Kim Kardashian is said to be ‘compartmentalising’ her family life and trying to keep things peaceful for her children, after Kanye West sparked fury with his recent anti-Semitic comments.
The mum-of-four recently appeared to speak out publicly on her ex-husband’s remarks, saying that she ‘stands together with the Jewish community’.
Privately, Kim is said to be focusing on her children.
A source said: ‘Kim is good at compartmentalizing and trying to keep things peaceful for the kids.’
Another insider added to E! News: ‘They focus on the kids and what they are doing.’
Kim and Kanye were married for six years, until she filed for divorce in 2021. They share their four children – North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.
She recently spoke out amid the controversy, saying on Twitter: ‘Hate speech is never OK or excusable. I stand together with the Jewish community and call on the terrible violence and hateful rhetoric towards them to come to an immediate end.’
Kanye initially doubled down on his stance, after saying he was going to go ‘death con 3 on Jewish people’, before later apologising for causing upset.
He was suspended from Twitter and Instagram, and companies including Adidas, Gap, and Balenciaga have cut ties with him.
He has also been dropped from his talent agency, and has reportedly lost his billionaire status.
Adidas recently issued a statement after cutting ties with the rapper following a lucrative 10-year partnership.

The sports brand said: ‘‘Adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech. Ye’s recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful and dangerous, and they violate the company’s values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect and fairness.
‘After a thorough review, the company has taken the decision to terminate the partnership with Ye immediately, end production of Yeezy branded products and stop all payments to Ye and his companies. Adidas will stop the Adidas Yeezy business with immediate effect.

‘This is expected to have a short-term negative impact of up to €250 million (£217m) on the company’s net income in 2022 given the high seasonality of the fourth quarter.
‘Adidas is the sole owner of all design rights to existing products as well as previous and new colorways under the partnership. More information will be given as part of the company’s upcoming Q3 earnings announcement on November 9, 2022.’
During a recent interview with Piers Morgan, Kanye offered an apology saying: ‘I will say, I’m sorry for the people that I hurt with the Defcon… the confusion that I caused.
‘I feel like I caused hurt and confusion and I’m sorry for the families that had nothing to do with the trauma that I had been through.
‘Hurt people hurt people – and I was hurt.’
