Kim Kardashian slams ex Kanye's 'hurtful' meme about Pete Davidson split

Kim Kardashian has reportedly slammed ex-husband Kanye West for posting a 'hurtful' meme about her recent split from comedian Pete Davidson.

Pete, 28, and Kim, 41, split up after nine months of dating.

After the news broke, Kanye, 45, took to his Instagram page, where he posted a photo of a fake New York Times newspaper with the headline: "Skete Davidson dead at age 28".

A source has now told MailOnline that Kim is furious with Kanye's behaviour and is demanding he take the post down.

They said: "Kim won't stand for this. She is demanding that Kanye take the post down, but he won't.

"She has been vigorously defending Pete. She'll never get back together with Kanye over the way he's treated the people she loves and respects.

"She has tried incredibly hard to have a good co-parenting situation for the children.

"She won't stand for this type of behaviour from him."

Kim and Pete reportedly split due to long distance and a constant clash of schedules, with Kim based in Los Angeles while Pete is busy filming in Australia.

While it's speculated the split was down to their 13-year age gap, the same source quickly denied reports it was because of Pete's immaturity.

They added: "Kim and Kanye's divorce is still moving ahead. She thinks that people should not be ok with this post – and Instagram should not allow this type of harassment.

"Kim has been very sad about the breakup with Pete – it's not where she thought it would be, and that's been hard for her.

"The distance and schedules weighed into their decision, but they do love and respect each other.

"She will always care for him and have his back."

Kim and Kanye have four children together: North, nine, Saint, six, Chicago, four and Psalm, three.

They have been co-parenting since January 2021, when she filed for divorce from the rapper.

Since reports first emerged linking Kim with Pete in October 2021, Kanye has made his dislike of the pairing very clear online.

He posted several memes about Kim's relationship with Pete, including a bizarre music video where Pete can be seen as being buried alive.

He's even been outspoken about Kim's parenting, criticising her for allowing their daughter North to use TikTok.

Kanye's outbursts on social media saw him being slapped with a ban on Instagram for 24 hours in March after a post violated the hate speech, bullying and harassment guidelines.
