**Kanye West Holds Hours of Private Footage Showing Him Berating Kim Kardashian, Sources Say She’s ‘Terrified’**

Kanye West is reportedly in possession of hours of private and abusive footage capturing him berating Kim Kardashian — and insiders tell RadarOnline.com that Kardashian is “terrified” the rapper could use the material to humiliate her.
The 48-year-old musician’s recently released documentary, *In Whose Name?*, has already shocked viewers with its raw portrayal of his volatile behavior during the breakdown of his six-year marriage to Kardashian, who is 44.
### Disturbing Footage Spanning Six Years
Filmed over six years by director Nico Ballesteros, the documentary reportedly includes more than 3,000 hours of footage. Some clips show West lashing out at family members and colleagues while Kardashian pleads for calm.
In one particularly intense moment, Kardashian is seen crying as West yells at a cousin who disagrees with his right-wing political views. The film has sparked widespread outrage and renewed questions about what other material West might still have in his possession.
### Kim Kardashian ‘Haunted’ by Private Footage
A source close to Kardashian revealed, “Kim’s fully aware that Kanye still has a huge amount of private footage — hours and hours of it — and it haunts her. He’s hinted before that he might use it, and she’s certain there are far worse clips than what made it into the documentary.
“She feels he’s using that as leverage to keep power over her.”
### ‘Genuinely Scared’ of Being Embarrassed
The insider added, “She’s genuinely scared he’ll release something just to embarrass her. Kim feels Kanye takes satisfaction in having that kind of power — it’s psychological warfare, and it’s exhausting her.”
For Kardashian, the documentary has reopened painful wounds from her marriage.
During a scene on *Keeping Up With the Kardashians* filmed after their split, she told her sister Kourtney, “I would always say how calm I am, and that’s my superpower.
“But my therapist felt like it’s a trauma response — of me remaining calm in living a life where I always have to be in this fight or flight mode.”
### Past Defense and Current Fears
Kardashian had long defended West publicly. In 2020, she described him as a “brilliant but complicated man,” asking for compassion as he struggled with bipolar disorder.
However, friends now say she fears his recent behavior has crossed a line.
Another source explained, “He’s still fixated on keeping control over her. During arguments, he’ll drop subtle reminders that he still has recordings or clips from when they were together.
“Kim may have left years ago, but it often feels like he’s still trying to possess her.”
### Concern for Their Children
Those close to Kardashian reveal her biggest fear is that their children — North (12), Saint (9), Chicago (7), and Psalm (6) — might one day see the material.
The source shared, “The idea of her children seeing their father shouting at her, or watching her fall apart on screen, is unbearable.
“She breaks down just thinking about it and worries about the version of events Kanye might try to create if he puts out more footage.”
### Kanye’s Controversial Behavior Continues
West, who married architect Bianca Censori in 2022, has become a lightning rod for controversy.
Earlier this year, he posted online that he had “dominion over” his wife and admitted to having “hit women” in the past. These comments reignited criticism over what campaigners characterize as “coercive control” in his relationships.
An insider commented, “He knows precisely how to play the situation to his advantage. This isn’t just about revenge — it’s about control.
“As long as he keeps that footage, Kim feels she’ll never truly be free of him.”
