Kim Kardashian is defending her husband Kanye West for seemingly defending R. Kelly and Michael Jackson in the midst of controversial sexual assault allegations. 

Kanye had brought up R. Kelly and Michael Jackson, the subject of an upcoming documentary called Leaving Neverland, about the allegations against Michael molesting underage boys.

“They just gonna pull up full documentaries on him,” he said, according to Complex. “Then they gonna come with the Michael [Jackson] documentary. … We can all enjoy all their music all we want. I thought I wasn’t going to go there today. If we’re gonna tear down artists, let’s go ahead and take [Leonardo] da Vinci out the Louvre. Let’s take down all the art.”

Kim then tweeted: “I’m going to nip this in the bud right now. Kanye was speaking about his own experience of everyone quick to say they are cancelling him because of differences in opinion & not being perfect. The analogies were in context to his own experiences, not defending anyone else.”

She continued in another tweet: “I want to make it very clear, he is not condoning anyone’s actions or unacceptable disgusting behavior. My husband’s words are being taken out of context due to timing.”
