1
00:00:04,730 --> 00:00:06,900
[Nick] Julianna,
can you come here for a second, please?
2
00:00:06,900 --> 00:00:08,470
- And bring me Ye's prenup.
- [Julianna] Okay.
3
00:00:10,370 --> 00:00:12,270
So, I went ahead and...
4
00:00:12,270 --> 00:00:13,100
Oh, perfect.
5
00:00:19,970 --> 00:00:22,170
As soon as I got
formally retained,
6
00:00:22,170 --> 00:00:24,600
{\an8}I had to make sense
of where the case was at.
7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,230
Immediately, I could see
that there was the trial dates.
8
00:00:29,230 --> 00:00:33,170
As a divorce attorney
who's handled very complex cases...
9
00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:35,730
the goal should be
to avoid trial.
10
00:00:37,100 --> 00:00:39,430
It was clear that this case
was a race against time.
11
00:00:46,270 --> 00:00:49,530
It was the biggest news story
on the planet.
12
00:00:49,530 --> 00:00:53,000
People love a messy
public spectacle.
13
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,330
[Neama] There was so much
at stake in this case,
14
00:00:55,330 --> 00:00:57,730
it turned nasty,
it turned litigious.
15
00:01:01,070 --> 00:01:05,270
[Nick] Ye objected to the way
that Kim was parenting the children.
16
00:01:05,270 --> 00:01:06,530
{\an8}I am her father.
17
00:01:06,530 --> 00:01:10,370
{\an8}I know y'all don't
respect fathers and the idea of family.
18
00:01:10,370 --> 00:01:11,630
[reporters
speaking indistinctly]
19
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,600
Kim accuses him
of emotional abuse
20
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,500
and harassment.
21
00:01:16,500 --> 00:01:19,500
Kanye's actions were
absolutely dangerous, right?
22
00:01:20,270 --> 00:01:21,100
[camera shutter clicking]
23
00:01:23,900 --> 00:01:25,170
[Robert] People
who are getting divorced
24
00:01:25,170 --> 00:01:27,730
need to resolve their issues
as quickly as they can
25
00:01:27,730 --> 00:01:29,370
because there's so much
to lose.
26
00:01:30,370 --> 00:01:32,470
[Albe] What does it tell
about his character
27
00:01:32,470 --> 00:01:34,370
to fight for his marriage?
28
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,700
What we really learned
in this case was this was a toxic relationship.

