Reality star Kim Kardashian spoke about her husband Kanye West's corona infection this spring.
You have changed his bed linen with gloves and face protection.
"Kanye had it at the very beginning, when nobody really knew what was going on," Kardashian told Grazia magazine.
"It was so scary and unknown."
At the time, she was all alone with her four children, with no further help in the house, while her husband struggled with the virus.
"I had to come and change his sheets and help him get out of bed when he wasn't feeling well."
Kardashian, who became famous with the hit reality show "Keeping Up With The Kardashians", asked for indulgence and compassion for West this summer after he made some confused claims.
"Many of you know that Kanye has bipolar disorder," she wrote.
As recently as 2016, she had vehemently refused to speculate about his health, now she seemed genuinely concerned.
"Anyone who has it or has a loved one in their life who suffers from it knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand."
Anyone close to West knows that his words are not synonymous with his true intentions.
West, according to Kardashian, is "a brilliant but complicated man" who not only suffers from the corona isolation and the pressure to be a black artist, but also has to cope with the loss of his mother, who died in 2007.
People who have bipolar disorder often experience extreme mood swings.
Periods of relative normality can be followed by outbursts of euphoria, hyperactivity and overconfidence, at the other extreme are phases of deep depression.
