Kris Humphries: broken man.

Nets power forward Kris Humphries, now aware that he was nothing more than a prop used by the Kardashian family to expand their evil empire, is playing hard ball.

He wants Kim Kardashian to admit their wedding was staged for publicity, and “to make a public apology to him because he really wanted a marriage.”

Sadly, the guy just doesn’t get it. The universe has been trying to teach him there is “no honor among thieves.” And his denial of this lesson has turned him into an emotional wreck.

Everyone knows the wedding was a sham: the public, the Kardashians, the thousands of Knicks fans that booed and jeered at him for getting duped then unceremoniously dumped.

If Kim were to admit to committing marriage fraud, the already severely damaged Kardashian family “brand” might never recover. She’ll continue what she’s best at: lying to save face. Of course she’s so narcissistic that she probably believes her own nonsense.

After the $2 million wedding ring fiasco, Humphries is still finding ways he’s been scammed:

“Kris wants a divorce trial so that the truth can finally come out – amongst other matters, he wants to know about a $325k wedding gift that the couple got from a very wealthy Malaysian businessman that attended the wedding,” a source revealed to Radar Online.

“Kris was at Kim’s house when the very gift was delivered — it was given to both of them but Kim has kept sole ownership of the gift and has used it extensively. She will be asked about it, under oath, on the stand at the trial. For Kris this isn’t about the money, it never has been, it’s about the truth finally coming out.”

Kim reportedly gave the couple’s wedding gifts to charity instead of distributing them back to benefactors and Kris is suspicious of this activity.

“The total of their wedding gifts, not including the $325k luxury item, was around $400k, and not the $100k value that Kim has publicly stated,” the source added. “When you include the $325k gift, they actually got over $700k in total in wedding presents, so Kim should have donated a lot more to charity that the $200k she claims she has.”

Here’s a quick rundown of how the separation proceedings began.

After just 72 days of marriage, Kim Kardashian filed for a good old fashion divorce, hoping to cease as many assets as possible that were not protected by the prenup. Humphries responded by filing an annulment of his marriage with Kim, checking off “fraud” as the reason.

More evidence of her greed:

… she listed “miscellaneous jewelry and other personal effects” as well as “earrings and accumulations” amassed by Kim before, during and after her marriage be confirmed as separate property.

I feel much sympathy for Kris Humphries. A man’s desire for female companionship and sex are his Achilles’ heel.

When a self-serving Western princess gets every possible luxury handed to her on a silver platter, she is quick to dispose of the male provider when his willingness to provide additional resources has diminished. It’s my hunch that this is the underlying reason why things went south so abruptly post-honeymoon.

Additionally, at 31, Kim’s shelf life as a sex symbol is creeping towards its twilight period. Too much time spent with Humphries could have slowed media attention to a crawl.

In predictably hypergamous fashion she’s moved onto Kanye West whom has an estimated net worth ten times that of Humphries, earning herself the tabloid attention she so insatiably desires along the way.
