KIM Kardashian has been having a difficult time grappling with her portrayal in her ex-husband Kanye West’s new documentary, The U.S. Sun can exclusively report.
As In Whose Name? hits select theaters on September 19, Kim is dreading the public seeing her at such a low point in her life.

A source exclusively told The U.S. Sun that the reality star is terrified about how she’ll be viewed in the documentary and that it will ruin the “perfect image” she has tried so hard to maintain.
“Kim’s biggest nightmare is having something that is deeply personal, like video footage, out there in the world that she has no control over,” the insider shared.
Although the Hulu star is no stranger to being in front of the camera, given that she has starred in two successful reality series, Keeping Up with the Kardashians and The Kardashians, she then called the shots on what was shown as an executive producer.
However, this project is different, as it’s under her ex’s strings and the director Nico Ballesteros, who was 18 at the start of the six-year-long filming process.
“[Kim’s] entire career has been about her very carefully building this perfect image,” the source explained.
“She is notorious for not even allowing pap pics she does not authorize or approve of being circulated, so obsessed is she with maintaining this perfect image.”
This time, Kim, who runs numerous multi-million-dollar brands, including her Skims shapewear and SKKN by Kim skincare lines, had to relinquish any creative control on the project, which has been an uncomfortable position for the businesswoman.
“Kanye’s documentary has her in a spiral,” the insider continued. “Her team were ordered to get an advance copy.
“At the time when the film director was doing all the footage, following Kanye around, it was a really dark time in her life.
“In the distraction of everything that followed, it’s like she had forgotten the ‘teenager’ who had the camera stuck to him 24/7 – and she had always assumed that there was no way Kanye would just let it get this far.”
Kim, 44, and Kanye, 48, haven’t seen eye-to-eye since they split in 2021, following seven years of marriage and the birth of four children: North, 12; Saint, 9; Chicago, 7; and Psalm, 5.
They finalized their divorce in 2022, but struggled to maintain a smooth co-parenting relationship, which Kanye repeatedly reminded fans of in his numerous social media rants.
Fans got a glimpse into their relationship issues in the final season of KUWTK, which showed the family dealing with Kanye’s erratic behavior, and Kim admitting she was unhappy in their marriage.
Cameras were rolling during this particularly low moment for the pair, and the source said that Kim “hates” how she comes across.
Bianca Censori and Kanye West’s relationship
Bianca Censori was born on January 5, 1995, in Melbourne, Australia
Before her current full-time job, the 30-year-old started a jewelry company called Nylons after leaving high school.
After working as a student architect for three years, she completed a master’s degree between 2019 and 2020 ahead of moving to Los Angeles.
In a radio interview, a childhood friend of Bianca’s claimed that Kanye slid into her DMs on Instagram.
The rapper reportedly said, “Come and work for me.”
At which point she says the designer moved to LA to join his company Yeezy as the “head of architecture” – and has been since November 2020.
WEDDING BELLS
On Friday, October 6, 2023, The Daily Mail reported Kanye and Bianca wed on December 20, 2022.
The couple tied the knot under a “confidential marriage license” in the state of California.
The two wed in Palo Alto, California, according to the document.
The wedding came just one month after Kanye and Kim Kardashian finalized their divorce.
“She hates how she is portrayed on this. Kim has done a really good job of coming out of her marriage and that time as a self-made entrepreneur,” the insider went on.
“In the documentary footage, she’s a sobbing mess, the wife who gets shouted at and put in her place by Kanye, who gets ignored and walked out on – has doors slammed on her.
“Kim worked hard to spin the narrative around their messy marriage and divorce. This documentary tears that apart.”
The insider added that Kim has been keeping a low profile in the lead-up to the film’s release.

Earlier this month, a teaser from the documentary dropped showing Kim crying hysterically while her then-husband had a full-blown meltdown.
In the clip, the Donda rapper revealed that he had been “off of my meds” for months and confessed he’d rather be dead than on medication.
Kanye was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2016 after being hospitalized for a psychiatric emergency.
However, earlier this year, the recording artist revealed he has since learned he has autism rather than the mood disorder.
Also in the film, Kanye screams at Kim’s mom Kris Jenner in an unhinged rant.
“It does matter! It does matter!” he shouts at Kris, after she claimed it “doesn’t matter” what fans think about him in a discussion about his mental health.
