Kim Kardashian Speaks Out For The 'Last Time' On The Call Between Taylor Swift And Kanye West

2016 was a long time ago. And however, the drama surrounding that fateful phone call between Taylor Swift and Kanye West over his song well known continues. Just one day right after Swift responded to the full leaked version of the call on her Instagram Stories, Kim Kardashian West took to social media yesterday (March 23) to defend West and call out Swift for "lying" and digging up old bones.


"@taylorswift has chosen to reignite an old exchange - that at this point in time feels very self-serving given the suffering millions of real victims are facing now Kardashian tweeted, alluding to the continuous threat of the COVID-19 pandemic. "I didn't feel the need to comment a number of days prior, and I'm actually really embarrassed and mortified to be doing now, nevertheless because she keeps it up and continues to speak on it, I feel I'm left without a choice because she is actually lying."


from there on, Kardashian went on to explain the hugest problem she had with the full ordeal. "To be clear, the only offer I ever had around the scenario was that Taylor lied through her publicist who stated that 'Kanye never called to ask for permission...' They clearly talked so I let you all visualize that," she mentioned. She also mentioned that she never "denied the word 'bitch' was used without [Swift's] permission."


The KKW Aesthetics mogul continued her social media rant by accusing Swift of changing the entire narrative of the conversation. "She manipulated the truth of their actual conversation in her statement as soon as her team mentioned she resisted and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message,'" Kardashian wrote. "The lie was never about the word bitch, it was habitually whether there was a phone call or not and the tone of the conversation."


additionally to defending her hubby, Kardashian used this possibility to defend herself as well against allegations that she edited footage of the call that she shared on Snapchat in 2016. "I never edited the footage (another lie)," she wrote. "I only posted a number of clips on Snapchat to create my point and the entire video that recently leaked doesn't change the narrative."


For her final point, Kardashian mentioned that West "has every right to document his musical journey and process," much like Swift did in her recent Netflix documentary, Miss Americana. "Kanye has documented the making of all of his albums for his personalized archive," she said. "The call between the two of those would have remained private or would have gone in the trash had she not lied & forced me to defend him."


The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star closed out her statement by apologizing to her followers. "This will be the last time I speak on this because honestly, nobody cares," she wrote. "Sorry to bore you all with this. I know you are all dealing with more serious and critical matters."


However will this really be the last time Kardashian speaks on this? Those who've been after the drama seem unconvinced. Especially since Swift's publicist, Tree Paine, took to her own personalized Twitter account to respond to West's lengthy statement. "I'm Taylor's publicist and this is my UNEDITED original statement," Paine tweeted. "Btw, whenever you take parts out, that's editing. P.S. Who did you guys piss off to leak that video?"


Swift, for her part, addressed the resurfaced call on Instagram on March 23 by asserting that she instructed them truth, nevertheless also that time could be better spent donating to charities like Feeding America, which she linked out to. As a substitute of answering those who are asking about how I feel about the video footage that leaked, proving that I was telling truth the complete time about *that call* (you know, the one that was illegally recorded, that somebody edited and manipulated group in attempt to frame me and put me, my family member, and fans through hell for 4 years)... SWIPE UP to be able to see what really matters."


If you're wondering how all of this resurfaced 2016 drama will continue to play out, we're right there with you. However with 2016 being a whole four years prior, perhaps it is almost time to move on.
