Kim Kardashian never technically “met” Bret Lockett, but they still had an “affair”

fp_7449624_kardashian_kim_bel_00_06

Soon after Kim Kardashian announced her engagement to that bonehead-looking fella with the same name as Kim’s mom, the speculation quickly turned to “How much will this famewhore family make from the wedding, etc?” Early estimates put the figure around $5 million, when taking into account the magazine deals, E! “specials” and product placement. Well, it seems like Kim – wanting to seem more legit, I think – sold the engagement story and an advance on the wedding to People Magazine, rather than one of the trashier tabloids (where she belongs). Page Six claims that Kim worked out a $1 million deal with People, but now People‘s editor is thinking “Er… what did we just do?!”

People magazine is paying Kim Kardashian more than $1 million for exclusive coverage of her engagement and wedding, sources told Page Six — but now the mag’s editors are concerned that the public fascination over the curvy beauty may be waning.

Kim’s surprise engagement to NBA star Kris Humphries graced the cover of People last month, with the mag touting “the incredible proposal — and the 20.5 carat ring.” The weekly paid her $300,000 and has now made a second deal for coverage of the reality star’s wedding for just over $1 million.

But some magazine staffers are concerned their investment won’t be recouped, according to sources. The $1 million deal was reached after OK! magazine put in an offer of nearly double that but backed out. No official date for the big day has yet been set.

The thing about wedding photos is that they’re only worth a big magazine payout if the magazine is ensured exclusivity. The Kardashians are not exclusive to one media outlet, one tabloid, one photo agency, or one channel (okay, E! does get the bulk of it, but not everything). People Magazine’s editors began looking at the logistics of trying to maintain exclusivity and realized that by the time they went to print on any kind of “wedding photo shoot,” most of the blogs would have already published photos, plus E! would simply have better coverage overall.

Meanwhile, remember the whole controversy last week with In Touch Weekly getting an interview with NFL player Bret Lockett, who claimed he and Kim had a five-month “affair”? Well, Bret is sticking by most of his original story, but when pressed for specifics, he claimed that he and Kim never technically met, they just sexted and had phone sex. He claims it was “physical” because Kim said she was touching herself while they spoke on the phone. Er….

Kim Kardashian earlier this week slammed Bret Lockett, the NFL player who alleges he had a five-month affair with the reality star behind her fiancé Kris Humphries‘ back.

Kardashian, who vehemently denied Lockett’s claims, even had her lawyers go after him, asking the football player to stop “spreading these false and malicious statements about Ms. Kardashian in an attempt to garner publicity.”

Her attorneys contend, “Mr. Lockett knows, there is not now, and never has been such a relationship… Ms. Kardashian does not know and has never even met Mr. Lockett.”

Kardashian’s legal team further demanded that Lockett admit he lied about a relationship.

Despite the strong stance from Kardashian’s camp, the pro athlete appeared on CNN’s “Showbiz Tonight” last night and stood his ground.

When questioned whether he really had a physical relationship with Kardashian, Lockett explained, “I said before that it was a physical relationship… There was a physical aspect in the relationship… She did tell me that she was touching herself in a physical way over the phone towards me.”

He added, “Was it a physical relationship… that I saw her in person? No.”

And when asked if they have even ever met, Lockett replied, “No, we have not… She was very busy.”

Still, Lockett maintains he’s not lying and said, “I do not plan on apologizing or retracting anything. What I said is the complete honest truth.”

Watch the video below, and tell us if you believe Lockett or not.

Um… okay, I believe that Bret believes he was having phone sex with Kim, and that she was sexting him sexy sweet nothings like “Hey baby” and “send me a dong shot!” (she didn’t really text that exactly, but she totally wanted one). But here’s the question: was it actually KIM on the phone? I still kind of believe it was. We’ll see how it all plays out. Speaking of, even though Kim and her lawyers are threatening all kinds of legal actions, no lawsuit has been filed yet. Interesting.

Here’s Bret’s interview on CNN:

    Bret is lying.

  2. Louise says:

    With the backtracking it seems like he’s lying and there wasn’t any kind of affair, even a phone affair. I think Kim sent a few athletes texts when she was single and Chris was the first to respond. Also Kim seems too much of a relationship girl that I doubt she would do any kind of cheating.

  3. teehee says:

    The $hit about this is, she is ensuring her 1 million will in fact be paid with bologna like this. This rumor is just to keep the deal intact. True or not nobody cares; but her publicity is alive and well after this. Disgusting.

  4. brin says:

    When famewhores collide!

  5. Addie says:

    Don’t know if it is true or not, can’t really trust someone who gets involved with a Kardashian.

