“Divorce is difficult enough on our children and Kanye’s obsession with trying to control and manipulate our situation so negatively and publicly is only causing further pain for all,” she continued. “From the beginning I have wanted nothing but a healthy relationship because it is what is best for our children and it saddens me that Kanye continues to make it impossible every step of the way.”

West has previously taken issue withNorth creating a TikTok account.
Last month, the rapper mentioned the situation during an interview withHollywood Unlock’sJason Lee, where he discussed co-parenting with Kardashian since shefiled for divorcelast February.
“My children ain’t going to be on TikTok without my permission,” he said at the time. Along with North, the pair also share daughterChicago, 4, and sonsSaint, 6, andPsalm, 2½.
North launched a joint TikTok profile with Kardashian called@kimandnorthin November. But Kardashian says North has been given boundaries when it comes to being on the social media platform.
In aninterviewwith journalist Bari Weiss last month, theKeeping Up with the Kardashiansalum said she wasn’t happy whenNorth went live on TikTok without her permission, adding that “in my house, there are rules.”
The comment appeared to be in response to North going live on TikTok, recording the inside of her home without Kardashian’s knowledge. In the clip, North walked into a bedroom and showed Kardashian lying in bed.
“Mom, I’m live,” North told Kardashian, who replied: “No, stop. You’re not allowed to,” before the video abruptly ended.
