Kim Kardashian reportedly shut down her 8-year-old son Saint West’s YouTube channel after he posted two videos attacking Vice President Kamala Harris. The account, @TheGoatSaint, was deactivated on Wednesday when Kardashian removed the page. She had previously mentioned that she had control over her son’s channel and would delete it if he posted content she did not approve of.
The videos shared by Saint showed a cartoon character stepping in feces with a picture of Harris on its foot, as well as the cast of “Saved By The Bell” calling the VP names over a photo of her face. This content raised concerns about cyberbullying and inappropriate speech coming from a young child. The account was shut down following these incidents, likely to prevent further negative messages being spread.
It was revealed that Saint had signed a contract regarding the rules he must follow to use his YouTube channel. The contract states that he must show all videos to his mom or guardian before posting, give permission for any adult to delete a video at his mom’s request, and follow all rules to avoid having his page made private or his account deleted. It appears that Saint may have violated these rules with his posts about Harris.
Kim Kardashian and her ex-husband Kanye West have differing political beliefs, with Kardashian supporting Democrats and West being a longtime supporter of former President Donald Trump. West has also expressed interest in running for president himself in 2024, and even asked Trump to be his running mate. Kardashian, on the other hand, has had discussions with Trump and Harris regarding clemency for non-violent drug offenders.
While Kardashian has not publicly endorsed Harris, she has shown support for some Democratic causes, including criminal justice reform. The shut down of Saint’s YouTube channel serves as a reminder of the power parents have over their children’s online activities, in terms of content creation and sharing. It is important for parents to be aware of what their children are posting online and to monitor their activities to ensure they are safe and respectful. Cyberbullying and inappropriate language online can have serious consequences and it is crucial to address these issues promptly.
