But he’s facing a lot of backlash for having Marilyn Manson. Manson is currently accused of sexual assault by several women, and people didn’t like it that Kanye had him over. As if Kanye ever does what’s expected.
But it looks like Kim Kardashian had no idea Kanye intended to have Marilyn Manson on the show. She didn’t even know while it was happening.
A source told People: “She was seated inside a suite facing the back of the house on the stage so she would not have been able to see them at all from her vantage point. She wasn’t in the loop at all about what was happening at the show. She was only aware of what Kanye had asked her to do, and she was willing to help him.”
Another source shared she is supportive of her ex, but not happy about Manson’s appearance: “Kanye will always be family to Kim. When Kanye is doing well and is happy, it benefits the kids. Kim is the first one to support his visions. He asked her to be part of the listening event and she said yes without hesitation. She didn’t know that Marilyn Manson would be there too.”
“She understands why there is backlash. Kim is all about positive publicity. She would have never participated if she knew Manson would be there.”
