The style icon tried to cope with her beloved's personality disorders.
Kim, who recently turned 45, grew up with sisters Kourtney and Khloé, and after her parents' divorce and her mother's marriage to Bruce Jenner, our heroine gained new sisters Kendall and Kylie. They all became famous thanks to the show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," but Kimberly earned a reputation in certain circles several years before the reality premiere: in the early 2000s, the girl helped organize the wardrobe of Sugar Ray's wife, and word of mouth turned her into Paris Hilton's assistant.
In 2006, the sisters opened their first boutique, Dash, and soon after appearing in Playboy, Kim became the face of a major clothing brand. By then, the first memes featuring Kardashian had already spread: it was impossible not to comment on her indifferent expression in the advertisement. Nevertheless, the girl continued to be invited to fashion shows, launched a makeup course, participated in "Dancing with the Stars," starred in the series Beyond the Break, the comedy "Disaster Movie," and "C.S.I.: Crime Scene Investigation New York." In her last two appearances on screen, the brunette received nominations for a Razzie Award, but was that her main failure?
From her first appearance on TV, Kim positioned herself as a style icon who valued external attractiveness. At the same time, the girl denied any inclination towards "enhancements," for instance, insisting until the end that she had not undergone rhinoplasty. However, photos of young Kardashian suggest otherwise.
Her famous buttocks, which gained fame after a video where a champagne glass was placed on them, Kim also once called a gift from nature. But how can one explain the huge difference between a 60-centimeter waist and a 99-centimeter butt, as well as the dent that unmistakably hints at the installation of implants? Kardashian found an excuse: she claimed that she had injected her most famous body part for psoriasis treatment. "When I walked in, the doctor said, 'There’s a one in a billion chance that you’ll have a big dent in your butt.' Of course, I have a huge dent in my butt," the celebrity explained.
The star did not hide the fact that she got rid of stretch marks and other skin defects using laser treatment, but she was evasive about breast surgery: she claimed that she had a third size even during the premiere of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." In reality, experts noted that Kim's volume noticeably increased from the first to the fourth season of the show. As for her buttocks, surgeons speculate that the woman used fat transfer from other areas instead of implants.
Kim could boast of a tumultuous personal life, which she unabashedly declared in her autobiography. In her youth, the girl lost her virginity to Tito Joe Jackson, Michael Jackson's nephew. The teenage relationship lasted almost two years, after which Kardashian switched to producer Damon Thomas.
At 19, Kim married her beloved, but the marriage fell apart in 2004: the brunette accused her husband of domestic violence, while he claimed that his wife had cheated on him. Nevertheless, even before the dissolution of the union, Kardashian began a romance with rapper Ray J. For three years, the stars dated on and off, and after their final breakup, their home video leaked online. Kim acted strangely: first, she denied that it was her in the video, then she sued the company that attempted to distribute the tape as porn. Many concluded that Kardashian was feigning outrage, using the scandal for publicity.
When the home video story was making headlines, Kim was dating Nick Cannon. Rumor has it that the scandal prompted the brunette's breakup with the actor, and he later confirmed that Kardashian had published the infamous video online herself.
The reality star didn't mourn for long: she got together with football player Reggie Bush. The couple was together for almost three years, and those around them talked about an impending wedding, but the celebration never happened. Instead, Reggie married a woman who looked just like his ex... Apparently, Kim was eager to change her marital status, as she soon got close to another football player — Kris Humphries. While envious women drooled over the tall athlete, Kardashian was not at all happy with the union — the couple's marriage lasted only 72 days, and the divorce, along with the division of property, took longer than their actual relationship.
As was customary, Kim's next relationship began even before the dissolution of her previous marriage — the brunette fell head over heels in love with Kanye West. Their mutual passion led to the birth of daughter North, and then to their wedding in 2014. In 2015, the couple welcomed son Saint, and in 2018 and 2019, a surrogate mother gave them daughter Chicago and son Psalm.
The luxurious wedding in Florence, where Kim changed into four outfits, expensive gifts, and beautiful pictures on social media maintained the image of a happy family until 2020. Until that moment, only indirect evidence indicated problems in the marriage: paparazzi caught Kardashian crying in a car, or noticed the absence of her wedding ring.
It was rumored that Kim was quite tired of her husband's provocative antics: he would cause scandals at the Grammys or express his desire to run for president. During the campaign, the rapper claimed that he and Kardashian wanted to terminate her first pregnancy. To put it mildly, the brunette was offended by such revelations. One of the main reasons for the discord was considered to be Kanye's bipolar disorder. In 2016, during a phase of exacerbation, the musician attacked fitness center staff, and Kim appealed to those around her to understand how difficult it was for the family: she claimed that the pills no longer helped West and changed his personality.
"I read such hurtful things on social media. People say that I don’t help him, that I don’t stop him. As if I’m to blame for what he says or does. He is my husband. I always discuss everything with him, and if he is in a state of exacerbation of the illness, I will always come to help," Kardashian emphasized in 2019.
Two years later, Kim tried to explain her husband's social media posts, which accused her of infidelity and expressed a desire to commit him to a psychiatric hospital, as a result of his disorder. Complaints and mutual accusations piled up, making divorce inevitable.
The subject of disputes for the couple became their $60 million house in Calabasas and their four children. The rapper ultimately refused the mansion, so Kim paid him a compensation of $20 million. The heirs remained living with their mother, and to be closer to them, Kanye bought a cottage across the street, albeit at an inflated price.
It was rumored that West had repeatedly tried to win his wife back, but she proved to be a tough nut to crack. The couple continued to appear together in public, causing confusion among fans. Meanwhile, Kim began dating Pete Davidson in 2021, while Kanye was rumored to be in a relationship with Irina Shayk. In November 2022, the couple divorced, and just a month later, Kanye married his new girlfriend Bianca Censori. The woman had a tough time: she was constantly compared to Kim, and West was accused of restricting her freedom and pressuring her, which could lead to their breakup. As for Kardashian, she does not mention the name of her current partner, although she hints that she is not single. And can such a confident star remain alone for long?
