Kim Kardashian and Oprah WinfreyOprah Winfrey says Kim Kardashian's explanation for her short-lived marriage to Kris Humphries "leveled" her.

An interview by the media mogul with the entire Kardashian clan television stars is due to air on Sunday on her network OWN.

Oprah has revealed that the 31-year-old's split from the basketball player in October will be addressed in the program, Oprah's Next Chapter. "Everyone who's asked was the marriage a publicity stunt? Why did she leave after 72 days? Her answer leveled me," she wrote on her Facebook page.
