Kim Kardashian is standing by her man once again. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star took to Twitter on Monday, January 14, after her mom, Kris Jenner, shared a video of Kanye West seemingly defending R. Kelly and the late Michael Jackson, both of whom have been accused of sexual abuse.

Countless celebrities have spoken out against R. Kelly’s alleged abuse since Lifetime aired Surviving R. Kelly in January 2019. The six-part docuseries featured more than 50 interviews with the R&B singer’s former collaborators and the many women who have accused him of predatory behavior, pedophilia and other forms of sexual, mental and physical abuse.

West, 41, made the controversial comments while speaking at a church service on Sunday, January 13. “Everybody, they want the art from the artist, but anytime they do anything erratic, they just gonna pull up full documentaries on ‘em. And then they gon’ come with the Michael documentary,” he said, as seen in Jenner’s Instagram Live session.
“We can enjoy all they music all we want,” the rapper continued. “I thought I wasn’t going to go there today. If we’re gon’ tear down artists, let’s go ahead and take [Leonardo] da Vinci out the Louvre while we at it. Let’s take down all the art.”

Jackson was found not guilty of molesting a 13-year-old boy in 2005.
As her mom’s livestream continued to make the rounds, Kardashian, 38, posted a pair of tweets on Monday afternoon in defense of her husband of nearly five years.
“I’m going to nip this in the bud right now,” she wrote. “Kanye was speaking about his own experience of everyone quick to say they are cancelling him because of differences in opinion & not being perfect. The analogies were in context to his own experiences, not defending anyone else.”
All the drama! Over the years, the Kardashian-Jenner family has made headlines for the ups and downs that occurred in their personal and professional lives. Kim Kardashian‘s marriage to Kris Humphries went viral in 2011 after they called it quits 72 days after saying “I do.” Humphries filed for an annulment in November 2011, citing […]
The KKW Beauty founder continued, “I want to make it very clear, he is not condoning anyone’s actions or unacceptable disgusting behavior. My husband’s words are being taken out of context due to timing.”