[cheering]
41
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,000
[Larry] In 2020,
Kanye announces
42
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,600
he's gonna be running
for president.
43
00:02:41,370 --> 00:02:43,530
{\an8}He has a rally,
the only rally,
44
00:02:43,530 --> 00:02:45,800
{\an8}in South Carolina.
And at that rally,
45
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,100
{\an8}he does a kind of stream
of consciousness speech.
46
00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:50,230
I remember...
47
00:02:51,270 --> 00:02:53,330
that my girlfriend called me
48
00:02:53,330 --> 00:02:55,870
screaming and crying.
49
00:02:56,700 --> 00:02:58,000
She said she was pregnant.
50
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,630
And for one month
and two months and three months...
51
00:03:03,170 --> 00:03:07,270
we talked about her
and I having this child.
52
00:03:07,270 --> 00:03:10,530
[Larry] In that rally,
Kanye reveals
53
00:03:10,530 --> 00:03:13,730
that they had considered
having an abortion of North, their first child,
54
00:03:13,730 --> 00:03:15,170
back when she was pregnant.
55
00:03:15,170 --> 00:03:19,730
So, even if my wife
were to divorce me after this speech,
56
00:03:19,730 --> 00:03:24,700
she brought North
into the world, even when I didn't want to.
57
00:03:24,700 --> 00:03:27,430
- [woman 1] Aw!
- [woman 2] Don't... Don't cry.
58
00:03:27,430 --> 00:03:29,600
[woman 1] Kanye!
59
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,000
[all cheering and applauding]
60
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,270
[August] There's still
a real lived sense
61
00:03:34,270 --> 00:03:37,470
that your family
can be taken from you at any moment,
62
00:03:37,470 --> 00:03:39,330
{\an8}and you will be left
alone in the world.
63
00:03:39,330 --> 00:03:41,730
[crying] I almost killed
my daughter!
64
00:03:42,970 --> 00:03:45,270
I almost killed
my daughter!
65
00:03:46,430 --> 00:03:48,070
[man] You didn't.
66
00:03:48,070 --> 00:03:50,970
[Albe] And I think
the most important thing for Ye is family.
67
00:03:50,970 --> 00:03:53,630
{\an8}I think that's the most
important thing,
68
00:03:53,630 --> 00:03:55,100
{\an8}God, family.
69
00:03:56,470 --> 00:03:57,600
There's nothing else.
70
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,330
[all clamoring]
71
00:04:09,100 --> 00:04:11,170
[August] Soon after
that South Carolina rally,
72
00:04:11,170 --> 00:04:14,500
the rumors of the marriage
being at its end started circulating.
73
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,900
Kim Kardashian
filed for a divorce
74
00:04:17,900 --> 00:04:19,800
the next year, formally.
75
00:04:37,730 --> 00:04:39,000
[Neama] The stated
reason for the divorce
76
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000
{\an8}was irreconcilable
differences.
77
00:04:42,100 --> 00:04:45,000
When you're fighting
over kids, property and money,
78
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,370
the possibility
of an explosion,
79
00:04:47,370 --> 00:04:49,900
someone lighting that match,
was always there.
80
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,000
[Nick] Key summary
of the issues that are resolved by the prenup
81
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,100
are, uh,
the property division...
82
00:04:56,870 --> 00:04:59,100
I knew very little
what to expect
83
00:04:59,100 --> 00:05:00,870
from him as a client.
84
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:05,370
{\an8}I certainly had
not represented a client,
85
00:05:05,370 --> 00:05:08,700
{\an8}uh, who had received
as much media attention.
86
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,270
...and spousal support.
87
00:05:12,270 --> 00:05:15,900
The problem is that Ye
didn't want to get divorced from Kim.
88
00:05:17,170 --> 00:05:18,870
And that he actually wanted
to save the marriage.
89
00:05:19,730 --> 00:05:22,530
{\an8}I think he didn't wanna be
Kanye without Kim.
90
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:33,630
[camera shutter clicking]
91
00:05:35,100 --> 00:05:36,970
[August] For six years,
Kim and Kanye
92
00:05:36,970 --> 00:05:38,870
kind of were
America's sweethearts.
93
00:05:39,900 --> 00:05:41,000
[Larry]
Nobody was more different
94
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,170
than Kim Kardashian
and Kanye West.
95
00:05:44,170 --> 00:05:48,430
He was a hipster,
rapper, operating in a much higher plane.
96
00:05:48,430 --> 00:05:50,530
She was someone
who was famous for being famous.
97
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,630
[August] The combination
of this really famous family
98
00:05:56,630 --> 00:05:59,000
that is incredibly
stage-managed
99
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,270
coupled with
the most volatile,
100
00:06:02,270 --> 00:06:05,470
uncensored, unmediated
musician alive
101
00:06:05,470 --> 00:06:09,370
was a fascinating premise
to begin with.
102
00:06:13,170 --> 00:06:16,000
[Larry] You either believed
she's very naive...
103
00:06:17,170 --> 00:06:19,230
or that she is trying
to just, like, take
104
00:06:19,230 --> 00:06:21,070
one bigger step
on the ladder of fame.
105
00:06:30,730 --> 00:06:33,230
[reporters
talking indistinctly]
106
00:06:34,630 --> 00:06:36,500
[Larry] The Kardashians,
dare I say,
107
00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:37,800
are like American royalty,
108
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,230
or the American royal family.
109
00:06:46,630 --> 00:06:48,530
[Zan] Kim and Kanye
actually ended up getting married
110
00:06:48,530 --> 00:06:49,730
in Florence.
111
00:06:49,730 --> 00:06:50,900
And, of course,
the wedding also became
112
00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:53,100
{\an8}an entire episode
of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
113
00:06:55,970 --> 00:06:57,530
{\an8}[Kim whispering]
114
00:06:57,530 --> 00:07:00,430
{\an8}It's crazy that, you know,
Kanye and I have been so close
115
00:07:00,430 --> 00:07:02,000
{\an8}for so many years.
116
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,630
{\an8}I finally feel like, you know,
I'm marrying my best friend.
117
00:07:08,530 --> 00:07:09,800
{\an8}[Zan] Like everything
that the couple did,
118
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,170
{\an8}especially in those
early days,
119
00:07:11,170 --> 00:07:13,870
it was a spectacle.
120
00:07:13,870 --> 00:07:16,370
[Larry] Oh, I don't wanna
say that her marriage to Kanye West
121
00:07:16,370 --> 00:07:18,330
was just another plot point.
122
00:07:18,330 --> 00:07:19,530
It served as one.
123
00:07:21,870 --> 00:07:25,600
[Emily] Kanye's involvement
in the Kardashian is particularly difficult
124
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,730
because being in that family
involves an aspect of fame
125
00:07:28,730 --> 00:07:31,170
that Kanye was never
really interested in to begin with.
126
00:07:34,370 --> 00:07:37,530
[Zan] Keeping Up
with the Kardashians is a reality TV show
127
00:07:37,530 --> 00:07:40,100
and it was just focused on
the Kardashian family.
128
00:07:40,100 --> 00:07:41,270
{\an8}- [slight chuckle]
- Yeah.
129
00:07:41,270 --> 00:07:43,900
{\an8}- So, if you wanna,
like, look up? - [Kanye] Ah.
130
00:07:43,900 --> 00:07:45,970
{\an8}This is my first time
doing this.
131
00:07:45,970 --> 00:07:48,100
{\an8}I'm not actually
attempting to do good.
132
00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:49,970
{\an8}[chuckles] I just...
133
00:07:49,970 --> 00:07:51,170
{\an8}[laughs]
134
00:07:51,170 --> 00:07:53,800
{\an8}Kanye mostly was not
on Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
135
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,370
He was uncomfortable being
part of the reality show.
136
00:07:56,370 --> 00:07:58,100
[cameras flashing]
137
00:08:00,270 --> 00:08:01,800
[Larry] Being married
into the Kardashian family
138
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,230
was the worst thing
for him, right?
139
00:08:03,230 --> 00:08:07,470
Because he was on
display at all times. He was fair game.
140
00:08:07,470 --> 00:08:10,730
{\an8}From that moment,
that you can sort of see his decline set in.
141
00:08:10,730 --> 00:08:13,170
{\an8}[man] Yo, what's up, Ye?
Yes, I'm a big fan, bro.
142
00:08:13,170 --> 00:08:15,070
{\an8}- I love your work.
I love your work. - I appreciate it.
143
00:08:15,070 --> 00:08:16,470
{\an8}I appreciate it,
but don't talk.
144
00:08:16,470 --> 00:08:19,700
{\an8}The spotlight was really
not the best thing for him.
145
00:08:19,700 --> 00:08:22,270
{\an8}[Kanye] I don't wanna hear
paparazzi talk to me
146
00:08:22,270 --> 00:08:24,230
or anybody I know.
147
00:08:24,230 --> 00:08:26,370
{\an8}[Albe] Entertainment world
is smoke and mirrors,
148
00:08:26,370 --> 00:08:28,800
{\an8}and so, people are gonna
choke around the smoke.
149
00:08:29,900 --> 00:08:31,800
{\an8}Yo, I said, "Don't..."
I said, "Don't talk."
150
00:08:39,070 --> 00:08:41,330
[Nick] Kim was previously
married to Damon Thomas,
151
00:08:41,330 --> 00:08:43,700
and that ended
in divorce in 2004.
152
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,070
Kris Humphries,
she was married to.
153
00:08:46,070 --> 00:08:48,900
That ended in divorce
on April 19th, 2013.
154
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,070
The three main reasons
that I've found for spouses to get divorced
155
00:08:54,070 --> 00:08:58,370
{\an8}are infidelity, money
or they just fall out of love.
156
00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:03,000
[Natalie] Kim
and Kanye are from two different cultures.
157
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,200
Their backgrounds
were just way too different.
158
00:09:06,370 --> 00:09:07,740
Kim is from Calabasas.
159
00:09:07,740 --> 00:09:11,630
She comes from
a very affluential, privileged lifestyle.
160
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,270
{\an8}Kanye comes from
the South Side of Chicago,
161
00:09:14,270 --> 00:09:15,740
{\an8}raised by a single mother.
162
00:09:15,740 --> 00:09:19,630
Not a lot of glitz and glam
in his background.
163
00:09:28,430 --> 00:09:30,530
[Albe] If you know
anything about Chicago,
164
00:09:30,530 --> 00:09:34,100
that's a gritty city,
it's a working class city, but it's also...
165
00:09:34,100 --> 00:09:37,200
{\an8}They always had their eye
on the bigger prize.
166
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,200
[Larry] He had
an English professor for a mother.
167
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,900
He had a photojournalist
and Black Panther for a father.
168
00:09:41,900 --> 00:09:42,970
[chanting indistinctly]
169
00:09:44,470 --> 00:09:45,900
[Larry] But their home
was broken,
170
00:09:45,900 --> 00:09:48,800
and I think both
of those things influenced his character.
171
00:09:58,900 --> 00:10:00,740
[Zan] The Kardashians
are very different.
172
00:10:01,630 --> 00:10:03,370
They very much grew up
a Hollywood family.
173
00:10:08,700 --> 00:10:10,630
{\an8}Someone get a tape of this,
because I hope you do
174
00:10:10,630 --> 00:10:11,800
{\an8}so you can see me
when I'm famous,
175
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,270
{\an8}and also you'll remember me.
176
00:10:13,270 --> 00:10:15,570
{\an8}[Larry] Kim Kardashian
wanted to be famous.
177
00:10:15,570 --> 00:10:17,470
{\an8}She worked for Paris Hilton...
178
00:10:17,470 --> 00:10:20,470
who was the kind of urtext
in getting famous.
179
00:10:22,270 --> 00:10:25,740
She learned about how Paris
constructed her fame
180
00:10:25,740 --> 00:10:27,100
based off "nothing," right?
181
00:10:29,370 --> 00:10:31,330
{\an8}[Larry] A sex tape
helps always.
182
00:10:31,330 --> 00:10:33,370
{\an8}But a mother
who was very keen on this idea
183
00:10:33,370 --> 00:10:35,900
{\an8}of the family
becoming an industry.
184
00:10:37,370 --> 00:10:39,900
{\an8}[Kris] The reason that
the Kardashian-Jenner brand
185
00:10:39,900 --> 00:10:41,370
{\an8}has had so much longevity
186
00:10:41,370 --> 00:10:44,800
{\an8}is because it's sort of
the perfect storm.
187
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,470
{\an8}I think that the foundation
of the brand
188
00:10:47,470 --> 00:10:49,470
{\an8}has always been the show.
189
00:10:49,470 --> 00:10:51,970
{\an8}And I think
the longevity of the show
190
00:10:51,970 --> 00:10:54,840
{\an8}has nurtured
the longevity of the brand.
191
00:10:55,900 --> 00:10:58,600
[man] Wow, Kim.
You look beautiful, Kim.
192
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,470
[Zan] Kris is absolutely not
a passive mother.
193
00:11:00,470 --> 00:11:02,200
[man] Making the family
strong, Kris.
194
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,970
She is the mastermind
of their careers.
195
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,200
Keeping Up
with the Kardashians sort of appealed
196
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:09,840
to audiences
in several ways.
197
00:11:11,270 --> 00:11:13,170
{\an8}Early on, it was just
a fun reality show.
198
00:11:14,270 --> 00:11:17,840
[Kim] You'll see each of us
and what we do individually
199
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,630
in our daily lives,
and then how we come together.
200
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,600
[Zan] As the family
got more famous,
201
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,270
it became a way
to potentially gain some insight
202
00:11:26,270 --> 00:11:28,700
into things
that were happening with the Kardashians
203
00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:29,600
in real time.
204
00:11:31,970 --> 00:11:34,200
[Larry] Artistry is not
what the Kardashians are about.
205
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,000
They're about fame,
totally about fame.
206
00:11:38,570 --> 00:11:41,370
Kanye seemed frankly
more concerned about creating
207
00:11:41,370 --> 00:11:43,470
and the act
of creating in music
208
00:11:43,470 --> 00:11:45,100
than he did in fame.
209
00:11:59,740 --> 00:12:02,270
[August] Kanye West didn't get
his start as a rapper.
210
00:12:02,270 --> 00:12:03,900
It took a lot of work
for him to convince people
211
00:12:03,900 --> 00:12:05,740
that he was a capable rapper
212
00:12:05,740 --> 00:12:08,270
with a really unique voice
that fans would respond to.
213
00:12:09,700 --> 00:12:13,100
And, initially,
he kinda struggled to be taken seriously.
214
00:12:13,100 --> 00:12:14,530

