The Life And Times Of Kim Kardashian...Before Kanye West

I realized how intertwined Kim Kardashian's life is in the music industry, and the whole American social circle, and I thought it would be cool to give people a glimpse of her life before she got popular...or infamous. Kim was born and raised in L.A, California; so, you understand now why she loves the camera so much. She was born on October 21st 1980, to parents- Robert Kardashian (Defence Attorney), and Kris Kardashian. Kim's father was actually on O.J Simpson's defence team back when O.J caught the murder case in 1994. The couple divorced in 1990, and Kris Kardashian married Bruce Jenner the following year, and she became Mrs.Kris Jenner.

In 1998, Kim graduated from Marymount Highschool, located in Holmby Hills/Bel Air. She got married 2 years later to music producer, Damon Thomas when she was just 19. They got a divorce in 2004. I'm sure a lot of people don't know that Kim Kardashian was once Mrs. Kim Thomas.










In 2004, after her divorce, she became a stylist for Brandy. She also worked other assistant roles for several other celebrities, including being a shopper for Lindsay Lohan. As she got into the whole Hollywood lifestyle, she met and started dating Brandy's brother (Ray-J), around the mid 2000s. Later a sex tape with both of them in it surfaced in 2007. She sued Vivid Entertainment (the company that put the sex tape out there), and she got an out-of court settlement of $5 million. WOW! Is that serious cash or what?

In the same year the sex tape came out, she began dating New Orleans Saints running back, Reggie Bush. And that same year, she got a contract for a TV Series titled, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, with E! Network. The show stared/stars her other sister's Kourtney & Khloe; her brother, Rob; her mother, Kris, and her step father, Bruce Jenner. It has had various other spin-offs like- Kourtney and Kim Take New York. She and her sisters used their new found fame to open a clothing boutique called DASH in 2008- the first one was in L.A, but they now have outlets in New York, and Miami.




Kim has numerous other business ventures- she has released 5 fragrances to date. In her personal life, she dated Reggie Bush on and off from 2007-2010. She flirted with Kanye West around 2010, but her sister (Khloe) said in an interview that it was nothing serious, and that the two were just sleeping together. She started dating Kris Humphries some time in 2011, and he proposed marriage to her 6 months later. They got married on August 20 2011, and 72 days later, on October 31, Kim Filed for divorce.








A couple of weeks later, she was seen in various locations with Kanye West, and the two have been an item since then. I should add that earlier this year, Kim and the rest of the Kardashians got a new contract with E! Network for their Keeping Up The Kardashians TV show to keep airing on the TV network...the deal was worth $40 million...the highest payment for any TV series in history.
