Kim Kardashian Sues Publicist Who Says Marriage Was A Sham

Kim Kardashian’s former publicist, Jonathan Jaxson is now the subject of a lawsuit intended to silence him regarding his thoughts on her divorce being a sham.

Shortly after Kim Kardashian enlisted a divorce attorney to dissolve her short nuptials to basketball player Kris Humphries rumors and speculation over whether her marriage was a sham began circulating the internet. One of the people asserting that the marriage was a phony publicity stunt was her former publicist Jonathon Jaxson.

Kim Kardashian has now filed a lawsuit against Jaxson, who she claims never worked for her. The lawsuit is intended to silence him and seeks $200,000 in damages for slander. The lawsuit alleges that Jaxson’s statements have negatively affected her reputation.

Jaxson has said that he and Kim staged a number of stunts to get the attention of the media, such as her engagement to Reggie Bush. He also stated that Kim’s marriage and subsequent divorce were also publicity stunts. Kim’s lawyer, Marty Singer has stated that Jaxson is seeking fame and violated a confidentiality agreement.

No matter what the truth, Kim has an uphill battle in settling her divorce and repairing her reputation. And even if it was all a publicity stunt, the divorce will be difficult on her and her family. Kris Humphries hired a divorce lawyer last week.

Whether divorcing couples are celebrities or just average people the prospect of a court battle can be daunting and makes it necessary to hire a highly-skilled divorce attorney.