218
00:12:22,630 --> 00:12:24,630
{\an8}[August] You know,
there's a famous scene of him walking around,
219
00:12:24,630 --> 00:12:26,970
{\an8}trying to convince
Def Jam to sign him,
220
00:12:26,970 --> 00:12:29,100
{\an8}and, you know,
it's not necessarily going
221
00:12:29,100 --> 00:12:30,430
{\an8}over the way
he thought it was.
222
00:12:31,700 --> 00:12:33,270
{\an8}But once The College Dropout
came out,
223
00:12:33,270 --> 00:12:35,270
{\an8}and especially his song
Through the Wire,
224
00:12:35,270 --> 00:12:37,070
{\an8}it became clear

228
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,570
{\an8}[August] He was just
really something different
229
00:12:44,570 --> 00:12:45,840
{\an8}with a lot of credibility,
230
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,840
but also pop savvy.
231
00:12:49,570 --> 00:12:52,370
[Natalie] He was
what we called back then a conscious rapper,
232
00:12:52,370 --> 00:12:55,600
so he wasn't rapping
about guns and gangs
233
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,000
and, you know, the typical
hardcore rap stuff.
234
00:13:01,740 --> 00:13:06,270
[Albe] I think
Jeen-yuhs is something that is simplified.
235
00:13:07,100 --> 00:13:10,630
But I will say,
2,000 years from now,
236
00:13:10,630 --> 00:13:12,530
we'll talk...
We'll be talking about Ye.
237
00:13:15,170 --> 00:13:17,600
[Zack] He put out some
of the most influential,
238
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,200
critically-acclaimed albums
of the aughts.
239
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,070
{\an8}And he has
the biggest shoe line since Michael Jordan.
240
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:25,840
[Kanye] Look at all these.
241
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,800
Look at these designs,
look at these ideas,
242
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,270
all together.
243
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:36,200
[Albe] He's one of
the greatest product men known to our culture.
244
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,700
He can give you
a finite product in your hand,
245
00:13:39,700 --> 00:13:42,170
that you touch and go, "Wow!
I didn't see it like this.
246
00:13:42,170 --> 00:13:44,000
And now that I see it
like this, this is great."
247
00:13:45,740 --> 00:13:48,900
[Kanye] I believe
that the world can be saved
248
00:13:48,900 --> 00:13:52,270
through unselfish design,
through unselfish creation.
249
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,570
[Albe] I don't think
I've ever spent the time with that man
250
00:13:57,570 --> 00:13:59,900
and he didn't say something
251
00:13:59,900 --> 00:14:03,070
to which he wanted
to benefit humanity...
252
00:14:03,970 --> 00:14:04,900
that day.
253
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,630
I got a chance to meet
Dr. Donda West couple times...
254
00:14:19,370 --> 00:14:21,800
and she changed my life.
255
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,740
I look at her as not just
his philosopher or his teacher,
256
00:14:25,740 --> 00:14:30,100
but also someone
that was so interested in how he spoke
257
00:14:30,100 --> 00:14:34,900
that he had a fire to say
more interesting things.
258
00:14:37,100 --> 00:14:40,800
[August] In 2022, there was
a three-part documentary called Jeen-yuhs
259
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,470
that aired on Netflix.
260
00:14:42,470 --> 00:14:45,740
And it was really unlike
anything I'd seen in a music documentary
261
00:14:45,740 --> 00:14:49,740
to have that much footage
of him so intimately.

267
00:15:03,270 --> 00:15:05,630
[August] The moment
when Kanye West and Donda West
268
00:15:05,630 --> 00:15:08,070
were singing Mama together,
I think it just showed
269
00:15:08,070 --> 00:15:10,270
that music was kind of
a shared language for them,
270
00:15:10,270 --> 00:15:12,430
that, like, she was a fan
of his music
271
00:15:12,430 --> 00:15:15,170
as much as she kinda
knew him as a son.
272
00:15:38,570 --> 00:15:41,200
[Emily] Kanye will
always blame himself for his mother's death
273
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,070
{\an8}because he paid
for her plastic surgery,
274
00:15:44,070 --> 00:15:46,200
{\an8}which she ultimately died
from the complications of.
275
00:15:49,740 --> 00:15:52,630
[Larry] It is impossible
to overstate how much of an impact
276
00:15:52,630 --> 00:15:54,700
Donda West's death
had on Kanye West.
277
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,840
He was visibly,
publicly shattered by this.
278
00:16:04,270 --> 00:16:08,740
I'm at that point
where, you know, I long to have a family.
279
00:16:08,740 --> 00:16:13,330
Especially, losing my mother,
I just really wish that I had, like...
280
00:16:13,330 --> 00:16:16,070
uh, the type of woman
that would have supported me
281
00:16:16,070 --> 00:16:18,170
through a situation
like that, you know?
282
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,530
[reporter] The world's
number one power couple...
283
00:16:30,370 --> 00:16:32,370
Kanye and Kim.
284
00:16:32,370 --> 00:16:36,530
[August] Kim Kardashian
was definitely a turning point in his life.
285
00:16:36,530 --> 00:16:39,000
It would be really
difficult to say if this was the thing
286
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,000
that pulled him out
of the depths of his grief.
287
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,470
But it definitely
was the start of something new for him.
288
00:16:49,370 --> 00:16:51,630
[Natalie] Kim benefited
from this relationship with Kanye
289
00:16:51,630 --> 00:16:52,600
more than Kanye did.
290
00:16:55,070 --> 00:16:57,840
[Zan] There was something
just always a little bit D-list about her.
291
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,630
Kanye really helped elevate
Kim's status from D-list to A-list.
292
00:17:05,100 --> 00:17:08,070
Before Kanye, brands literally
would not dress Kim.
293
00:17:08,070 --> 00:17:10,530
She was blacklisted by a lot
of the major designers.
294
00:17:10,530 --> 00:17:11,840
[reported] Kanye,
how was the show?
295
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,470
Are you gonna make
a new show this year?
296
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,470
[Natalie] He positioned her
in certain places of high visibility,
297
00:17:19,470 --> 00:17:21,570
so she's no longer
on the E! network.
298
00:17:21,570 --> 00:17:24,840
Now she is like
Paris Fashion Week front row.
299
00:17:27,170 --> 00:17:30,840
Kim became so famous
because she has an acute understanding of fame
300
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,000
and how to use fame.
301
00:17:35,270 --> 00:17:38,530
Now she's the girlfriend,
the wife, the mother of the children
302
00:17:38,530 --> 00:17:41,700
of one of the most famous
rappers of all time.
303
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,100
[reporter] Kanye!
Talk to me, Kanye!
304
00:17:49,900 --> 00:17:51,370
What's going on, man?
305
00:17:51,370 --> 00:17:54,470
[Zan] But the level of fame
that the Kardashians have is enormous.
306
00:17:54,470 --> 00:17:55,840
[reporter] What's
going on, man?
307
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,630
[Zan] And it seems like a lot
of the men in their lives,
308
00:17:57,630 --> 00:17:58,900
who are often already famous,
309
00:17:58,900 --> 00:18:00,600
when they get
to sort of that level,
310
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,000
the pressure is
too much for them,
311
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,470
and they just...
They can't handle it.
312
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:08,630
[camera shutter clicking]
313
00:18:20,370 --> 00:18:24,370
{\an8}[Kanye] I ain't here
to massage you with a fake truth,
314
00:18:24,370 --> 00:18:27,630
{\an8}telling you that Hillary
gonna win over and over and over.
315
00:18:27,630 --> 00:18:29,900
{\an8}And you wake up,
you still can't believe it!
316
00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:33,570
{\an8}You know why?
Because you was lied to by Google.
317
00:18:33,570 --> 00:18:36,100
{\an8}You was lied to
by Mark Zuckerberg.
318
00:18:36,100 --> 00:18:38,330
{\an8}[Natalie] He did
this show in Sacramento,
319
00:18:38,330 --> 00:18:39,570
{\an8}and I was there.
320
00:18:39,570 --> 00:18:41,630
{\an8}And he rants
and rants for 20 minutes.

a field day, press.

