Kim Kardashian sues her former publicist for telling the truth; her ‘shelf life’ is nearing

69487pcn_kardashian09
A former publicist who worked for Kim Kardashian from 2007-2009, Jonathan Jaxson, did a radio interview in which he claimed that Kim Kardashian’s engagement ring “from” Kris Humphries was “very similar” to a ring that she used in 2007 to stage a fake engagement with Reggie Bush. This is supported by paparazzi photos taken at the time, which show Kim wearing a ring that looks identical to her engagement ring with Kris. Jaxson also said that Reggie was not aware that Kim set him up for fake engagement rumors, and that “these type of antics” ended their relationship. He also said that Kim had a whole plan to get famous, that she wasn’t fazed by her sex tape at all and that it wasn’t released without her permission. (He has no insider information about that, other than the fact that she was barely upset when it came out.) In response, Kim is predictably suing Jaxson for defamation for $200,000. Her lawyer, Marty Singer, claims that Kim barely worked with Jaxons, that Jaxson is lying and that he signed a confidentiality agreement that prevents him from talking to the media. In response, Jaxson says he was given a confidentiality agreement by the Kardashians but that he never signed it. He also published video, photos, email and documentation showing he had a close relationship with Kim.

TMZ had contacted me last night regarding a story that I was being sued by Kim Kardashian for $200,000 and requested an immediate comment. Only because they wish to share a VERY small snippet, I want to provide the full statement I gave them. Why would I have thought they would have been fair to post my side?:

To the best of my knowledge, I have never signed an agreement dealing with confidentiality with Kim Kardashian. I have an agreement in my possession that does not have either parties signature on it.

When I have been contacted by the press to give comments on the wedding, my opinions have been from my personal point of view based on the statement she posted on her blog and conversations with mutual friends.

Regarding her engagement ring from Kris, I have stated that is was quite similar to the same ring I staged with her for a story we released to the press back on December 26, 2007. It was a planned shoot as she exited XIV Jewelers in Beverly Hills with the 7-carats on her right hand for media speculation that she was engaged, as she exited the jeweler.

I have not worked with Kim in a professional capacity in a couple of years and have absolutely no ill feelings towards her what so ever. The work we did together, I did as an acting publicist/friend on the side “behind-the-scenes” for her from 2007-2009. The pictures online, along with a video blog, and audio together speak for themselves.

The book I am publishing, “Don’t You Know Who I Am Yet,” chronicles one’s 15-minutes of fame and is a behind-the-scenes look from a publicists world in Hollywood and my dealings with several of the clients in which I have worked with and those I have met along the way. Kim was and always has been only a very small part of that equation.

I still have not been served with any papers regarding this matter.

[From Jonathan Jaxson’s website]

It seems like just about everyone is over this chick and calling for her fifteen minutes to be up. Michael Bublé ripped on Kim during a recent performance in NY. He said “Please welcome Kim Kardashian [to the stage],” then joked “Nah, just [bleeping] with you! That bitch isn’t coming on my stage.” The NY Post has this story, along with the detail that he then dedicated a song to Kris Humphries.

Meanwhile there’s a new book by a former NY Daily News writer called Celebrity, Inc.: How Famous People Make Money. It examines how Kim Kardashian was able to best her former bestie, Paris Hilton, in earnings. Now, however, author Jo Piazza says that “everyone thinks [Kim is] a joke” and that her “shelf life” is almost over. Unfortunately, there are more Kardashians available. Kim’s little sister Kendall may soon take her place according to Piazza. Kendall just got a $90,000 Range Rover for her 16th birthday. She’s got to be fully indoctrinated into the khurch of Kardashian, where money rules and appearances matter above all else. She’ll soon be getting lip injections and Botox, if she hasn’t already.

Here’s Kim flying out of Atlanta and into LA after filming for a Tyler Perry movie. There’s a petition to eliminate Kim from this movie, just as there’s a petition for E! to cancel all the Kardashian shows.

    I’m keeping my fingers crossed that her 15 minutes are about to expire. That would be a great early x’mas gift.

    cute outfit

  3. Nona says:

    lol things just keeps going from bad to worse for this KaTRASHian family, and i am enjoying every second of it 😀
    the truth always comes out.. now this pathetic, lying, useless famewhore is exposed!! how can she say that she “barely worked with Jaxon” and yet she made him sign a confidentiality agreement? and she claims that she doesn’t even remember him. yet she remembers she made him sign a confidentiality agreement?? this famewhore has no shame she lies through her teeth just like her mom!

  4. brin says:

    She can’t handle the truth (a/k/a reality). I will gladly sign those petitions.

