Media personality Kim Kardashian is very supportive of her ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson’s decision to continue with therapy after constant harassment by her former husband, Kanye West.
West has led a campaign of harassment against the Saturday Night Live star since news of his ex-wife’s new fling broke last year, nicknaming him “Skete” in a series of online posts.
After the new couple decided to break up last week, the rapper posted a fake newspaper cover announcing the death of Skete. He eventually took it down after it made reportedly made Kardashian “livid and incredibly upset.”
But a source told Page Six that the “Kardashians” star, 41, still had Davidson’s back.
“Kim was very supportive of Pete going to therapy,” a source told Page Six.
“Kanye was very detrimental. He was posting negative things — now add thousands and thousands of comments. Someone has to work with you to deal with something like that,” they added.
Davidson has occasionally met West’s attacks head-on, such as a heated text exchange in March where the comedian shared a selfie of himself atop white bedsheets, adding “In bed with your wife.”
Death threats from Kanye West’s fans were a large part of why Davidson has been in “trauma therapy” since April, reported People.
"The attention and negativity coming from Kanye and his antics is a trigger for [Pete], and he's had to seek out help," said the insider.
The SNL alum has always been open about his mental health issues, once praising West – who has also publicly struggled with mental health problems – for being open about them in 2018.
“Bravo Kanye West for standing up for yourself and speaking out against mental health,” he posted on Instagram.
“I can’t explain to you enough how difficult and scary it is to be honest about stuff like this. We need people like Kanye.”
Davison and Kardashian reportedly split over the stress of a long-distance relationship, as the actor had been filming in Australia for the past few months.
