Kim Kardashian has publicly called for empathy for her husband struggling with bipolar disorder, but that call has gone unheeded by tabloids. One story now claims West has been stockpiling tapes of the whole Kardashian family to use in retaliation in case of divorce.
According to the National Enquirer, “crafty kook Kanye West” has a secret divorce diary that “has her famous family quaking in their boots.’ Insiders tell the tabloid that West believes Kardashian will leave him, so “he’s been collecting humiliating details” about the entire Kardashian family as “collateral to crush” them.
The tabloid recaps everything that has led Kardashian “to the brink of divorce,’ but “the ranting rapper has no intention of being cast aside without a fight.” West’s files will reveal everything that “was real and what was faked on [Keeping Up With The Kardashians].’
This includes all the relationship histories of everyone from Tristan Thompson, Scott Disick, and Caitlyn Jenner. The article concludes by saying “Kanye plans to blow the roof off of all their darkest secrets.”
By the end of this story, the tabloid resorts to speculating on all secrets West could spill in his “secret divorce diary” (which sounds less like a diary since there would be a lot of videos, but we digress). The dirt listed here sounds exactly like a tell-all interview to set the record straight, which is a common tabloid tactic.
This whole story is very similar to another Enquirer story about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry secretly filming the royal family for use in a tell-all documentary. Both stories speculated on what could be on the secret videotapes, but it’s hard to film someone without them knowing. Tell-all fuel is seldom real and it’s just enticing premise tabloids like to use to sell magazines.
It’s hard to imagine what West could have on tape that isn’t already public record. Everyone knows that KUWTK isn’t a documentary, with much of the show is either staged or an exaggeration.
Furthermore, all the cheating stories about Disick or Thompson have played out very publicly, so that’s out too. Plus, how would an “insider” know about this secret stash of dirt but the Kardashians themselves wouldn’t?
What really busts this story wide open though is the fact that a divorce doesn’t look to be in the cards. The situation could always change, but the far more reliable ET spoke to a source close to Kardashian in July who said “Kim is not planning to divorce Kanye right now.” Kardashian posts photos of herself with West regularly on Instagram too.
