“I almost killed my daughter,” Kanye West said on stage, screaming through tears, at a presidential campaign rally in South Carolina in July. Wearing what appeared to be a bulletproof vest, an American flag flimsy on the stage behind him, West told the crowd about Kim Kardashian’s decision to give birth to their first daughter after she was considering abortion. West’s own mother, he says, continued with her pregnancy with him even when his father wanted her to have an abortion. “My mom saved my life!” he shouted.\n
David Letterman in 2019. “If someone has a sprained ankle, you’re not going to push on him more. With us, once our brain gets to a point of spraining, people do everything to make it worse.” And though he would later tell Trump that he was “misdiagnosed,”his behavior to “sleep deprivation,” Kardashian’s recent statement reaffirms West’s diagnosis.
All of West’s comments cannot be excused through a bipolar diagnosis, but the longer critics, journalists, and fans treat his behavior as wholly calculated, to ignore the complexities of his mental health in coverage of his behavior, the longer they can capitalize off it as a zany spectacle. Everyone wants a piece of West: right-wing commentators get to wear his endorsements like a badge of honor, politics outlets get to run serious stories about his speeches and tweets for traffic gains.
Even writing this post is difficult; in writing about the spectacle of Kanye West, this piece, in turn, legitimizes that spectacle. But the ongoing coverage of West’s outbursts also underlines discrepancies regarding which celebrities get to be ill.
