To be fair, I guarantee that if I were in the same situation &#8211; offered millions of dollars to act vapid and superficial, I&#8217;d probably get sucked in just as easily. However, as a person sitting on a $400 couch in a somewhat shady area of town who can&#8217;t find a college course to crash because there are like, 2 teachers at my university, I still feel like the money being thrown at these Barbies could be better used elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>And when they fail to recognize how INSANELY LUCKY, how UNFAIRLY OVERPAID they are, I just about lose my mind. Take Kim Kardashian, for example, who reportedly banked $20 million dollars off her wedding to a guy she&#8217;d divorce less than three months later. Amid rumors that the marriage was all a scam, she released an open letter to her fans, and boy was it a doozy. I have bolded the best parts for easy skimming.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>This is probably the hardest thing I\u2019ve ever had to write. I see all of the support and I am so thankful for my fans, friends and family who are helping me through this difficult time.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><\/p>\n<p>I am trying not to read all the different media reports but it\u2019s hard not to see all the negative ones. First and foremost, I married for love. I can\u2019t believe I even have to defend this. <strong>I would not have spent so much time on something just for a TV show!<\/strong> I share so much of my life on a reality show, that contemplating whether to even film my wedding was a tough decision to make, and maybe it turned out to not be the smartest decision. But it\u2019s who I am! We filmed Kourtney giving birth, Khloe getting married, break ups, make ups, our best moments and our worst moments. <strong>These were all real moments.<\/strong> That\u2019s what makes us who we are. We share, we give, we love and we are open!<\/p>\n<p>Everyone that knows me knows that I\u2019m a hopeless romantic! I love with all of my heart and soul. <strong>I want a family and babies and a real life so badly<\/strong> that maybe I rushed in to something too soon. I believed in love and the dream of what I wanted so badly. I felt like I was on a fast roller coaster and couldn\u2019t get off when now I know I probably should have. I got caught up with the hoopla and the filming of the TV show that when I probably should have ended my relationship,<strong> I didn\u2019t know how to and didn\u2019t want to disappoint a lot of people<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019m being honest here and I hope you respect my courage <\/strong>because this isn\u2019t easy to go through. But I do know that I have to follow my heart. I never had the intention of hurting anybody and<strong> I accept full responsibility for my actions and decisions, and for taking everyone on this journey with me<\/strong>. It just didn\u2019t turn out to be the fairy tale I had so badly hoped for.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There are also reports that I made millions of dollars off of the wedding. These reports are simply not tru<\/strong>e and it makes me so sad to have to even clarify this. I\u2019m so grateful to everyone who took the time to come to my wedding and <strong>I\u2019ll be donating the money for all the gifts to the Dream Foundation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I\u2019m sorry if I have hurt anyone,<strong> but my dad always told me to follow my heart<\/strong> and I believe now that I really am.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>What do you think? Is Kim being legit? Or is this just the bow on the gift of bullsh*t that she (and the rest of reality television) has been bestowing upon us since the very first episode of Real World?
