That's the nature of discussing people we only "know" through interviews and soundbytes.

With someone as consistently outspoken as Ye, this is the bed he's made. It's also, I think, the bed his die hard fans have helped him into.

He's got legions of apologists who either make excuses for his antics or downplay it as some sort of "genius". His fans have helped fuel this particular fire.

Marrying the Kim K of all people only adds to the antics. Couple that with a grating personality it's not at all surprising that people not only react negatively to him, but it's perfectly fair to question the sincerity of dramatic occurrences within a family whose life is literally a television show.

I'll say that again: their life is literally a television show.

Most of us accept that "reality" tv is heavily scripted.
Why then is it unreasonable to question where the line moves from scripted reality to real life, or whether or not some of the real life aspects are being played up for dramatic effect?

Everything about his begs this kind of scrutiny.
