    Two of her sisters Khloe Kardashian and Kendall Jenner also posted on Instagram that they stand with Jews.
    On Sunday, English pop star Boy George condemned Kardashian's silence, urging her as a mother to come out against the rapper's comments.
    "I'm appalled that Kim Kardashian hasn't added her voice to this debate, because this woman has children with Kanye, so she needs to understand as a mother, how Jewish children feel when they hear these horrible words, how demoralizing and terrifying it must be," he said.
    After Kanye, who has legally changed his name to Ye, attacked Jews on a Drink Champs podcast and on social media, Balenciaga announced they were ending their cooperation with him, MRC said they would not release a documentary film on him, and the Creative Artists Agency said he was no longer their client.

    A spokesperson for Vogue said the magazine and its editor Anna Wintour would no longer work with him.
    On Monday, vocal Israel critic Gigi Hadid also came out against Ye in a post. "I support my Jewish friends and the Jewish people," Hadid wrote.
    In an apparent change of heart, the model also seemed to have quietly removed all her previous Instagram posts in which she criticized Israel going back to May 2021. Hadid has not provided any explanation for doing so.
