“@taylorswift has chosen to reignite an old exchange – that at this point feels very self-serving given the suffering millions of real victims are facing right now,” Kardashian tweeted, mentioning the recurring risk of the COVID-19 pandemic. “I didn’t feel the need to comment a few days ago, and I’m embarrassed and mortified to be doing it right now, but because she continues to speak on it, I feel I’m left without a choice because she is lying.”
From there, Kardashian took place to describe the most significant trouble she had with the entire experience. “To be clear, the only issue I ever had around the situation was that Taylor lied through her publicist who stated that ‘Kanye never called to ask for permission…’ They spoke so I let you all see that,” she said. She likewise stated that she never “denied the word ‘bitch’ was utilized without [Swift’s] consent.”

The KKW Beauty magnate proceeded her social networks tirade by implicating Swift of altering the entire story of the discussion. “She manipulated the truth of their actual conversation in her statement when her team said she ‘declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message,'” Kardashian wrote. “The lie was never about the word “bitch”, and it was always whether there was a call or not, and the tone of the conversation.”
In enhancement to defending her hubby, Kardashian utilized this possibility to protect herself too of the accusations that she modified the video of the call that she shared on Snapchat in 2016. “I never edited the footage (another lie),” she wrote. “I only posted a few clips on Snapchat to make my point, and the full video that recently leaked doesn’t change the narrative.”

For her last factor, Kardashian stated that West “has every right to document his musical journey and process,” similar to Swift performed in her current Netflix docudrama, Miss Americana. “Kanye has documented the making of all of his albums for his archive,” she stated. “The call between the two of them would have remained private or would have gone in the trash had she not lied & forced me to defend him.”
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians celebrity finished her declaration by asking forgiveness to her fans. “This will be the last time I speak on this because, honestly, nobody cares,” she created. “Sorry to bore you all with this. I know you are all dealing with more serious and important matters.”
But will this be the last time Kardashian talks on this? Those that’ve been adhering to the dramatization appear skeptical. Especially given that Swift’s press agent, Tree Paine, required to her very own individual Twitter account to react to West’s prolonged declaration. “I’m Taylor’s publicist, and this is my UNEDITED original statement,” Paine tweeted. “Btw, when you take parts out, that’s editing. P.S. who did you guys piss off to leak that video?”.
I’m Taylor’s publicist and this is my UNEDITED original statement. Btw, when you take parts out, that’s editing.

Swift, for her part, resolved the resurfaced contact Instagram on March 23 by insisting that she told the truth. Yet, likewise, that time would certainly be much better invested contributing to charities like Feeding America, which she connected bent on. “Instead of answering those who are asking about how I feel about the video footage that leaked, proving that I was telling the truth the whole time about *that call* (you know, the one that was illegally recorded, that somebody edited and manipulated to frame me and put me, my family, and fans through hell for four years)… SWIPE UP to see what matters.”
If you’re asking yourself just how every one of this resurfaced 2016 drama will undoubtedly remain to play out, we’re right there with you. But with 2016 being an entire four years earlier, maybe it’s time to proceed…
