*The Bachelorette* Season 14 Episode 8 Recap: Hometowns Bring the Drama


Ahhh, hometowns. It’s one of the most awkward (and amazing) episodes of The Bachelorette every season, and it’s finally here. Unfortunately, your normal, hilarious recapper, Anna Moeslein, is living her best life on vacation right now, so I’m stepping in this week. I’m not sure I’ll be as funny, but I promise to throw plenty of shade at the men—because, let’s face it, all the good ones are gone, anyway.

Here’s what happened tonight:

Becca’s walking in some random field looking fabulous. Oh, it’s a random field in Garrett’s hometown. Truthfully, I’m already over this hometown given Garett’s problematic Instagram activity. Like, he could perform a rendition of “Ray of Light” by Madonna on this hometown date, and he still wouldn’t win me over.

But this hometown date isn’t going to be nearly that fun. They’re planting tomatoes on some farm. This is my worst nightmare. I’m sweating just watching this. They’re driving what I think is a….tractor? Becca says she’s into this and would go out on a farm with a beer and plant tomatoes. Again, this all sounds like my personal hell. They kiss on the tractor. They plant rose bushes. Don’t these people need a water break? I would’ve needed a water break 10 minutes into this nonsense.

The last woman Garrett brought home was his wife, whom he divorced over two years ago, so this hometown date is a big deal. Good thing it’s happening on national television! Now Garrett’s talking about why he and his ex-wife didn’t work, and I don’t really care. Remember his Instagram likes? I’m still thinking about them! He says he and Becca align, which I agree with only because they’re both physically attractive humans. That’s the…only similarity I see.

Garett’s father looks exactly like him. Garrett’s brother looks exactly like him. Garrett’s sister seems cool, and she’s the person who pulls Garrett aside first. He says he’s happy with Becca, but the sister has concerns given the entire ex-wife situation. I mean, fair.

The dad has his concerns, too. Becca wants to know if Garrett’s fully healed from his divorce and ready for an engagement, which, like, who knows? This is a TV show! Garrett’s known Becca for a few weeks! All I can think about is how bomb Becca looks in this purple floral romper.

Garrett’s mom isn’t pulling any punches, and she’s instantly my favorite person in this family. I’m living for her bob and her bangs and her no-bullshit attitude. Becca seems to win Garrett’s mom over, which isn’t surprising because Becca’s the best. Garrett’s love for Becca seems pure and real, and his mom seems to be on board with that. Honestly, I want a talk show hosted by Becca and Garett’s mom. All I want is to watch them talk shit for two straight hours.

Anyway, the hometown date ends. Garrett and Becca kiss. Becca seems happy. Yay!

We’re in Buffalo now for Jason’s hometown date. I like Jason, but I don’t like his hair. I also don’t like the fact that he’s saying “damn” every other sentence. Does he not know any other filler words?

Their date is way more my speed. They sit down and eat a bunch of chicken wings and then make out. That’s my ideal situation with another man.

But then, OMG, they go ice-skating, which is 2,000 percent something I’d hate. I attempted to go ice-skating one time and busted out crying because I couldn’t find skates that fit. Jason’s scarf is cute, though, which gives him brownie points. They kiss on the ice rink, which requires so much coordination.

Wait, wait, wait: Jason’s brother is gay and in a relationship and this instantly makes me like him way better. His brother’s name is Steven and his boyfriend is Bill and I now no longer care about Jason and Becca. Come through, homosexuality on a primetime episode of The Bachelorette! My gay self is squealing.

Update: Jason says damn another 40,000 times. He pulls his dad aside and says he’s falling for Becca. His dad is basically, like, “Whoa, chill, you’re on a TV show.” Jason’s mom has fabulous hair, and it’s full of secrets about how Jason is guarded and can’t commit. She can’t read whether or not Becca is falling for him, which, duh. It’s beyond clear Becca’s obsessed with Garrett and the other guys are kinda just…there.

Wow, wow, wow: Jason’s talking to his brother and husband about Becca, and this is the greatest scene of The Bachelorette in history. Thank God this straight-ass show is being fueled with some homosexual energy. Steven basically tells Jason to get his shit together and decide how he feels about Becca. Where is Steven’s podcast?

Jason tells Becca that he’s in love with her. His speech is insanely long and sounds like something out of a romantic comedy. They kiss. I think it’s legit, but honestly who TF knows? If Jason had better hair I probably wouldn’t be questioning the authenticity of his speech.

