I don't 'follow' him, i only know about him when he and wife appear on my news feed, but I ask myself what the chuff is going on with his wife's attire? Or lack of it

I could run up a few strips with strings attached in no time at all. How much are they paying?

Nylon boiler suits for him are available for under £20, I could make a good profit there.
And I'm a dab hand at making face masks after Covid!

As much as this looks exploitative, US entertainment industry types love the weirdness and attention. She didn't mistakenly happen upon a relationship with this guy. She knew him and worked closely with him before he was divorced. I feel sorry for her family, though. Must be tough watching such an educated woman be reduced to bearing it all in public for show. I'm also not entirely convinced she isn't his beard tbh.

Not to say she isn't being coerced into being objectified, only noting that in that world the chances of it are 50/50. Some of these celeb types find validation and empowerment in simply getting attention of any kind.

I wish the press would completely ignore them and not give them any attention. It makes me feel ill when I see pictures shown of them together. I think she is being coerced and I feel sad that he thinks it is okay. What message is this sending out to young people. Do our young think this is good degrading a person in this way. I hope she comes to her senses and gets away from this horrid person.

Singco It is Kanye West who is the celebrity, not his wife, she was an architect or similar before she shacked up with him, and she certainly doesn't look as if she is looking for all this attention, she looks cowed and unhappy in the few photos I have seen.

However I have noticed that in recent weeks there have been no pictures of her humiliatio in the papers, which rather suggests, that even the papparazzi are finding his behaviour and her misery so gross that they are just not photographing him, or at least rspectable news outlets are no longer prepared to use them.

I would like to think you are right Monica, but sadly just this week more pics have been in media, with Kanye actually pulling down her leggings and sheer tights in public.
They are attention seeking, I dont think she is coerced in any way .

MissAdventure Thu 21-Mar-24 09:04:11

Maybe they both slob around indoors, wearing tracky bottoms and bobbly old sweatshirts, and it's all just a publicity thing?

I'm intrigued now...

Bridie22 Thu 21-Mar-24 09:19:14

I agree Miss A, definitely a publicity thing!!

Chestnut Thu 21-Mar-24 10:05:58

Callistemon21 Is West just really thick?

The answer may be here.

Short planks come to mind....

Callistemon21 Thu 21-Mar-24 10:14:34

But he's richer than any of us 😃
(Well, as far as I know, some of you may be billionaires.)

MissAdventure Thu 21-Mar-24 10:18:15

Yes, good point.
Rich, and hasn't even read a book, nor even looked at the pictures..
So, is he thick?

He knows how to prosper in the 21st century world, work the media and fool his fans into thinking he's a genius (which they do).

Last year I watched a weird and fascinating programme about him called 'The Trouble with KanYe' on BBC2 presented by Mobeen Azhar (a British Asian/Muslim journalist). It is still on iPlayer for anyone interested.

People don't have to be intellectual to be manipulative and cunning.

M0nica Thu 21-Mar-24 19:35:28

He could have dyslexia.

Callistemon21 Thu 21-Mar-24 21:21:48

Yes, he could but why not say that instead of boasting about not reading books and denigrating authors.
All authors as if they are homogenous.

OldFrill Thu 21-Mar-24 23:55:12

He's written at least one book.
His mother was an American educator and chair of Chicago State University's Department of English, Communications, Media, and Theatre. His father was a black panther and a noted photo-journalist.
I watched the documentary (thank you Chestnut for the link) it's thought provoking as Kanye has 30 million+ followers and is fighting back after having been 'cancelled' for anti-Semitism. Also emphasised he's supposedly bi-polar.

Nothing you write, OldFrill excludes dyslexia. It is a disability found as much among the highly educated as not.

As for 'fighting back' after be accused of anti-semitism. Anti-semitism is unacceptable whether the perpetrator is black, white or sky-blue purple.. If he was doing or saying anything anti-semitic, then he was rightly cancelled. Being bipolar is not an adequate excuse either.

Bridie22 Fri 22-Mar-24 09:50:54

Personally I can't quite see that displaying your wife as a public clothes horse( or lack of clothes ) is fighting back, it just invites more criticism, may that is his goal?
Bi Polar or not, the sex act they performed on a public boat trip in France should have been prosecuted!

'Celebrities' who push the boundaries - or become celebrities because of it - will always attract "followers".

Personally, I'm all for it - if the protagonist has something meaningful to offer (and yes, I know that what is meaningful to me is subjective).

However, tweeting to his followers that he was going death con 3 on Jewish people; and suggesting that African-American slavery was a "choice" made by black people who were forcibly shipped from Africa to the US in the 17th-19th centuries - you could be forgiven for questioning the mentality of his 30 million followers. And not being as impressed as it appears we're supposed to be by the number of them.

Also, boasting about never having read a book, in effect dismissing centuries of authors - some of whose minds were and are far superior to his, indicates a complete lack of self-awareness coupled with stunning arrogance.

So what is his talent? As a rap-artist, he's creative and novel (if you like that kind of thing) - but he's not the bloody Messiah - which is how he seems to see himself!

I suspect the book he wrote was ghost-written.

Personally, I prefer our own Professor Green as a rap artist whose "Read All About It" with Emeli Sande examines his abandonment by, and later suicide of, his father. This led him to be part of a very moving TV programme which explored the reason behind the biggest killer of men under 45 - suicide.

Of course, that's just a personal preference. But it does make me question what, exactly, Kanye West has done to garner so much approval.

Chestnut Fri 22-Mar-24 09:55:35

Just to get back to Bianca for a moment. the latest article has another picture of her virtually naked again, while he is fully covered. (I refuse to click on the article because I don't want to encourage them). My point is that all these pictures have been taken during the winter months, and she must be absolutely frozen walking around like that. So does she want to participate in this freak show or is he in control? I guess we may know one day but not yet.

Primrose53 Fri 22-Mar-24 09:58:44

I wish that the countries or events that this weird couple visit would stand up and be brave enough to ban her walking about like that and say it is against public decency or something. It is just horrendous.

If Mr or Miss 'average' walked around dressed similarly, many would just stare and snigger - but with the Press following them it appears to have a 'magic' effect. Celebrities really can get away with behaviour that indulged in by the rest of us, would not be tolerated.

I don't know what constitutes 'public decency'- I assume that as long as intimate body parts are not on display, there's no rule that says you can't "flaunt" acres of flesh? grin
