Former 'Friends' actor calls for Kanye's removal from social media after the rapper posted a series of controversial tweets praising Nazi and making accusations against Jews.

AceShowbiz - David Schwimmer has joined the growing chorus of voices demanding the removal of Kanye West from social media platform X. In a scathing Instagram post, the "Friends" actor condemned West's recent spate of antisemitic tweets, calling for stronger action against the rapper.
"We can't stop a deranged bigot from spewing hate-filled, ignorant bile… but we CAN stop giving him a megaphone, Mr. Musk," Schwimmer wrote, addressing X owner Elon Musk directly. "Kanye West has 32.7 million followers on your platform, X. That's twice as many people than the number of Jews in existence. His sick hate speech results in REAL LIFE violence against Jews."
Schwimmer expressed disbelief that West remains on the platform despite his repeated violations of community guidelines.
"I don't know what's worse, the fact that he identifies as a Nazi (which implies he wants to exterminate ALL marginalized communities including his own) or the fact that there is not sufficient OUTRAGE to remove and ban him from all social media at this point," he wrote. "Silence is complicity."
In one of his unfiltered posts, Kanye West wrote, "I don't like or trust no Jewish person," and praised Adolf Hitler. "I'm racist. Stereotypes exist for a reason and they all be true. You can get money with Jewish people but they always gonna steal and invite you over to they house on Friday (sic)," he penned in another.
He also claimed that "Jewish people actually hate white people and use black people," adding, "I love Hitler. Now what b*****s. I'm never apologizing for my Jewish comments."
He also made disturbing comments about his wife, Bianca Censori, asserting his "dominion" over her and suggesting that she should not listen to "dumb a** broke b*****s."
These latest outbursts follow West's previous ban from X, which was lifted earlier this year. His history of inflammatory and offensive statements, including past antisemitic remarks, has drawn widespread condemnation and calls for him to be held accountable for his words.
Schwimmer's plea highlights the urgent need for social media platforms to take a stronger stance against hate speech and hold individuals accountable for their harmful rhetoric.
