Everything the Kardashians Said About Kanye West on ‘KUWTK’ Season 20

Whether she wanted the E! cameras to know or not, it’s clear Kim Kardashian’s marriage to Kanye West was crumbling as she filmed season 20 of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. "There's so many f—king stressful things going on," Kim admitted to sisters Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian during the second episode of the season, which aired on March 25. While filming the final season of the reality show, West made headlines for several controversial comments as he attempted to run for president. In addition to breaking down in tears at a campaign rally in South Carolina as he discussed abortion and their eldest daughter, North, in July 2020, the musician tweeted about Kim and Kris Jenner trying to “get a doctor to lock me up” and alleged he’d been trying to divorce the Selfish author for years. "I think sometimes I just have to figure things out on my own. I'm gonna go to Wyoming for a minute and just figure it out,” Kim told Khloé after acknowledging West’s social media activity on the March 25 episode. In a confessional on the same episode, Kim added, ”My life with Kanye, I got this. I’m dealing with it on my own, it's gonna be OK." In real-time, the Kardashians wrapped season 20 of KUWTK in mid-January. One month later, Kim, who shares four kids with West, filed for divorce on February 19 after six years of marriage. [jwplayer n7KbosA7-l3ahXupL] “She didn’t just walk away,” a source told Us Weekly at the time. “The comments about North and the abortion were the final confirmation. She will protect the children first, always.” According to another insider, West is “less than thrilled” about their marital woes being documented on the reality show. Keeping Up With the Kardashians airs on E! Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET.

Kim on What Changed in Her Marriage

"I just feel like I've worked so hard in life to achieve everything that I've wanted to, and I've lived up to my expectations and achieved 10 times more than I even thought was humanly possible, but I don't have a life to share that with," Kim told her mom during the June 10 series finale. "Like, I do — obviously my kids and everything — but am I just going to sit here and think, 'OK, my kids fulfill me and I'm good?'"

The makeup mogul realized that she felt "lonely" with the rapper being in a different state so frequently.  "To me, I thought, 'Oh, my God, that's when we're getting along the best,' but then that is sad to me and that's not what I want," she explained. "I want someone that we have the same shows in common. I want someone who wants to work out with me. ... I think I’m ready for the smaller experiences that I think will mean a lot."

“I just think he deserves someone who will support his every move and go follow him all over the place and move to Wyoming. I can't do that,” she revealed. “He should have a wife that supports his every move and travels with him and does everything, and I can't. I feel like a f--king failure."

Kim on Kanye’s Tweets

“It’s no secret that everyone sees things in the media about my life with Kanye, but I’ve always been really respectful in not talking about issues that Kanye and I have,” Kim said in a confessional on the March 25 episode. “I mean, you guys clearly see them on Twitter, so I’m still going to choose to not really talk about it here.”

Later on in the episode, she added, “Kanye’s been in Wyoming. He’s been posting a lot of things on social media, so that is a little bit frustrating. But you just have to kind of separate yourself from what’s going on at home, and what’s going on on the internet. So I’m trying to go to Wyoming so I can be with him.”
