, instead of taking his turn to roll the dice, Trump just upended the game board, which was no easy feat with his tiny, tiny hands.