{\an8}Get ready, get ready.

00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,070
{\an8}'Cause the show's over.
324
00:18:49,070 --> 00:18:50,600
{\an8}[man] What the [bleep]?
325
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:51,630
{\an8}What?
326
00:18:52,370 --> 00:18:53,270
{\an8}No!
327
00:18:53,270 --> 00:18:56,070
{\an8}Ends the show abruptly
and just leaves.
328
00:18:56,070 --> 00:18:58,600
And we didn't get a show.
Just nothing.
329
00:19:00,530 --> 00:19:02,470
His team,
Kardashians included,
330
00:19:02,470 --> 00:19:05,530
were trying to convince us
that he didn't have a mental health problem.
331
00:19:09,970 --> 00:19:13,000
[August] It became clear
that there was a lot of tension
332
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,370
and mental illness
and volatility under the surface.
333
00:19:16,370 --> 00:19:18,100
[siren blaring]
334
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,470
[Kanye's doctor]
I'm actually, uh, one of his doctors.
335
00:19:26,470 --> 00:19:27,630
I'm just calling
from my cell phone...
336
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,200
[siren blaring]
337
00:19:46,330 --> 00:19:48,470
[August] He, uh, was checked
into a psychiatric facility,
338
00:19:48,470 --> 00:19:50,600
and the 911 call
that brought him there
339
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,370
was leaked to TMZ.
340
00:19:53,370 --> 00:19:56,630
I'm sure that was added
to his trauma and stress at the moment.
341
00:19:56,630 --> 00:19:58,970
[man] Best rapper alive!
Best rapper alive!
342
00:19:58,970 --> 00:20:00,070
[August] He went on
David Letterman later
343
00:20:00,070 --> 00:20:01,740
to talk about
how this impacted him.
344
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,530
{\an8}And you have this moment...
345
00:20:05,530 --> 00:20:08,700
{\an8}you feel everyone
wants to kill you.
346
00:20:08,700 --> 00:20:11,370
{\an8}You pretty much
don't trust anyone.
347
00:20:11,370 --> 00:20:15,170
{\an8}And you have this moment
where they put you, they handcuff you,
348
00:20:15,170 --> 00:20:17,840
{\an8}they drug you,
they put you on the bed.
349
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,200
{\an8}And they separate you
from everyone you know.
350
00:20:23,740 --> 00:20:26,740
[August] It really brought
home the stakes of what he was going through.
351
00:20:26,740 --> 00:20:29,330
But, also, how bracing
of a moment it was
352
00:20:29,330 --> 00:20:30,900
that he needed to get
much deeper help.
353
00:20:32,100 --> 00:20:33,470
[reporter] Kris! Kris!
354
00:20:33,470 --> 00:20:35,100
[August] Kim Kardashian
came from a family
355
00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:38,430
where, kind of, any admission
of weakness is non grata
356
00:20:38,430 --> 00:20:40,900
outside of the family.
Didn't quite know what to do
357
00:20:40,900 --> 00:20:44,070
with someone in their fold
kind of acting so erratically.
358
00:20:45,900 --> 00:20:47,900
The last place he needed to be
was with a family
359
00:20:47,900 --> 00:20:50,100
that was on TV
and in social media
360
00:20:50,100 --> 00:20:51,740
and in the public 24/7.
361
00:20:51,740 --> 00:20:54,430
He's not a guy
who is gonna get any better
362
00:20:54,430 --> 00:20:56,900
being on that platform
all day long, like they are.
363
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,800
[Kanye] Let me
tell you about crazy,
364
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,440
{\an8}because I went
to the hospital.
365
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,940
{\an8}I was diagnosed
with being bipolar.
366
00:21:11,940 --> 00:21:12,840
{\an8}I went...
367
00:21:13,670 --> 00:21:17,540
{\an8}crazy. I am not crazy,
368
00:21:17,540 --> 00:21:19,540
{\an8}but I definitely
can go there...
369
00:21:20,070 --> 00:21:20,940
{\an8}if pushed.
370
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:34,470
[Rwenshaun] Bipolar disorder
is something that we use to describe individuals
371
00:21:34,470 --> 00:21:36,100
who have a mood disorder,
372
00:21:36,100 --> 00:21:37,170
{\an8}where they shift
between moods,
373
00:21:37,170 --> 00:21:39,900
{\an8}between their low-lows,
which is depression,
374
00:21:39,900 --> 00:21:41,200
{\an8}and their high-highs,
which is mania.
375
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,300
It's hard to describe
exactly what episodes Kanye is in
376
00:21:48,300 --> 00:21:50,840
because we only see one side.
377
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:56,200
But then, also, understanding
how media plays this one side.
378
00:21:59,100 --> 00:22:02,440
[Emily] Almost as soon
as he makes this announcement that he has bipolar disorder,
379
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,470
we see him go off on a spree
of media appearances
380
00:22:05,470 --> 00:22:08,300
that seem to just further
his own unravelling.
381
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,700
{\an8}Everyone listen
to this, please.
382
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,940
{\an8}Two day before
I was in the hospital,
383
00:22:15,940 --> 00:22:17,740
{\an8}I was on opioids.
384
00:22:17,740 --> 00:22:19,900
{\an8}I was addicted to opioids.
385
00:22:19,900 --> 00:22:23,740
{\an8}I had plastic surgery
because I was trying to look good for y'all.
386
00:22:24,370 --> 00:22:26,540
{\an8}I got liposuction.
387
00:22:26,540 --> 00:22:28,370
{\an8}Because I didn't want y'all
to call me fat,
388
00:22:28,370 --> 00:22:30,170
{\an8}like y'all called Rob
at the wedding
389
00:22:30,170 --> 00:22:33,170
{\an8}and made him fly home
before me and Kim got married.
390
00:22:34,470 --> 00:22:38,170
{\an8}The TMZ interview seems
pretty directly correlated
391
00:22:38,170 --> 00:22:39,800
{\an8}to his bipolar diagnosis
392
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,170
and his refusal
to take medication.
393
00:22:42,170 --> 00:22:44,570
And it seems to kind
of ramp him up
394
00:22:44,570 --> 00:22:46,300
and push him
even farther, maybe,
395
00:22:46,300 --> 00:22:47,700
into this mania.
396
00:22:47,700 --> 00:22:48,940
[indistinct shouting]
397
00:22:50,300 --> 00:22:53,940
[Natalie]
Once Kanye came out with his mental health diagnosis,
398
00:22:53,940 --> 00:22:56,000
there should've been
more grace extended.
399
00:22:57,370 --> 00:23:01,940
{\an8}But in America, it's very easy
to paint a Black man as crazy,
400
00:23:01,940 --> 00:23:05,570
{\an8}or as aggressive,
or offensive.
401
00:23:06,470 --> 00:23:07,440
[reporter] What's up, Ye?
402
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,470
I always say Kanye talks
like a college essay
403
00:23:11,470 --> 00:23:12,540
that no one proofread.
404
00:23:12,540 --> 00:23:14,100
[reporter] Hey,
how you doing, Kim?
405
00:23:14,100 --> 00:23:18,170
[Natalie] But I think Kris
and Kim are really mindful about their brand.
406
00:23:18,170 --> 00:23:19,540
That's a trigger for Kanye,
407
00:23:19,540 --> 00:23:22,000
because, like he said,
he cannot be managed.
408
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,670
Like, you're not
gonna control me
409
00:23:23,670 --> 00:23:25,300
and I'm gonna say
what I wanna say, do what I want...
410
00:23:25,300 --> 00:23:26,200
I don't care
what it looks like.
411
00:23:30,370 --> 00:23:33,440
[Zan] Kim's one of the most
brand-managed people in the world.
412
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,000
You know, initially,
protecting Kanye
413
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,540
{\an8}was protecting
the Kardashian brand. He was part of it.
414
00:23:37,540 --> 00:23:38,470
{\an8}And it became apparent
415
00:23:38,470 --> 00:23:40,100
{\an8}that that was actually not
gonna be the case.
416
00:23:40,100 --> 00:23:42,670
And then they started saying,
"Okay. Well, then we're gonna show you
417
00:23:42,670 --> 00:23:44,100
in a different light...
418
00:23:44,100 --> 00:23:45,900
because we need
to protect ourselves."
419
00:23:45,900 --> 00:23:47,170
[camera shutter clicking]
420
00:23:49,470 --> 00:23:51,300
[Emily] Over the years,
we've seen a change
421
00:23:51,300 --> 00:23:52,540
in actually
how they present him
422
00:23:52,540 --> 00:23:54,300
on Keeping Up
with the Kardashians.
423
00:23:54,900 --> 00:23:56,570
It gets darker and heavier,
424
00:23:56,570 --> 00:24:00,370
and it kinda focuses
on more the hardships of their relationship
425
00:24:00,370 --> 00:24:02,900
versus kind of the, like,
lighthearted moments of it.
426
00:24:06,740 --> 00:24:07,800
{\an8}[Kanye speaking]
427
00:24:10,670 --> 00:24:13,440
{\an8}[Kim] You built me up
to be this, like, sexy person,
428
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:14,740
{\an8}and confidence
and all this stuff.
429
00:24:14,740 --> 00:24:16,470
{\an8}- [Kanye] Yeah.
