Kim Kardashian took the hot seat next to Kelly Ripa as the co-host of Live! With Kelly on Monday. As expected, she used the opportunity to talk about her 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries.
Kelly pointed out that Kardashian critics believe the marriage was all about business and had nothing to do with love and commitment.
Kim explained, “If you really think about it, if the marriage was a business decision, and I really made all that money that everyone was claiming that we made off this wedding, and if the wedding was fake and just for TV … I’m a smart business woman. I would have stayed married longer.”
Kim sarcastically added, “This was a bad business decision. If you really think about it, it doesn’t make sense.”
She told Ripa that immediately after filing for divorce she went to the home of her parents Kris and Bruce Jenner with two pair of sweatpants and a pair of pajamas. Even now when she isn’t traveling she splits her time between her family home and sister Kourtney’s.
Kim continues to believe in fairytale endings and clings to the “hopeless romantic” label that causes most people to roll their eyes. She is emphatic about one thing, she is still shocked by the backlash over the divorce.
Ironically, Kelly R and Nick Lachey dressed up as bride Kim and groom Kris for their Halloween show on the very morning that Kim filed for divorce- photos here.
