The 5150

man yellingSOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] This musician’s family has talked to two separate doctors in the past week about getting a psychiatric hold on him!

A 5150 hold (see below) can only be put on someone if they are a threat to themselves or others. Remember Amanda Bynes? Despite months of very bizarre behavior, her parents could not obtain a 5150 hold on her until she soaked her dog in gasoline and set a fire on a stranger’s driveway. After they got the 5150, the parents were able to get themselves appointed her conservators and take control of her treatment and her finances.

Unless our musician threatens to harm or actually physically harm himself or others, his family can’t legally force him into treatment for his mental illness, nor can they take control of his finances.

In public, they will pretend that everything is fine. However, behind the scenes, they are taking several steps. They are safeguarding their finances and keeping it firmly under their control. To ensure the safety of the child/ren, they will make sure that he is never left alone with them. And to ensure their own brand’s survival, they will put out lots of distracting stories about themselves, their projects, their houses, and their kids.

BG Note: California Welfare and Institutions Code Section 5150 authorizes a qualified officer or clinician to involuntarily confine a person suspected to have a mental disorder that makes him or her a danger to himself or herself, a danger to others, and/or gravely disabled. The person can only be held for 72 hours for evaluation, after which time the hold is extended or terminated.

kanye-kimSOLVED!

Musician: Kanye West

Family: The Kardashians

Who told you months ago that a 5150 hold was coming? Blind Gossip did!

We told you in February that Kardashian family members were discussing getting a 5150 psychiatric hold placed on Kanye West. They were told they had to wait until Kanye West harmed/threatened to harm himself/others before they could get the 5150.

Well, that time has finally arrived!

Kanye just had a breakdown where he threatened to physically hurt someone. A doctor had him transported to a hospital against his will, handcuffed to a gurney.

Some reports are claiming that he was hospitalized for exhaustion and dehydration.

While they might try to minimize the incident by characterizing it that way, it is naive to think that Kanye West’s condition will be cured with a nice long nap and a couple of glasses of water.

Kanye is mentally ill, had a complete breakdown, threatened to physically harm someone, was involuntarily hospitalized on a psychiatric hold, and is now on suicide watch.

From Radar Online:

Hospitalized Kanye West on Suicide Watch:

‘He Is Paranoid & Hallucinating’

kanye-jayzKanye West‘s bizarre breakdown is much more serious than mere exhaustion, RadarOnline.com can exclusively report.

The erratic rapper is on suicide watch after being rushed to the hospital yesterday afternoon in Los Angeles, sources have revealed to Radar.

In addition, treatment professionals placed West, 39, under a 5150 psychiatrist hold once firemen transported him to medical care.

According to California law, a 5150 occurs when a “person, as a result of a mental health disorder, is a danger to others or to himself.”

“He was crazy and delusional,” an insider told Radar. “He is having hallucinations, and is paranoid.”

The father of two, who hadn’t slept in days, was “screaming” that people were trying to kill him.

As Radar previously reported, LAPD officers responded to a “medical emergency” at 1:20 pm pst yesterday.

West’s behavior in recent days has been shocking, even for the typically outlandish entertainer.

He blew up on stage over the weekend, blaming friends Jay Z and Beyonce for “hurting” him, before canceling the remainder of his tour.

And from TMZ:

Dr. Says Kanye West Tried to Assault Staff … Warned of Violence Against Cops

kanye-eyesKanye West’s personal physician is the one who called 911, warning the dispatcher Kanye was not violent but would become violent when police arrived to help him.

Law enforcement sources tell us, the call came in as a male with mental illness. Dr. Michael Farzam said his patient’s name was “Jim Jones, 39 years old, 5’8”, 175 lbs … suffers from temporary psychosis due to sleep deprivation and dehydration.”According to the police report the doctor told cops he had placed Kanye on a 5150 psychiatric hold and wanted him taken to UCLA Medical Center. We’re told there’s an issue over whether the doctor actually placed Kanye on a 5150.

The report goes on to say Dr. Farzam told police Kanye had attempted to assault a staff member at the gym.

We’re told Kanye was handcuffed to the stretcher because it’s protocol when cops are told someone is on a 5150 hold.

It will be interesting to see where Kanye goes after the initial 72-hour hold.

It will also be interesting to see who takes legal control of Kanye’s medical treatment – and his very considerable fortune – in the months ahead!

We wish Kanye well in his recovery.

    • I agree…when are these men going to learn? Good for Reggie Bush and Chris Humphries…they got out alive.

  4. Musician: Gotta be Kanye West
    Famliy: Kardasians

    Slip a little Xanax into his smoothie? Or something. keep him away from the kids. This must be very scary for them. And probably for him as well.

    • I mean, his doctor was there with him and called 911 because he was sleep deprived and dehydrated? I’m no doctor, but…sedative shot and IV fluids? Is it really necessary to call 911 in those circumstances? Unless there is much more to the story.

  6. Easy… Kanye and the 6 fingers pointing could easily be Kim, Kris, Kylie, Kendall, Khloe, Kourtney.

  12. Kayne West. It’s hard to be in this position, we should all pray for this family, I do not wish this on anyone. I Have seen this and it takes time for the person to get better, they have to work the program and change friends.

  14. Absolutely Kanye with the Kardashians–key point being not protect HIS finances, THEIR finances. And how many families have their own “brand”?

    As much as we like to hate Kanye, this isn’t funny anymore. He’s mentally ill and this screams untreated bipolar.

    Just like Amanda Bynes wasn’t funny, this isn’t funny either.