    Santa got my letter! 🙂

    And the plot thickens.

  7. tapioca says:

    Be careful what you wish for. Free yourself from the Kardashians and who knows what horrors will fill the void – remember you wanted rid of Paris Hilton and that’s what created this monster in the first place!

    KK is FOS with regards to the sex tape though:

    “When a tape is legally released, the celebrity has always signed off – those lawsuits they file in protest all get redacted in the end. That’s why I can’t stand Kim Kardashian. Her whole career started with this sex tape, and she still claims she had a gun put to her head. Nothing could be further from the truth. Her boyfriend Ray J told me that she actually sat with Paris Hilton, wondering whether to put it online herself. Both Kim and Ray J made several million dollars on that tape, easily.”

    Before you sue someone for defamation of character, shouldn’t one have to prove from the beginning that they do indeed have character? If so we all know that little Miss Kimmie is very void in the character and morals department. Do I think that he wants to make money off of the scum that is the Kardashians? You bet. But wouldn’t the Kardashians be doing the same thing? Trying to make money because money is all that matters to these bottom feeders, they don’t care what they have to do, or who they have to do, who they have to lie to or about as long as there is a buck or two in it for them. Madam Kris has Kimmie all convinced that her lot in life is to be the next Elizabeth Taylor. That should make everyone want to puke that the Kartrashians think they are so big they can fill the shoes of an American original. Because they simply can’t, the closest they come is to Gypsy Rose Lee and even she was dripping in talent compared the Hollywood whore.

  9. Kathy says:

    Kris H is one lucky dude to be out of the crazy Kardashian nightmare!!

  10. Franny says:

    why doesn’t she use all of the sextape money to buy sunglasses that sit straight on her face?

  11. lucy2 says:

    I love that people have had enough of her and the backlash is finally happening.

    I HAVEN’T SEEN “SHADE” LIKE THAT SINCE I WATCHED THE FINALE OF “RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE”!!! LOL!!!

  13. Cher says:

    You got it coming Turdashian! Hahaha!

  14. Heatheradair says:

    nah, her size 4 ass isn’t going anywhere. No matter how much people are clamoring to slander her NOW, that still translates into JUST as many news stories, these ones just have a different, more jaded slant. They’ve been in the news MORE these days than in the days leading up to the wedding.

    E! won’t cancel anything, they’re still getting viewership (even if it’s because of controversy).

    Unfortunately, I still don’t see this brood going away for a LONG, LONG time.

  15. JaneWonderfalls says:

    I think he is just as guilty as them….To many money hungry people. I wish the all go away….

  16. dovesgate says:

    Looks to me like the center stone was replaced with a larger one. You can definitely tell it is bigger due to the finger coverage. Obviously this is a woman who loves step cuts.

  17. Kiki says:

    Thanks for the link @Celebitchy… I’ve already signed the petition. I hope some others do the same!

  18. stephanie says:

    i agree with heatheradair. sad but true, the trashians are here to stay.

  19. Talie says:

    This family isn’t going anywhere…they aren’t like The Hiltons. People buy into them and they will continue to watch their shows, buy their crap, etc…

  20. colt says:

    Isn’t Jaxson the one involved in the “stolen” nude pics for Adrienne Bailon when she was dating Rob Kardashian?

  21. Kaboom says:

    She’s not very smart if she plans to go into the discovery phase of a lawsuit that will expose her antics to the public.

  22. Smokey says:

    I’m number 4076 on the petition! I do remember actually watching the E network a long time ago, before it became the Ktrash network.

  23. lolas says:

    I don’t like the Kardashians, and I’ve never watched their show, and I’d be just as happy as everyone else if they went away, but I am wondering if all this vitriol is actually fair. When did Kim K (or any of the others) pretend to anything BUT whores for fame? If nobody paid attention from the beginning, we wouldn’t be hearing about this all the time now. She hung out with Paris Hilton and followed her footsteps, and the truly sad part of the whole thing (in my mind) is that it worked.

  24. constance says:

    I just want to know how this guy is a publicist with grammar and diction as bad as the examples of her “R u gonna” conversations. Klassy all around!

  25. 221jazz says:

    All I keep thinking in my head is BWUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! at Kim…but in all seriousness I love her outfit in this pic, bitch always looks fab.

  26. Hmph says:

    JJ also posted email exchanges with Kim, a radio interview with her, and pics of them together. How can Kim be so stupid? And why isn’t anyone republishing the pics?

    Why doesn’t that family go get marooned on a desert island that is filled with people eating 3 headed monsters

  28. Blergh says:

    Everything wrong with the world is symbolized by this family.

