E! Considering Pulling the Plug on Kim Kardashian's Show

E! is reportedly considering dropping Kim Kardashian because of the divorce debacle

She is, without a doubt, the most successful reality star ever, having built an entire business empire on a reality show. All this is about to end for Kim Kardashian, says a new report, as E! is threatening to pull the plug on her shows.

As we also noted earlier this week, Kim flew all the way to Minnesota after announcing her divorce, admittedly to talk to Kris Humphries, her husband of 72 days, about the possibility of getting back together.

MediaTakeOut claims that the real reason behind the surprise visit is no honest desire on Kim's part to make things right with Kris again, but rather a desperate need to be on TV.

E! has threatened the star to ax her shows, the same media outlet informs, and she believes getting back with Kris is actually the only way she can convince network bosses that she should continue on air.

“According to an insider over at E! Networks – the channel is considering DROPPING Kim Kardashain’s new show, Kim and Kourtney take Manhattan,” MTO writes.

“In addition, the channel was planning to STOP airing Kim Kardashian’s wedding special,” says the e-zine.

This would translate into huge losses for her and she clearly doesn't want that, now that she's see how wonderful life can be at the top.

Consequently, she's willing to get back with Kris just to keep the show on the air – and preferably break up with him in front of the cameras.

“The loss of the two shows would mean MILLIONS in losses for Kim. She currently is paid more than $2M [€1.45 million] a season for the reality show and she gets 30% of the ad revenue every time her wedding special airs. And equally as important to Kim, it would keep her OFF the TV screens,” MTO writes.

The e-zine even believes it has a good idea of how this will play out, saying, “Expect Kim and that Humphries IDIOT to RECONCILE this week, and break up OFFICIALLY, once Kim’s show airs it’s final episode in December.”

Since Kim announced she had filed for divorce from Kris, she's become the subject of a harsh backlash from fans who now believe she either married for the cameras, to boost ratings of her reality show, or she never intended to get divorced and is now just faking a “reconciliation” for the same reason, ratings.

PLEASE CANCEL SHOW....BAD EXAMPLE FOR YOUNG WOMEN! START A SHOW CALLED "WHO GIVES A CRAOP ABOUT THE KARDASHIANS" AND FEATURE REAL PEOPLE DOING REAL GOOD IN THIS WORLD!...THAT I'D WATCH!

I couldn't agree more with all the previous statements made by others. I did enjoy watching the Kardashian's but now after this unbelievable sham of a wedding I won't watch one more minute of that crap. This family really need to reevaluate their lives and step out of the spotlight. They all have plenty of money and shouldn't earn another dime from us watching them. PLEASE PULL PLUG ON THE SHOW!

Kim is embarrassing not only to herself but to all that watch her anymore. I do not. This was the most disgusting thing to see and esp. what Kris Hump had to endure w/her. She & her mother need counseling fast - I mean really --- this is not normal and for her mother to always defend her actions is not normal either. This is a dysfunctional family and who needs to watch this. Take them off the air - please - we have had enough with these people..

Comment #6.1 by: TB on 15 Nov 2011, 00:46 GMT

Pull it. And her mom is supposed to b a minister! Where was the counseling on trying to make things work! She she know the scripture best, What profit a man to gain the whole world and lose their soul. I wouldn't purchase anything they sell. Everything is a knock off of someone else designs and it is cheap!

Comment #6.2 by: TrueAmerican on 15 Nov 2011, 23:36 GMT

I agree whole-heartedly, the show is trash, and should be taken off the air!!!! There are plenty of ideas for shows that could be explored. Take it off asap. American values are much higher than what's portrayed by this trashy, dysfuntional family. Who are these people, why do we care????? I have never watched this joke of a show and am very happy about it. I refuse to watch. Thanks

We need to get all of the Kardashian's off TV completely. My household will NOT watch anything they are on. Why are people so interested in these no bodies & are making them rich.

Get this family off of TV, Cable and Movies. They have proven repeatedly that they are money grabbing scammers and need to go away.


Comment #9 by: VIVI on 16 Nov 2011, 05:51 UTC reply to this comment

Comment #10 by: Just get rid of them on 17 Nov 2011, 18:42 UTC reply to this comment

Stupid people with silly little lives that should not be aired out like the dirty laundry that they are! Get rid of the filth!


Comment #11 by: dawn on 18 Nov 2011, 14:57 UTC reply to this comment

I use to watch the show but after this stunt I am done with the show. It shows on her part as being greedy, immature, fake and having lack of morals. When you get married you should take that very serious and I think that this will be a backlash and rightfully so. I am disgusted at the thought of people in Hollywood that think that it is cool to marry and divorce for a lack of self morals and needing constant attention in the media. I think that most people in Hollywood that behave that way are nothing but whores!

I think she should crow under a rock and stay there forever until she dries up to look like a prune. Cancel the show she not worth it.........

This is why they are on TV in the first place too much attention for nothing, this has to be a farce, this women has time and energy for no on but herself and her family she does not even sound real when she talks no emotion and Tyler Perry puts her no acting " * " in a movie, what has he been smoking the girl can not act. I usually run to the movies when he releases a movie, but not this time. I can definitely wait on this one.


Comment #14 by: DeniseMM on 27 Nov 2011, 14:40 UTC reply to this comment

When Kim filed for divorce after 72 days - she affirmed her family and her "brand" (read money) is far, far more important than love - and working things out with her husband, Kris. That means she's never out of the limelight - she's always performing as "Kim Kardashian." Can't get away from it. Reminds me of a movie with Jim Carrey (1998), "The Truman Show." IMHO, even though she's reportedly worth $35 million - she is very poor indeed because she has no life of her own.
