Aussie Meet and Greet …
Kim Kardashian filed for divorce on October 31 and then boarded a charter flight to Australia where she gave her first post-breakup television interview.
Traveling with her sister and brother-in-law, Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom, the trio did a meet and greet and then Kim sat down for an interview that gravitated immediately to the 72-day failed marriage that has the entire world buzzing.
The family is currently doing damage control, with mom Kris Jenner spending the bulk of her book tour promo appearances defending her daughter.
Kim K and company are denying that the wedding was a television sham that was orchestrated to provide considerable financial gain for the reality star and huge ratings for their reality shows and the two-episode E! fairytale wedding special.
During the Aussie interview, Kim was asked why she hadn’t tried marriage counseling before taking the drastic step to file for divorce. She responded, “I listened to my intuition and followed my heart.”
On the subject of what really motivated her to get hitched in such a public way, she got teary-eyed with a quietly spoken response, “I would never marry for a TV show or money.”
Kicked to the curb NBA player Kris Humphries is reportedly still dazed and clueless about why he was given the Kardashian boot.
Check out what Kim had to say on Australian television yesterday. She also posted a lengthy explanation for her fans:
