Kim Kardashian went home 'hysterically crying' after Kanye's infamous TMZ rant

On the season finale of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, we finally found out how Kim Kardashian reacted when she found out about her husband Kanye West's meltdown on TMZ. "What? I didn't know you were going," Kardashian said to West, over the phone, in the middle of her interview. "You told me you weren't going, so you said it wasn't happening, and then you called me and said, 'I'm here. Bye,' and I tried calling you, and you didn't have your phone on. You weren't answering." Kardashian then told the camera, "Kanye is doing TMZ Live right now." Back in May, Kanye sparked outrage went he went off in the TMZ newsroom stating that slavery "sounds like a choice." However, at the time, Kardashian stayed pretty silent regarding her husband's comments, which led to many people on social media calling out to Kardashian, tweeting, "Kim, come get your man." A few days later, Kardashian traveled to New York for the 2018 Met Gala, where she told her best friend, Jonathan Cheban, that West was "doing good," even though everyone thought he was having "a breakdown." Kardashian told Cheban, "When I saw the clip, I was like, okay. I rushed home. I was hysterically crying. So I go home, he's totally fine." Kardashian also explained that when West gets "ramped up, he can't control what he says, he can't let it go." "He loves being ramped up," Kardashian added. "He's like, 'I feel powerful when I'm ramped up, like, I don't want to be, like, so suppressed. Like, yeah, I say crazy sh*t, but I've always said crazy sh*t. But that's why I'm Kanye.'" Kardashian also explained that she always knows what West's intentions are and what he's actually trying to say. "I also know that they're gonna write a headline, and people are gonna assume that that's exactly what you meant, you know… That, as a wife, is really frustrating to see the media take everything and run with it," said Kardashian. And one month after Kanye's infamous TMZ rant, the rapper held a listening party for his latest album, Ye, in Wyoming, where he expressed more of his feelings with Charlamagne tha God, who told West, "When people see you running around in the 'Make America Great Again' hat, your blackness will be questioned. When you out here saying you love Trump, your blackness will be questioned. Especially a guy that's directly trying to oppress us, trying to marginalize us." West responded, "I'm not saying the policies. I'm talking about the fact that this person was not supposed to do that. How many times do you hear somebody say, 'Everybody hates Trump,' right? I got love. I'm leading with love. That's my main message that's getting clouded." At the end of the day, Kardashian expressed that West speaks for himself and, no matter what, she supports her husband, as she told cameras, "I obviously support him, and will always, but he likes to speak for himself and I like to speak for myself. You know, as his wife, I just have to express how I feel and have those private conversations with him and just help him better communicate what he really means to say."
