Kim Kardashian arrived to Australia on Tuesday and gave her first interview since announcing plans to divorce Kris Humphries after just two months of marriage.
Kim appeared on Australian radio show, "Kyle and Jackie O," and set the record straight surrounding her split. "I want to make clear that I would never marry for a TV show, for money... for anything like that, and I think that it's ridiculous that I even have to defend that."
The reality star admitted leaving the states was "actually an escape. I can get my mind off everything. There's no easy way to go through something like this."
Kim's sister Khloe told the radio hosts she was "proud" of her sister for "being so strong," and added that Kim is "indulging herself in work."
Kim and Khloe are in Sydney to launch their new handbag collection.
