Relationships

In 2000, Kardashian married music producer Damon Thomas; their relationship ended in divorce in 2004.

Kardashian dated R&B singer Ray J in 2007. Later in 2007, she began dating NFL star Reggie Bush after they met at the ESPY Awards.[48] The couple split at the end of July 2009.[49] On September 29, 2009, E! stated that Kardashian had visited Bush. "[Khloé's] wedding made her miss him, so she flew to see him".[50] According to their reality show, they began dating once again in October 2009, although they split again in March 2010.[51] She dated Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin up until August 2010.[52][53] She later admitted that she and Austin were indeed dating.[54] The couple split in September 2010.[55] She was later spotted with model Gabriel Aubry in November, but by December, they too had split.[56] Kardashian then began dating NBA player Kris Humphries of the New Jersey Nets.[57]

On May 18, 2011, Humphries and Kardashian became engaged. Humphries proposed with a custom-designed 20.5-carat Lorrain Schwartz diamond engagement ring.[58] On June 2, 2011, Kardashian stated in an interview with Allison Kugel that she is planning on using Kardashian as her middle name and taking Humphries as her last.[59]
Sex tape

In February 2007, a pornographic home video she made with singer Ray J was leaked.[60] Kardashian sued Vivid Entertainment for ownership of the tape. In late April 2007, Kardashian dropped the suit and settled with Vivid Entertainment for $5 million.[61]
Cookie Diet lawsuit

Dr. Sanford Siegal, the creator of the Cookie Diet, sued Kardashian, claiming she defamed him on Twitter. According to Siegal, Kardashian tweeted in October that he was "falsely promoting" that she was on the cookie diet. Siegal filed a claim in a Florida state court claiming the statements are false and defamatory. He also alleges that Kardashian was on QuickTrim's payroll when she posted the tweet. Kardashian's tweet appears to stem from an article on CookieDiet.com, that named Kardashian as one of many celebrities who saw positive results on the diet. Kardashian sent a cease-and-desist order to Siegal, demanding the link be removed.[62]
Activism

Kardashian has openly supported the recognition of the Armenian Genocide on numerous occasions and has encouraged Barack Obama and the United States government to consider its acknowledgement. On April 21, 2011, a few days before the 96th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, she has written about the issue on her blog in an effort to put it under spotlight and has also sent a tweet to her fans urging its recognition.[63]

On April 1, 2010, Kardashian joined Cyndi Lauper in the launch of her Give a Damn campaign to create a wider awareness of discrimination against the LGBT community as part of her True Colors Fund. The campaign is to bring straight people to stand up with the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered community and stop the discrimination. Other names included in the campaign are Whoopi Goldberg, Jason Mraz, Elton John, Judith Light, Cynthia Nixon, Clay Aiken, Sharon Osbourne and Kelly Osbourne.

However, she has also been on the receiving end of activism. Animal rights organization PETA has criticized her for repeatedly wearing fur coats, and named her as one of the five worst people or organizations of 2010 when it came to animal welfare.[64]
