Kim Kardashian Sources Address the Report That Kanye West’s NSFW Italy Pics Are ‘Worrying’ Her

Kanye West and his alleged wife Bianca Censori’s Italy vacation has received a lot of media coverage for Censori’s scantily-clad ensembles and West getting photographed with his pants down while on a boat with her. The Sun claimed that West’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian was concerned and embarrassed by West’s conduct abroad. Multiple sources close to Kardashian painted a different picture to TMZ. They said she genuinely isn’t bothered.

Apparently, Kardashian “isn’t staying up to date” on West and his personal life. She is only focused on co-parenting their four children—North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm—together. In the case of West’s NSFW photos, Kardashian views them as just an “unfortunate” wardrobe malfunction that paparazzi caught.

The comments stand in stark contrast to what a source claimed to The Sun, which TMZ’s sources called untrue.

“Kim’s been so worried about the new pics that have come out with Bianca—like how will she explain it all to the kids?” The Sun’s source alleged. “She’s embarrassed and worried for him—he’s wandering around barefoot with champagne in the street, something clearly isn’t right. It’s hard for her because as soon as she thinks she can move on, something like this happens, and she’s pulled back into it. It’s like every time Kanye and Bianca pull these nearly-naked stunts, it reminds everyone that Kim dressed up in skintight nude outfits during the marriage. She’d rather put it behind her and forget about it.”

Kardashian has not commented on West’s behavior herself. Her divorce from him was finalized at the end of November 2022.
