They argued that criticism of his conduct was motivated solely by ‘hate’, envy, racism or ableism regarding his mental health. When UK journalist and presenter Amelia Dimoldenberg tweeted “What Kanye is doing is not funny at all” there was a lot of agreement in the replies, with many women sharing similar upsetting stories from their own break-ups.īut there was also plenty of dissent from commenters who said that it was, in fact, very funny, or that it was a clever marketing ruse to promote his new Netflix documentary series ‘ jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy’. Ye’s fans have been quick to push back at criticism of his behaviour. We should all be free to end relationships and move on with new partners without fears of exactly this kind of reprisal, and it’s a painful reminder of how far our conversations about harassment, intimate partner abuse and coercion still lag behind.

There are two types of bipolar disorder, bipolar 1 and bipolar 2. In the past few years, he has been very open about his diagnosis of bipolar disorder, discussing in interviews his decision not to take medication, his previous hospitalisations and the hyper-paranoia he can experience when going through a manic episode.