  29. autumndaze says:

    2012 is looking to shape up into a good year :0)

  30. Lisa says:

    I’m not a Kardashian fan in the LEAST…but I will say this…if I had paid good money to go to a Michael Bublé concert to hear elegant, smooth ballads harking back to the days of Cole Porter and he would have said the following at the concert…

    “Please welcome Kim Kardashian [to the stage],” then joked “Nah, just [bleeping] with you! That bitch isn’t coming on my stage.”

    I WOULD HAVE BEEN PISSED!!! I didn’t come to this concert to hear THAT crap…WHERE IS BOBBY SHORT WHEN YOU NEED HIM!!!

  31. Jezi says:

    I’m not a Kim K. or Kardashian fan by any means but Jonathan Jaxson is a whacko. Just google his name. He had a serious thing going on with Perez Hilton. Apparently he sent pics of his naked self to PH in order to promote his own gossip site. Then when it didn’t go the way he wanted, he sued Perez saying that he was promised success if he sent pics to Perez. He’s a shady character. He also is a compulsive liar. He stated on his twitter account that he was invited to Kim’s wedding. Based on the obvious lies in his tweets, it was clearly bullshit. He also ran the Hurricane relief for Leann Rimes and I think about $10,000 was unaccounted for. So I wouldn’t take this man’s word for face value either.

  32. Jackson says:

    NOW everyone thinks KK is a joke? It took this quickie divorce for people to realize that? She has always been a joke. At least other people are finally figuring this out. Hopefully the people at E! and Sears and whoever else thinks we want more Kardashian in our lives will realize it too.

  33. danielle says:

    I don’t think she is really suing this guy. I wonder if she got him to do that as a publicity stunt? He is actually saying that the wedding wasn’t a publicity stunt – that she realized it was a mistake before she did it but was scared to pull out. I do think this might be the end for her. It seems that people like reality tv, but only when they believe it is real. That’s when the Hills started having problems, once people thought it was all staged.

  34. ShanKat says:

    I guess it’s too much to hope that she might show us a more-interesting “dark side”?

    I like how now she always has on her shit-face. Kimmie says NYUH!

  35. Gone with the Wind says:

    Collectively the court of public appeal has spoken and wants to have a kardashian free zone day on November 27, 2011, when her new show premieres. I won’t be watching. I am about to block E Channel on my tv. They are targeting kids and then curse on their show and talk about sex and fight. Ugh!
    I am done with them.

  36. truthful says:

    heehee

    I’m still waiting on her to sue that supposed athlete that said he was with her. what a fake!

    She is now being sued by some hair removal company that she is the paid spokesperson for..they are suing for undisclosed damages, she claimed to use it all over her body (lying again) and the company said that their product is NOT to be used all over the body..

    let me go sign those petitions
    thx for the links.

  37. Criss says:

    Sounds like this guy is just promoting his new book. His words “to the best of my knowledge” is pretty shady. She probably does have a signed document and just gave him a blank copy so he would know what he signed. She said they worked together once years ago on a web site. So how would he know anything about Kris. Her actual publicist is a good friend and even had his own tv show. Her lawyers are suing for $200,000. And what he says is heresay, sounds like he’s in deep trouble.

  38. Happy21 says:

    Two weeks ago I said I was going to stop paying attention to these stories but I had to comment. I LOVE Michael Buble. He is fabulous and that comment was soooo awesome!

  39. Tristyn says:

    WOW”, she is “coincidentally”suing her former PR guy fir the same exact amount that she donating…

  40. Green_Eyes says:

    Both Petitions have been signed by me. #4240 on the E petition. Damn who knew I could have been wealthy if my exspouse had taped the few times I accidentally gave him golden showers (lol didnt know there was a name for it til Ex laughed it off & told me men would pay for that..i was embarrassed & grossed out..but I had a health problem & wound up loosing my bladder. Dang the $$ from our tape would have paid for all my past, present, and future med bills. I don’t mean
    to sound vain..but at that time I looked 100% better than she did, had no plastic-all real, and was (still am told) I was quite a stunning beauty.

    Oh wait..I know why I wouldn’t have filmed such a thing, yet alone release it. I have CLASS not KLASS… There is a difference.

  41. Hautie says:

    “I’m not a Kim K. or Kardashian fan by any means but Jonathan Jaxson is a whacko.”
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    I agree. A complete nut job.

    All Jaxson is doing is desperately trying to get his own name out there. Even if it means embellishing “facts” about Size 4 Kim.

    And if Mother Jenner has any sense, she has already hired one of those PR firms who handle epic PR shit storms. To put the brakes on all the bad press.

