A new Kanye West documentary, directed by Nico Balisteros, is generating intense backlash against the rapper, with viewers now expressing profound sympathy for the Kardashians. The video suggests the film, which was likely intended to showcase Kanye’s perspective, instead serves as a stark timeline of his escalating erratic behavior, particularly directed at his former wife, Kim Kardashian, and his mother-in-law, Kris Jenner.

The Blame Game and The Tense Confrontation

One of the most widely circulated and shocking moments captured in the film features Kanye screaming intensely at Kris Jenner. With Kris in tears, Kanye relentlessly demands that she acknowledge the Kardashian-Jenner clan played a part in his mental health struggles.

“He rages that no one in the family ever took accountability for the damage done to his mental state,” the video explains.

Kris tearfully pushes back, begging him to take his medication and insisting that the love of his family—not the opinions of strangers—is what truly matters. Despite her pleas, Kanye remains defiant, claiming he would rather be dead than be medicated, and the confrontation ends with the room left tense and shaken.

Timeline of Chaos: From Taylor Swift to MAGA Hat

The documentary meticulously traces the events that led to Kanye’s eventual implosion, revealing his deep-seated paranoia and distrust of the media and industry:

The VMA Fiasco: The film highlights the 2009 incident where Kanye stormed the stage during Taylor Swift’s VMA speech, which created four years of tension and was the first major sign of his disruptive behavior.
The 2016 Breakdown: It delves into his 2016 hospitalization and the cancellation of the Saint Pablo tour, which he believes was the moment the media turned him into a public spectacle.
Political Paranoia: The film also covers his 2018 appearance on Saturday Night Live in a red MAGA hat, where he admitted he was terrified for his life every time he wore the hat or went near the White House, convinced that the choice made him a target.

The Loss of North and The Untouchable Ego

The documentary reveals deeply personal and painful information about his marriage to Kim, including Kanye’s shocking public admission that he and Kim once discussed the possibility of not having their eldest daughter, North West.

As his public outbursts continued, Kanye’s ego ballooned, convincing him he was “untouchable.” He believed his creative contributions made him immune to consequence, arguing that Adidas could never afford to drop him. This arrogance was shattered following his highly publicized anti-Semitic comments, which led to a catastrophic “fall from grace.” Adidas, Live Nation, and even the Las Vegas Sphere reportedly cut ties with him, proving that his actions finally had severe, career-ending consequences.

Kim’s Defense and The Tragic Ending

The video’s host strongly defends Kim, arguing that she was a faithful partner who “stood by him longer than anyone expected.” The host suggests that Kanye was fixated on Kim’s status and beauty, and wanted to “control and belittle her.” In the end, his refusal to accept criticism, even from those who loved him, drove a permanent wedge through his marriage.

The documentary concludes with Kanye appearing strangely at peace with the devastation of his career and family ties, but for many longtime fans and critics, his transformation remains nothing short of tragic.
