Khloe Kardashian has addressed her divorce from husband Lamar Odom publicly for the first time.
The reality star admits she is going through "torture" over the "heart breaking" split and has begged for an end to false reports and rumours surrounding the split.
The rumour mill went into motion when it emerged she would be filing divorce papers in Los Angeles last Friday and the US tabloids have since linked her to American professional baseball player Matt Kemp while apparent details of her divorce settlement have emerged.
But the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star has now addressed the divorce for the first time after posting a message on Twitter on Wednesday.
She wrote: "This, in and of itself, is heart breaking and torture to my soul. Please, I don't need the extra rumors and BS right now."
However, Khloe's mother Kris Jenner insists her daughter is staying "strong" after deciding to end her four-year marriage. Khloe and Lamar in happier times

Kris told E! News: "Khloe really is so great. She's really strong and ... the good news is that she's busy and you know, keeps herself real busy. But she's good.
"She's got such a big heart but she also is very sensitive. She's got that tougher exterior and sensitive inside, but she's good. She's got all of us around her and I'll see her later, and yeah, she's good. I was with her yesterday and she's a gift.
"She's one of my biggest blessings."
She added: "I think that when you have a tough decision to make and you finally make it, it's always a relief to come through that process, but it is a process. So we'll see."
Court documents for Khloe's divorce from Lamar were filed by high profile American attorney Laura Wasser - who represented Khloe's sister Kim during her divorce from Kris Humphries - at Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday with Khloe citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split.

The television personality is not asking for spousal support and splitting any assets should be clean as they have a prenup and have kept their property separate.
Keeping Up With the Kardashians star Khloe married NBA basketball player Lamar in 2009 exactly one month after they met at a party for Lamar's then Los Angeles Lakers teammate Metta World Peace.
News of the divorce comes after months of speculation surrounding the couple with Lamar's alleged drug abuse putting a strain on the marriage.
In August this year the sportsman was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and had a spell in rehab soon after.
In September, reports claiming the couple had been living apart surfaced after the pair had not been seen together in weeks. Khloe Kardashian attends The Hollywood Reporter's 22nd annual Women In Entertainment Breakfast Honoring Oprah Winfrey

However, in October, Khloe and Lamar were seen with the rest of the Kardashian/Jenner family in the VIP section at a Kanye West concert in Los Angeles.
But the pair did not spend the Thanksgiving holiday together with Lamar choosing to visit his father Joe.
Khloe has posted a number of cryptic messages online in recent months which appeared to relate to her turbulent personal life.
Just the day before she filed the divorce papers, Khloe posted an image on photo sharing website Instagram which contained such a message.
It read: "I am strong because I've been weak. I am fearless because I've been afraid. I am wise because I've been foolish."
Police plucked the victim from the ocean close to St Kilda's pier
SYDNEY (AP) — A tourist in Australia had to be rescued by police after plunging off a pier while browsing Facebook on her phone, officials said Wednesday.
The woman was walking along a bay in Melbourne on Monday night when she became distracted by her Facebook feed and plummeted off the pier into the chilly water, Victoria state police said.
A witness called for help and police rushed to the woman's aid. They found her flailing around in the water, about 20 meters (65 feet) from the pier.
"She was still out in the water lying on her back in a floating position because she told us later that she couldn't swim," Senior Constable Dean Kelly of the state water police told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. "She still had her mobile phone in her hand and initially she apologized and said sorry.The woman had a backpack on, which may have helped her to stay afloat, he said."
The woman was taken to a hospital for treatment. It has been reported the woman was Taiwanese and in her mid-20s.
"With Facebook, or social media in general as far as we're concerned, if you're anywhere near the water just pay attention," Kelly said. "Especially if you can't swim."
Former Zamfara state governor and serving senator of the federal republic of Nigeria, Sen. Ahmed Yerima has allegedly divorced his 17 year old Egyptian wife, Marian after three years of marriage and has married a new wife.
The reports says
AHMED SANI YERIMA
Sen.Yerima and four men, said to be members of the Zamfara State House of Assembly were in Egypt a few weeks ago for the wedding of Fathia, a new bride said to be 15 years old.
Marian who is now 17 and a mother of one, is believed to be the daughter of the former governor’s driver whenever he visits Egypt. The reason for the divorce is to enable him take a new wife as he’s not allowed more than four wives.
The Senator is alleged to have married and divorced a few women in the last few years but has never changed his first three wives, only the fourth ones.
Sen. Ahmed Yerima this year was strongly against the establishment of 18 years as the legal age for marriage.
