<p id=”par-5_35″>“Everyone else thought it was just about me, and it wasn’t… I had to just take that L,” she said. “If I was going to kill myself, I would have done it during those times.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_20″>She didn’t believe his treatment of her was fair, as she said she chose not to profit from their relationship.</p>
<p id=”par-7_95″>“I was quiet for so long. I could have got a reality show just off the fact that I was his girlfriend. I could have wrote a book just off the fact that I was his girlfriend. I said, you know what? I’m a real a** b****<strong><em>. </em></strong>I’mma take the high road and work my a** off, and I’m going to get everything I get on my own, so nobody can be like, ‘Yo I gave her that.’ The only thing I got from him was fame, and fame don’t get you no f***ing money.”</p>

Jay-Z Only Felt ‘Skepticism’ When Kanye West Wanted to Release His Debut Album </a>
</p>

<p id=”par-9_99″>“Kanye’s constant attacks on me in interviews and on social media is actually more hurtful than any TikTok North might create,” she said, per <a href=”https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/a/yasmeenhamadeh/kanye-west-dating-timeline” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Elle</a>. “As the parent who is the main provider and caregiver for our children, I am doing my best to protect our daughter while also allowing her to express her creativity in the medium that she wishes with adult supervision — because it brings her happiness. Divorce is difficult enough on our children and Kanye’s obsession with trying to control and manipulate our situation so negatively and publicly is only causing further pain for all.”</p>
<p id=”par-10_14″>West eventually made a post stating that he would take accountability for his actions.</p>

<p id=”par-11_34″>West is currently facing serious allegations from his former assistant, Lauren Pisciotta. <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/kim-kardashian-entire-family-irate-kanye-wests-sexual-kinks-coming-lawsuit.html/”>In a lawsuit</a>, she alleges that he “touched, groped, fondled, grabbed and forced himself in and on” multiple occasions (per <a href=”https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2024/10/13/kanye-west-lawsuit-sexual-assault-diddy/75659470007/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>USA Today</a>).</p>
<p id=”par-12_45″>Pisciotta alleged that West gave her a drugged drink that put her in a “heavily impaired state.” While she had no memory of the night, West later told her they “hooked up.” This led her to believe she was “in fact drugged and sexually assaulted.”</p>
<p id=”par-13_14″>Pisciotta said she hesitated to speak out about the incident, as she feared retaliation.</p>