    My question is..why is he recording an album if he is a sports person?

    He definatly has a motive. He is getting his name out there by being linked with Kim.

  6. Luci says:

    I cannot f’ing believe that KK is getting 5 MILLIONS for her wedding :P!!

    on kris humphries, don’t call him a bonehead, of the two, he’s the cuttest by faaaar

  7. Quest says:

    And this adds to the Reality Show drama…hmmm…I have to hand it to the Kardshians…they sure know how to milk that cash cow for all it’s worth.

  8. guesty says:

    What Brin said. LOL.

  9. Shay says:

    Kim has a thing for black men.

  10. Hautie says:

    As I stated last week, Kim was playing the odds.

    She wanted a baller and was stalking more than one at the time.

    Kris H. was the one who decided to go public with her.

    So one of the random baller’s went rogue on her. But he has his own media whore aspirations. And the irony is he used Kim to get the media attention he wanted.

    I bet her Mother sends him a bill for services render. 🙂

  11. Shazza says:

    Shay- and Kris Humphries is half black. What’s your point?

  12. Maritza says:

    They make a cute couple. I believe Bret is lying too.

  13. Kelly says:

    This dude Bret seems a little… slow.

  14. the original bellaluna says:

    I don’t know who’s less believable: An NFL footballer or a fame-whore who’s claim to fame is being peed on in a home-made porno.

  15. whitedaisy says:

    It sounds as though she had an emotional affair if not a physical one, albeit virtual in nature.
    Why would Humphries stay engaged to someone who cheated on him?
    An emotional betrayal is at least as offensive as a physical one.
    The truth in this is that Bret is telling the truth. You will know this by the fact that the Kardashians will never file a lawsuit; because then the evidence would be revealed.
    Run ,Humphries, run!

  16. Tammi says:

    I’ll believe Kim when she takes it to court.

  17. stewy says:

    HULK carry purchases for you. AAAAHHHHHH!

  18. TeeTee says:

    yeah, their public interest is waning..

    hmm, are we sure, Kim isn’t a part of this???

    go away already!

  19. gee says:

    I think he’s lying.

  20. Kim says:

    Yeah buy a dog from a pet store that breeds and encourages animal abuse instead of rescuing one.

    She is such a hobag moron!

  21. Kim says:

    You know she was sexting Bret – keeping her options open if Kris didnt work out.

  22. Yoco says:

    TMZ says the lawsuit will be filed today.This guy was asked where he met Kim. His response was I don’t want to say. Harvey Levin responded can you tell me at least the city and he wouldn’t give the city. Why didn’t he say I’ve never met her in person. I wonder if someone pranked him with a Kim lookalike/impersonator. If he thought he was really talking with Kim would he still be held liable in a civil action?

  23. lucy says:

    LOL stewy.

    Anyone else think their PimpMama did something playing of one magazine against the other? Probably promised other stuff to OK if they drove the price up. Sounds like People has buyers remorse!

  24. Lucky Charm says:

    I’ll bet it was Khloe pretending to be Kim, LOL!

  25. ol cranky says:

    I wouldn’t be surprised if she was paying Lockett to pull this stunt in an effort to get even more press about her, her engagement, etc.

  26. fizixgirl314 says:

    Humphries looks like this slow kid I used to know in college… true story. Also, my boyfriend’s name is Humphries as well and I’m Armenian but he’s not a bonehead, he’s super smart… yet another true story (and I’m sure very exciting as well :-/)

  27. CeeCee says:

    Who caaaaaaaares!!!!

  28. Charlotte says:

    I can’t really think about the story because I can’t get past all the under-eye makeup that she’s wearing (in a WAY TOO LIGHT shade, no less).

  29. Connie says:

    Does anyone think that maybe ALL of this is part of the larger PR stunt? Neither party seems entirely credible but both have much to gain

  30. dj says:

    Charlotte – THANK YOU!

  31. Ellen Cavers says:

    I know this really is actually boring and you might be skipping for the subsequent comment, but I just wanted to throw you a huge thanks – you cleared up some points for me!

  32. The Count says:

    I just can’t get into Kat Face being touted as a great beauty. Attractive?…yes!…But there are a lot of ladies, more attractive than her on the block; women who exude a lot more sex appeal. I find Kat Face to have the sex appeal of a dead fish. Having peeped at a bit of her sex tape and her aborted music video, all I can say is “YUCK!” Also what’s the story with her choice in foot-wear? This woman is always wearing the ugliest shoes I’ve ever seen. She’s suppose to be a stylist?? Final thought: This overestimated hag is more a cartoon character than America’s princess.
