She said the rapper’s increasingly strange behaviour was a result of his mental health condition.
Kanye, 43, posted a string of messages in which he referred to Kim, 39, as a “white supremacist” and said she had tried to have him sectioned.
He also claimed to have been attempting to separate from Kim — whom he wed in 2014 and has four children with — since discovering she had met with another rapper.
Kanye said Kim’s meeting with Meek Mill, 33, at a hotel in 2018 was “out of line”.

He tweeted: “They tried to fly in with two doctors to 51/50 me (Californian law code for sectioning someone).
“I been trying to get divorced since Kim met with Meek at the Warldorf (Hotel) for ‘prison reform’.”
In the same message he also compared his mother-in-law Kris Jenner, 64, to North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un by referring to her as Kris Jong-un.
His tweets also claimed that Michael Jackson’s death in 2009 was a murder and that the late superstar had previously warned people about music mogul Tommy Mottola, who Michael had fallen out with.
He needs Kim’s calmness

BIPOLAR is more common than many imagine. Typically, someone goes through severe swings of manic highs and extreme lows.
But some people have few or no highs. In these cases, bipolar may be misdiagnosed as depression.
Living with someone with bipolar is especially challenging if they refuse help. However, there are good treatments available.
From what Kanye has said, he may also have psychotic symptoms such as paranoia and feelings of being controlled or persecuted.
This can make it harder to convince him about treatment as he may not be thinking logically.
The outlook for severe untreated bipolar is poor in terms of leading a normal life. And bipolar also carries a higher risk of suicide — which is in itself an excellent reason to seek help.
My advice to Kim would be to stay as calm as possible, show understanding, look out for changes and keep a diary to spot what triggers any changes in symptoms.
Most of all, he needs encouragement to seek treatment.
Kanye has to believe that it will help him personally and it will bring more positives than negatives.
Kanye added: “MJ told you about Tommy before they killed him.”
But Kim posted a lengthy statement defending her husband and begging for “compassion” amid his troubles, which came to a head on Sunday at a rally he held for his US presidential bid.
He broke down in tears at the event in Charleston, South Carolina, after saying Kim had almost aborted their eldest daughter North, seven.
Kim wrote: “I understand Kanye is subject to criticism because he is a public figure and his actions at times can cause strong opinions and emotions.
“He is a brilliant but complicated person who on top of the pressures of being an artist and a black man, who experienced the painful loss of his mother, has to deal with the pressure and isolation that is heightened by his bipolar disorder.

“Those who are close with Kanye know his heart and understand his words sometimes do not align with his intentions.”
But in another message, now deleted, Kanye wrote: “Kris and Kim put out a statement without my approval . . . that’s not what a wife should do. White supremacy.”
Continuing to criticise Kim’s mum and manager Kris, he said he would welcome her coming to see him at his ranch in Cody, Wyoming, only if she stops organising racy photoshoots for his wife.
Kim is not believed to have spoken to her husband in recent days as he is thought to be refusing to answer her phone calls.
