Kim Kardashian reacted to her 8-year-old son Saint West’s election-themed social media posts.
In September, Kim revealed that Saint would be launching his own Fortnite-themed YouTube channel after signing an “extensive” contract where he agreed not to share any personal family information. “I must show my mom or guardian all videos before I post them. I give permission to any grown up if mom says to delete my video for any reason. If I don’t listen to all of the rules, mom could make my page private or delete my account,” the contract read.
However, at the end of last month, the channel was taken down after sharing two anti-Kamala Harris videos. In one, an angry man lifted up his shoe to see an image of Harris. The words say, “I stepped in shit.” Another video had a picture of Harris next to a Saved by the Bell montage that called her, “dumb,” “stupid,” “crazy,” and “dangerous.”
In a new episode of the podcast That’s My Best Friend, Kim spoke about “giving yourself grace, like if your kid says a bad word or something and you could be mortified.”

“I get mortified when — like Saint took my phone today and posted and my publicist is writing me like, ‘This is what you’re posting on Election Day?’ And I was like, ‘It’s a kid. He has no idea,’” she continued.
“He reposted a video of something about the election, and I took his account down just because he has to ask me before every post. He just started a Fortnite account, and I’m like, you’ve gotta give yourself grace,” Kim added, acknowledging that she was behind the channel being deactivated.
