Kim Kardashian appeared to respond to her ex-husband Ye’s — formerly known as Kanye West — Antisemitic rants on social media. 

“Hate speech is never OK or excusable,” Kardashian wrote on Twitter Monday. “I stand together with the Jewish community and call on the terrible violence and hateful rhetoric towards them to come to an immediate end.”

Her comments come more than two weeks after Ye was locked out of his Twitter account. A Twitter spokesperson told Buzzfeed News on October 9 that Ye’s account had been locked “due to a violation of Twitter’s policies.”

Ye had shared Antisemitic tweets on October 8.

“I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE,” Ye tweeted. He then defended himself by saying he can’t be Antisemitic because “black people are actually Jew also.”

Ye had posted on the platform after Instagram banned the rapper for repeated violations of its terms, Meta told Insider.
