Kim Kardashian Divorce: Kardashian Cuts Ties With Best Friend
Reality star Kim Kardashian not only split from NBA player Kris Humphries, but she also reportedly cut ties with best friend Brittny Gastineau shortly after filing for divorce.
A source told Radar Online that Gastineau, who participated in the wedding and even caught the bouquet, expressed concerns to Kardashian over the quick engagement and that Kardashian possibly feels ashamed or embarrassed for not listening to her friend.
"Brittny was very concerned about Kim’s decision to jump into this marriage, and she expressed that to her, in a very loving way," the source said. "It didn’t seem to bother Kim at the time, which was around the time the engagement was announced. Maybe Kim felt like a fool, and perhaps she should have listened to Brittny. Brittny isn’t the ‘I told you so’ type. She is very hurt that Kim has frozen her out of her life right now."
The NY Daily News reported that Kardashian did not attend her best friend's 28th birthday party in West Hollywood this past weekend, and that an insider said her name was "off-limits" at the upscale restaurant where the bash took place, with Gastineau announcing to guests not to bother asking about Kardashian because she was not going to talk about her.
After a 6-month courtship, Humphries proposed to Kardashian on her family's well-known reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and the couple was married shortly after in a lavish ceremony that reportedly cost $20 million.
Throughout the courtship, proposal and wedding, which was broadcast as a two-part special on the E! channel, it was speculated in the media that the relationship was a ploy by the show's executives to keep the show current and improve ratings. In the months leading up to and following the wedding, it became apparent that trouble was brewing in the relationship, as both Kardashian and Humphries were spotted often apart and without their wedding rings.
Kardashian filed for divorce last Halloween after only 72 days of marriage.
