West then said he was taking “accountability” for the posts and said he was “working on” his communication skills: “I’ve learned that using all caps makes people feel like I’m screaming at them. I’m working on my communication. I can benefit from a team of creative professionals, organizers, mobilizers and community leaders. Thank everybody for supporting me.”
“I know sharing screen shots was jarring and came off as harassing Kim,” he continued. “I take accountability. I’m still learning in real time. I don’t have all the answers. To be [a] good leader is to be a good listener.”
However, West has continued sharing posts about Davidson, Kardashian and her family in the weeks since.
