Kris Humphries' Parents File for Divorce at Worst Possible Time

by Julie Ryan Evans on August 19, 2012 at 1:26 PM

Kris HumphriesToday is the one year anniversary of the day Kim Kardashian married Kris Humphries, and oh what a difference a year makes. Today they're embroiled in a messy divorce that's not likely to end anytime soon; she's Kanye West's "Perfect Bitch"; and Humps is busy serving up subpoenas in a Nordstrom box to take her down. Now adding even more crazy to the whole mess is the fact that Humphries' parents -- Debra and William Humphries are getting divorced too.

According to TMZ, Debra filed for divorce in Minnesota earlier this month. It's a family affair! If rumors are true that Bruce and Kris Jenner are headed for divorce too, they really all should have waited. I'm sure some attorney would have given them a pretty good three-for-one deal.

Seriously though, how awful is their timing?

It seems they could have at least waited until their son's divorce was done before they started theirs, no? No one seems to know how long they've been married, but based on the age of Kris and his older sisters, it's safe to say it's close to 30 years. Would it really have killed them to wait a few more months?

If nothing else it certainly tarnishes his whole holier-than-thou professions about his views on the sanctity of marriage. Not that divorce doesn't happen to good people, but all along he and his family have painted themselves as this solid, mid-western family with the highest of values. Now this. I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow try to blame the Kardashians for the whole thing.

In any case, you'd think as parents they'd be able to momentarily put their issues aside for their son. Your parents' divorce is never easy no matter your age, so for Kris to have to deal with this on top of everything else seems like a pretty big burden. I typically have no sympathy for the guy, but this makes me feel at least slightly bad for him.

If they were miserable or there were problems too big deal with they could have moved to separate homes, kept their distance, or whatever they needed to do for awhile. Formally filing for divorce now, however, seems like it can only add more heartache to what's already a huge headache of a mess for all involved. 

Do you think Kris Humphries parents should have waited to file for divorce?

    Why should the shithead's parents' life revolve around HIS divorce. Kim and Kris' divorce should have been finalized LONG ago. Kris is the one dragging it out because of his own selfish hunger for money and public attention.

    He and his sisters are adults, so their parents are entitled to their lives.  Not plannning your life around your adult children is one of the perks of getting older....one of few, trust me.

    If he wasn't.such a douchebag his divorcewould of been final a long time ago. His mother probably got tired of waiting for his greedy ass. If he is a product of his father I can understand why his mother would want to get the hell out. He has no clue to respect women which he must of learned somewhere.

    its ridiculous to say his parents shouldve wait. Why? Its already been said, their lives shouldnt have to revolve around his. & if it werent for him being a douchebag, his divorce wouldve been done & over with a long time ago. He just wanted to drag it out & milk that fame for as long as he could

    why should people stick together for grown children if they are not getting along? Seems they would be more helpful to their children in a time like this if they were happy themselves not pissed they were forced to stay together. That would probably make them not be their for their child at all.

    Speaking generally of course, and about grown 30 year old children. I dont know much about the whole Kardashian thing lol

    Kris is a big boy. He can handle himself, he just chooses stupid ways to do so. His parents have every right to get divorced when they want. Were they supposed to ask his permission or something?

    Why should they have to wait and be miserable? Their kida are grown already no need to protect them from anything. To suggest that they stay together and be unhappy to not stress him is stupid. He's grown he'll be ok.
