Los Angeles, June 28 (IANS) Reality TV star Kim Kardashian West hit rock bottom after her 2011 split from second husband Kris Humphries.

The “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star encountered a lot of backlash after ending her marriage to the NBA player after just 72 days, and admitted that she thought her days as a celebrity were over, reports people.com.

“When I was going through the divorce I did say to everyone, ‘You guys, I think our careers are over. I hope you’ve saved your money. And now we’ll just continue to do our clothing stores and what we started off doing before the show. I totally thought it was over,” Kim told British businessman Martin Sorrell in an interview.

The 34-year-old explained that she was being “very paranoid” and decided to take some time off to regroup.

“The time was really good for me,” she said. “I cancelled everything. I had a book tour, I had a fragrance launch, I had everything that you could possibly imagine and I just cancelled it all and I took time for me.”
