Kim Kardashian denied that her
marriage to Kris Humphries was a hoax, saying she was left utterly
depressed afterwards and her fanbase was strong enough without having to
stage drama for ratings.
In a frank interview with Oprah Winfrey, the reality star opened up about the doomed romance.
She
stressed that she still has a 'place in my heart' for her former
basketball player beau, yet after moving in together it dawned on her
that married life was 'not for me'.
Spilling the beans: Kim looks taken aback with the grilling, but Oprah's techniques are to approach like a friend
Speaking to the talk show host, Kim said: 'I was in love, I wanted the life that I always pictured my fairytale life to be.
'I would've had an extravagant
wedding anyway, to end that relationship was a risk in itself to lose
ratings and I had to take the risk to be honest to myself.'
Kim,
who never mentioned Kris by name during the chat, claimed the pair had
never spent enough time alone before their 72-day matrimony for her to
recognise his negative traits.

She continued: 'I think when people
first meet, everything is great in the beginning, but I didn't spend
more than a whole week with my ex before we married.
'When we moved in together, I saw how
our relationship was... I don't want to get into the small things, but
once we moved in, I knew he was not the one.'

As
Oprah quizzed her about the pre-wedding nerves, Kim said: 'I didn't
have an inkling, but everyone around me did. The night before, mum said,
"Do you want out?" She said, "You're not yourself".
'But I said no, I got angry, I was thinking, "How dare you!"'
Kim stressed that Kris did not do anything specifically wrong and denied that he hit her or lashed out.
'He's a good person,' she said. 'I will always have a place in my heart for him. It just wasn't for me.'
While Kim admitted she was 'bored' in the romance, she didn't attribute it as the reason for leaving.
She
said: 'You know in your heart. Mum was supportive, so I took that time
off afterwards... I would rather have been beaten up in the media than
live a life that wasn't happy.
'I was in such a deep depression I
thought I was going to back away from everything. I stayed at home for
almost four months and I'm a better person now, as heartbreaking as it
was to go through.'
Kim
added: 'For anyone I hurt, I'm truly sorry, I don't wish pain on
anyone, but the person I am because of that crazy experience, I wouldn't
change it for the world.
'I
loved him, obviously it hurt him, and it hurt me too. It was
embarassing, I don't want to call it a mistake, it was a lesson.'
Kim
also claimed that her sex tape 'introduced her to the world in a
negative way', so she was forced to 'work ten times harder to get people
to see the real me'.
The
reality TV star wed the basketballer in a fairytale ceremony last
August, but although their union broke down within three months.
Reflective: Speaking of her success, Kim said: 'I don't think it would've happened if we were all skinny models'
Kim is now dating rapper Kanye
West, 35, and said one of the things that attracts her to him is the
fact he is older than her.
She added: 'I always dated five years
younger. My whole thing was completely different, and now I just love
that I'm with someone that's a couple years older than me.'
During the interview, Kim, who is of Armenian descent, says she is proud to represent Middle Eastern women in modern society.
When asked if she thinks the
Kardashian's reality TV show would be as successful if they weren't
pretty, she replied: 'I don't think it would've happened if we were
all skinny pretty models.
Krammed in: Oprah with the Kardashians and their
spouses... the chat show host said she had to 'Kardashian Kram' ahead
of the interview which will be screened Sunday
'I think it has to do with us, the curves, the dark hair - I think it was a combination.
'I remember when the wave of Jennifer
Lopez, Salma Hayek and these beautiful Hispanic women came into light,
and I looked up to them and I loved them, but I was like, "Where are
Middle Eastern women?" I think we took that category or helped broaden that.'