    • I totally agree. While I think most people see an egomaniacal jerk, I truly think he is mentally ill and needs help. While it’s possible that he has narcissistic personality disorder, I see symptoms of bipolar too, which I know all too well because my mom had it. Many bipolar sufferers are brilliant creative people, but it can be a devastating illness. I truly hope he gets help and gets away from that evil family.

    [Optional] If you were his friend or family member, what would you do? Get him help without trying to rob him blind, and seek more fame from off of someone who is clearly unwell.

    Dang that is some shady business – when will people stop giving a platform to the kardashians?

  19. Kanye!
    It was slightly suspicious that pictures of Saint were released and there didn’t seem to be a big payday for the pics…

  22. Kanye and the Kardashians.

    He really needs to get a divorce before they can take control of his life and finances. No men ever do well in this family. Just ask Scott, Lamar and Rob. Then he needs to get himself the help he clearly needs

    • Took the words right out of my mouth. He’s a narcissist and therefore hard to take (he lost me after the 2nd album when the fame went to his head) but the K’so only look out for themselves so there’s no one in his corner, especially since his mother died. They’ll follow their same M.O. and make him look crazy and make Kim look like the angelic victim just like they did Scott and ice queen Kourtney. That’s what you get when you go for looks over substance.

    • He was bipolar before he met Kim. You can’t just catch bipolar disorder- you are born with it. He “married” Kim to boost his fading presence in the media and she just does anything & everything for the cameras. So they both had their own dumb self-serving agendas. But bipolar disorder- like any mental disorder or sickness- left untreated, will just get worse. And that’s sadly what’s happening with him now.

    • Also, if this is about Kanye, the situation off camera must be pretty dire for them to try and seek a psych hold and ways to not leave him alone with the kids! that’s scary! He is scary. Imagine asking anything of Kanye that he wouldn’t like or want to do! Or telling him you think he needs help! Ha! Toddler tantrums are expected, but 40 year old man tantrums would be just terrifying.

    Family: Kardashians

    [Optional] If you were his friend or family member, what would you do? Tough love – that’s all you can do.

  28. Kanye West ??

    kim’s been friends with him for over a decade & most importantly, he’s the father of her kids, so I have no doubt she’ll do her best for him… to the extent that she can.

  31. Kanye and the Kardashian Family

    He is never going to change. Kim should go ahead and dump him. The fortune teller told her this marriage is not going to last. He can move to France and live in peace with his boyfriend. At least if he is out of the picture, Kim can stop wearing those awful clothes that he dresses her in thinking that he is a designer.

    • I knew something was up when Khloe came out on the Today show to talk about how she was banned from speaking at Kim and Kanye’s wedding. Just a distraction to keep us from the real issues.

  45. Kanye should have been helped a long time ago, but unfortunately his “family” saw dollar signs instead of warning signs.

    • If they won’t even help Rob you can be sure his “shamily” won’t help him either. Man eaters, the whole lot of them.

    Family: Kardashians

    Optional: I would make sure that I documented all the instances of difficult behavior which points to mental illness: any symptoms of manic behavior, grandiose thinking, proclamations of being God, proclamations of controlling the world, inappropriate spending, being dangerous around the children, suicidality, homicidality, etc. I would have a psychiatrist on-call to me. (The K. family can afford this.) Know the line and commit him to a…

    As a counselor working in behavioral health insurance, a fraction of our hospital admissions are due to safety issues. Most are due to bizarre behaviors. A vast majority are involuntary. If Kanye wasn’t famous but rather homeless or the poor of Chicago, chances are he would be a step away from being admitted.

  50. Kante and Kim

    Its happened twice in my family. Nothing you can do except cut off support. Once he/she is homeless, and arrested for loitering etc. the courts won’t order treatment. Its excrutiating. My mother was able to get one relative disability and public housing benefits. In order to do that she had to lie (uncle wouldn’t sign papers so she illegally forged them). Second relative is still a question… don’t know what to do.

    • BTW – I want all of those names to disappear from our daily vocabulary and media. Their 15 minutes should have been over ages ago!!!

  64. Kanye West

    Kardashians

    They are not his family though. Only Kim and kids.
    He is not 51/50. They are sick ppl.

  68. I thought kayne, but weren’t the kardashians dissing him in public, worried he is costing them money in that other blind, thinking of cutting him loose…or am I remembering wrong?

  69. Kayne West and The Kardashians. I hope they’re actually concerned for his mental health. He seems to be going off his rockers more than usual.

  71. Kanye Kardashian and the Kardashian Klan
    Kongrats Kanye for personifying the tired stereotype of the “crazy, dangerous Black man”. Kanye isn’t mentally ill, he is a raging Grade A narcissistic a**clown. Period. End of. Instead of a 5150, he needs a good slapping from Donda West (RIP). She must be shaking her head at what a damn fool her son has become.

  74. Musician: Kanye West

    Family: Kardashians

    [Optional] If you were his friend or family member, what would you do? I would try and get him some private therapy.

  79. Kanye and the HoTrashians

    I wouldn’t do anything. Let him continue ride the A train to CrazyTown

  81. Of course this is Kanye West. and of course that Kreepy Kardashian family is trying to get control of him.

    This could have been the plan from the start. Get control of his assets. What they don’t realize is that he DOES have people who care about him, and I hope they will not let this family take control of him. I do not like Kanye, but he doesn’t stand a chance if left at their mercy.

  92. Kanye West
    Kardashian family
    As big of a jerk Kanye is, it’s sad to see how quick this family turns on and completely trashes the men in their lives.

  96. Kanye West. It is clear that he is mentally unstable. Hopefully his wife and family are careful, especially because the children. And maybe Taylor Swift should be careful too, because he is obsessed with her since 2009 and it is only getting worse.
