Today, Kim Kardashian West took to her Instagram Stories to deal with Kanye West’s since-deleted tweets which mentioned he sought after to divorce Kim when he learned she and Meek Mill met to discuss "prison reform," perhaps implying that she cheated on him. 

Kanye also tweeted about Kris Jenner, calling her “Kris Jong-Un” and claiming that the Kardashian-Jenner family tried to place a “51/50” or “5150” on him.

First: What does a 5150 mean?

5150 is the California law code for brief, involuntary psychiatric commitment of people who find themselves endangering other folks, together with themselves, because of their mental illness. Back in 2016, Kanye was held on a 5150 cling via his doctor after the musician attempted to assault a staff member at a health club. 

It used to be Ronald Reagan who established the 5150 code when he signed the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act in 1967 (back when he was once California’s governor). However, all states have a model of 5150, which is supposed to give protection to the individual in crisis, as well as others who are with reference to, or have are available contact with them.

Did Kim put a 5150 on Kanye?

Kim doesn’t address any of the erratic tweets Kanye posted, so we don’t know if she if truth be told did wish to put a 5150 grasp on Kanye or now not (and it’s in truth no longer any of our business). In her Instagram Stories, Kim writes that Kanye is “good however sophisticated” and that we should show extra compassion to people who have psychological well being problems.

“Those that perceive psychological sickness or even compulsive behavior know that the circle of relatives is powerless until the member is a minor. People who are unaware or far removed from this revel in can be judgmental and now not remember the fact that the individual themselves have to engage in the procedure of having lend a hand no matter how arduous family and friends try,” she wrote.

Kim addressed the public’s response to some of the things Kanye has stated (he most just lately instructed that Harriet Tubman “never actually freed the slaves,” and that he “almost killed his daughter” when discussing whether or not or not to have North when Kim first discovered she was once pregnant). 

She wrote, “I perceive Kanye is topic to criticism as a result of he is a public determine and his actions at time may cause robust critiques and emotions. He is a great but complicated one who — on top of pressures of being an artist and a Black guy who skilled the painful loss of his mom — has to take care of the pressure and isolation this is heightened by way of his bi-polar dysfunction...Living with bi-polar disorder does no longer diminish or invalidate his goals and his ingenious ideas, regardless of how large or unobtainable they are going to really feel to a couple. That is a part of his genius as now we have all witnessed, many of his big goals have come true.”

She pleaded enthusiasts to check out to know, and thanked fanatics who showed fear for the Kanye and the circle of relatives: “We as a society speak about giving grace to the issue of psychological health as an entire, then again we will have to also give it to the people who are living with it in times when they want it the most...Thank you for those who have expressed concern for Kanye’s wellbeing and on your understanding.”

Many are commending Kim for her robust message, which doesn’t justify Kanye’s conduct, but reasonably creates an important discussion about psychological well being. Kim has been heavily criticized up to now for "ignoring" Kanye's outbursts. People believe Kim and the Kardashian-Jenner Family encourage Kanye’s movements so that they may be able to financially benefit from his erratic conduct, however these rumors are most likely hurtful. It’s admirable to peer Kim take care of her husband’s recent exposure with such grace.

Kanye has yet to answer Kim’s message or his previous tweets concerning the Kardashian-Jenner circle of relatives.
