According to the Daily Mail, Kardashian has strengthened her already robust security team after her ex-husband, West, sparked concerns for her safety in a shocking outburst online.

He has often slammed the reality TV star and raised eyebrows when he recently shared that he regrets having children with her.

In his latest viral meltdown, West claimed on a livestream that he'd been blocked from seeing his kids and said he'd "go get these kids."

"F--k all these f--got n--gas," West said in the disturbing clip. "I'mma go get these kids, bro. I'm talking to the lawyers — it gets to the point where I don't lose my f--kin' mind where I got to get used to not seeing my kids.

Now, sources close to Kardashian have shared that she's taking extreme measures to protect herself and her kids and has told friends and family to be mindful of what they share online about her and her children.

Kardashian and West married in 2014 and welcomed four children: North, Chicago, Psalm, and Saint, before separating and finalizing their divorce in 2022.

They were granted joint custody over their children, but the "Carnival" rapper has often claimed that he's been denied that right, particularly when he wrote on X that he had not seen son Saint this year.

The source told the Daily Mail that Kardashian is increasingly spooked by West's public posts, especially when it relates to their kids, adding that she "never stands in the way" of their children spending time with him.

"The kids have to deal with a lot of things as it is, and now their father is admitting to all of these things publicly," the insider explained. "At some point, it just gets to be too much. And for Kim, this is too much. She doesn't feel safe right now."

West's feud with Kardashian took a wild turn when he claimed, during an interview with DJ Akademiks, that he regrets getting the SKIMS founder pregnant.

"That was my fault," he said. "I didn't want to have children with this person after the first two months of being with her, but that wasn't God's plan."

"I don't got the name and likeness ownership, or at least 50-50 with my kids," the rapper explained to Akademiks at some point, referring to the "nuclear" war between them over their children. "So, how's it joint custody?"

"My kids are celebrities, and I don't have the say so," West continued. "So this white woman and this white family have the control of these highly influential black kids that are half the children of Ye."

Kim Kardashian To Testify In $10 Million Jewelry Heist

The feud between the ex-couple comes as the SKIMS founder prepares to take the stand in Paris next month over the $10 million jewelry heist she was a victim of in 2016.

She was robbed in the French capital by five men who disguised themselves as police and was left traumatized when they allegedly bound her arms and legs with zip ties and covered her eyes and mouth with duct tape.

Kardashian has rarely spoken on the episode and told David Letterman in 2022 that she feared she would be raped and killed when the armed suspects confronted her.

"It's not something she likes to revisit," the insider told the Daily Mail. "She was terrorized, she was physically tied up and put in a bathtub."

"She was a young mother who thought that she was never going to see her children again," the source continued. "This was the scariest thing that ever happened to her, and it's not a joke."

"It's going to be hard for her, but her mom has always been her go-to for this," they added. "She'll talk this through with her mom and get strength there. But it's going to be a weird month for her, that's for sure."

The trial of ten suspects began this week as they face lengthy prison sentences if found guilty. One of them, identified as Yunice Abbas, has already admitted to his role in the robbery and shared that he "regrets" his actions because of the trauma it caused Kardashian.

"This time I have regrets," he told the court, per BBC News. "Before I didn't… It opened my eyes. We just grabbed the lady's handbag, but I have discovered there's trauma behind it."

Meanwhile, Kardashian's attorney, Michael Rhodes, has said she's ready to face the alleged robbers in court.