    Cause if she doesn’t. It is all over with. And the cash flow stops.

  42. Deb says:

    Jaxson isn’t saying anything that most of us didn’t already know. When Kim first got engaged to Kris Humphries, lot of people were already speculating that the ring was the same one that she had when she was with Reggie.

  43. bluhare says:

    @Trystyn, while I hadn’t put the amount of the suit together with her “donation”, I did wonder why she was only suing for $200K. That’s chump change to her.

  44. Scarlet Vixen says:

    I was already madly in love with Michael Buble, that completely sealed he deal. Now I wanna have his babies.

  45. Firecracker says:

    Oh Kardassians,

    How I do hate thee, let me count the ways.

    Edit: I am loving loving loving this!!

  46. teri says:

    Why does anyone care about Kim getting divorced. It’a not like she was ever a role model for anyone except others who want to make money from their looks. If you can do it fine. Kris H. was a jerk too from what I saw. I just don’t understand. This was pretty much par for the course. I always considered this kind of a comedy reality show about people with what I considered pretty shaky values.

  47. Lairen says:

    While I find the Kardashians to be irritating fame whores, I don’t understand the hate being directed at them that could be more useful directed elsewhere. Why sign a petition to cancel their shows, when the worst they do is talk in nasal voices and have fake lives? There’s reality shows out there that are actually detrimental to society, like Teen Mom or Toddlers & Tiaras, for example – those are shows which could actually use a petition to be cancelled.

  48. kiki says:

    Bravo to Buble for his on-stage comments! Nothing wrong with speaking your mind.

    That Jaxson character seems like a liar & a famewhore. But that’s what the Kartrashians get for playing the fame game, it’s all ‘who you know’ and they have proven they deal with scum. Karma.

  49. Kim says:

    Tapioca- Ill take Paris back anyday if it means we rid ourselves of the entire KarTRASHian clan forever! At least Paris doesnt look like a hairy, fugly man.

  50. Marjalane says:

    It always floors me when I read about a 16 year old being gifted with a big, expensive, very powerful car. When I was in CA, I’m pretty sure we weren’t, (by law) allowed to have anyone under the age of 18 in the car with you- so that leaves out her friends anyway. I’m glad I had a beater for the first few years- I was able to get all my accidents out of my system before I ever had a new car! I hate the Kardashians so much- can’t wait until they are a footnote in history.

  51. Turtle Dove says:

    Thank God. I am so sick of this bitch.

  52. NM9005 says:

    So now even cheating assholes like Michael Bublé (I loathe that name!) can have an opinion and call another woman bitch?? Jump on the bandwagon I guess. Please, he’s a bitch too. He just has a better career to fall back on. Actually those two would be a pretty good pairing, both dickwads.

  53. Jover says:

    Excellent Buble (someone with real talent); but more hollywood types need to start lampooning her; Kaboom you stole my thought I’ve worked in the legal field and discovery interrogatories public hearings (if it goes to that) more will come out, she would have been better passing this by even if he is a nut job.

  54. Jay says:

    I know people enjoy the C->K thing with these articles, but I just gotta say that “khurch” is really pushing it…

  55. dahlia1947 says:

    Everything’s unraveling! I listened to the interview and he also said that he’s doing this because he NEVER got paid. He sounds very sincere.

    He also said that the engagement ring is the same one from 07′. That a relative gave it to her as a gift. And he says that she got it on with Kanye. Ick.

    “All Jaxson is doing is desperately trying to get his own name out there.”

    I don’t believe this because then she would be suing him for ALOT more than $200,00.
    If she does any interviews calling him out on everything then I’ll believe he’s lying.

  56. imabrat says:

    I believe the lady has expired.

  57. snark says:

    Michael Buble can be wicked onstage when he wants to be. He is HILARIOUS.

  58. Turtle Dove says:

    dahlia1947:

    Do you have any links to things he’s said about her/them? I’m so glad that she’s edging towards obscurity!

  59. chloe w says:

    everytime i look at the fat bottom lip i just want to punch her in the face

    isn’t that terrible that she elicits that vitriole? wow

  60. Tuppiv says:

    People, online petitions aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on. Think about it: Not even 5,000 people have signed it. MILLIONS of people watch the show. Who is E! going to listen to? The 5k who want the show canceled, or the millions who watch and generate ratings/money?

  61. Jules says:

    How long did Lardashian think she was going to milk being nothing? Fake only lasts so long.

  62. Jezi says:

    The public is the one who is making the Kardashians what they are. They are just business people obviously playing the game and doing a good job. You can’t knock the hustle. No need to sign online petitions…just stop watching their shows or buying their products.

