Celebrities like Halsey, Maren Morris and others are calling for people to stop joking about Kanye West’s “bipolar disorder.”

Yesterday, after a series of bizarre tweets from Kanye, many jokes and memes came. However, Kanye has since deleted the tweets.

Halsey also noted that “a lot of people you know probably have bipolar disorder and you aren’t aware of it. Taking this opportunity to make offensive remarks and villify people with mental illnesses is really not the way to go…this is the exact triggering shit that causes people to keep quiet about it.”

Maren Morris also made a similar plea.

Kim Kardashian is coming to the defense of her husband, and publicly acknowledged that he’s in the middle of a serious mental health issue.  Her comments come after 2 days of Twitter rants from the rapper.

Kim says, “As many of you know, Kanye has bipolar disorder. Anyone who has this or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand. I’ve never spoken publicly about how this has affected us at home because I am very protective of our children and Kanye’s right to privacy when it comes to his health.”

She also said, ”I understand Kanye is subject to criticism because he is a public figure and his actions at times can cause strong opinions and emotions.He is a brilliant but complicated person who on top of the pressures of being an artist and a black man, who experienced the painful loss of his mother, and has to deal with the pressure and isolation that is heightened by his bipolar disorder. Those who are close with Kanye know his heart and understand his words some times do not align with his intentions.” 

That said, Us Weekly claims Kim is meeting with divorce lawyers. 

His friend Damon Dash is currently with Kanye at his Wyoming ranch and denies that Kanye is “crazy” — and he doesn’t care if Kim and the Kardashians disagree.

Dash said, “People think he lost his mind just because he cried. The way he lost his mind and jumped on a jet and then jumped off the jet to come back to his 40,000-acre ranch? Yeah, I’d like to lose my mind like that.”

He added, “There’s definitely people around him that love him and he’s going to be all right. We are praying, we are working. People think like we are in an insane asylum [but] we got an album coming out.”
