Kris Humphries' divorce lawyers want to depose his soon-to-be-ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, on camera, which the reality TV star is vehemently opposed to, Breaking Celebrity News is exclusively reporting.
As we previously reported, during a brief hearing last Friday morning Kim's lawyer accused Humphries of attempting to prolong the proceedings for publicity, but Humphries is telling friends that he isn't intimidated by Kardashian or her high-powered attorney, Laura Wasser, and simply wants the truth to come out about their marriage at a trial.
The judge handling the bitter divorce gave the go-ahead for Humphries to depose Kardashian, and his lawyers want it to be videotaped, which is routinely done. However, Kim is going to fight any filming of the proceedings.
"Kris' lawyer Lee Hutton has told Laura (Wasser) that he intends to videotape Kim's deposition, which is common practice in divorce proceedings. This is done in case a witness becomes unavailable at trial, and the deposition can be used as evidence. Kardashian's camp has vowed to vehemently fight having the deposition taped, they don't think it's necessary and are afraid that it could get leaked to the media, despite assurances from Kris' lawyer all video evidence will be kept in a safe and won't see the light of day until the trial," a source close to the former couple tells us.
"It's very likely that Wasser will file legal docs asking the judge to intervene and not have the deposition filmed, and Kris' team is ready for that, and will cite numerous cases in which a spouse has been deposed on camera. Kris is just baffled at the opposition he is getting from Kim and he is vowing to take this to trial, unless Kim publicly apologizes to him, and admits that the marriage was a fraud. He absolutely isn't interested in her money, period," the source adds.
