Kim Kardashian breaks silence on 'Jewish hate speech' after ex Kanye's anti-Semitic Tweet

Kim Kardashian has finally spoken out about Kanye West's anti-Semitic Tweet.

The Kardashians star hadn't referred to her ex-husband's controversial online activity until a message on her Instagram this evening.

Father-of-four Kanye, 45, shocked fans when he tweeted on October 9: "I'm a bit sleepy tonight, but when I wake up I'm going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE."

Rapper Ye has since apologised for the message, saying he was "hurt" at the time – but ex-wife Kim says hate speech is "never ok or excusable".

Kim, 42, took to her Stories this evening to show she 'stands together with the Jewish community' and calling for 'hateful rhetoric' to come to an 'immediate end'.

The famous family had previously not spoken out about Kanye's antics, however earlier this morning sister Khloe Tweeted: "I support my Jewish friends and the Jewish people."

Kim's sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, as well as momager Kris Jenner, later shared the same message on their Instagram stories.

"Hate speech is never ok or excusable. I stand together with the Jewish community and call on the terrible violence and hateful rhetoric towards them to come to an immediate end," Kim posted.

It comes after singer Boy George called on the Hollywood superstar to at least speak out about Kanye's offensive social media message.

Only yesterday 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."

In a bombshell interview with Piers Morgan, the TalkTV host quizzed Kanye on his anti-Semitic Tweet.

He was challenged by Piers repeatedly about his use of language, following which Kanye declared abruptly: “Interview adjourned. Love you,” before walking off.

After a few minutes of discussion, he eventually sat back down to continue the interview.

Because of his comments, Kanye was banned from social media sites Twitter and Instagram.

Meta, which owns Instagram, confirmed to The Mirror they had "deleted content from @kanyewest" for violating their policies. They also placed a restriction on his account.

He said: "I will say I'm sorry for the people I hurt with the 'death con', with the confusion, I feel like I caused hurt and confusion and I am sorry for the families of the people who had nothing to do with the trauma that I had been through.

"And that I used my platform where you say, I hurt people, and I was hurt."
