Kim Kardashian’s Rollercoaster Wedding

Ever since Kimberly Kardashian and Kris Humphries said “I do,” many people speculated that their marriage would not work. Those people were correct.
Courtney Hazlett, of The Scoop, reported that, “Kim K filed for divorce Monday from her husband and she’s citing the cause as “irreconcilable differences,” and lists the day of separation as Oct. 31, 2011.”
“After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage,” Kardashian said, “I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision. I had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don’t work out as planned. We remain friends and wish each other the best.”
It seems as if Kim’s decision took Humphries by surprise. Sheila Marikar, ABC News, reported that he put out a statement Monday afternoon saying, “I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce.”
“I’m committed to this marriage and everything this covenant represents,” he added. “I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make it work.”
A few weeks ago, Kardashian told People magazine that, “Their first days of marriage were not ideal, but her mom, Kris Jenner, claimed that the couple was working on their problems.”
Kardashian has not yet tweeted or really said anything about her divorce, but that hasn’t stopped her family members.
“We appreciate everyone’s kindness and support. @KimKardashian, we love you,” her older sister, Kourtney Kardashian tweeted. She added in another message, “Our sister is going through a difficult time but we’re a close family and are sticking together like always.
Kim, who is currently in Australia to promote her Kardashian Collection handbags, speaks about her divorce, and how she would never marry for fame.
While speaking on the Kyle and Jackie O show on November 2, 2011, she insisted that she truly married for love and is stunned that she has to defend herself against all accusations.
“I do want to make clear that I would never marry for a TV show, for money or anything like that,” said Kim. “I think it’s really ridiculous that I have and defend that. I guess that’s what comes along when you film your wedding for a reality show.”
“They did stay together 72 days longer than most reality TV couples do,” said Jennifer L. Pozner, the author of “Reality Bites Back: The Troubling Truth About Guilty Pleasure TV.
“This divorce is useful in interrupting reality TV’s extremely shallow emphasis on the ‘perfect fairy tale wedding’ narrative you hear over and over,” she added.
Kim certainly makes it clear that she is not ready to date yet, explaining on-air: “I am a hopeless romantic, I’m in love with the dream of what all of that represents, but I think my answer now would be different. I’m just like I don’t know if that’s what’s on the cards for me… maybe that’s not what my life is supposed to be right now.”
In the closing words, “Kim laid it on pretty thick with a reference to her dead father,” reported Lanford Beard, Entertainment Weekly. “I’m sorry if I have hurt anyone,” she admitted. “But my dad always told me to follow my heart and I believe now that I really am.”
