Kris Humphries Files to Annul Kim Kardashian Marriage, Claims Fraud

Kris Humphries is officially ready to put his 72-day marriage to Kim Kardashian behind him.
On Wednesday, the NBA player, 26, answered Kardashian's October 31 divorce filing by seeking to annul their brief marriage on the grounds of fraud.
Submitting papers to the Superior Court, Humphries checked the boxes marked "nullity of voidable marriage" and "fraud." Like Kardashian, he listed the date of separation as October 31.
"The reason Kris is alleging 'fraud' is because the other options were ridiculous," a source close to Kardashian tells Us Weekly of his official filings. (Other grounds on which a marriage could be annulled include bigamy, incest or force.)

"The whole 'fraud' thing is ridiculous. If the marriage was a sham, he was in on it," continues the insider. "Did he not see the cameras or get a cut of whatever money was made? The marriage was real. It was just a terrible and unhappy one."
If Humphries gets his way, the couple will avoid divorce proceedings altogether. An ironclad prenuptial agreement guarantees that the 31-year-old reality starlet -- who wed Humphries in a lavish Montecito, Calif., ceremony Aug. 20 -- will hold onto all moneys earned during their marriage.

Friends of the pair told Us the sports star freeloaded off of his wife and put her down her during their whirlwind romance. "He belittled her in front of people," one insider said. "He tried to control Kim by bringing her down...He would say truly terrible things. One time, he said she had no talent and her fame wouldn't last."

Poor guy. Kim just wanted a fairytale wedding, not an actual marriage.
Kris isabsolutely right. What talent? smiing for the cmers? doing promtionals. We all know that Kris Jenner is the brains behind whatever little talent these girls have which is none. I feel so bad for the guys in relationsips with them, They are all a bunch of phonies. Maybe with the exception of Khloe. Who's just loud and obnixous.
Kim is talented in using men, any man and every man! and she loves to get paid...need I say more? Kris is talented in basketball. Too bad she made a fool of him in front of the world. I hope Kartrashian has to pay for the ring, return all the wedding gifts and the cash!
who else thinks Kimberly Keough is Kim Kardashian
Ya, I was wondering too what makes them all so special ?? No singing, no acting (except for that show they have which is a waste of air time), so what is it then ??
He was speaking the truth. She should have taken his advice. Celebrity fades--let alone celebrity based on a mere look or personality and no real talent. At the end of the day, its all pretty worthless. No one will remember her twenty years from now, so yeah, contributing to society in other ways would have been a good move for her.
Kimberly Keough, I watched the part of the show you're talking about and it was AFTER he came home and found a naked man in his house. The Kardashians will do anything for money. Kourtney airing her birth video, Kim airing her marriage. Nothing is scared anymore.
He isnt lying, what talent does she have?
Who cares, make all the Kardashians go away!!!!!
ok... here is the true story. Read this article https://spn.sr/Ans

I hope his big dopey ass takes her for everything he can get.
Jennifer D, did you not hear and see Kim physically abused Kris?Enough is enough! Kim think she can just get away with lying to her fans and now abuse? F*** that BIATCH!
I have to agree with Kim K. You all bash Kim as the gold digger, but Kim makes much more money than Kris could hope to--especially with being out of work right now. She obviously didn't marry for money, or for fame if she checked out that early; look at the reaction you have all had. Give them both a break, you don't know what happened when the cameras weren't on them.
It's good she got out noq, that is the tell tale signs of an abuser. First, they tell you not to wear make-up, how to dress, then he will call you names to bring down your self esteem. Tell you how bad your family is so you will not seek their counsel and get you to turn on your own family. Chloe was right to suspect him.
It's amusing that most people put this woman down and say she has no talent. She obviously has one hell of a business sense. She's loaded while everyone makes fun of her. I'm not a fan of this family but I can't deny the woman is smart----she knows how to make money!!
His marriage was a fraud . Kim has admitted that she knew she should not have married him, but she didn't want to let anyone own. She married him knowing she didn't love him.
Wow Kimberly you have issues just like your sex tape star idol. Sorry for your parents they must feel like failures.
