Let’s face it: the only authentic thing Kim Kardashian ever produced was a sex tape. So it surprised absolutely no one when she filed for divorce from New Jersey Nets player Kris Humphries just 72 days after their so-called ‘marriage,’ for lack of a better word.
If you’ve ever been unfortunate enough to stumble upon the E! network, you know who the Kardashians are, don’t deny it. From the original “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” to any of the 57 other spin-offs, like “Kourtney and Kim Take New York,” the whole Kardashian Clan has aired its dirty designer laundry for all to see.
When the season finale of “Kourtney and Kim Take New York” aired last Monday, fans and foes alike finally got a glimpse of just what caused Kim to file for divorce from her NBA hubby so hastily.
First, she claims she doesn’t want her own husband to move his mere 15 boxes of possessions into her million-dollar mansion because there simply isn’t enough room. Puh-lease, Kim! We all know the real reason there isn’t any room is because your ego is just as big as your ample— oh, never mind.
Then she cried tears as fake as her plastic surgery, sobbing how she feels ‘dead inside’ and how she’s “failed” her marriage. But I can’t help but wonder if that empty feeling is really just her complete lack of concern for anyone but herself.
OK, that was a bit harsh. I am by no means claiming that Kim Kardashian is a soulless person. Kim, I am sure that behind the inch of makeup and designer clothes, you indeed have a heart capable of love. But until you realize the world does not revolve around you—no matter how much E! Entertainment Television inexplicably does — you will never be happily married.
Marriages take work, plain and simple. And if you put half as much effort into your marriage as you do into your appearance, you might still be married to ‘that guy from Minnesota’ as you oh-so respectfully referred to him. When you take your vows and say ‘forever,’ that’s not short for ‘until the wedding check clears.’ If you’re getting paid to torture viewers with 4 hours of your excessively lavish wedding, the least you could do is have a marriage that felt like it lasted just as long.
So, Kim, I hope you realize that marriage is not a publicity stunt or a way to make fast cash. It’s a full-time job that might actually require you to quit your current ‘job’ as a reality star and live in the real world for a change. It’s not too late to try and make things work with your husband. But if you don’t, save us the trouble and don’t broadcast your “Not-So-Fairytale Divorce” on E!
