Kim Kardashian condemns Kanye West’s ‘hate speech’: Anti-Semitism is ‘never OK’
Kim Kardashian slammed hate speech, saying it’s “never OK or excusable” amid her ex-husband Kanye West’s ongoing anti-Semitic rants.
“I stand together with the Jewish community and call on the
terrible violence and hateful rhetoric towards them to come to an immediate
end,” she wrote on her Instagram Story Monday.
Her sisters Khloé Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner
and her mom, Kris Jenner, also shared matching statements to their own social
media condemning anti-Semitism.
“I support my Jewish friends and the Jewish people,” they
shared in posts on Monday.
Kim’s support for the Jewish community comes amid the
mounting backlash her ex-husband is facing after he repeatedly made
anti-Semitic comments.
Adidas put its partnership with West “under review” after he
debuted “White Lives Matter” T-shirts at Paris Fashion Week earlier this month,
but the company has yet to publicly comment on his rants.
Despite the backlash, West has continued to reinforce his
anti-Semitic comments and even inspired hateful people to hang a sign that
read, “Kanye is right about the Jews” on a highway overpass in Los Angeles over
the weekend.
West told Morgan Wednesday that he is “absolutely not” sorry
for the threatening tweet.
“I fought fire with fire. I’m not here to get hosed down.
That’s a different type of freedom fighter,” the rapper told the talk show
host.
