Report: Kim Kardashian Used Kris Humphries To Boost K&KTNY Ratings

December 1, 2011 by Hollywoodite

Kim Kardashian is being accused of fraud; fraudulently getting into the relationship in the first place after being pimped by E!, fraudulently entering marriage when she had doubts, and fraudulently marrying for money and ratings.

According to TMZ.com’s sources, Kardashian used Kris Humphries as a disposable plot point on Kourtney & Kim Take New York and once the check cleared from the shill wedding, she had no more use for him.

Sources very close to Kris Humphries tell TMZ: Kris is gunning for an annulment based on fraud because he feels “he was just slotted in the plot line of Kim Kardashian’s latest headline and newest business venture.”

Kris believes Kim never intended to stay married to him, but needed a groom to fuel ratings for her show. One source says, “Once they were finished taping, she just didn’t need a groom anymore.”

Kris is telling people he feels like a pawn in the game.

And Kris is outraged by people who think he was in on the wedding scam. According to one friend, “He would have never flown in his childhood pastor to marry them and involve his church.”

Finally, Kris feels Kim’s own statement that she posted on her blog is a smoking gun. Specifically: “I felt like I was on a fast roller coaster and couldn’t get off when now I know I probably should have. I got caught up in the hoopla and the filming of the TV show.” – via TMZ.

The source “very close to Kris Humphries” is either one of his parents or siblings, right? His father spoke to Life & Style, and accused Kardashian of being a duplicitous and callous. Well, it’s someone in his camp who’s acting as a mouthpiece.

Humphries sources have been running to everyone: L&S, RadarOnline.com, TMZ.com, HollywoodLife.com, Star Magazine, and others; while the Kardashians are relying on tabloids like, Us Weekly, and their shows.

It’s pretty clear Humphries feels used.

According to reports, producers went out of their way to stage situations to provoke a reaction. Then they edited him, after the divorce papers were filed, to make him the series scapegoat.

Humphries was pretty much a disposable husband, necessitated by Kardashian’s age and the expectations placed on her “story.” A wedding fit and, had she got pregnant, a martyr single mother story would have done as filler.
