14 DAY TRIAL // Kris Humphries won't divorce Kim Kardashian: he wants an annulment to prove that she duped him into the 72-day sham marriage. In return, she can keep the money she took from him, which he made during the short-lived union.
As we also reported earlier today, Kris wants $7 million (€5.35 million) from Kim in exchange for a divorce, even though he's said to have made a small fortune through various media deals while still with her.
Sources close to him tell TMZ that he didn't see a dime of that money because Kim kept it all.
“We're told before they were hitched, Kim and Kris opened a joint account in which they deposited all the money they made from the wedding and other ventures,” the celebrity publication reports.
“Our sources say Kris did indeed get money for selling wedding photos and appearing on the Kardashian reality show... but they say all that money went into the joint account and Kris never got any of it,” the report further argues.
“Here's what's perplexing. Since it was a joint account, Kris would have as much access to the money as Kim. But sources connected to Kris say he's never attempt to withdraw any of it,” TMZ adds.
Moreover, Kris is willing to let Kim keep the money she already took for him, if she agrees to ask for an annulment as well.
It must be common knowledge by now that Kim and Kris have been locked in a heated dispute ever since she announced she'd filed for divorce after just 72 days, reportedly without even informing him of her decision.
She claims “irreconcilable differences,” he wants a judge to issue an annulment on the basis of fraud.
Kris says in court documents that Kim only married him for ratings and money, and that she never had any intention of staying married to him for longer than it served her purpose.
