Now Kim's former PR agent is pulling back the curtain on reality TV , charging that her $20 million wedding was a contractual obligation to the E! network.

"It was obvious that it was staged," Jonathan Jaxson told Good Day L.A. on Friday. "There were contracts already in place for E! to film it....Everything was written down."

Jaxon, who worked for Kardashian from 2007 to 2009, says the reality star knew she didn't want to marry Kris Humphries weeks before she exchanged vows before 440 guests.

"Unfortunately they were obligated to honour contracts," Jaxon said, "otherwise they would have owed people a lot of money."

The 31-year-old's star has lost a lot of shine since she filed to divorce the NBA forward just 72 days after their made-for-TV wedding spectacle. And though she has emphatically insisted that she married for love in a blog post, her protests have stop scathing criticism including words from Humphries' father, William.

"There was never a discussion about it. It just came out of nowhere and blindsided Kris,' William told Life & Style. "How could someone do that? ...The news was already published before he found out.''

TMZ reports that Humphries has hired Minnesota attorney Lee Hutton to manage his divorce.

Just so we're all clear now: There are no quick cuts in real life; no perpetually looping background music mimicking emotional states.
