ARE THESE WOMEN CURSED?Any man who marries into the Kardashian family seems doomed to drama and despair.
The latest victim of this Kardashian curse is Kim’s husband Kanye West, who was recently hospitalized after a very public meltdown.
Before that we had Khloe’s ex, Lamar Odom, passing out and nearly dying after an overdose in a Las Vegas brothel.
Drinking and drug problems have also bedeviled the father of Kourtney’s kids, Scott Disick, and you can’t help wonder how things might have been worse for him under the curse if he’d put a ring on it.

The glamorous family is collectively worth more than $300 million thanks to members’ endorsement deals, personal appearances and TV contracts but it seems no amount of money can save them from relationship problems.
Kim, 36, is already on marriage number three. She wed music producer Damon Thomas at 19 but divorced him three years later. Her second marriage to basketball player Kris Humphries famously lasted all of 72 days.
Various men she has dated but not married – including Ray J, Miles Austin, Reggie Bush and Gabriel Aubrey – have seen their stardom fade since hooking up with Kim.
Her “momager” mother Kris and late father Robert Kardashian divorced when she was a girl. The ink was barely dry on their divorce papers when Kris married Bruce Jenner.
That relationship ended after 22 years when Bruce transitioned into a woman, later re-emerging as Caitlyn Jenner. When he and Kris split in 2013 it was the seventh divorce in the extended family.

All this has prompted talk of a Kardashian curse. While there may be some merit to the rumor, the root of the problem is caused by fame rather than any particular sinister spell.
It’s hard enough to make relationships work in ordinary life, but it’s even more difficult when you constantly live out of the ordinary experiences. When your every move is followed by cameras and dissected on social media, the spotlight can bring added pressures and difficulties.
Choosing that life can bring wealth, influence and stardom. But health and happiness are often overshadowed in the media glare.
That’s a lesson the Kardashians have had to learn the hard way and it’s one anyone seeking to emulate them should keep in mind.