- And just because you're on a journey
430
00:24:16,470 --> 00:24:18,470
{\an8}and you're on
your transformation,
431
00:24:18,470 --> 00:24:19,840
{\an8}doesn't mean
I'm in the right...
432
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,370
{\an8}I'm in the same spot with you.
433
00:24:21,370 --> 00:24:24,100
{\an8}- So--
- Okay, all right. So all right.
434
00:24:24,100 --> 00:24:25,000
{\an8}All right, cool.
435
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,440
{\an8}Oh, my God.
That's absolutely ridiculous.
436
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:42,270
I think it might be used as
a tactic or a way to paint Kanye as this unstable person.
437
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,670
[Zan] Kim Kardashian has a lot
to gain by playing nice.
438
00:24:48,670 --> 00:24:51,900
But that's also not the entire
truth of sort of, who she is.
439
00:24:51,900 --> 00:24:55,000
She's absolutely calculating,
she's had to make some pretty ruthless business
440
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,300
decisions in her life.
441
00:24:56,300 --> 00:24:58,100
- [reporter] Kim, Kim,
Kim, Kim... - [Zan] And she's made them.
442
00:25:13,100 --> 00:25:16,000
{\an8}[Emily] Via social media,
Kanye reveals that Kim
443
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,840
{\an8}and Kris are trying
to lock him up
444
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,840
{\an8}and 51/50 him again.
445
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,300
{\an8}Not as for his own safety,
or for his protection, but...
446
00:25:23,300 --> 00:25:25,840
control him and silence him
447
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,000
and lock him up
in a way that keeps their brand safe.
448
00:25:31,570 --> 00:25:35,170
[Zan] One of Kanye's big
claims has been much talk about how much of a role
449
00:25:35,170 --> 00:25:36,300
Kris plays in the family.
450
00:25:36,300 --> 00:25:38,470
And to accuse her of kind of
puppeteering things.
451
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,070
{\an8}He's very clear that he
feels that Kris is sort of controlling everyone
452
00:25:44,070 --> 00:25:44,940
{\an8}in the family
453
00:25:44,940 --> 00:25:46,540
{\an8}and making problems for him.
454
00:25:57,570 --> 00:26:00,100
[Emily] According
to sources, what seemed to be kind of a final straw
455
00:26:00,100 --> 00:26:01,370
in their relationship
456
00:26:01,370 --> 00:26:04,740
was Kanye's rally
in South Carolina.
457
00:26:04,740 --> 00:26:08,200
[Larry] The sense you got
was that the rope was being sawed off
458
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,900
{\an8}from the good ship Kardashian
and he was being pushed out on a lifeboat.
459
00:26:14,270 --> 00:26:18,470
[Zan] In terms of the public
brand, Kim and Kris knew they had to cut Kanye loose.
460
00:26:29,070 --> 00:26:30,570
[Larry] They have
to hire lawyers.
461
00:26:31,170 --> 00:26:32,700
Who's your money
gonna be on?
462
00:26:32,700 --> 00:26:35,070
Hmm, Kardashian,
where do I know that name from?
463
00:26:36,670 --> 00:26:39,940
The Dream Team.
Her late father, Robert Kardashian,
464
00:26:39,940 --> 00:26:46,100
was on OJ Simpson's defense
team. So many, many, many lawyers are a phone call away
465
00:26:46,100 --> 00:26:48,670
in hiring and working
for the Kardashians.
466
00:26:52,900 --> 00:26:56,840
[Neama] Kim retained
Laura Wasser who had represented her
467
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,470
during her second divorce
468
00:26:58,470 --> 00:27:00,900
and who had represented
her mother Kris.
469
00:27:03,270 --> 00:27:04,570
[reporters] Yeezy, Yeezy.
470
00:27:04,570 --> 00:27:07,440
[Neama] Kanye may be a rich
and powerful artist,
471
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:12,000
{\an8}but he's never dealt
with something as powerful as the Kardashian
472
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:12,900
{\an8}legal machine.
473
00:27:16,270 --> 00:27:19,470
[Larry] And when you hire
someone like Laura Wasser, you hire them because
474
00:27:19,470 --> 00:27:22,000
they're matrimonial
warfare generals.
475
00:27:24,670 --> 00:27:27,700
{\an8}[Emily] Over the course
of this divorce, Kanye seemed to run through
476
00:27:27,700 --> 00:27:29,700
{\an8}ten lawyers, maybe more.
477
00:27:30,940 --> 00:27:33,670
Seemed like every day
he had new representation.
478
00:27:33,670 --> 00:27:36,900
I think he expected
his lawyers to somehow change her mind
479
00:27:36,900 --> 00:27:39,100
or make his marriage
solid again.
480
00:27:39,100 --> 00:27:40,740
And that just never
seemed to be the case.
481
00:27:44,300 --> 00:27:45,200
[cell phone ringing]
482
00:27:48,940 --> 00:27:53,740
Kanye has to look out
of state and he hires Robert Cohen from New York,
483
00:27:53,740 --> 00:27:57,900
who famously represented
Melinda Gates in her very expensive divorce
484
00:27:57,900 --> 00:27:59,370
from Bill Gates.
485
00:27:59,370 --> 00:28:05,740
Sure, he can be asking
to delay it one day from Monday to Tuesday,
486
00:28:05,740 --> 00:28:08,200
which I think we would
say no to.
487
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,300
I do represent people
who've reached the highest level.
488
00:28:12,300 --> 00:28:16,940
{\an8}Curiously, divorce is one
of the most important things they're gonna go to,
489
00:28:16,940 --> 00:28:19,570
{\an8}I mean, I tell them right
up front. In a lot of cases,
490
00:28:19,570 --> 00:28:22,370
{\an8}this may be the biggest
deal that they're ever going to go through.
491
00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:30,000
[Neama] Because Cohen
was an out-of-state lawyer, he had to hire
492
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,840
a local California attorney
to assist on the case.
493
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,800
And that lawyer
was Nick Salick.
494
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,200
[Nick] Julianna,
what's Ye's new deposition date?
495
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,670
Okay, well, actually
I just updated the file.
496
00:28:42,900 --> 00:28:45,070
So, his deposition is set
for November 10th.
497
00:28:45,070 --> 00:28:45,940
That's perfect.
498
00:28:50,570 --> 00:28:54,000
My reputation as a family
law attorney is, to some extent,
499
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,200
is being that attorney
who comes in on the 90-yard line.
500
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,940
{\an8}I pick up the ball,
and I carry it into the end zone.
501
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:07,540
Robert Cohen's involvement
was to be the face of the divorce case.
502
00:29:08,900 --> 00:29:12,670
where you're dealing
with Kim Kardashian and Laura Wasser.
503
00:29:12,670 --> 00:29:16,800
Frankly, I felt a little
relieved when Bob Cohen came onto the case.
504
00:29:21,470 --> 00:29:25,640
I had learned through
the media articles as well as just the demeanor
505
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:30,000
of the litigation that Ye
didn't want to get divorced from Kim.
506
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,570
And that he actually wanted
to save the marriage.
507
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,800
[reporters clamoring]
508
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,200
[August] This was not a guy
that was going to take
509
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,070
the end of his marriage
lying down.
510
00:29:42,570 --> 00:29:45,270
{\an8}Kanye had always been
really skilled at using the media
511
00:29:45,270 --> 00:29:48,370
{\an8}to advance the narrative,
that he's kind of pushing at.
512
00:29:48,370 --> 00:29:51,640
{\an8}And at this moment in time,
it was to win back Kim.
513
00:30:00,740 --> 00:30:03,570
Kanye did everything in his
power to get her back
514
00:30:03,570 --> 00:30:06,640
{\an8}in the most spectacular
public fashions possible.
515
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,000
Whatever that man wants to do,
he's gonna be put his soul in it.
516
00:30:18,570 --> 00:30:21,370
{\an8}♪ He's done miracles on me ♪
517
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:27,370
{\an8}♪ He's done miracles on me ♪
518
00:30:27,370 --> 00:30:30,840
{\an8}[Emily] There was actually
a brief period where Kim was kind of playing along.
519
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,000
{\an8}He was doing these
Donda concerts.
520
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,440
{\an8}She even came to the last
show and appeared in a wedding dress
521
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,800
{\an8}[Natalie] Kim agreeing
to dress up in this, like, bridal outfit
522
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,370
