The Kardashians

On November 30, 2011, Kris Humphries filed for annulment, citing “fraud,” in response to ex Kim Kardashian’s October 31, 2011, divorce filing. With the March 2012 divorce trial date rapidly approaching, Kris is now under pressure to prove in court that the marriage was a sham. In a new Access Hollywood interview, the 27-year-old hoopster revealed he’s gunning for a public (read: televised) divorce trial to do just that. But does he have the evidence to pull it off?

Not according to Kim Kardashian’s best friend Jonathan Cheban! Jonathan tells Hollywood Life he not only thinks a publicized trial is an odd request coming from Kim’s camera-shy ex-to-be, but that Kris’ accusations that the marriage was staged for television are wholly false.

“I mean for a guy that doesn’t like [media attention] … it’s really weird that he’s pushing for that to happen,” Jonathan weighs in. “Kim is not doing the fighting, it’s up to the lawyers now. I just think that if he wants to keep pursuing it, he obviously has a big issue.”

In hopes of proving the 72-day marriage was a hoax, Kris’ camp plans to bring in the sexy celeb’s sisters to testify, as well as showing allegedly manipulated Kourtney and Kim Take New York Season 2 footage to the judge. Jonathan says there’s no amount of testifying that could sway the law to Kris’ side.

“The wedding was not fake, he’ll never be able to prove that the marriage and wedding was fake. It’s impossible,” Jonathan explains. ”The wedding was real. I was there from the beginning where Kim was like ‘He’s cute, that guy, I want to meet him!’”