  63. Carolyn says:

    ‘ho ‘ho ‘ho Merry Christmas. See, good things do come to those who wait. I still can’t believe the Kartrashians are coming to an end because of their own doing. And Mama Kris continues to make it worse with publicising her dubious connections to Nicole Brown’s murder. Her husband got rid of vital evidence. Staggering. Maybe you can forgive stupidity and greed but you can’t run from distorting criminal justice. With regards to boycotting E! etc….we’d have more success by not buying any of their krap products. Hurt them where it would hurt most…their $$$. Maintain the rage!

  64. matt says:

    “There’s a petition to eliminate Kim from this movie, just as there’s a petition for E! to cancel all the Kardashian shows.”

    E sure. get that crap off the air where it might poison the minds of channel surfers. But does anyone honestly care about the Tyler Perry thing?

    I saw two of his movies. They have always seemed to me to be written like an Ayn Rand novel. I mean if she was an elderly, black, and christian woman.

  65. blair says:

    I signed the petition a week ago, a lot of people don’t even know it’s out there, or it would be even bigger by now. In my opinion, common knowledge that a lot of celebrity stuff is staged anyway. The public hated Kim Kardashian before any book. Shes is makeing a joke out of hard working people that need money more than her. What a manipulator.

  66. Jane says:

    Buble’s comment is a turnoff even when it’s about KK. He sounds immature. I remember when he was on American Idol, he asked Ryan Seacrest on air about that chick who just made headlines. Seacrest was dumbfounded because it was such a stupid thing to ask when 20+ million ppl were watching.

  67. norma says:

    @dawn: couldn’t agree more. liz taylor was however enlish/american, and was born in hampstead garden suburb, england.

  68. kimberly says:

    who didn’t know that all of the Kardashian shit was stages? I mean if you have to be one stupid ass person to think ANYTHING that has the Kardashian name is true or worthy of anything.

  69. dena says:

    This whole scandal is staged. For real.

  70. dahlia1947 says:

    Turtledove:

    Just click on ” did a radio interview” in this post.

  71. glowkey says:

    So, wait. Didn’t she also file a ridiculous lawsuit against Old Navy for supposedly using a lookalike in their ads and thereby “misusing” her likeness without her permission? But that suit was for a larger amount than this one against a former publicist who supposedly spilled details about her real (well, as real as any Kardashian could be) character? Use her image in ads is a bigger slight and more suit-worthy to this trashy clown than doing a tell-all about her actual words and behavior??

  72. Bambi says:

    If the Kardashians go the way of Jon and Kate + H8, there will be a seemingly endless amount of unpleasantness generating a supernova of attention that then turns into a black hole of disinterest.

  73. LuckyLilGem says:

    hard to read her facial expressions- too much botox!

  74. lol says:

    Kim ain;t suing anyone.. she threatens a lot but when push comes to shove she never goes through with it. Remember the guy & the texting just before the wedding & all the talk about suing.. LOL She blows smoke & other things but suing is not one of them.. Sad chic this broad needs to get over herself

  75. lol says:

    did’t she try to buy her own sex tape that was BS because she just wanted to draw attention to it again also.. She has been accused of copying in purses & fashions also by notable designers.. There all scammers..

  76. victoria says:

    yeeup the jig be up and shite..(yes long ‘I’) umm hmm

  77. Birdy says:

    Isn’t this the same thing at lead to Paris Hilton basically going away? Fake love story with a big ass fake engagament ring and when it died, all the attention that she usually got, went away as well?

    If it means she goes away forever, I’m in.

  78. Melissa Doris says:

    Please ya all should free the kardashians.. The public made all dem celebrities what they are 2day..I love that family…de ve got love..unity..dey support each other..dats strong..i see nothing wrong in wanting to be famous and being it…ya all should let dem be..Gosh!! They re unique in their own way

  79. Lady_Luck says:

    This woman is both vain and vacuous. Exposed finally for the fame-whore she is.

  80. Miranda says:

    Why would this dumb bitch draw more attention to herself by suing him?

  81. Catface says:

    They who hate on the KKs, are just bored uneducated humans who are just jealous because they didn’t have THEIR chance to make it big. I love all the Ks, and I think that Kim is genuine, gorgeous and whoever is a hater, they can go cry in their their little bed wishing they had an inch of her cojones (balls for all you morons). Leave the girls alone. They are smart and know how to work it.

  82. bobby says:

    Perfect grifters for decades of a dumbed down America. Saw this coming as well as a fake,unreal president. His diss of her was the first good thing about him.
