Kanye West, who now goes by Ye, has been given a temporary suspension from Instagram due to his troubling behavior towards his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, and her new partner, comedian Pete Davidson. For a duration of 24 hours, he won’t be able to post, comment, or send direct messages on the platform—a penalty that feels insufficient given the severity of his actions.
The suspension was triggered after West used a racial slur against comedian Trevor Noah, who had commented on West’s patterns of harassment during a segment on The Daily Show. In his now-deleted post, West altered the lyrics of “Kumbaya” to include the offensive term. Meta, the parent company of Instagram, confirmed the suspension due to violations of their policies on hate speech and harassment, noting that further actions could be taken if necessary.
The Alarming Nature of Harassment
Noah highlighted the alarming nature of the situation, stating that it exemplifies how harassment often escalates after a breakup. He emphasized that, despite Kardashian’s wealth and status, what she is experiencing is a serious issue that affects many women facing similar situations.
Kardashian deserves the right to live her life free from harassment, yet the reality is that abusive behavior often increases post-separation. The statistics are grim, with a significant percentage of domestic violence fatalities occurring after a victim leaves their abuser. Unfortunately, there are few effective measures in place to protect individuals from toxic ex-partners, making it essential for society to address this issue more seriously.
The Limitations of a 24-Hour Ban
Ultimately, a mere 24-hour Instagram ban will not resolve the ongoing conflict between Kim and Kanye, nor does it adequately address the broader issue of harassment and emotional abuse. While Noah acknowledged West’s mental health struggles, he emphasized that this should not excuse his harmful behavior.
It’s clear that West requires professional help, but more importantly, he needs to stop his harmful actions. Kardashian, on the other hand, requires more substantial support than what a temporary social media suspension can provide.
