Kris Humphries

While reality TV star Kim Kardashian has endured a backlash after filing for divorce from Kris Humphries after 72 days of marriage, it is now being reported that Humphries was sometimes cruel to his soon-to-be ex.

"He belittled her in front of people," one insider told UsWeekly. "He'd call her stupid. It was truly sickening."

According to Us, the out-of-work NBA star enjoyed some of the perks of being married to a famous Kardashian, but also resented the attention Kim would receive.

Weeks before she announced her split from Kris Humphries after just 2 months of marriage, Kim Kardashian posed for Marie Claire's December cover. In the issue, she talks about the trust in her relationship.

She said, "I'm not worried about him at all. We have a lot of trust, and I don't think either of us would do anything to break that. It makes life so easy. He's such a good guy; he is so down-to-earth, and it's such a reality check. He is a normal guy, and I just want to chill out and be normal and not get glammed up all the time. He gets it. Sometimes my life can be really intimidating for people, but he allows me to work and do what I've gotta do."

Reports surfaced Friday that Kim Kardashian needed additional security while filming Tyler Perry's "The Marriage Counselor" in Atlanta, after she reportedly received death and kidnapping threats. Kim's rep denied the rumor, saying "there is no truth to it."

Kardashian, who finished shooting over the weekend, returned home to a frenzy of paparazzi following her every move at LAX.

NBA player Kris Humphries has retained a lawyer to handle his divorce from Kim Kardashian.

TMZ reports Humphries hired Minnesota attorney Lee Hutton, who reps many sports stars.

Sources connected with Kris and Kim told TMZ that the divorce should go very smoothly. There are no conflicts on the division of assets, largely due to the couple's airtight prenuptial agreement.

The newest Kim Kardashian rumor involves a shocking tabloid magazine report that claims the newly single reality star needs treatment for being so stressed over her divorce from Kris Humphries. It also says she lost weight, can't sleep, and is on the verge of an emotional breakdown.

Throwing herself into work, the 31-year-old is currently in Atlanta on the very guarded set of Tyler Perry's upcoming film, "The Marriage Counselor," and reportedly looked glum while going over her lines. Needing the support that only a mother can provide, Kris Jenner flew from L.A. to Georgia to be with her daughter. Jenner appeared at The Grove this past week, saying, "I'm her mom, all I can do is wrap my arms around her and make sure she's okay."

Mama Kardashian, also known as Kris Jenner, stopped by The Grove to chat with "Extra's" Maria Menounos about her daughter's very public split from NBA star Kris Humphries.

Kim secretly jetted to Minnesota on Sunday for her first face-to-face with Humphries since filing for divorce, and Jenner revealed, "She really needed to talk to him."
