Kim Kardashian: It's Your Own Fault Your Divorce Is Turning Into a War

Posted: 12/01/11 09:29 PM ET

Kim, your "team's" slash-and-burn-Kris-Humphries'-reputation tactics have backfired. Here's how you "forced" him into seeking an annulment, and why you can't give in to him now or you'll be sorry.

Kim Kardashian, when you blindsided Kris Humphries by filing for divorce on Oct. 31 and then jetting off to Australia the same day, you were asking for trouble.

You may not have anticipated just how shocked, hurt, and embarrassed Kris would be, but you have to admit now that maybe having your divorce papers leaked onto TMZ the same day that your mother Kris Jenner started to promote her new book, Kris Jenner... And All Things Kardashian, and then leaving the country, wasn't the best idea.

You may have thought that you discussed divorce with Kris, but clearly he didn't think you were going to pull the trigger just like that, nor did he expect to suddenly start reading online that he was solely responsible for the marriage breakdown.

I can remember clearly that the first stories that appeared online about the divorce, with "sources" close to you or your family, blamed Kris for becoming a "fame hog," hiring his own PR person and trying to get paid for making appearances and for representing brands, just like you.

Then the celebrity newsweeklies came out, and Kris was painted as the "Husband From Hell" on the US Weekly cover. He supposedly called you "fat" and "stupid," and there were implications that he had borderline physically abused you.

Finally, Kris would have watched the premiere of Kourtney & Kim Take New York, in which he was portrayed as a jerk who deserved to be divorced.

You have to understand, Kim, that this has been slap after slap to Kris. And the guy is still probably in shock. He did just marry you on Aug. 20th, in front of his family's pastor Joel Johnson, and for better or worse, I bet he truly believed he had signed on to a marriage with you forever.

Even if you are a hopeless romantic, like you've said, and truly believed at the wedding that you were marrying Kris for life but that Kris immediately turned into Mr. Hyde after the honeymoon, your husband could still have expected that you would at least try and work through your problems and issues.

You have to concede that he might be stunned that you weren't even willing to try counseling, and that he is probably reeling from the public attacks on his character. You have to be able to see how he could believe that you just "used" him as a prop in a made-for-TV wedding show and TV series.

No matter how innocent you may be, Kim, and how sincerely you may believe that Kris didn't turn out to be the man of your dreams, you have to see that your actions could have goaded him into filing an annulment based on fraud.

By fraud, Kris means that you tricked him into a fake marriage with the intent of it never being a real marriage. He's likely so shocked by everything that's happened that he really believes there was fraud.

I believe, Kim, that you thought that you had an airtight prenup that protected all your assets and that barely gave Kris a dime. You thought your divorce would be quick and easy.

But a man scorned can be just as intent on revenge as any woman, and you have an ex who feels totally burnt by you, your family and team.

He doesn't want to let you divorce him so easily, and he may want money for revenge.

Click fore more Kim.

This ex porn star is nothing more than a lying scammer. She and her greedy mother use their young fans for profit, if they can get away with it. The state Attorney general once had to legally stop them from issuing a credit card that would have charged exhorbitant carrying charges, they used Kris H as a prop for her "fake" wedding use children in sweat shops to make their tacky products paying them pennies for hard labor. KIm K is not a good role model and not a good person, lying, scamming, selling sex and duping everyone in sight. Now, she's going to appear with Kelly Ripa as a co host. I am not watching and I can't believe ABC would have someone with this long history of being a lying scammer on the show. Kim K need to stick to making sex tapes.

Marriage is hard work. I'm sure there have been lots of people who get married and then think "oh crap, this is hard, what did I do, and is this what I really want?" but when you say vows you're promising for better or worse. I can't imagine starting a new marriage while living with your sister and having your every move taped. Add in a selfish spoiled brat like Kim and no wonder it didn't work. I feel for Kris. I married someone who bailed the same way Kim did when things get a little bit too hard for him. Kris will find someone much better and Kim will end up alone. What goes around comes around so they say.

Kim Kardashian and her mother are the epitome of greed. The millions in their bank accounts keep multiplying with every publicity hoax but it never seems to be enough. Kim's special limited edition "wedding fragrance" is on sale. Add it to the list of 2011 Horrible Christmas Gifts, along side the shake it weight, and meatloaf pan!

Well said. Kim acts like a spoiled brat who is willing to compromise as long as she gets what she wants. There was no compromise with Kim it was always her way or divorce. I feel for Kris, he really seemed to love Kim. He will move on from this and settle down and have a family. Kim lost a good one!

