Kanye West, who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2016, now claims he was “mentally misdiagnosed”.
After returning to Twitter after being previously banned from the site for anti-Semitic comments, the rapper launched his usual nightly routine of calling loved ones while sharing personal text messages Thursday night.
This time against his former personal trainer, Harley Pasternak, who is Jewish.
“What should be obvious by now is that I was raised to stand up for my truth, regardless of the consequences,” the rapper tweeted alongside a screenshot of his alleged conversation with the celebrity trainer.
“So, I repeat, I was mentally misdiagnosed and nearly drugged to make me a manageable, well-behaved celebrity.”
In the text message, Pasternak asked West to have an “open and loving conversation” with him based on “facts.” He also asked his former friend to refrain from “swear words” or “crazy stuff”.
However, Pasternak’s next message changed tone as he apparently threatened to have West, 45, put back in an institution.
“Second option, I institutionalized you again where they heal you, and you go back to Zombieland forever. The play date with the kids just won’t be the same.
Pasternak was reportedly the person who called the police on West when the rapper was hospitalized for his “erratic” behavior in 2016.
The rapper-turned-fashion designer has come under fire over the past month for his disturbing anti-Semitic remarks as friends claim he is in the midst of a ‘psychiatric episode’.
However, many people – including many celebrities – support the idea that West’s mental state does not exempt him from the consequences of his comments.
His allegations against Pasternak also come just a day after reports claimed West had paid off a former employee who wanted to speak out about his alleged anti-Semitism for years.
According to NBC, the employee saw the rapper praising Adolf Hitler and the Nazis at meetings, which he denies.
Additionally, it was reported that the Grammy-winning artist wanted to name his 2018 album “Hitler.”
The disturbing allegations came to light after West threatened to ‘kill death con 3’ against Jewish people and called out ‘Jewish media’ for silencing him.
