Kim Kardashian ‘s former best friend Larsa Pippen has claimed Kanye West “brainwashed” the star and her famous family against her.
Larsa was Kim’s closest friend for more than a decade before the pair mysteriously fell out earlier this year to reasons unknown.
But it seems as though Larsa, 46, is adamant she’s done “nothing” to drive a wedge between the pair, and now shifts the blame onto the rapper, 43, for getting involved.
Speaking on Hollywood Raw podcast, Larsa claimed: “[Kanye] has literally brainwashed the whole family into thinking… I don’t even know what.
“He talks so much about me being this and that and this and that. I just feel like Kanye was in a place where he really didn’t trust anyone with Kim.”
Larsa alleges that Kanye turned against her when she decided to block his number after getting fed up of his constant early morning calls.
She explained: “He used to call me at four, five, and six o’clock in the morning. I was the person that would take his calls when he wanted to rant.
“I would listen to him. I would be like,’I love you, you’re the best, things will get better’. I was his go-to person to call when he wasn’t happy with X, Y, and Z. How that turned?
“Maybe because I blocked him on my phone because I couldn’t bear taking his calls anymore. I can’t, I’m drained. So, I blocked him on my phone. Obviously, that really upset him.”
She went on: “So, he turned that into, ‘Oh she’s this and she’s that’. They all started to ride his wave. If you’re that easily swayed, like the wind, then do I really give a f**k? Should I give a f**k? I don’t know.
“Was I hurt by it? Yes. But at the same time, I’m like, I’ve done nothing. I’ve never done one thing. I’ve been the most honest and truthful best friend to all of them.”
Kim and Larsa unfollowed each other on social media around the time of Kanye West’s public meltdown and have remained distanced from each other ever since.
Kanye made a series of wild statements about Kim and her family and also cryptically tweeted Larsa’s name next to a thinking face emoji.
But despite feeling hurt about the way things have turned out, Larsa insists Kim is just trying to make things “better” with her husband after a rocky year of marriage.
She said: “I love you, you and I are best friends, we’ve been through everything together. I would never do anything to jeopardise our relationship, we are like sisters, like family. But if you have to unfollow me to make your home a better place, then do it.”
Larsa added: “If Kanye feels he and Kim are better without me, then let them be without me. I’m OK with that. Do I look like I’m suffering?
“Do I look like I’m in pain? I’m OK, I will survive. Was it hurtful? Yes. But do I have love from a lot of other places? Yes. This shall pass too.”