Kris seems like someone who loves to tease and sometimes takes it too far. I dated someone like that and he genuinely didn't know that his teasing could sometimes hurt feelings and felt terrible that he hurt anyone. Perhaps Kim should have taken some time and had a private and adult conversation with Kris and told him how some of his comments could be hurtful. When she brought this up in front of the cameras she was whiney and childish and Kris responded the same. And of course he was defensive. He thought he was kidding around and she overly dramatic and sensitive. All their interactions were taped. Imagine having to constantly be careful about how you act and what you say to people. Probably a lot of pressure for Kris who already seemed very new to a serious relationship. Yes they probably should never have married but they did and should have made at least some effort to make the marriage work and respected the vows they took. How childish for Kim to decide she just doesn't feel like taking the time to make the effort. Yeah...I've thought way too much about this...:)

I see your point but he never pretended to be anyone but himself. Way before the marriage, She cracked up even after he told her "if you really love me you'll eat this food in my mouth" and let him spit it in her mouth. There wasn't any consideration of his needs as a newly wed. The couple moved in with her family members and filmed the show. Who does that unless you don't have the money for your own place? It is all too contrived to be anything but scripted!

I definitely don't think this was a scam or anything other than a bad decision, but I think an annulment sounds like a good plan, although I would not bring fraud into it. She herself said she realized it was a mistake. I say if it is legally doable, then just undo it as much as possible...and let this stand as perhaps the tipping point where young women realize that an extravagent wedding is not the best way to start a marriage, and that a simpler, happier, less stressful and less expensive wedding is much more the way to go. And give those wedding presents back as much as you can, or give them to a charity if the givers do not want them back.

There are limited reasons for annulment. The others are bigamy, incest, force or being under age, none of which will apply. Fraud is the the only way an annulment will happen and it may be a long shot at best.

If he wants the annulment, he's got an uphill climb, but claiming fraud is his only recourse. There is speculation that the reason he wants an annulment is because it invalidates the pre-nup which has a confidentiality clause which prevents him from speaking about the marriage at all.

This is why I tell my kids never to appear on a reality show. They can decide what your character and story arc is going to be, shoot hundreds of hours of video and pick out the few minutes here and there that support the direction they want the show to go in and the conclusions they want to manipulate the audience to reach.

In this case though, the public seems to be on to the whole thing. They want Kris to look bad, so they will and it's easy to see it now that people have caught on to these tactics. Maybe this is the beginning of the end of reality tv, or at least of the audience believing in the "reality" of it.

What makes YOU so sure Kris Humphries is so innocent? Would you want your daughter or your sister to be with someone who tries to abandon his wife in another state so he can "get in a better workout"? There is NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER that he was anything but the way he is portrayed on the show (what do you think they did, used computer animation to make it look like he was acting like a bigger jerk thgan he really was?! Hate to diaspoint you, but THAT WAS REALLY HIM!!!! Use your Head, Don't be such a Hater.

No, nothing at all. She's pretty much a waste of skin.

Kim did the right thing by kicking him to the curb.

Kris really needs a better publicist. He could have trounced on Kim while dismissing the rumors he was gay at the same time. Instead he just looked kind of sad. The Kardashians waged war, I don't think he is a very quick young man.
08:21 PM on 12/04/2011
Um......yes....he could have "trounced on Kim"........BUT.......
his lack of an "immediate response".....just goes to show....
how much CLASS this young man has.......vs.....how much
Kim K ...... does NOT.

With Kim's money, she can get someone smarter than her. But with her momager, he wouldn't be selected.
01:39 PM on 12/02/2011
She really is so ridiculous! And yet I still read these articles about the whole thing....she is definitely "doing too much" with this split and yet when is she not "doing too much". Well..looks like this article is going to have to be added to the Kim K must reads lol > http://www.skinnyscoop.com/list/claudia/keeping-up-with-kim-ks-wedding

Naw buddy, don't be fooled, a "Kardashian" deal went with that ring, either a discount for publicity or she agreed to pay for some of it herself (she is financially worth and making way more than him--seriously, google it, I couldn't believe it either), or something to that effect. I'll give it to their momager----she has a gift for making things happen for those girls.

Steve, I'm surprised you didn't know that both engagement & wedding rings were donated by a sponsor.

As far as doing alright, next tot he average wrking guy, sure. But he wasn't exactly a household name
before hooking up with the K's.

More stories to get people to watch their Show on Sunday. Bonnie owns a blog so she has a conflict of interest. All these stories are on purpose and that purpose is to get you invested in them. The more you read, comment or buy, the more likely you will watch their show this Sunday. Because they got YOU INVESTED. Momma and K sisters tweet to all the kids out there to watch their show just before it airs. Lets make Sunday a no Twitter Day so the kids can't be brainwashed. Take care of your own family.

SUNDAY IS BOYCOTT KARDASHIAN DAY AND TWITTER FREE DAY. Spread the word.

I agree with you. It is unfortunate that Kim appears not to see her behavior and being part of the problem.
11:28 AM on 01/01/2012
Who is she supposed to learn that from? Kris Jenner?
