Kim Kardashian’s divorce won’t tarnish her brand
Seventy-two days after their lavish wedding ceremony, which cost an estimated $10 million and was subsequently watched by more than 4 million TV viewers, Kim Kardashian, 31, announced she had filed for divorce.
“After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage,” she said in a statement. “I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision. I had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don’t work out as planned.”
Humphries, 26, issued a statement to People: “I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce.”
The announcement didn’t come as a surprise to celebrity watchers Monday, and experts agreed the golden Kardashian brand should be safe, though some warned about potential backlash from fans and wedding sponsors feeling duped.
