"Kim Kardashian has admitted that the breakdown of her marriage to Kris Humphries was &amp;quot;probably the toughest thing&amp;quot; she has ever faced. The reality star, who ended her marriage to Humphries after 72 days, appeared on The Tonight Show and told Jay Leno that she owes her family &amp;quot;so big&amp;quot; for supporting her during the aftermath.  Kardashian also revealed that she never expected such a hostile reaction from the media. &amp;quot;I pride myself and my family on being an open book,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;This is what we do - we share our lives on a reality show. And so when this is our reality and this is what&amp;#039;s really happening, we show it. &amp;quot;It was really tough to go through and I didn&amp;#039;t know that the media would be so brutal with it, but I learned so many lessons and it&amp;#039;s changed who I am as a person, I think for the better, and the things that I care about in life have completely changed because of this. So I really think everything happens for a reason.&amp;quot;  Kardashian explained that she is &amp;quot;in love with love&amp;quot; and continued: &amp;quot;I thought this was it for me but when I realised it wasn&amp;#039;t... I&amp;#039;ve always tried to be really respectful to everyone involved. I wanted to be fair to me but I also wanted to be fair to someone else. &amp;quot;I hear stories of people who are married for ten years and they knew it wasn&amp;#039;t right but they wanted to stick it out, then they involve kids... I believed in love, I still do, but I felt like to be fair to everyone I just knew I had to end it. And I&amp;#039;m okay with that decision - I know I made the right decision.&amp;quot;  Kardashian acknowledged that some of her family were unhappy about the marriage but explained that when she is in love &amp;quot;you can&amp;#039;t tell me anything&amp;quot;, adding: &amp;quot;You look back and you&amp;#039;re like, &amp;#039;Okay, that was a sign&amp;#039; or, &amp;#039;Maybe I should have listened to them&amp;#039;, but I wouldn&amp;#039;t have been who I am today if I hadn&amp;#039;t gone through that.&amp;quot; Kardashian also denied claims that her marriage was fake, saying: &amp;quot;We are exactly who we are whether the cameras are on or off, and that&amp;#039;s why I love my family so much. What you see is what you get, and I showed my life and the reality of my life, and it might not be pretty all the time, but it&amp;#039;s who I am and I learned so much from it.&amp;quot; Humphries&amp;#039;s lawyers recently released a statement vowing that the basketball player will &amp;quot;set the record straight&amp;quot; about the short-lived marriage.
