Kim Kardashian's Heartbreaking Plea: 'Your Personality Was Not Like This a Few Years Ago!'

Kim Kardashian broke down in tears as she pleaded with her husband Kanye West: 'your personality was not like this a few years ago!' in an explosive documentary trailer about the controversial rapper

KIM KARDASHIAN BREAKS DOWN IN TEARS AS KANYE WEST REVEALS SHOCKING MENTAL HEALTH STRUGGLES

In a jaw-dropping trailer for the upcoming documentary "In Whose Name?", Kim Kardashian is seen getting emotional as she pleads with her ex-husband Kanye West to return to his medication for his bipolar disorder. The explosive footage, released on YouTube yesterday, gives an unfiltered glimpse into the private and public life of one of the most polarizing figures in modern culture.

The trailer teases a heated argument between Kim, 44, and Kanye, now known as Ye, which took place during their marriage from 2014 to 2022. As they sit on a couch together, facing each other, Kim's voice cracks with emotion as she says: "Your personality was not like this a few years ago!" The camera captures the tension between them, and it's clear that things were getting out of hand.

But what's even more disturbing is Kanye's admission that he stopped taking his medication for his bipolar disorder five months prior. "I'm off my meds," he says matter-of-factly, as if it's no big deal. When Kim tries to interject, he interrupts her: "'It ain't no but.'" The trailer cuts to a clip of Kanye holding up a sign that reads "YE4PRESIDENT" – a clear indication of his declining mental state.

But what's truly shocking is when Kanye reveals that he'd rather be dead than on medication. "Either they destroy me or I destroy it," he says, as if he's weighing the pros and cons of life itself. The trailer cuts to a clip of Kim's voice, shaking with emotion, saying: "It's a sad dream."

Throughout the trailer, Kanye's erratic behavior is on full display. He yells: "I almost killed my daughter." Yes, you read that right – he claims to have had thoughts of harming their eldest child, North West. The trailer also shows clips of his bizarre Easter Sunday Service performance at Coachella in 2019, where he appeared to be crying as Chance the Rapper consoled him.

In the beginning of the trailer, which debuted on YouTube on Wednesday, showed a tense moment between Kardashian and West, who now goes by Ye, when they were still married

But what's even more disturbing is Kanye's newfound diagnosis: autism. According to a recent interview with the 45-year-old rapper, he claims that he was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder and has since been told that he's autistic. However, experts have pointed out that being diagnosed with autism doesn't mean that someone is exempt from mental health struggles.

The trailer for "In Whose Name?" also shows clips of Kanye's inner circle, including Kim, who looks visibly shaken as she tries to reason with him. But what's clear is that things were getting out of hand. As the documentary explores the complexities of Kanye's life and legacy, one thing becomes abundantly clear: the line between creative genius and self-destruction is thin indeed.

Directed by Nico Ballesteros, who started working as an intern for West at age 18 and filmed him over six years, the documentary promises to be a wild ride. Featuring appearances from Kim Kardashian and other influential figures in Kanye's inner circle, "In Whose Name?" will premiere on September 19 in thousands of AMC Theaters.

The theme of the trailer followed West as he stopped taking medication for bipolar disorder and as the then-couple's relationship deteriorated

A LOOK INTO KANYE WEST'S SHOCKING MENTAL HEALTH STRUGGLES

As the trailer for "In Whose Name?" drops, fans can't help but wonder what went wrong. Was it Kanye's diagnosis with bipolar disorder? Or was it something more? One thing is clear: the rapper has been open about his struggles with mental health in recent years.

But what's new is Kanye's claim that he's autistic. According to a recent interview, West says that he was misdiagnosed and has since been told that he's on the autism spectrum. However, experts have pointed out that being diagnosed with autism doesn't mean that someone is exempt from mental health struggles.

Though Kardashian was in the trailer, her appearances were brief. Throughout the trailer, however, the Grammy-winning musician featured his young children continuously

In fact, research suggests that people with autism are more likely to experience anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. So what does it mean for Kanye? Does his diagnosis change everything we thought we knew about the rapper's behavior?

The truth is, we don't know yet. But one thing is clear: "In Whose Name?" promises to be a wild ride. With its unfiltered look into Kanye West's private and public life, the documentary will leave viewers questioning everything they thought they knew about the 45-year-old rapper.
