This is a pretty juicy story that would have gotten more mileage prior to Kim Kardashian’s precipitous downfall. Remember how Kim sort-of dated her hot Australian bodyguard late last year? (You can see photos of their on-screen hookup here) They even were shown in bed together on “Kourtney & Kim Take New York.” Well apparently the guy was married, his wife had the impression that they were still together (although they were necessarily apart at the time due to their jobs), and then he hooked up with Kim and unceremoniously dumped her. They’re also still married, and she’s still waiting for the guy to give her a divorce. Here’s the story, via Hollywood Life. Star did get the other woman to speak on the record and they have photos and everything, so this isn’t a story based on unnamed “sources.”

Kim’s romance with her Australian body guard Shengo Deane played out on her show back in 2010, but now Shengo’s wife is speaking out against the reality star.
Kim Kardashian has found herself in the middle of another love story gone wrong. Zuzana Deane is accusing Kim of stealing her husband, Shengo Deane, Star magazine reports.

Kim was introduced to Shengo in April of 2010, while he was her bodyguard in Australia. He then appeared as Kim’s love interest in a September 2010 episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians and an October 2010 episode of Kourtney & Kim Take New York.

“In my eyes, I was happily married to Shengo when he and Kim met,” Zuzana told Star. “Less than two weeks later, he told me he didn’t want to be married to me anymore, and then he ends up in her arms in Los Angeles. It was a whirlwind. I don’t know what Shengo initially told her about his situation — he’s handsome and charming, and I can see where Kim would be smitten. But it was all a shock to me.”

But Zuzana and Shengo are still technically married. “Incredibly, Shengo still hasn’t given me a divorce, and that’s all I want from him, nothing more,” Zuzana said. “As for Kim, I actually don’t have too many hard feelings. I think she was a bit too trusting and impulsive — and Shengo saw her as the golden ticket to fame.”

I would say that if this guy wasn’t legally unavailable Kim would have married him, thrown a fairy tale wedding, and ditched him later. He he was too low status for her though. He was worth a fling and that’s it.

Radar is reporting that Kim is being portrayed as the “victim” to baddie Kris Humphries on the upcoming season of “Kourney & Kim Take New York.” Of course Kim has “editorial control” and is going to manipulate the footage to make it seem like Kris treated her poorly and not the other way around. Even if this is true and the guy was a total ass, she chose to marry him and that’s on her.

The E! reality darling will be seen “as the victim, and Kris will definitely be the bad guy. Kim was stunned by the amount of bad press and the public relations nightmare she has endured since deciding to file for divorce,” a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com. “Kim will be using the show to attempt to rehab her image. Kim has been telling her inner circle that she has worked very hard to get where she has, and she isn’t going to let her marriage and subsequent decision to divorce Kris Humprhies ruin that.

“Kim carefully and methodically plans all of her business decisions, and that is how she is looking at her divorce, as all business. Of course she is sad, but it’s all about Kim’s endorsement deals and paid promotional appearances. There were reports that Kim was going to lay low after she filed for divorce, yet several days later, she was in Atlanta shooting a role in the movie, The Marriage Counselor.

“Kim will be ringing in New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas. The fact is Kim is extremely insecure, and she is truly afraid that if she were to disappear from the public eye, for even more than a week, her fame would disappear,” the source says.

Kim is right, her fame is about to disappear. She should count on it.

Meanwhile Kim is still co-starring in that Tyler Perry movie, The Marriage Counselor, as an assistant to a matchmaker. Perry defended his decision to cast Kim, writing that “I thought and still do think that it would be very responsible of her to be a part of this film. To have the young people that look up to her, see her in a film that is about what happens in life when you make the wrong choices.” Perry doesn’t seem to get that Kim has much less “young people” looking up to her at this point.

In related news, PETA is slamming Kim for wearing fox fur. They may as well do it now when she’s still somewhat relevant.
