Bizarre goings-on at Ye's now-defunct Donda Academy

The most important information I needed to glean from that article was: dear God, this place is closed now, right? Fortunately, yes.

I feel bad for the poor kids who were pulled out of real school and subjected to that and now have to go back and try to catch up with their peers. I think the reason many of the parents sent them there to begin with was because their schools weren't good, and Kanye was promising them a great private education. Just sucks all the way around.

And I hope they didn't ingest too much mercury from eating sushi every day.

Kanye opened a school that was a hot mess and catered to his enormous ego? Huh imagine that.

Anyone read the recent NYTimes article. He is even more vile than I imagined. Shame on Adidas for continuing to work with him for so long.

Here are just a few examples

he grabbed a sketch of a shoe and took a marker to the toe, according to two participants. Then he drew a swastika.

Mr. West made Adidas executives watch pornography during a meeting at his Manhattan apartment, ostensibly to spark creativity.

He later advised a Jewish Adidas manager to kiss a picture of Hitler every day, and he told a member of the company’s executive board that he had paid a seven-figure settlement to one of his own senior employees who accused him of repeatedly praising the architect of the Holocaust.

It's dreadful. I couldn't read it in one sitting - it's so disturbing. As bad as Kanye is, I was more enraged by the corporate culture and the (I assume) lower-level employees who were told by their better-paid higher-ups to put up with it.

I hate how celebrities can be terrible to people because they're "geniuses". This conduct is uncalled for and I'm glad his assholery keeps getting called out.
