Leave Kim Kardashian alone!
Celebrities make strange bedfellows, and rising starlet Olivia Wilde may be one of the few souls rushing to defend Kim Kardashian after the reality star’s blink-and-you-missed-it marriage.
Wilde, recently divorced herself, tried to shush the commoners from being too critical of Kardashian’s 72-day marriage.
The “Butter” star, who finalized her own high-profile divorce from Italian aristo Tao Ruspoli last month, told us at a Standard Hotel after-party for “Another Happy Day,” “I empathize. It’s not easy. It’s the hardest thing in the world. People judge you because divorce is seen as failure. [Kim] took a risk. No one should be attacking her. Our attention should be focused on things that are truly scandalous.”
Hmmm. Wilde’s marriage, while not the “Happily Ever After” variety, did last for eight years. That’s an eternity in Hollywood. The bigger question is, why can’t we judge a woman who treats the institution of marriage like another insipid reality show plot?
Marriage is hard. Divorce is even harder, and we should all take a pregnant pause before climbing up on our moral high horses. But it often should be done, and if not to castigate Kardashian for a sham marriage, then when?
