More than a year after Ye’s divorce (formerly known as Kanye West), Kim Kardashian’s marital status is officially “unmarried.” A Los Angeles judge on Wednesday approved her request to become legally unmarried and remove West on her behalf.
Kardashian does not hide the fact that she wants to leave her marriage, as she recently stated in court documents that Ye’s Instagram posts caused her “emotional stress”. She petitioned to become legally unattached in December, and in the months that followed, Ye launched a harassment campaign to regain her affection, including harassment of her new boyfriend Pete Davidson and other behavior that many noticed seemed abusive. Given Ye’s history of mental illness and the fact that we can never understand what’s going on in their relationship, it’s hard to know exactly how he feels about this latest development, but his latest lawyer is present. at the hearing and did not object to Kardashian’s removal of West on her official behalf. Their custody agreement and asset sharing have not been settled and will be considered separately.
Nevertheless, this seems like an encouraging step in what has become a painfully protracted and very public divorce. This news also means that officially – even legally – we are entering a new era of Kardashian fashion. Why dress like Ringwraith when you can wear Beavis and Butthead socks? We look forward to seeing her bare hands and a collection of new truck hats.
