Kim Kardashian and Kanye West‘s relationship, marriage, and eventual divorce have been heavily documented over the years – but a new documentary, due to be released on September 19th, is showing some raw and footage from their relationship that has never been seen by the public before!
In the trailer for the upcoming documentary film In Whose Name? which dropped last week, the 44-year-old Skims founder can be seen breaking down in tears as she talks with her then-husband about his bipolar disorder, which he was reportedly diagnosed with in 2016.
Kim Kardashian Breaks Down In Tears In ‘In Whose Name?’ Trailer
In the emotional trailer, the Kardashians star – who shares daughters North, 12, and Chicago, 7, and sons Saint, 9, and Psalm, 6 with the 48-year-old Yeezy designer – cries as she tells him: “Your personality was not like this a few years ago.”
Although West was reportedly diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2016, he didn’t publicly acknowledge it until 2018. In later years, however, he suggested he had been misdiagnosed and actually has autism. At the start of the trailer, he boldly claims he has been off his medication for “five months now.”
Talking about his reluctance to take medication, the “Praise God” rapper says: “I would rather be dead than be on medication. Either they destroy me, or I destroy it.” He also adds: “They’re killing our ability to think outside the box!”

The Trailer Also Explores Ye's Controversial Run For President
The trailer doesn't shy away from Ye's headline-making moments, including his controversial run for president during the 2020 election (which he announced on Twitter on July 4th, 2020) as well as him breaking down in tears during one of his Sunday Service gatherings in 2019.
In another clip, the Skkn by Kim founder is seen trying to calm the "Eazy" rapper down after he shouts: "Never tell me I'm gonna wake up one day and have nothing!" Kim responds, "We can talk about that later, but…" before West cuts her off, yelling: "It ain't no but!"
Fan Comments
It should come as no surprise to learn that the internet had many reactions to the release of the trailer. Some fans worried the documentary could further harm West's mental health, while others praised him for being vulnerable and potentially helping others struggling with similar issues.
"Let this be the biggest call for help those out there need," wrote one fan in the comment section of the trailer on YouTube. "This might actually help people dealing with similar mental health issues. Let's see how this goes!" exclaimed a second, as a third echoed, "I'm so proud of Ye," followed by the red heart emoji.
Others had more mixed feelings. "My heart breaks for Kim," wrote a fourth fan, followed by a sad face, as a fifth said: "He needs therapy and nothing else. Especially not some movie about him."
"I don't see this ending well for him," predicted a sixth, adding: "He's clearly unwell and in need of the meds he's refusing to take. Needs to be in a hospital because he's hurting people. From his family to his racism to his antisemitism. Hurt hurt hurt." Others expressed excitement, with a seventh chiming in: "Kanye been speaking truth for a long time, can't wait for this documentary."