Blake lives in a very snowy place. He’s the cutest one here, in my humble opinion, and he’s even cuter wearing this jacket surrounded by snow. Update: Bailey, Colorado is the name of this town. (Sorry, I didn’t get that before because I was pouring myself a glass of wine.)

They go to Blake’s high school for their date, which is a Bachelor staple and something I’ve never understood. Maybe I’d understand it more if I was a popular, hot jock in high school, like Blake and all these people probably were. Blake says he wants Becca to see the man he is, so his go-to move is bringing her to his…high school? I wore cargo shorts in high school and was the lead in a musical even though I can’t sing. I’d never want to go back there.

Blake reveals to Becca that there was a shooting at his high school during his senior year, and it changed his outlook on life. He now views life as a gift and doesn’t take a second for granted. They have a poignant chat about this, kiss, and move on. It’s moving and serious, and that’s all I’m going to say.

But then, Blake takes Becca into an auditorium and Betty Who is there giving a surprise performance. I love Betty Who. What a gay icon! This is such a gay-friendly episode of The Bachelorette, and I’m thrilled. Becca says Betty Who is her “favorite singer,” but I don’t know if I believe that. I…don’t know if she had heard of Betty Who before this episode of The Bachelorette.

Blake’s family is lovely, especially his mother. Her hair is also phenomenal. When Blake says he’s falling in love with Becca, his mom says, “That’s crazy,” which is the greatest thing she could say. Because it’s true! This is all crazy! Blake’s mom thinks Becca is the one for him, but is afraid Becca will break his heart. His father feels similarly, and is basically like, “Yo, there’s a chance you’re ‘gonna get dumped, son.” Yes, dad! Bring down the reality hammer! Blake’s mom is very, very protective of him, which is sweet but also ,like, a little aggressive. He’s an adult man. He’ll be fine, no matter what happens.

They kiss in the snow and Becca thanks Blake for the date and the Betty Who surprise. I’m so glad Betty Who received some national promo, because she’s a bop queen.

The last hometown date of the evening is Colton’s in Parker, Colorado. Remember, Colton told Becca last week he’s a virgin, which the show tried to make a bigger deal than it is. I mean, come on. He’s a virgin! It’s not like he’s a serial killer or has Jason’s hair.

Colton takes Becca to the children’s hospital, where they visit kids who have cystic fibrosis. Colton has a nonprofit organization dedicated to this, and the date is understandably tender. I have nothing snarky to say about it. Colton looks uncomfortably hot, as per usual.

Colton has never brought a woman home before, so the stakes are pretty high tonight. Becca’s scared because Colton’s only been in one serious relationship before. I’m scared because, at some point, we know Tia’s going to show up in this episode and fuck shit up. More on that later.

Colton has 18 people waiting for Becca at his house. That’s so overwhelming, even for someone as friendly and wonderful as Becca. Anyway, I love the off-the-shoulder shirt Becca’s wearing tonight. Meghan Markle would 100 percent wear it. Also, I have a crush on Colton’s dad.

Colton’s dad has a serious talk with his son about if he’s ready for an engagement. Also, he brings up Tia, because that was some capital-D drama. Then, Colton’s dad brings Tia up to Becca, and Becca says she’s cool with the whole situation, even though I’m not sure that’s the case? Colton’s dad literally tells Becca not to pick him if she isn’t 100 percent sure he’s the one. He even brings up Arie! He’s asking the hard questions!

As is Colton’s mom. She’s shocked that Colton is so in love with Becca. I would be, too. Becca asks her about Colton’s virginity, and I’m uncomfortable. She basically wants to know if Colton will commit to her even though he has a lack of experience, and his mom says that’s a possibility. It’s a kind conversation. Colton’s family is kind!

Colton then tells Becca he’s in love with her, but it’s clear she’s not fully there with him. I mean, she’s made it very clear she’s in love with Blake and in love with Garrett, but the heat with Colton ins’t on the same level. I’m available, though, Colton.

Praise be: Becca’s now reunited with Tia, Bekah M., Kendall, Sienne, and Caroline. They’re drinking mimosas and talking about Becca’s hometown dates and I wish I was a part of their squad. When Becca brings up Colton, Tia’s face immediately changes, so you know shit’s about to go down.

Yup, shit happens: Tia essentially admits to Becca she still has feelings for Colton, which obviously throws a wrench in Becca’s decision-making. Remember: Tia went on a date with Colton in January, and that made Becca pause. She was under the impression Tia was over Colton; however, that doesn’t appear to be the case. Tia says that seeing Colton go this far with Becca makes her “sick to her stomach.” Oof.