at the Donda concert.
523
00:30:44,370 --> 00:30:47,470
{\an8}Doing almost like a wedding
vow ceremony with Kanye
524
00:30:47,470 --> 00:30:49,940
probably sent a lot of mixed
messages to him.
525
00:30:52,470 --> 00:30:56,840
[Albe] People ask me all
the time, like, "Why doesn't he just forget about it?
526
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,100
He can have any woman
in the world."
527
00:31:01,670 --> 00:31:04,700
I've seen a lot of men
give up.
528
00:31:04,700 --> 00:31:08,370
And when you
see a man fighting for his marriage,
529
00:31:08,370 --> 00:31:10,000
that can be very
inspirational.
530
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,570
[Zan] So, there was some
sense of like, "Oh, maybe
531
00:31:18,570 --> 00:31:19,800
this was all just
a media spectacle
532
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,370
and they're gonna
get back together."
533
00:31:22,940 --> 00:31:25,200
Kim and Kanye were
sort of in a good period
534
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:26,470
around when she
did SNL, right?
535
00:31:38,300 --> 00:31:41,300
{\an8}I married the best rapper
of all time.
536
00:31:41,300 --> 00:31:42,900
{\an8}[crowd cheering]
537
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,000
{\an8}Yeah.
538
00:31:46,470 --> 00:31:50,000
{\an8}Not only that,
he's the richest Black man in America.
539
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,200
{\an8}A talented, legit genius
who gave me four incredible kids.
540
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,200
{\an8}[crowd cheering]
541
00:31:58,170 --> 00:32:02,170
{\an8}So, when I divorced him,
you have to know it came down to just one thing,
542
00:32:02,170 --> 00:32:03,540
{\an8}his personality.
543
00:32:03,540 --> 00:32:04,900
{\an8}[crowd laughs]
544
00:32:04,900 --> 00:32:07,200
{\an8}[reporters clamoring]
545
00:32:09,470 --> 00:32:11,300
[Zan] He actually was
in the audience.
546
00:32:11,300 --> 00:32:15,000
And apparently when she
said, you know, "I divorced him because his personality,"
547
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,440
Kanye stormed out.
548
00:32:19,940 --> 00:32:24,840
To see his now ex-wife on TV
just poking jabs at it,
549
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:29,370
he kinda was like,
"Okay, what's going on? Am I a joke to you?
550
00:32:29,370 --> 00:32:32,270
And was our marriage
just a joke?"
551
00:32:37,270 --> 00:32:40,570
[Larry] This was a man who
was in the midst of some serious mental issues.
552
00:32:40,570 --> 00:32:43,440
He probably didn't want
to get divorced and in his most lucid moments,
553
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:48,370
probably realized, "If I get
divorced, I'm really losing the last thing that I need."
554
00:33:00,470 --> 00:33:04,200
{\an8}Kim met Pete Davidson
on the set of SNL when she was hosting.
555
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,100
He's a notorious sort of
bad boy and ladies' man.
556
00:33:07,100 --> 00:33:09,940
He's dated a lot of very
famous and beautiful women.
557
00:33:09,940 --> 00:33:13,770
{\an8}Kanye was concerned about
how he influenced Kim, how he is around the kids
558
00:33:13,770 --> 00:33:16,800
{\an8}because Pete Davidson
does have a history with drugs.
559
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,840
[August] Kanye, you know,
famous, unfiltered truth teller, has never been shy
560
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,940
about using the media
to advance his narratives.
561
00:33:25,940 --> 00:33:30,740
Thus begins an incredibly
vicious, pointed social media war of words
562
00:33:30,740 --> 00:33:34,570
that spilled out over
every tablet and podcast in the world.
563
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:43,270
{\an8}The day, I had Sunday service,
my kids were supposed to be there.
564
00:33:43,270 --> 00:33:45,840
{\an8}And my kids were nowhere
to be found.
565
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,570
{\an8}And I text Kim and said,
"Where are my kids?"
566
00:33:49,570 --> 00:33:52,040
{\an8}We get into an argument.
567
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:56,670
{\an8}And then I get a text
from a number I don't know.
568
00:33:56,670 --> 00:34:01,370
{\an8}And it's Pete Davidson
bragging about being in bed with my wife.
569
00:34:07,300 --> 00:34:11,540
{\an8}[Emily] Kanye was very
provoked by Pete Davidson.
570
00:34:11,540 --> 00:34:15,200
[August] Pete Davidson
is goading Kanye in a very public, almost global way.
571
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,040
It's infantile or juvenile.
572
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,400
[reporters clamoring]
573
00:34:22,900 --> 00:34:28,770
The beef between
Pete Davidson aka Skete, and Kanye was so blown
574
00:34:28,770 --> 00:34:29,800
out of proportion.
575
00:34:31,270 --> 00:34:35,370
{\an8}You can really see that
when a Black man says anything,
576
00:34:35,370 --> 00:34:38,000
{\an8}it's automatic
danger and panic.
577
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:42,300
Because I don't think that
once he actually threatened Pete's life.
578
00:34:42,300 --> 00:34:47,040
He'll say what he wants
to say now, apologize later if he needs to.
579
00:34:59,470 --> 00:35:03,840
[August] Kim drops
the bombshell that she wants to be declared legally single,
580
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,400
even though the divorce
is still pending.
581
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,840
It's very unusual
for a divorce case to be bifurcated
582
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:11,940
or separated in two.
583
00:35:14,300 --> 00:35:18,370
{\an8}[Robert] Bifurcation means
that you can get a divorce early in the process
584
00:35:18,370 --> 00:35:22,200
{\an8}and not have to wait until
the money is split
585
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,900
{\an8}or issues of custody
are determined.
586
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,470
Some clients may not want
to bifurcate the divorce
587
00:35:29,470 --> 00:35:34,100
because bifurcating
the divorces early make it harder to settle cases.
588
00:35:35,940 --> 00:35:38,040
[Neama] Kanye objects
to the bifurcation.
589
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:43,840
{\an8}This tells me that Kanye
was desperate to keep this marriage together all costs.
590
00:35:46,300 --> 00:35:51,900
{\an8}What does it tell about
his character to fight for his marriage?
591
00:35:51,900 --> 00:35:55,200
{\an8}I thought that's what
we're supposed to all do.
592
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:59,400
I thought love is as normal
as breathing.
593
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,670
Are you sad that you're
no longer together, that you're divorced?
594
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:14,200
We'll always be together.
595
00:36:25,570 --> 00:36:28,840
[Neama] Divorce attorneys
want to avoid trial at all costs.
596
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,900
It airs their clients'
dirty laundry in a very public way.
597
00:36:32,900 --> 00:36:37,770
And you're dealing
with the risk of a judge doing something unpredictable.
598
00:36:42,300 --> 00:36:46,040
[Nick] Before I substituted
in on this case, a trial had already been set
599
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,200
for December 14, 2022.
600
00:36:50,170 --> 00:36:54,940
{\an8}As Ye's attorney, my goal
was to enter into a settlement agreement
601
00:36:54,940 --> 00:36:56,770
that Kanye was pleased with.
602
00:36:59,300 --> 00:37:03,200
The alternative is to go
to trial, which is very costly, it's unpredictable,
603
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:07,670
it's stressful, and ultimately
someone in a black robe is deciding
604
00:37:07,670 --> 00:37:10,740
what's going to be happening
with your kids and support.
605
00:37:10,740 --> 00:37:12,270
And It's completely
out of your hands.
606
00:37:12,270 --> 00:37:15,170
And so, that was to be
avoided at all costs.
607
00:37:19,270 --> 00:37:23,640
The biggest sticking point
and dispute in the case was the children.
608
00:37:27,740 --> 00:37:30,640
Both parties were seeking
joint custody.
609
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:35,800
There's two types of custody,
legal custody over important decisions
610
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:40,470
regarding the children
and physical custody where they actually reside.
611
00:37:44,170 --> 00:37:48,040
[Natalie] Kanye came
from a broken family, so part of him was just like
612
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,370
I've experienced a broken
home and divorce. I don't like it.

