Kim Kardashian was criticized after Taylor Swift said she was depressed because of their scandal in 2016.

On Kim Kardashian’s social network account, fans continuously commented on the snake icon, angry about the incident seven years ago, writing: “Please apologize to Taylor”, “What you did affected Taylor’s spirit.” heavy. Your words and actions have consequences, fix it then you will be respected.”

The singer’s fans were upset after Time published an article honoring her as Person of the Year on December 6. In it, Taylor talks about a dark time: “My career was taken away from me. I had never been so depressed. I moved to another country, didn’t leave my rented house for a year, I’m afraid to talk on the phone. I stay away from most people because I no longer trust anyone.”

Taylor added that after many years, she learned the lesson: “There’s no point in trying to defeat the enemy. Garbage always eliminates itself.”

The incident that caused Taylor to collapse involved Kanye West and Kim Kardashian – the rapper’s wife at that time. In the song Famous (2016), Kanye wrote: “I feel like me and Taylor could have sex. Why? Because I made that bitch famous.” The rapper said Taylor agreed with the lyrics but she denied it.

After that, Kim released a video of a 25-minute conversation between the two artists. In the video, the rapper discusses the lyrics with Taylor but does not mention the phrase “bitch”. She was happy to hear the verse and thought it was not offensive, saying Kanye should send the finished song for consideration. The lyrics about her in Famous when released were different from the content the two discussed, making Taylor frustrated.

The singer said Kim illegally recorded the conversation. In California, it is illegal to record or eavesdrop without the consent of the participants in a conversation. According to Taylor, the recording was edited and staged by Kim, turning her into a liar. After the incident, for a while the media and audiences criticized Taylor as a snake, implying a sinister personality.

According to Rolling Stone in September 2019, Kanye and his wife lived a double life with the singer, always pleasing her when they met in private but then saying bad things in public. The same year, on the show Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Kim said she had gotten over the scandal and no longer hated Taylor. Three years later, the businessman said he loved the singer’s music: “I like a lot of her songs. They’re all cute and attractive.”