Becca’s totally blindsided by this, and she doesn’t know what to do going into the rose ceremony. Try as the editing team might, though, I think it’s pretty clear Colton’s going home. Blake’s wearing a bowtie, which further confirms he’s my favorite. Colton asks Chris Harrison about the expectations for the fantasy suite, which is a hilarious and awkward conversation to have.

Becca walks in looking gorgeous in a sparkly black dress, as she’s apt to do. I want to wear this dress. She gushes about how much she loved the families and that this elimination is gut-wrenching. Just go ahead and eliminate Colton so I can go to bed!

Blake gets a rose. Jason gets a rose. Garrett gets a rose. Colton does not get a rose. Shocker! They have a tearful goodbye.

Next week: More tears in Thailand!

Sandra Oh Becomes First Asian Woman to Receive Lead Actress Emmy Nomination for Drama


Sandra Oh has made history as the first Asian woman to be nominated for an Emmy in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series category for her role in the BBC America series Killing Eve, Los Angeles Times writer Glenn Whipp reports on Twitter.

She’s among good company, too. The other women nominated in her category include Elisabeth Moss for The Handmaid’s Tale, Keri Russell for The Americans, Evan Rachel Wood for Westworld, Claire Foy for The Crown, and Tatiana Maslany for Orphan Black.

If you haven’t seen the show yet—and if so, what are you waiting for?—Killing Eve revolves around a bored MI5 officer in London (Oh) who wishes she could do more with her career than shuffle around papers and collect data at her desk. Her in-the-field dreams are soon granted when she becomes embroiled in a cat-and-mouse game with a British female assassin, and their mutual obsession with each other propels the eight-episode drama. But if you don’t like murders and violence, also know it’s one of the most fashionable shows of the year, too.

As Vanity Fair notes, Oh has had success with Emmy nominations in the past, so this isn’t her first rodeo with the honor. You might remember her years-long tenure as Dr. Cristina Yang on Grey’s Anatomy, for which she received five consecutive supporting actress nominations. (She never won, sadly.)

Shockingly, if Oh were to win for Killing Eve at the September ceremony, she would become only the third Asian actor to take home an Emmy, according to Vanity Fair. The two previous winners of Asian descent are Archie Panjabi, who won a supporting actress Emmy in 2010 for The Good Wife, and Riz Ahmed, who won for lead actor in a drama in 2017, for The Night Of.

Forget the Messy Bun—Meghan Markle's Family Drama Is What Makes Her So Relatable


As soon as the world heard that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were engaged, we instantly marveled at her non-royal relatability. It’s understandable why: The idea that a Suits actress and former Deal or No Deal suitcase model could end up a princess gave us all a bit of regular-girl hope. Her messy bun? Same! Her starter marriage? Modern! Friends even call her “a princess for the people.” (OK, that friend is Priyanka Chopra but still.) For her wedding to Prince Harry—taking place this Saturday, May 19—Meghan’s not even having a maid of honor because she has such a tight group of gal pals that she said she can’t choose just one.

But of all the things that make Meghan relatable, it’s her family drama that takes the multi-tiered, lemon-elderflower cake. This past week alone, Meghan’s dad, Thomas Markle, has admitted to taking elaborately-staged paparazzi photos for money, backed out of the wedding, changed his mind after getting texts from Meghan, and then told TMZ that heart surgery will ultimately keep him from walking her down the aisle. (You still with me? No? Here’s a full explainer.)

It doesn’t end there: Two weeks ago, Meghan’s half-brother wrote an open letter to InTouch claiming her dad was never invited to their big day. (Neither of her half-siblings is invited.) On Monday, several uninvited family members were spotted arriving at Heathrow Airport.

Weddings are emotionally-charged events. Sometimes, all those emotions make people do weird shit.

It’s enough drama to make your head spin—but as anyone who’s ever planned a wedding or big family party knows, weddings are emotionally-charged events. Sometimes, all those emotions make people do weird shit.

Also, obviously, this isn’t just any wedding—it’s a royal wedding. An estimated 3,000 onlookers will be breathlessly watching outside Windsor Castle on Saturday. Prince George and Princess Charlotte will be a page boy and a bridesmaid, respectively. Meghan’s riding in a freaking fairytale carriage to St. George’s Chapel. There are not one, but two receptions.

