\tKim Kardashian voiced her support of the Jewish community in wake of her ex-husband Kanye West’s repeated antisemitic remarks.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cHate speech is never OK or excusable,\u201d she wrote Monday on Twitter without directly addressing West. \u201cI stand together with the Jewish community and call on the terrible violence and hateful rhetoric towards them to come to an immediate end.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tWest, who has four children with Kardashian, has been widely quoted and temporarily locked out of saying he was \u201cgoing death con 3 on Jewish people\u201d as well as amplifying antisemitic conspiracy in multiple interviews. Over the weekend, his comments emboldened a group of demonstrators in Los Angeles to give Nazi salutes on the 405 Freeway over a banner that read, \u201cKanye is right about the Jews.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tEntertainment industry figures, including Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel and The Gersh Agency’s Bob Gersh, urged companies that work with West \u2014 who also goes by Ye \u2014 to cut ties after Saturday’s antisemitic protest in LA and his tweet about wanting to go \u201cdeath con 3\u201d on Jewish people. He also faced recent criticism for wearing a \u201cWhite Lives Matter\u201d shirt to Paris Fashion Week.<\/p>\n

\n

\tBalenciaga, a long-time collaborator of West’s, has already parted ways with the musician. But Adidas, who distributes his billion-dollar brand Yeezy, hasn’t publicly responded to the growing backlash. West even taunted the company in a recent podcast interview, saying, \u201cI can say anti-Semitic things, and Adidas can’t drop me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tThe fallout over West’s statements continued on Monday as Media Rights Capital shelved a completed documentary about West and talent agency CAA dropped him as a client.<\/p>\n

\n

\tReese Witherspoon spoke out on Sunday to say \u201cantisemitism in any form is deplorable,\u201d while Florence Pugh wrote on Instagram that \u201cany form of hate speech only encourages, it grows and spreads like a disease.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anti-semitism in any form is deplorable. in person. online. Doesn’t matter where. It’s hate and it’s unacceptable.<\/p>\n

\tOther celebrities, including Kim Kardashian’s sisters Khloe Kardashian and Kendall Jenner, have taken to Instagram to share the following message: \u201cI support my Jewish friends and the Jewish people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tAmy Schumer, who is friends with Kim Kardashian, shared the same statement and added as a caption: \u201cIf you don’t know what to post. Let’s start with this. In the comments. Do you know what the Jewish community is afraid this will lead to? 1 in 2 people don’t know the holocaust happened. Stand up.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
