Kim Kardashian :: Snubbed tomorrow's Stakes Day race meeting

Kim Kardashian has snubbed tomorrow's Stakes Day race meeting, leaving Melbourne Racing Carnival organisers bitterly disappointed. It's believed her recently announced divorce with Kris Humphries is behind the abrupt end to her Australian tour. The reality show star arrived in Australia on Wednesday morning to spruik her handbag line with sister Khloe.

 She appeared yesterday morning on Sunrise and greeted screaming fans at David Jones Sydney and Westfield Miranda. However she also had an appearance at Melbourne's Stakes Day on Saturday that she has now scrapped. She told the Herald Sun: "I am very disappointed that I am unable to attend the Swisse marquee but I hope to come back and work with the Swisse team at another point in time.
" Kim's management emailed the Swisse team at 2pm yesterday notifying them of her change of heart, and blaming it on emotional issues as a result of her recent divorce. Speaking to Fox radio this morning, Swisse spokesman Mitch Catlin said Kim's no show was 'a slap in the face', after many hours of hard work and repeated assurances the company marquee's star attraction was a sure bet.

 "It's a little bit disappointing from our perspective.
We wanted her to come to the marquee, we put in a lot of work. It wasn't to be." He denied reports the contract with Kim was worth more than $150,000 for a one hour appearance, but would not disclose an exact sum. Kim's decision is at odds with what she told Sunrise presenter Melissa Doyle and David Koch in her first live TV interview since announcing her impending divorce. "I really wanted to stick to my commitments to come out here," she said.
