Kim Kardashian has settled with a former publicist who claimed her 72-day marriage was "staged."

After the reality star filed for divorce from Kris Humphries last October, publicist Jonathan Jaxson made the media rounds saying the marriage was bogus. But now, as part of a settlement, Jonathan has issued a public apology on his website. He writes, "I wanted to apologize publicly to Kim Kardashian for any confusion that I may have caused by the personal statements I made recently regarding Kim Kardashian. I would like to further clarify that I did not have any first-hand knowledge of Kim's relationship with Kris. Any statement I made regarding Kim and her marriage was my opinion only and was not intended to imply first-hand knowledge of Kim's thoughts and feelings."
