Kim Kardashian 'wasn't forced' over SNL divorce joke despite Kanye West's claims

Kim Kardashian was reportedly happy with joking about the demise of her marriage to Kanye West and the impending divorce, when she hosted Saturday Night Live.

The 44-year-old rapper has previously claimed that his estranged wife, 41, was "forced" to joke about him during her monologue on the show, but TMZ has now reported that the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star was not put in a difficult position over the jokes and embraced them and didn't make any amendments.

Show sources have told the US media site that claims made by Kanye when hitting out at the show during his appearance on the Drinks Champs podcast, are not warranted as Kim came with the jokes prepared to use.

It is believed that much of Kim's monologue was written a while ahead of the show and it had included the divorce jibe in there.

Kanye had complained that Kim must have been strong-armed into using the joke but sources have said that the reality star was more than happy for the line to be left in there.

Kim apparently pointed out that while she was still technically married to Kanye, she was not 'with' him anymore, hence rumours that she has now been dating SNL comedian Pete Davidson.

Sources have also told TMZ that contrary to Kanye's claims that he hasn't seen any "paperwork" regarding the divorce, the ending of his marriage to Kim is pushing forward at apace.

He apparently is being fully appraised of the situation and sources pointed to him agreeing to signing over their family home in Calabasas to Kim for $23 million as proof that he is aware that the divorce is going to happen.

Meanwhile, Kanye himself has been seen looking like he is moving on from Kim, after he was spotted at the courtside of a high school basketball game with 22-year-old Instagram model, Vinetria.
