After entering the race for the presidency extremely late, rapper and entrepreneur Kanye West appears to be in the midst of a mental breakdown, and is going through some difficult times with his family as a result.

During his first campaign rally in South Carolina, West became very emotional and started discussing some very private things about his personal life, including the fact that he considered having one of his children aborted. His family reportedly wanted to have him committed to a mental hospital because they were so concerned about his mental health as they were watching the rally. West says that this is not the first time something like this has happened, and later posted to Twitter that the movie “Get Out” is about him.

After getting home from the event, West posted a rant about his family on Twitter, but later deleted it. In the posts, he revealed that he and Kim had been considering getting a divorce for a while now. He also called his mother in law “Kris Jong-Un.”

Sources later confirmed to the media that Kim Kardashian, has begun contacting lawyers about a divorce. However, Kardashian later made a post on her Instagram page asking for privacy and compassion, and discussing her husband’s mental health issues.

In the post, Kardashian wrote:

“As many of you know, Kanye has bipolar disorder. Anyone who has this or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand. I’ve never spoken publicly about how this has affected us at home because I am very protective of our children and Kanye’s right to privacy when it comes to his health. But today, I feel like I should comment on it because of the stigma and misconceptions about mental health. Those that understand mental illness or even compulsive behavior know that the family is powerless unless the member is a minor. People who are unaware or far removed from this experience can be judgmental and not understand that the individual themselves have to engage in the process of getting help no matter how hard family and friends try.”

In the days that followed, a long list of celebrities made appearances at West’s ranch in Wyoming to offer support and see how he was doing.

In an interview in 2018, Kanye admitted that he became addicted to opioids when they were prescribed to him after he got liposuction. The addiction may have contributed to his nervous breakdown in 2016. He has also said that he has been suicidal at times. In a 2019 interview with David Letterman, he said that he has bipolar disorder.

Kanye is also promoting a new album, and some people have suggested that his recent antics have been some sort of a publicity stunt, but anyone with a friend or family member who suffers from bipolar disorder can recognize the telltale signs of a mental breakdown, and West is clearly in the midst of one. Luckily, it appears that he may have recognized the error in his ways, because he later posted an apology.

I would like to apologize to my wife Kim for going public with something that was a private matter.
I did not cover her like she has covered https://t.co/A2FwdMu0YU Kim I want to say I know I hurt you. Please forgive me. Thank you for always being there for me.

As for West’s presidential run, it seems that there is no chance of him qualifying in any of the 50 US states, but it is still possible for him to make outrageous statements on his Twitter account.

In the United States, fewer and fewer citizens have been going out to the movies in recent years, but that part of the entertainment industry still brought in millions each week and was a beloved activity for many Americans. Now, with the lockdowns and stay at home orders imposed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, movie theaters across the country have been closed for over a month, and some of them are at risk of getting shut down for good.

Richard Greenfield, a media analyst at LightShed partners, said that the theater business was already set to see its worst year ever, and this was even before the coronavirus hit. Greenfield said that the pandemic is like “pouring lighter fluid on the fire.”

According to the New York Times, movie theater owners in the United States are now hoping for a bailout, but they are just one of many businesses that are depending on public funds for survival. As of right now, there is no indication as to whether or not there will be any help for movie theaters in future relief packages. However, many critics have argued that the movie theater format was already failing and would have already been on its way out in the next few years, even if the pandemic never happened.

In the midst of this disruption, the classic drive-in movie theater is starting to make a comeback, because the format allows moviegoers to socially distance from the safety and privacy of their vehicles.

There are currently about 320 drive-in theaters across the United States with only 25 open for business, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

In other countries, drive-in theaters have become even more popular in the past few months, but going out to the movies is much more popular overseas as well. In Germany, where the fatality rate for the virus is incredibly low, drive-ins have become very popular, and in some cases, new makeshift drive-in theaters have been quickly built as well. For example, Loe Studios, an independent cinema in the German town of Marl, found an open lot behind a biker bar and put up a 640 square foot LED screen. In other parts of Germany, drive-in theaters have also been established in public parks and parking lots. Meanwhile, drive-in theaters have also caught on in South Korea, where free theaters were established in public to help the population manage the stress of the lockdown.

With lockdowns around the world stretching into their second and third months, there are many people with cabin fever who are just looking to get out, and drive through theaters are giving people a safe option for a social outing.

Still, even in these settings, people should be careful to keep their windows up, otherwise, they could risk contracting the virus through particles in the air. Overall, most people, especially in the United States, have chosen to stay home and binge-watch shows and movies on streaming services like Netflix and Hulu, which have seen record months during the pandemic.
