Kim Kardashian is getting real about her divorce from Kanye West.

On the Wednesday (October 15) episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, the SKIMS founder opened up about the "toxic" aspects of her marriage toward the end of her relationship with Ye. The former couple divorced in 2022 after eight years of marriage and share four children: North, 12, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6.

When host Alex Cooper asked about the "final straw" that led to Kardashian filing for divorce, the reality star pointed toward some of the "personal stuff" Ye aired out publicly that mentioned members of her family, per Page Six.

"There was just a lot of things that I wouldn't deal with. I didn't like the feeling of someone talking bad about my kids, grandmother, aunts — all of those feelings," she said, adding, "If someone feels that way, then we shouldn't be together."

The Kardashians star also revealed experiencing periods of "not feeling safe emotionally and financially" in her marriage, calling out an instance where the rapper allegedly bought several Lamborghinis and then "gave them away to all of his friends" during an "episode."

"You never know what you're going to get when you wake up, and that's a really unsettling feeling," she said. "Lack of stability was a big thing."

Kardashian explained that her desire to take better care of her children and set a good example ultimately influenced her decision to end their marriage, a move that she hopes will be clear to her kids in the future.

"Once my mental health starts to get affected and I can't parent the way I need to and I can't be present or focused, there's got to be one of us that can," she said. "I had to save myself in order to be a better mom for everyone, and I think that when everyone's older, they'll be able to understand and see that all."
