Kim Kardashian has revealed that she has banned her eldest daughter North West from watching television to protect her from her father Kanye West 's antics.
Rapper Kanye, 45, has frequently hit the headlines for his string of offensive and erratic tweets while also publicly taking aim Kim following their divorce last year.
And in the latest episode of The Kardashians' third season, 42 year old Kim was emotional as she spoke to her mother, Kris Jenner, about the extreme lengths she has to go to shield her nine year old from knowing what her father was up to.
Kim's admission came when Kris told her: "Imagine trying to explain this to a nine-year-old, North, who I'm sure is hearing something and maybe she won't say it. And that's what breaks my heart."
Kimr responded: "She actually doesn't know, and that's what's so crazy is like when stuff is said, it's a chain to my whole household. No TV, only Apple TV.
"I can't risk an Access Hollywood 'coming up next' or anything on the news coming up next about what their dad mentioned, and they want to watch."
Kim tearfully added: "I have to figure out a way to, like, protect, and so they still haven't seen anything, but I go into crisis mode."
In a video confessional, she added: "I am the one being accused for so many things and blamed for so many things, and it really, really is hurtful, and it sucks, but I can control how I react, and I can control if I'm a mess then my kids will see that."
In her conversation with her mother Kris, the lawyer-in-training also said she needed Kanye "to hit rock bottom" alone and did not want to act as his "clean-up crew" again whenever he acted out.
"Sometimes I feel like if he were to hit rock bottom, that's his journey that he needs to figure out on his own," Kim admitted.
The SKIMS founder said she felt "so overwhelmed" by the situation and was scared she would be "stuck with this for the rest of my life".
"I used to run around and call everyone behind his back and be like, 'It's gonna be OK. It's gonna be OK. Just give him another chance'. I used to spend hours and hours and hours of my days as the clean-up crew," she told her mother.
Kanye and Kim share four children together - North, nine, Saint, seven, Chicago, five, and Psalm, four.
The Gold Digger rapper is now married to 28 year old Austalian native Bianca Censori.
