Kanye West doesn't want Kim Kardashian to use his social media posts in her divorce documents and objected to her claims he has used his platform to spread misinformation.
The 40-year-old beauty filed new paperwork on 23 February repeating her request from December to be declared legally single and also accused her estranged husband - who she split from last February - of causing emotional distress by "putting a lot of misinformation regarding our private family matters and co-parenting on social media".
But two days later, Kanye - who has made a number of public swipes at Kim and her new boyfriend Pete Davidson on Instagram in recent months - filed his own documents, insisting there was no evidence submitted to back up her accusation.
His lawyer wrote in an objection: "The statement that 'Kanye has been putting a lot of misinformation...on social media' is double hearsay.
"Kim claims she read something online allegedly by Kanye and characterises the posts in her declaration as misinformation.
"The social media posts are not attached to the declaration.
“Kim needed to offer the social media posts into evidence, and show that the posts were written by Kanye.
“Had that been done, the posts would be admissible as statements of a party opponent.
"Instead, Kim argues a point that is not in the record. The statement is inadmissible hearsay...so Kanye asks that it be stricken."
Kim - who has North, eight, Saint, six, Chicago, four, and Psalm, two, with Kanye - urged the court to declare the former couple legally single so Kanye can "move forward".
She wrote: "I very much desire to be divorced. I have asked Kanye to keep our divorce private, but he has not done so.
“Kanye has been putting a lot of misinformation regarding our private family matters and co-parenting on social media which has created emotional distress.
The SKIMS founder went on to explain that she feels that their marriage is now irreparable, even if her former husband "does not agree."
The statement continued: "While I wish our marriage would have succeeded, I have come to the realization that there is no way to repair our marriage.
“Kanye does not agree but at least it appears that he has come to the realization that I want to end our marriage, even if he does not.
"I need to be single so I can begin the healing process and so that our family can begin the healing process and move forward in this new chapter in our lives."
The 44-year-old rapper - who legally changed his name to Ye following their split - recently expressing his desire to reconcile with his estranged wife following a stream of posts criticising her current partner, Pete Davidson and prior to that used his platform criticise Kim for allegedly keeping him away from their four children and allowing North to use TikTok without his permission in now-deleted Instagram posts.
