Great piece Emilie! I love your writing. I discovered you thru HIH yrs back. Once a loyal fan of hers, I cancelled my subscription there and now read your stuff- it’s what I’m interested in. Your words are captivating! Thx for all your hard work 🩷

Great piece! Love having a thorough update. I’m so curious about Bianca. Like what’s her personality like? Was it true love or is she a handler? And I, too, was always wondering how she doesn’t get cold. lol. I have to wear a jacket even when it’s 70 degrees!

I’m wondering if her family members all signed NDAs? I’d have thought that someone in her circle might have gone public about concerns for her welfare during some of these shenanigans.

Impressive work Green Girl. Good use of personal contacts in the circle and combined with exclusive photography - this looks to be quite a magazine brewing. Bringing a nintendo switch in his bag made me remember that Mario quote he spouted off that one time in an argument and is pretty funny. I noticed he recently upgraded to a Steam deck too which basically looks like a Switch but is a gaming laptop. He had it in the akademiks interview. The way Japan has been healing for Ye definitely makes me want to visit soon. Kim never came back and is doing him dirty these days.. I hope this plays out better for him in the end.

Wow Emilie. This is truly brilliant. I’m sorry for all the shit you’ve been through lately, but even the ugliest catalysts can birth beauty and this article is so fucking good! You are so real and I’m grateful to be here.

That’s what I’ve wondered. Kanye has moments that seem to be sheer insanity and yet Candace Owens is friends with him and she seems very rooted and intelligent so it makes me question my own perception of him.

Your writing leaves me hanging on every word. Your intelligence shines through in a way that is missing everywhere else. I look forward to everything you put out for that exact reason to the point that it doesn’t even matter if I’m interested in the subject matter at first, I damn sure am by the end of the piece. Kudos once again - you nailed it🥳👑

Anyone with knowledge of kink could see that Ye and Bianca were acting out a Dom/sub relationship for the public. I’m not sure if it was performance art or just him living out his porn addiction in real life but that’s clearly what was going on even though no one was saying it. Bianca seemed to disappear after the naked Grammys incident so I wonder if he finally pushed her too far. In that type of relationship there has to be an equal power dynamic but with Ye’s wealth and influence that was nearly impossible to have. Like your piece said: he likes to control every aspect of his environment.

This man is broken, probably by whatever Harley Pasternak and Co. did to him when they sectioned him before.

I’m not a huge fan of using scripture in relation to Ye’s behaviour. God is not calling Ye to mania. Psychotic rants, racial drama, putting pornography out there - this is NOT something God would ask a person to do. He will never stop loving Ye. But this ain’t what it looks like to walk in line with what God has for you.

Have you had time to look into the Lou Taylor connections all around Kanye? One of his friends that was around in 2022 and at Paris fashion show is married to a former Lou Taylor employee. I’ve had some contact with Ye’s friend but curious if that is an angle that you have found any value in or explored?
