Kim Kardashian says her ex-husband Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, was behind one of the most damaging rumors about her during their entire marriage.
“And the one who was supposed to protect me, and still gives interviews saying he’ll be my ‘forever protector,’ hurts me the most,” the reality star told her mother, Kris Jenner, at the premiere of the season. of the Kardashians.
“He was the one who started a rumor that I was dating Drake, having an affair,” Kardashian shared in the episode, which aired on Wednesday. “Our entire marriage, he publicly accused me of that.”
“Then the person who is supposed to be most protective of me would publicly accuse me of having an affair throughout the entire marriage,” she continued. “I really can’t understand how he thinks he’s a protector.”

Rumors that Drake and Kardashian were having an affair first surfaced in 2018.
The reality star tweeted to Drake about the reports and responded publicly when The Shade Room posted on Instagram about Ye’s accusation.
“Never happened. End of story,” Kardashian wrote.
Ye brought up the rumors in November 2021 when he appeared on the Drink Champs podcast.
Kardashian said on the latest episode of The Kardashians that she doesn’t “know what to do” with her ex-husband anymore and “doesn’t want to be a part of this narrative.”
“When is this going to end? It never will,” she said.
“But he even looks down on me, because of my tape and brings it up all over town, by all means. Like, thanks for reminding people, once again,” Kardashian said. “All his antics, I don’t even know what the hell to call it, will one day be much more harmful to children than my tape.”
“And I have to sit here and say nothing, ever, because I know one day my kids will appreciate it,” Kardashian said, breaking down in tears.
