Kim Kardashian Divorce: Paranoid Reality TV Star Terrified to Lose Fame Over Divorce Backlash
The divorce between Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries and its blame keeps swinging back and forth, and now a friend of the reality star revealed that Kardashian is terrified of disappearing from the public eye.
The reasons behind the divorce remain unclear, with Kardashian’s ex-publicist claiming that she staged the whole thing to get extra media exposure, which subsequently resulted in her suing him for false accusations and defending her marriage.
A friend who claims to be close to Kardashian recently shared otherwise with RadarOnline.
“Kim has been telling her inner circle that she has worked very hard to get where she has, and she isn't going to let her marriage and subsequent decision to divorce Kris Humphries ruin that,” said the source to RadarOnline.
Her NBA-star husband at first refused to sign the divorce papers, which could have dragged out the situation even further, but then changed his mind and decided to give Kardashian what she wanted. The couple even met with the priest that married them to try to resolve their issues, but even that was not enough to persuade Kardashian to drop her divorce appeal.
Several online petitions are trying to take Kardashian off television, and more than 130,000 people have signed them. However, according to the source, the reality star is staying put.
“Of course she is sad, but it's all about Kim's endorsement deals and paid promotional appearances. There were reports that Kim was going to lay low after she filed for divorce, yet several days later, she was in Atlanta shooting a role in the movie, The Marriage Counselor,” the source continued.
“Kim will be ringing in New Year's Eve in Las Vegas. The fact is Kim is extremely insecure, and she is truly afraid that if she were to disappear from the public eye, for even more than a week, her fame would disappear,” the star added.