Are any of us surprised that this is turning into Father of the Bride Part 3? Or British Bridesmaids? Or My Best Friend’s Wedding…To a Prince? When you see the way most family drama plays out at non-royal weddings—I know a friend whose estranged mom backed out of her wedding the day of—it’s no wonder that this estimated $34 million affair would make Megan’s non-royal family lose their minds a little bit. The higher the stakes, the more intense the drama.

Are any of us surprised that this is turning into Father of the Bride Part 3? Or British Bridesmaids?

We’re used to seeing “perfect” royal weddings, and while Kate and William’s 2011 nuptials seemed to go off without a hitch, wedding day hiccups are all part of the process. Bad weather, last-minute seating chart changes, and a little bit of “Um, what is Aunt Susie doing here? She didn’t RSVP” drama is par for the course. There’s usually at least one clueless guest wearing white. (She’ll claim it was cream.) A cousin will probably bring a date who hits the tequila, then the dance floor—hard. It all goes back to that one episode of Sex and the City when Carrie helps Charlotte clean spilled red wine off her white dress following a series of other day-of mishaps and says, “I think the worse the wedding, the better the marriage.”

The point is, weddings make people do crazy things, so we should all have a little more sympathy for dear old dad. I once went to a wedding where a father toasted the married couple by comparing them to a pair of baby birds he spotted outside his office window. No one had a clue what the hell he was talking about, but whatever, cheers! At another wedding, my aunt lit her fingertips on fire when she bragged that she could put out the flambé in her dessert with her thumb and forefinger. And at another, the sister of the groom gave such a lengthy, incoherent speech that she was eventually ushered off stage.

At least Mr. Markle hasn’t lit his fingers on fire. Yet.

The Thomas Markle Royal Wedding Drama, Fully Explained


The Internet is focused on three things this week: Yanny, Laurel, and Thomas Markle. The first two are tied to a viral audio phenomenon, but the last is the star of some pretty intense royal wedding drama.

Thomas Markle, if you somehow don’t know, is Meghan Markle’s father. He lives in Mexico, and it’s unclear how close he is with Meghan. Some reports say they’re estranged; others contest they’re on good terms. Regardless, Thomas scored an invite to her wedding to Prince Harry, taking place this Saturday, May 19. And what’s more: He was going to walk Meghan down the aisle.

That doesn’t seem to be happening anymore, though. According to a new report from TMZ, Thomas is having heart surgery on Wednesday (May 16), and the recovery time overlaps with Meghan’s nuptials. This development, however, is just one chapter in the operatic saga that is Thomas Markle and the Royal Wedding. If you’re just now checking in to it all, don’t bounce from this page.

Below, you’ll find a timeline of everything that’s unfolded over the past week. Brace yourselves, because this story will probably give you whiplash.

May 4: Kensington Palace announces Thomas will walk Meghan down the aisle. The palace issued a statement that said, “Mr. Markle will walk his daughter down the aisle of St. George’s Chapel. Ms. Markle is delighted to have her parents by her side on this important and happy occasion.” The statement also revealed that Thomas and Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, would arrive in the U.K. the week of the wedding, allowing time for Prince Harry’s immediate family to meet them.

Obsessed with the royals? Same. Click here to get Meghan Markle updates—and more—from our daily newsletter.

May 12: The Daily Mail reports that viral photos of Thomas prepping for the wedding are fake. Last month, some photographs of Meghan’s father reading a picture book about Great Britain and looking up Prince Harry at an Internet café went viral. Turns out, those were allegedly staged. The Daily Mail published a story on Saturday (May 12) that posited Thomas worked with a paparazzi agency to set up the pics. Thomas explained to TMZ that he did this in attempt to “recast” his image after photographers “ambushed” him several times and took “unflattering” shots of him.

May 14: Thomas tells TMZ he’s decided not to attend the royal wedding. After the paparazzi photo scandal broke, Meghan’s dad reportedly spoke to TMZ directly, telling the outlet that the staged photos embarrassed him and he’s dropping out of the wedding to avoid causing Meghan or the royal family any further grief. In this interview, Thomas also mentioned he’d suffered a heart attack the previous week, but that wasn’t why he was backing out of the wedding. This was all because of the staged pics.

Later, Kensington Palace released a statement about the situation. “This is a deeply personal moment for Ms. Markle in the days before her wedding,” a palace spokesman said. “She and Prince Harry ask again for understanding and respect to be extended to Mr. Markle in this difficult situation.”

