Kim’s secret escape plan

As rapper Kanye West sparks outrage over ‘misogynistic’ of lyrics and sends a fresh series explosive Tweets, Kim Kardashian tells friends it would be impossible to live tog e t h er rig ht now

nveiling his third U fashion collection in New York last week and launching his latest album, The Life Of Pablo , should have been a celebratory moment for Kanye West and his wife Kim Kardashian.

But he dominated headlines for all the wrong reasons, being hit by a tidal wave of criticism for his “women-hating” lyrics – and sparking outrage after Tweeting his support for US comic Bill Cosby, who’s been at the centre of dozens of rape and sex abuse allegations and is awaiting trial for sexual assault.

And – despite putting on a brave face for the cameras – insiders say Kim and Kanye have been living “virtually separate lives” and claim she is planning a secret escape route

from their marriage if he continues to court bad publicity.

LEGAL ADVICE

A source tells Closer : Kim’s taken advice on ho w she can leave Kanye, pr o tect her fin ances and ensu r e sh e has a custody agreement that suits her. She wants to be in control o f things just in case Kany e takes legal advice. She’s scared he may flip and act o n divorce proceedin gs bef ore she is prepared, so her legal team have a plan in place to protect her.”

Last week the rapper, 38, caused offence when his track, Famous – which debuted during the fashion show – took aim at Taylor Swift, 26, in a reference to the moment he interrupted her 2009 MTV award acceptance speech. The lyrics included: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex, why? I made that b**ch famous.”

Taylor’s spokesperson said she’d previously “cautioned” Kanye about the song’s “strong misogynistic message.”
