Kim Kardashian Divorce Finally Settled: Kris Humphries Comes out the Loser
After a 72 day marriage, the divorce
proceeding between reality star Kim Kardashian and Brooklyn Nets forward Kris
Humphries took nearly a year and a half to resolve. But at last, it has been
settled. Not surprisingly, Humphries came out the big loser.
Humphries was initially seeking $7 million, an annulment,
and attorney’s fees. However, the settlement he has signed will get him none of
that. He gets no money, the marriage will not be annulled, and he must pay his
own attorney fees. He does play in the NBA, so it’s not as if he can’t afford
his lawyer.
When Kardashian filed for divorce less than 3 months into
their marriage, Humphries sought the annulment due to a belief that the
marriage was a fraud entered into by Kardashian to boost the ratings and
popularity of her reality show, “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.”
However, sources close to Humphries indicated that in recent
weeks, he has come to realize that it would be extremely difficult to prove the
marriage was a fraud. In addition, their divorce trial was scheduled to begin
in a few weeks. If the Brooklyn Nets advance beyond the first round of the
playoffs, the trial would keep him out of action. Right now, his primary focus
is on the playoffs, not his bitter divorce with Kardashian.