May 15: Thomas has a change of heart and says he wants to attend the wedding. In a second interview with TMZ, Thomas said Meghan had contacted him about the paparazzi photos and their pleasant chat changed his mind about ditching the wedding. “I hate the idea of missing one of the greatest moments in history and walking my daughter down the aisle,” Thomas reportedly told TMZ. His only contingency, though, was his health. He had to get the OK from his doctors to travel after his heart attack.

May 15: Thomas reveals he’s having heart surgery and can’t attend Meghan’s big day. Just a few hours after saying he wanted to go to the royal wedding, Thomas flip-flopped for a third time and said he’s out. The reason, this time, is health-related. In yet another chat with TMZ, Thomas said doctors scheduled his heart surgery for Wednesday, May 16, leaving him physically unable to fly out to London for Meghan’s nuptials.

And there you have it—for now. Truthfully, we won’t know for sure if Thomas will attend the royal wedding or not until the actual royal wedding. Lucky for us, it’s just a few days away.

Now Chrissy Teigen and John Legend Are Involved In the Kimye-Trump Drama


If you thought the Kim Kardashian-Kanye West-Donald Trump drama couldn’t get any messier, then strap yourself in—because Chrissy Teigen and John Legend just got involved.

First, a quick refresher on yesterday’s events. West—for unknown reasons—started tweeting positive things about Trump, which ticked off the entire Internet. Kardashian came to his defense, saying her husband has the right to say what he wants even if people don’t agree with him. Critics were also calling West mentally “unstable”—because of both his Trump tweets and earlier messages about Yeezy—and that pissed off Kardashian, too. “Mental Health is no joke and the media needs to stop spitting that out so casually. Bottom line,” she wrote on Twitter.

Everything was calm for a few hours, and then something truly random happened on Thursday (April 26). West posted screenshots of messages Legend sent him, urging him to reconsider his pro-Trump stances. He presented their text exchange without comment:

Legend: Hey it’s JL. I hope you’ll reconsider aligning yourself with Trump. You’re way too powerful and influential to endorse who he is and what he stands for. As you know, what you say really means something to your fans. They are loyal to you and respect your opinion. So many people who love you feel so betrayed right now because they know the harm that Trump’s policies cause, especially to people of color. Don’t let this be part of your legacy. You’re the greatest artist of our generation.

West: I love you John and I appreciate your thoughts. You bringing up my fans or my legacy is a tactic based on fear used to manipulate my free thought.

Yes, people: Kanye West literally said that John Legend—of Jesus Christ Superstar fame—was using fear tactics to “manipulate” his free thought.

West then explained the text exchange a little further on Twitter. “I tweeted the John text to show that there are people around me that disagree with me and voice their opinion. I respect everyone’s opinion but I stand my ground,” he wrote. “If you feel something don’t let peer pressure manipulate you.”

There doesn’t seem to be any bad blood between West and Legend, though. The Life of Pablo rapper posted the rest of their conversation, which was pleasant—and ended with Legend asking West to plug his new single. Here’s their exchange:

Legend: Think freely. Think with empathy and context too. Your words and actions have consequences. Much love. And since you’re posting texts, let me add that I have a new single out haha.

West: Haha. I love you John.

“I really appreciate this dialogue with John Legend because I’m actually very empathetic,” West added in another tweet. “Im still the kid from the telethon. I feel when people think of MAGA they don’t think of empathy…This is year one. We can’t ad empathy to MAGA by hating. We can only ad empathy with love and time and truly hearing all sides.”

West hilariously stayed true to his word, too, and told the world about Legend’s new song.

And that’s when Teigen jumped in with her hot take on Legend/West’s tweeting. “This is the most elaborate and complex google pixel phone ad I have ever seen,” she wrote, before directly asking Kardashian if they’re still on for their Friday night dinner. A valid concern, TBH.

“Yes but maybe no phones,” Kardashian jokingly replied. Again, valid. Cell phones are exactly why you’re here right now, knee-deep in this nonsense.

If you’re wondering why Teigen isn’t saying more about this sitch, it’s because she knows Kardashian and West personally and doesn’t want to cause waves by spilling more tea.

“Everyone keeps asking me to comment on shit,” she wrote. “Comment on psycho Tami Lasagna, whom I refuse to give the joy to, say something about RHOA, speak up about kanye. When it comes to people we know, we DO speak up. To THEM. not on Twitter. And sometimes, I guess it makes it to Twitter.”

“Makes it to Twitter” is a hilarious understatement at this stage of the game. Teigen barely tweeted about this insanity, and it’s still blowing up the Internet. Ahh, 2018!