[reporters clamoring]
614
00:37:53,940 --> 00:37:57,640
[Robert] Joint custody
has really nothing to do with how much time
615
00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:58,840
you spend with the kids.
616
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,370
Custody means decision
making on important matters.
617
00:38:03,940 --> 00:38:09,270
[Nick] In this case, Ye
objected to the way that Kim was parenting the children.

When North West started
doing TikTok, Kanye was not happy about it.
628
00:38:40,670 --> 00:38:46,570
He made it very clear online
that he has told her mother Kim that their daughter
629

{\an8}is not to be on TikTok.

the outside and he doesn't have that influence.
635
00:39:11,270 --> 00:39:14,300
{\an8}So, what does he do?
He takes to social media to talk about it.

respect fathers and the idea of family,

{\an8}and media tries
to promote something.

00:39:22,470 --> 00:39:25,400
{\an8}I said I'm not allowing

with respect to children becomes 50-50.
643
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:39,900
Both parents
have a major say.

If something's happening
in plain sight and no one's there to comment on it,

00:39:56,670 --> 00:39:59,940
life could feel very
Twilight Zone-ish.

And like, no one sees
what's going on?

From Kanye's point of view,
It's like there's too many people have
652
00:40:20,740 --> 00:40:22,400
too many access to her.
653
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,200
She needs privacy.
She's just a child.
654
00:40:26,540 --> 00:40:30,370
[Emily] The way that he
thinks the Kardashians are controlling and locking
655
00:40:30,370 --> 00:40:32,900
down and manipulating him
apply to his children.
656
00:40:32,900 --> 00:40:34,670
I think that's his
worst nightmare.
657
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,100
[Zan] Kanye bought the house
across the street from her,
658
00:40:43,100 --> 00:40:45,900
extensively so he can
see the kids.
659
00:40:45,900 --> 00:40:50,200
He has been extremely
outspoken and very clear that he is not happy
660
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,570
about how any of this
is being handled.
661
00:40:52,570 --> 00:40:55,570
Anytime he was being
interviewed, he would find himself saying,
662
00:40:55,570 --> 00:40:57,300
like "No, no, it's more
complicated..."
663
00:40:58,940 --> 00:41:03,400
{\an8}My solace comes from seeing
my kids and getting a solid schedule,
664
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,000
{\an8}that's why I even got
the house, you know, they flipped it in...
665
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,900
{\an8}you know, the media like
there was something wrong with me getting a house
666
00:41:09,900 --> 00:41:11,400
{\an8}next to my kids.
667
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:15,300
{\an8}I've seen nothing to suggest
anything other than that Kanye West
668
00:41:15,300 --> 00:41:18,570
{\an8}still is devoted
to his children and loves them dearly.
669
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,540
[Nick] October of 2022,
there was no settlement.
670
00:41:29,540 --> 00:41:32,300
November of 2022,
there was no settlement.
671
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:39,270
Kanye is playing with fire.
If he takes the case all the way to trial,
672
00:41:39,270 --> 00:41:43,840
he could lose custody
of his children entirely.
673
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:47,740
[Nick] Wasser's team had been
keeping a consistent amount of pressure on our side
674
00:41:47,740 --> 00:41:50,300
with Ye's deposition
being set.
675
00:41:50,300 --> 00:41:54,000
We were going to basically,
if it went forward, get a preview as to what
676
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:55,670
he was going to say
at trial.
677
00:41:55,670 --> 00:41:58,540
But I did not want to be put
in that position.
678
00:41:58,540 --> 00:42:03,800
[Neama] This case reached
a stalemate when Kanye wouldn't sit for a deposition.
679
00:42:06,170 --> 00:42:10,900
[Nick] Putting him on
the stand and not knowing what he's gonna say,
680
00:42:10,900 --> 00:42:13,040
how he's gonna say it.
681
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,740
I've had clients like that
and they're certainly their own worst enemy.
682
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,270
As soon as Bob and I
were retained,
683
00:42:21,270 --> 00:42:23,770
it was clear that this case
was a race against time.
684
00:42:23,770 --> 00:42:26,470
Because we had this trial date
in two months.
685
00:42:26,470 --> 00:42:28,670
Therefore, I knew that
the clock was ticking.
686
00:42:28,670 --> 00:42:32,900
We had a very short period
of time to accomplish anything, frankly.
687
00:42:45,570 --> 00:42:48,770
[Larry] In the fall of 2022,
Kanye began speaking some
688
00:42:48,770 --> 00:42:51,310
very erratic conspiracy
theories.
689
00:42:51,310 --> 00:42:54,270
There are people
that are the head of the New World Order
690
00:42:54,270 --> 00:42:56,040
that are part of the CCP.
691
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,740
And are part of elite
Zionist Jews.
692
00:42:58,740 --> 00:43:01,370
There are people who
are involved in creating
693
00:43:01,370 --> 00:43:03,900
a fentanyl crisis
in America.
694
00:43:03,900 --> 00:43:06,570
{\an8}He was pretty explicit that
he had gone off his meds
695
00:43:06,570 --> 00:43:09,740
{\an8}and he did not like
their impact upon him.
696
00:43:09,740 --> 00:43:12,900
That they dulled what
he perceived as his creative genius.
697
00:43:14,940 --> 00:43:17,940
[Rwenshaun] When you look
at Kanye you can't separate,
698
00:43:17,940 --> 00:43:21,310
the man from
the mental health condition.
699
00:43:21,940 --> 00:43:23,570
It's a part of him.
700
00:43:23,570 --> 00:43:26,140
[reporters] Kanye! Kanye!
701
00:43:26,140 --> 00:43:28,270
[Rwenshaun] You think
about what could've been a precursor
702
00:43:28,270 --> 00:43:30,570
to his diagnosis was
him losing his mother.
703
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:33,840
Now, you're losing
your wife.
704
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:37,470
But then also, now
you're seeing your wife with someone else.
705
00:43:37,470 --> 00:43:39,940
{\an8}And everybody and their mama
got something to say about it.
706
00:43:39,940 --> 00:43:42,110
[reporter] Kanye!
707
00:43:42,110 --> 00:43:44,640
[August] This is
somebody with a lot of first-hand experience,
708
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,940
kinda seeing your family
disappear in a moment.
709
00:43:49,110 --> 00:43:51,270
[Emily] Kanye seems to be
very scared that he's gonna
710
00:43:51,270 --> 00:43:53,770
{\an8}lose his children
or lose access to them.
711
00:43:55,500 --> 00:43:58,570
[Larry] Trauma and stress
is bad for people undergoing
712
00:43:58,570 --> 00:44:00,500
mental health episodes.
713
00:44:00,500 --> 00:44:03,310
{\an8}And this, a divorce, can be
the greatest kind of stress.
714
00:44:03,310 --> 00:44:05,570
I mean, all of this
manifests itself on Twitter.
715
00:44:07,570 --> 00:44:09,210
[keyboard clacking]
716
00:44:25,770 --> 00:44:27,670
[news anchor] Kanye West's
Twitter and Instagram accounts
717
00:44:27,670 --> 00:44:28,740
{\an8}have been locked over what
718
00:44:28,740 --> 00:44:31,040
{\an8}many are
calling anti-Semitic posts.
719
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,570
