Kim replied: ‘Yeah, but I had the best dad and I had the best memories and the greatest experience and that’s all I want for my kids. As long as they can have that, that’s what I would want for them, you know.  

‘So like if they don’t know things that are being said or what’s happening in the world like why would I ever bring that energy to them. You know, that’s like real heavy, heavy grown up s***. That they are not ready to, like, deal with.

‘And when they are we will have those conversations and I’ll be so prepared but until then I will do anything to keep their life as normal as possible.’

Kim said she will be prepared when her children do ask about Kanye’s public outbursts but for now she is remaining silent.

She said: ‘One day my kids will thank me for sitting here and not bashing their dad when I could,’ she told host Angie Martinez.
