Kim co-hosts ‘Live With Kelly’ on Jan. 23 and says it’s crazy that people think she only married Kris for money!
Kim Kardashian is coming out swinging to defend her 72-day-marriage. The reality star spoke in-depth for the first time about why her marriage to Kris Humphries ended in divorce. When Kelly Ripa tells her that most people believe Kim married Kris for the cameras, Kim gets very upset!
“If you really think about it, I would hope this is fake and someone wouldn’t go through this,” Kim says. “Me being a hopeless romantic, I wanted it to work so badly and I made all that money and the wedding was fake and just for TV? I’m a smart woman! I would have stayed married longer!”
Kim says she’s actually hurt that so many people attacked her after she filed for divorce and she doesn’t find it hard to watch her marriage currently unravel on Kourtney and Kim Take New York.
“It doesn’t make sense. I didn’t think following my heart would create this much backlash,” she says. “I watch it back because it’s therapeutic. It’s crazy to see, to see [Kourtney and Scott] and what they’re talking about, about me. How different I was the past couple of months … they felt what I was feeling too.”
But does Kim think she’ll ever tie the knot again?
“I’m a hopeless romantic,” she says. “I fell in love and I thought it could work. I think I learned that I need to re-write my fairy tale. I definitely tried everything I felt I could. You hear stories of people who have kids and had this life and it ended up not working out. I want babies … I want that forever love and I just felt like, if I feel in my heart this isn’t right, then why wait years for the same result.”

I am sorry, but if you care about where you live and how you can’t do something then you need to be by yourself. Marriage should not change nothing but your last name. She talks like she never saw him or something, shoot I am a military wife been married 5 months now and I am 22. Come on Kim get out of fairy tale land. Trust me you had it easy, we have to sit here and wonder if ours is coming back home or not.
I don’t know how she felt or if everything was real, but giving up or not making those couple decisions will lead you to the single life. I think she should stay single until she knows what she wants and how to make the right decisions when it comes to two people being married and having a family.

I think she must have loved him at some point to even get this wedding idea. But i also think that she knew before the wedding this just isn’t it, but she decided to pull it of – in the end it paid off:)

I think they gave up too soon.
Or actually if she didn’t spend her wedding planning focused on trying to make it similar/better the Royal Wedding maybe she could focus on what it should have been about… LOVE.
And if they are so sick of people trashing their personal lives then they need to TURN THE CAMERAS OFF.

EPIC FAIL! Kim must have comedy writers.
Humphries is probably wishing he had a neurolyer pen from the Men in Black movie to erase his memory of Kim right about now.

The first statement Kim made after filing for divorce was that she knew she should not have married Kris but she did not want to dissapoint many people. Unlike Kim, Kris said that he still loved his wife very much and would do anything to make it work after Kim filed for divorce. Comparing those two statements, you can see that Kris truly loved Kim and Kim did it for her reality show. Sorry to disappoint Lisa, but Kim is a famewh0re. Oh, and a moron. Definitely a moron, she got caught faking scenes and her episodes are not shown in the correct order (she does have full editorial control, afterall). Famewh0re, moron, stupid, greedy, porn star defines Kim KarTRA$Hian

Marriage is NOT a “fairytale.” It’s waking up next to a spouse who has morning breath and is not always going to say, “yes, I agree” to everything you say. It’s more than 72 days! It’s not going to Mommy over everything — it’s talking things out with the one to whom you said you’d be with… It’s GROWING UP, which is something that I’m afaid Kim K has not done. I watched parts of the show today, and to tell you the truth, she has the personality of a wet dishrag.

So in the NEXT EPISODE, Kris says “I’m over her. I’m ready to get a divorce”. What happened to being blindsided? He’s such a liar. Divorce is against his religion but he said it so casually. What a moron.

wouldnt boycotting her require you to stop clicking on articles that have her name….it seems the people who hate this woman soooooo much and want to “boycott” her are the ones who are obsessed about her life the most. You took the time out of your life to read and comment something about kim kardashian. lol I DONT THINK YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT BOYCOTT MEANS IDIOT???

Okay, boycott means cutting off the financial means from deceptive greedy marketing machines.
If you don’t financially support their sponsors, all benefits cease and they the institution is no longer. Look it up.
Participating in discussion, which could impact the celebritard in question negatively, is free and she does not make any money from this discussion.

Thanks Truth for explaining what BOYCOTT means to one of the K’s moronic fans….I never reply to them when their silly comments are directed at my comment. Don’t waste my time with the feeble minded.

What did you expect for Kim say on Live with Kelly? Kim did not mention Kris Humphries name not once on the show. This is all BS, she did not want him.

It IS possible Kris showed her a differnt side to him.. remember they only knew each other 6 months. Ive had teh same thing happen. Although I didnt get married.. but u see the good the first few months. Guys give up and the REAL guy comes out. Why waste time if deep down u know it wont last yrs? Just because of your image to the public? Or your friends? WHO CARES! You guys arent married to Kris! How can you judge her! What if he slapped her around in private then what? Should she stay married too? He seems like a child. Shes smart. I bet none of you girls are millionaires. Who cares how she made it. She did it! AND??? If u hate her so much stop reading this stuff. Im not a fan of hers but i can relate to loving a guy sooooo much but knowing deep down it wont work.

Just when you think this limelight whore has sunk down to the depths of stupidity — she comes up (with the help of the dopey writers on the E network) with this crap for her equally-dumb fans to believe. You can’t make this sh*t up!!

No you can’t make this sh*t up Robocop! I am dumbfounded at this level of stupidity! It’s scary that her cult-like followers actually believe this.

Shes lying!! you can see in the show how little she cared abt Kris.. And that attitude she had with Khloe shows her true colors. I think she just used the fact that she didnt want to be married to Kris as an excuse when she apologized to Khloe.

Kim did not love Kris Humphries. If she loved him, they would still be married.

I agree! You don’t fall out of love in 72 days, in a hotel, with two adults and one baby! Sign the petition at boycottkim.com and hope she fades away for ever!!
