Boy George in tears as he lashes out at Kim Kardashian for not speaking out against Kanye

Boy George has called out Kim Kardashian for not speaking up against her ex-husband Kanye West after his latest string of controversies, which include a series of anti-semitic remarks.

The rapper has been condemned by fans for sharing offensive statements regarding the Jewish community including a shocking tweet where he wished 'death con 3 on Jewish people.'

His controversial views have caused Adidas, who manufacture his clothing brand Yeezy, to face calls of action suggesting they drop the deal that can make over $1.5 billion annually. This would follow the steps taken by fashion label Balenciaga, who have parted ways with the Gold Digger star.

Singer Boy George, 61, has weighed in on the drama and called out spoken out against Kim Kardashian, who shares four children with the rapper, for not using her online presence to speak out about her controversial ex.

Taking to Instagram, a clearly emotional Boy George shared an emotional plea to the socialite.

He said: "I'm kind of appalled that not more artists have come out and spoke against what he's saying.

"I'm appalled that Kim Kardashian hasn't come out and added her voice to this debate, because this woman has children with Kanye, so she must understand as a mother what it feels like for little Jewish children to hear these f***ing comments, how demoralising and terrifying it must be."

As he got choked up, he carried on, saying: "As a gay man I have experienced years of prejudice, you know, so the idea of doing that to someone else based on their race or their colour or their sexuality or their gender is just f***ing appalling to me, and it should be appalling to you."

Kim and Kanye have been publicly reported to not be in contact with each other at this point in time, with them instead choosing to co-parenting through representatives.

It has also been said Kim is now refusing to take Kanye's calls after he has made a series of digs at her and her famous family on social media.

In an explosive interview with Piers Morgan, the rapped has vowed that he will 'love and protect' Kim 'for life'.

He even suggested that he and his ex-wife could get back together at some point.

They began daring in 2011, welcoming daughter North in 2013 before tying the knot in 2014 – they have since welcomed three more children; Saint, Chicago and Psalm.

It was last year in January that the couple ended things and the following month the socialite had officially filed for divorce.

Kim was declared singled in March earlier this year.
