Kim Kardashian Threatens To Sue Kris Humphries; Kayne West Deposed In Divorce Case
Kim Kardashian is preparing to take a dramatic step to get her divorce from Kris Humphries moving.
Though it's been more than a year since Kardashian filed for divorce after the couple's 72-day union, the proceedings have been stalled ever since. Now a new report claims Kardashian is threatening to sue Humphries if he and his legal team don't get a move on.
"She has instructed her lawyer, Laura Wasser, to give Kris and his lawyers an ultimatum: Settle now or she will sue," a source said, adding that a lawsuit could create a pile of attorney's fees for Humphries. "[They] could cost Kris millions."
Humphries is seeking an annulment rather than a divorce on the grounds that the marriage was a fraud to boost ratings for Kim's E! reality show, "Keeping Up With The Kardashians." The NBA player also wants Kardashian to return the diamond engagement ring he gave her.
But Kardashian is prepared to cite the ways Humphries has damaged her career and include that in her suit.
"Kim will launch a counterattack for defamation of character," the insider added. "You can't put a price tag on what Kris has cost her."
Kardashian's divorce attorney said in court Thursday that her client wants to move on from the 72-day marriage with Humphries, but that has become impossible as the basketball player and his legal team are still not ready to move forward with a trial, according to a report from USA Today.
"Ms. Kardashian is now handcuffed to Mr. Humphries," Wasser told Superior Court Judge Stephen Moloney.
Some reports have claimed Kardashian is ready to get engaged to current boyfriend Kanye West, but she in unable to move forward because she is still legally married to Humphries.
But West hasn't been free of all the divorce drama. He was pulled into the proceedings this week when Humphries' legal team forced to rapper to submit to a deposition and took his testimony about his girlfriend and his knowledge of her marriage to Humphries.