{\an8}The rapper now known as Ye,
offended many
720
00:44:33,570 --> 00:44:35,140
{\an8}Twitter users on Saturday,
721
00:44:35,140 --> 00:44:37,370
{\an8}after he threatened
the Jewish community
722
00:44:37,370 --> 00:44:38,500
{\an8}in a late-night tweet.
723
00:44:41,210 --> 00:44:44,770
[Rwenshaun] I feel like
the media, again, they play it more so for clickbait,
724
00:44:44,770 --> 00:44:49,400
and understanding that they
can utilize whatever he does for capital gain.
725
00:44:51,940 --> 00:44:55,840
I don't know how you separate
his behavior from his illness.
726
00:44:57,310 --> 00:45:00,210
He has all the attention
that he got
727
00:45:00,210 --> 00:45:02,310
from being in the
Kardashian clan,
728
00:45:02,310 --> 00:45:06,040
and he has no support staff
and support family
729
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:07,140
looking out for him.
730
00:45:07,140 --> 00:45:08,640
It's kind of the
worst of both worlds right now.
731
00:45:10,310 --> 00:45:12,210
[Emily] There's absolutely
a lack of understanding
732
00:45:12,210 --> 00:45:15,270
about his condition
in the general media.
733
00:45:15,270 --> 00:45:17,500
But we don't want to like,
have to mitigate
734
00:45:17,500 --> 00:45:20,400
how we cover him
because of his mental health.
735
00:45:21,940 --> 00:45:23,840
[Natalie] Because he's not
filtered and because
736
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:25,770
he doesn't really know
how to edit himself,
737
00:45:25,770 --> 00:45:28,500
that's when he kinda
gets himself in trouble.
738
00:45:30,940 --> 00:45:33,270
[Kanye] I feel like I caused
hurt and confusion.
739
00:45:33,270 --> 00:45:35,740
And I'm sorry for the families
of the people
740
00:45:35,740 --> 00:45:39,400
that had nothing to do
with the trauma
741
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:40,770
that I had been through.
742
00:45:42,570 --> 00:45:44,310
[Emily] The ramifications
of what Kanye said
743
00:45:44,310 --> 00:45:47,210
were swift
and almost immediate.
744
00:45:47,210 --> 00:45:51,040
He seemed to lose
all of his brand partnerships almost overnight.
745
00:45:51,940 --> 00:45:53,570
Banks severed ties
with him.
746
00:45:53,570 --> 00:45:55,210
Sponsors severed
ties with him.
747
00:46:04,110 --> 00:46:07,570
[Neama] Because of Kanye's
anti-Semitic comments,
748
00:46:07,570 --> 00:46:09,870
Cohen has
to get off the case,
749
00:46:09,870 --> 00:46:11,900
because he is one
of the most prominent
750
00:46:11,900 --> 00:46:13,400
{\an8}Jewish lawyers in New York.
751
00:46:16,570 --> 00:46:19,310
[Robert] I had very close
relationships with many
752
00:46:19,310 --> 00:46:20,770
of my former clients.
753
00:46:21,900 --> 00:46:24,210
But sometimes,
a relationship breaks down
754
00:46:24,210 --> 00:46:25,900
{\an8}and I can no longer
be their lawyer.
755
00:46:30,310 --> 00:46:32,500
[Neama] When Cohen
gets off the case,
756
00:46:32,500 --> 00:46:35,740
Salick is left
to handle it by himself
757
00:46:35,740 --> 00:46:38,310
against the Wasser
legal machine.
758
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,500
[Nick] He doesn't know that
I was born and raised Jewish.
759
00:46:44,270 --> 00:46:46,210
And so, he never
found that out.
760
00:46:47,310 --> 00:46:49,900
{\an8}It's extremely
offensive, et cetera,
761
00:46:49,900 --> 00:46:52,740
{\an8}Um, to hear those types
of comments,
762
00:46:52,740 --> 00:46:55,140
{\an8}uh, come from a client.
763
00:46:57,140 --> 00:47:00,140
On the other hand, the case
needed to be finished.
764
00:47:01,010 --> 00:47:03,640
And so, someone
had to do it.
765
00:47:14,570 --> 00:47:16,370
The trial day was still
in calendar.
766
00:47:16,370 --> 00:47:19,370
And I believe the next day was
the day for Ye's deposition.
767
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:23,500
So, the pressure was on,
to get it settled on.
768
00:47:33,570 --> 00:47:36,370
The fall of 2022 cost
Kanye West
769
00:47:36,370 --> 00:47:38,310
every single thing
that was left in his life.
770
00:47:38,310 --> 00:47:39,900
They calling me.
771
00:47:39,900 --> 00:47:44,140
[August] It cost his
reputation in a way that he had never lost it before.
772
00:47:45,940 --> 00:47:48,840
And I think it cost his
ability to make money
773
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,570
in any real capacity
from here on out.
774
00:47:53,500 --> 00:47:55,500
[Kanye] Somehow,
Adidas was able to
775
00:47:55,500 --> 00:47:58,210
legally go in
and freeze my money.
776
00:47:58,210 --> 00:47:59,940
And when I see this, I think,
777
00:47:59,940 --> 00:48:02,870
"Well if this could happen
to me, this could happen to other Americans."
778
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:04,870
And for what?
779
00:48:05,870 --> 00:48:07,140
For expressing yourself.
780
00:48:07,140 --> 00:48:08,470
For expressing frustration.
781
00:48:11,770 --> 00:48:15,770
[Rwenshaun] My immediate
reaction from what I saw via the media was...
782
00:48:16,770 --> 00:48:18,470
he's spiraling.
783
00:48:18,470 --> 00:48:21,570
And I was wondering like,
where is his people?
784
00:48:23,940 --> 00:48:25,470
Where is his support?
785
00:48:25,470 --> 00:48:26,310
[reporters clamoring]
786
00:48:31,940 --> 00:48:34,470
[Larry] You have to imagine
that the people around Kanye,
787
00:48:35,110 --> 00:48:37,210
either have no influence
788
00:48:37,210 --> 00:48:40,310
or it's a very thin
cadre of people.
789
00:48:40,310 --> 00:48:42,310
And there aren't a real
team around him.
790
00:48:46,310 --> 00:48:51,010
[Neama] No one has fallen
so far, so fast as Kanye West,
791
00:48:51,010 --> 00:48:53,400
in large part because
of this divorce
792
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,210
and how he responded
during the course of the case.
793
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,310
[Larry] You got the sense that
he didn't want it to happen,
794
00:49:03,310 --> 00:49:07,310
because he knew and we knew
what was gonna come next.
795
00:49:07,310 --> 00:49:12,500
And that, the next several
months or years were gonna be dangerous.
796
00:49:12,500 --> 00:49:14,040
And I think that's
come to pass.
797
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,140
[August] Pretty much everybody
in Kanye West's
798
00:49:20,140 --> 00:49:22,400
personal and professional
life has abandoned him.
799
00:49:24,870 --> 00:49:28,270
In 2023, I'd say Kanye
is completely,
800
00:49:28,270 --> 00:49:29,500
utterly alone in the world.
801
00:49:31,110 --> 00:49:32,570
Alone and adrift.
802
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:39,670
[woman] She had to walk
through the fire,
803
00:49:39,670 --> 00:49:40,770
so that she could be free.
804
00:49:40,770 --> 00:49:44,140
[man] I could see
in her eyes
805
00:49:44,140 --> 00:49:48,670
how much pain this
woman is going through.
806
00:49:48,670 --> 00:49:51,210
[Zan] Something shows up
on Keeping Up with the Kardashians,
807
00:49:51,210 --> 00:49:52,400
it's a safe bet
808
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:54,570
that that's something that
they want us to see.
809
00:49:54,570 --> 00:49:58,400
{\an8}If people knew what my
relationship really was like,
810
00:49:58,400 --> 00:49:59,840
{\an8}I think they
would be like,
811
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:02,500
{\an8}- "How did this last
this long?" - Yeah.
812
00:50:02,500 --> 00:50:05,500
I think she was suffering
for years and years behind the scenes.
