Kanye West, Kim Kardashian setback over old weight loss clip

A resurrected clip from previous E! reality show, Keeping up with the Kardashians, attracts renewed criticism online, and involves the then-married couple, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

In the short video, which was originally aired during episode 3 of season 10, Kim told her sister Khloé how Kanye had become annoyed with her personal trainer for dissuading her seemingly unrealistic fitness goals.

For some reason, Kim had given birth to her first child, North, just over a year before season 10 began filming. She had openly talked about how her self-esteem was beaten during her pregnancy after gaining weight and suffering from several health problems, including preeclampsia and placenta accreta.

And Kim goes on to remember Kanye’s response to the fitness instructor’s comments, describing how he vocally disagreed with her and even suggested getting a new trainer.

“Kanye says, ‘Wait a minute. You’re the trainer and you’re telling me you can not imagine her 15 lbs lighter? Then we should have another trainer. Because if I tell you she’s going to lose weight between her toe, you would have figured out a damn toe weight, ‘says Kim.

Both Kim and Khloé are clearly amused by it all and simply laugh at Kanye’s comments.

At the time, viewers back home did not receive the comments well at all. But despite Twitter being flooded with criticism, the conversation quickly ended.

But now, after the excerpt reappeared on YouTube last week – and has since received over 1.2 million views – it has once again sparked backlash, especially in light of much that has been going on between the couple since the episode originally aired.

First of all, viewers commented that Kim and Kanye’s treatment of the trainer was disrespectful, calling Kanye so blatantly rejecting the opinion of fitness professionals, and Kim for “bragging” about it all.

“But the coach was right ??? they are professionals, they know what they are talking about, “one person wrote, adding that Kim’s” goals “were largely unrealistic.

“Shall we not talk about the fact that the coach was completely correct and in his right to say so,” echoed another.

A third user wrote, “ahaha so funny looking at me bragging about treating employees like shit.”

“But why do they smile and support his toxicity?” one commented with reference to Kim and Khloé’s nonchalant reactions.

While some fans suggested that Kanye was right in pressuring the coach to help Kim reach her goal, many concluded that even if he wanted to question her advice – which apparently came from a knowledgeable place – he should not have done so. in such a hostile place. way, and that his proposal to get a brand new instructor seemed rather excessive.

Meanwhile, Kanye’s passionate comment on the coach’s advice about Kim’s body reminded some fans of his long-standing obsession with her image.

As you may be aware, Kanye has long talked about his admiration for her famous curvy figure and memorably highlighted her nude in the music video for his 2013 hit, “Bound 2.”

“I just love watching her naked; I love nudity. And I love beautiful shapes. I feel like it’s almost a renaissance thing, a painting, a modern version of a painting. I think it’s important for Kim to have her character, ”he told Harper’s Bazaar in 2016.

And not only has Kanye expressed her strong interest in Kim’s physical figure, but he’s also amazed at the way she presents herself, such as her appearance on social media and her clothing choices.

In fact, his obsession with styling Kim goes all the way back to 2012, just months after they had been together. Kanye, a famous stylist, went to great lengths to hand-pick all of her outfits herself, even reworked her entire closet to get rid of things he did not approve of.

After spending years dressing Kim throughout their marriage, Kanye even offered to dedicate her entire life to styling her months after they divorced last February, the mogul revealed in a recent episode of her family’s Hulu show. Kardashians.

And Kanye claims her opinion of what Kim wanted to wear is something she has long praised. She even recently admitted that she has been completely lost since he stopped styling her months after their divorce and she had to embark on a journey of self-discovery to find out her personal stylistic preferences.

But even though Kim has apparently taken Kanye’s fashion advice on board over the years, the couple have certainly also come across each other.

A rather memorable example is the infamous Met Gala dress failure, which unfolded in 2019. The couple shook their heads when Kanye told Kim that her now iconic Thierry Mugler dress – which she spent nine months preparing to wear – was “too sexy” to his liking. the night before the big event.

“The corset, the underwear, all the mood I just feel like I went through this transition from being a rapper, to looking at all these girls and then looking at my wife like, ‘Oh, my girl has to be just like these other girls , showing off his body, showing it here, showing it, “he said at the time.

“I was not aware that it affected my soul and my spirit as one who is married and loved, the father of what is about to become four children,” he continued. “A corset is a kind of underwear. It is hot. It’s like, it’s hot for whom?

And Kanye apparently also tried to micro-control Kim’s Instagram at a time when the reality star revealed during an episode of Keeping up that he had been annoyed when she did not post a series of pictures that he wanted her for.

Kim spoke to her sister Kourtney and said she and Kanye got into fights because she posted a picture of her on the beach instead of posting a bunch of Polaroid pictures she had taken at a motel. “He wanted them all to be matched and everyone was from the motel. That was what the damn fight was,” she said.

Given these examples of how Kanye has consistently tried to dictate the way Kim presents herself, his previous condemnation of her trainer for simply advising her against an unrealistic and unhealthy fitness regime seems all the more disturbing.

“It’s as rude as wow,” commented one viewer during the resurrected clip. “Kanye’s obsession with Kim has never looked good.”

And given that he so persistently expressed his admiration for her character, some fans have even questioned whether Kanye’s hostile attitude towards Kim’s coach for speaking out against her “goal” had a more sinister undertone.

“How she repeats what he said: ‘if I tell you she’s going to lose weight between her toes’ makes it seem like it was him who told her she was going to lose weight. I hope not. was the case, ”wrote one person.

“He literally said you should lose weight, and he was freaking out about it and your bragging about it.?” another commented.

In addition, several fans drew attention to Kanye’s “justified” stance before nodding to his recent series of public outbursts against Kim since their divorce.

“So justified,” was a comment. “This does not age well lmao,” remarked another.

As you may remember, Kanye made a series of harsh comments about Kim when she publicly started dating Saturday Night Live cartoon Pete Davidson in late October, about eight months after she filed for divorce.

After trying to win her back with a series of big gestures, Kanye ended up targeting Pete in a bunch of now-deleted Instagram posts.

Not only did he invent the harsh nickname “Happened” for the comedian, but he even encouraged his fans to “scream” at Pete in public before releasing a disturbing clay music video depicting Pete’s cartoon-like figure being kidnapped, beheaded and buried alive.

Comments on the resurrection KUWTK clips referring to Kanye’s recent behavior, several fans have now labeled the artist “toxic” and “disrespectful”.

“He’s just disrespectful, no class at all. No one can talk like that to anyone, no matter how rich or high class you are,” one person wrote.

“Oh, that honeymoon phase where all of your significant others’ TOXIC traits seem charming,” wrote another.
