Khloe Kardashian has appeared to publicly address Kanye West’s anti-Semitism remarks in a new Instagram post.

The 38-year-old became the first member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan to allude to the controversy surrounding her former brother-in-law, 45.

The Kardashians star reposted a statement from Jessica Seinfeld that read, “I support my Jewish friends and the Jewish people” on her Instagram Story on Sunday.

In light of West’s comments earlier this month, anti-Semitic banners reading, “Honk if you know... Kayne is right about the Jews... GOYIM TV.TV. REV 3:9, John 8:44” were hung from a Los Angeles highway by the Goyim Defense League, a group that spreads conspiracy theories about Jews, on Saturday.

The group of five people, who donned hats and masks, showed their support for West after he wrote a now deleted tweet that he was going to go “defcon 3” on Jewish people and alleged that he wasn’t “anti Semitic because black people are actually Jews.”

West also accused record producer Sean “Diddy” Combs of being controlled by the religious minority on Instagram at the same time.

This include falsely stating that George Floyd died from “fentanyl” and that former police officer Derek Chauvin’s knee “wasn’t even on [Floyd’s] neck like that”.

Last year, medical experts proved Floyd died from a lack of oxygen, not from the trace amount of fentanyl in his system. West is now being sued for his false comments for $250 million by Floyd’s family.

Elsewhere, luxury fashion house Balenciaga has cut ties with West following his recent spate of controversial comments.

Balenciaga’s parent company Kering confirmed that the brand would no longer be working with the rapper turned fashion mogul.

"Balenciaga has no longer any relationship nor any plans for future projects related to this artist," a representative for Kering said last Thursday.

The Yeezy fashion mogul, who has legally changed his name to Ye, had joined forces with Balenciaga’s creative director Demna Gvasalia earlier this year to release the Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga clothing line.

He also opened the brand’s Paris Fashion Week show earlier this month. An image of the 45-year-old star walking the runway at the show has been removed from their website.

On Thursday, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) wrote an open letter to Adidas bosses asking them to discontinue releasing products from Ye’s Yeezy footwear line.

They called on the sports retail giant to not give the star’s “antisemitism a pass” and show that there are consequences for his “hateful” comments.

The German retailer announced on October, 6, prior to the star’s antisemitic comments, that its partnership with his Yeezy brand was “under review”. They’ve made no further comment.

In an unprecedented move, JP Morgan has also given Ye a deadline to remove his millions from their bank by the end of November.
