After announcing his decision to file for an annulment of his 72-day marriage rather than going through a divorce from Kim Kardashian – sources are now saying that Kris Humphries feels like a "pawn" and that his marriage was fraudulent.

According to an insider, the NBA player believes the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star only used him as a groom to increase ratings for her show.

"Once they were finished taping, she just didn't need a groom anymore,” a source revealed to TMZ.

"He is sensitive to marriage both emotionally and religiously," another source told The News. "He entered the marriage in good faith and genuinely loved her and is devastated that it turned out like this."
