“I haven’t had psoriasis since I got divorced, and it just started coming back,” she said as she added she recently felt "pretty tested" by West. “I mean, I have psoriasis again," she said, referencing how she is doing now. "I felt more stressed, probably just because I had to super, super protect what I had to protect.”

Kim also said that she wants to focus on protecting their children; North, 12, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6. "It is so f***ing sad," she added, talking about where things stand between them now.
