Kim Kardashian Defends Kanye West From 'Insensitive' Wheelchair Comment: Both Not Sorry!

Kim Kardashian to the rescue!

After Kanye West suffered from public backlash after he stopped his concert because two handicapped fans weren't standing, Kim took to social media to passionately defend his husband. She reportedly called Kanye's Australian concert "clouded by lies in the media".

Taking to Instagram, the 33-year-old "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star posted a video of her husband, performing on the stage, along with an emotional caption that read:

"What an amazing Australian tour! Its frustrating that something so awesome could be clouded by lies in the media. Kanye never asked anyone in a wheel chair to stand up & the audience videos show that. He asked for everyone to stand up & dance UNLESS they were in a wheel chair. #JustWantedEveryoneToHaveAFunNight #TheMediaTwistsThings".

It looks like Kim, alongside Kanye, does not think hubby should apologize for the concert wheelchair mix-up.

Last September 14, TMZ released a video of Kanye blaming the media for putting a negative spin on the incident. He called out noted TV personalities like Matt Lauer, Whoopi Goldbergand Michael Strahan. Kanye said this about the media: "They want the masses, the people who have never even heard one of my albums to somehow read a headline... and think I'm a bad person." 

He added: "Look at me for a second. Take a step back and look at this. I'm a married, Christian man with a family. At my concerts I make sure everybody has as good of a time as possible." And ended it by saying, "Pick a new target."

Kanye allegedly berated two fans, who were wheelchair-bound, after they did not stand up as he sang "The Good Life" at his Yeezus concert at the Qantas last Friday.

"I decided I can't do this song, I can't do the rest of this show, until everybody stand up. Unless you got like a handicap pass and you get special parking and s--- ... I ain't going to go on with the show unless y'all stand up," he reportedly said, according to the Daily Telegraph.
