Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have always been a subject of public fascination, but a recently leaked documentary dating back to 2018 has thrown new light on their relationship. The footage shows a candid interaction between the two, challenging the popular narrative that Kardashian enabled West’s manic episodes.
“In the video, West can be heard addressing Kardashian’s tendency to label him as a narcissist, suggesting that she refrain from using that term,” the source revealed.
The Summer of Uncertainty
The summer of 2020 was a particularly tumultuous period for the couple, with their marriage teetering “on the brink of divorce,” according to People magazine. Kardashian had placed her faith in West’s promise to resume taking medication for his bipolar disorder.
“The star was apparently caught off guard by the subsequent Twitter outbursts from West, which included a video of him urinating on one of his Grammy awards and troubling tweets about being murdered and the potential loss of custody of his eldest daughter, North West,” reported People.
Broken Promises
According to insiders, West had promised to get back on medication as part of his negotiation with Kardashian. However, less than a month later, those promises were broken.
“He’s off his meds. He promised he’d stay on them. The last time, part of his negotiation with Kim was that he’d get back on his medication and he would work very hard to control his impulses,” a source close to the situation revealed.
The Medication Dilemma
While Kardashian had hoped for a more stable life post-medication, she found herself in a difficult position.
“She can’t force feed him medication. She can’t make him do anything he doesn’t want to do,” emphasized another source.
In 2018, West was reportedly refusing to resume his medication regimen, attributing his behavior to what he perceived as validation from the then-U.S. President.

The Ripple Effect
The leaked documentary has not only given us a more authentic look at Kardashian but also raised questions about the complexities of dealing with mental health in a relationship under the public eye. As the couple navigates their separate lives, this footage serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges they’ve faced together.
So, as the world continues to dissect every Kimye moment, this documentary adds a new layer to our understanding of their relationship, one that is far more nuanced than what meets the eye.
