Kim Kardashian’s eight-year-old son, Saint West, recently faced a setback as his YouTube channel was deleted following the posting of two controversial videos targeting Vice President Kamala Harris. This incident has sparked discussions on social media about the implications of child content creation and parental oversight.
In September, Kardashian announced the launch of Saint’s YouTube channel, encouraging her followers to subscribe. She shared a contract outlining the rules for his channel, which emphasized the importance of parental supervision. The contract stated, “I must show my mom or guardian all videos before I post them,” and outlined the consequences for not adhering to the rules, including potential account privatization or deletion. The agreement also prohibited Saint from sharing personal family information or filming any private matters.
Despite these precautions, two YouTube Shorts mocking Kamala Harris were uploaded to Saint’s channel on October 29. One of the videos featured a cartoon image depicting someone stepping in “s**t” with Harris’s image on their foot, while the other included the cast of Saved By The Bell repeatedly using derogatory terms to describe her.
By October 30, the channel was no longer accessible. Although there has been no official statement confirming that Kim Kardashian deleted the account, many social media users speculate that she took action in response to the content posted.
The political landscape surrounding the Kardashian family adds another layer to this situation. Kim Kardashian and her ex-husband, Kanye West, who share opposing political beliefs, have had public disagreements over their views. Kanye has openly supported Donald Trump, the 2024 Republican Presidential Nominee, while Kim endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016 and backed Joe Biden during the 2020 election. Despite their differences, Kardashian maintains a friendship with Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, celebrating her birthday recently on social media.
As the conversation continues, many are left wondering about the responsibilities of parents in guiding their children’s online activities, especially when political content is involved. Kardashian’s experience serves as a reminder of the challenges public figures face when navigating personal beliefs and the content shared by their children.