A Breakdown of the Kim-Kanye-Trump Drama Happening on Twitter Right Now


Kim Kardashian just posted a super-lengthy Twitter thread defending one of Kanye West’s pro-Donald Trump tweets. What, did you expect for nothing to happen today? It’s Wednesday!

Anyway, here’s what happened. West posted a photo to Twitter on Wednesday (April 25) of one of the hallways in the West home and captioned it, “Do this look like the Sunken Place,” referring to the horror film Get Out. For the record, no, the hallway doesn’t look like the Sunken Place, but it does look like an updated version of where those dead girls play in The Shining.

That’s besides the point, though. What matters is Kardashian then replied, jokingly asking if they can now include their home on Keeping Up With the Kardashians since West broke their apparent rule about not posting pics of it on social media. It was a harmless and silly message that should’ve received no attention.

Of course that didn’t happen. These are the Kardashians, not Bobby from Queer Eye or some other person who doesn’t get the shine they deserve. News outlets ran with this story like the one time I ran a mile in high school. The Daily Mail posted a tweet that read, “Kim Kardashian scolds Kanye West on Twitter after he shares pictures of family home amid another bizarre tirade.” It’s important to note that the day before this, West also posted some business updates about Yeezy that people were quick to deem erratic.

All this began the transition from Kim Kardashian’s Funny Tweets to Kim Kardashian’s Serious Tweets.

“Oh RELAX I’m joking! Seriously you can’t have a personality on social media these days or your called bizarre or disturbing,” Kardashian wrote in response to The Daily Mail‘s headline.

That was the end of it—for an hour. Then, West took a page out of the Shania Twain book and said something positive about President Donald Trump. “You don’t have to agree with trump but the mob can’t make me not love him,” West wrote. “We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone. I don’t agree with everything anyone does. That’s what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought.”

I’m not even going to try and understand what West meant by this. The fact of the matter is this ticked people off—and they grew even more irate when he started saying more Trump-happy stuff.

“If your friend jumps off the bridge you don’t have to do the same,” he tweeted. “Ye being Ye is a fight for you to be you. For people In my life the idea of Trump is pretty much a 50 50 split but I don’t tell a Hillary supporter not to support Hillary
I love Hillary too…I love when people have their own ideas. You don’t have to be allowed anymore. Just be. Love who you want to love. That’s free thought. I’m not even political. I’m not a democrat or a republican.”

At this point, Kardashian apparently called West and told him to clarify his tweets. (I need to hear that convo ASAP.) “My wife just called me and she wanted me to make this clear to everyone. I don’t agree with everything Trump does. I don’t agree 100% with anyone but myself,” West tweeted.

This really didn’t help things, though, seeing as how minutes later West started posting pics of himself wearing a “Make America Great Again Hat”…

Trump even responded to West’s original tweet, writing, “Thank you Kanye, very cool!” Wow. This is even more dramatic than the time Kardashian lost her diamond earrings in the ocean.

Later, West shared Trump’s tweet that praised him because of course he did. My God.

Finally, this is where Kardashian jumped in. She posted a long thread in defense of West— saying that while she may not agree with all his politics, she supports his right to say what he wants. She then condemned tabloids for haphazardly saying West has mental health problems, which, fair. Here’s what she said, in full:

“To the media trying to demonize my husband let me just say this… your commentary on Kanye being erratic & his tweets being disturbing is actually scary. So quick to label him as having mental health issues for just being himself when he has always been expressive is not fair. Yesterday it was announced that Kanye had parted ways with some business people and media outlets made this about Kanye’s mental health. Rather than just a simple business decision. So I’m glad he tweeted about the state of his company and all of the exciting things happening. He’s a free thinker, is that not allowed in America? Because some of his ideas differ from yours you have to throw in the mental health card? That’s just not fair.

He’s actually out of the sunken place when he’s being himself which is very expressive. Now when he spoke out about Trump… Most people (including myself) have very different feelings & opinions about this. But this is HIS opinion. I believe in people being able to have their own opinions,even if really different from mine. He never said he agrees with his politics. Kanye will never run in the race of popular opinion and we know that and that’s why I love him and respect him and in a few years when someone else says the same exact thing but they aren’t labeled the way he is and you will all praise them! Kanye is years ahead of his time. Mental Health is no joke and the media needs to stop spitting that out so casually. Bottom line.”

Annnnnd end scene. Honestly, I can’t wait to see how this all unfolds on Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
