Before you knew about Kims divorce, here's what she told her family. Breaking the news to them first via email.

Before Kim Kardashian annnounced publicly that she'd be divorcing Kris Humphries, she gave some members of her extended family the heads up via email.
Here's what she said in the message:

"I would rather you hear it from me than someone else or the news."
"I know this seems crazy … I've spent the last few months struggling with my marriage."
"Kris is a great guy but we come from such different worlds and he isn't what I thought when we 1st met."
"I'm embarrassed that I took everyone on this journey with me and had this huge wedding. But I have to be happy, so I have to let this relationship go. "

Can't blame you for being a bit embarrassed, Kim.
