While some producers of "unscripted" shows occasionally re-do scenes for various reasons, Life & Style magazine obtained a deposition from "Kardashian" producer Russell Jay who revealed that major sequences -- including Humphries' proposal to Kardashian and her "crying" about a rough spot in their 72-day marriage -- were staged.
Lawyers for Humphries took the deposition as part of the NBA star's fraud lawsuit against Kardashian. Jay reportedly admitted that Kardashian was "completely surprised" by Humphries' proposal in her bedroom, and that she didn't like her impromptu reaction.
According to Jay's deposition, she requested another take, saying, "Can we just like, have me come back in one more time and be, like, really surprised?"

Jay also stated in the deposition that a tear-filled heart-to-heart between Kim and her mom, Kris Jenner, about the difficulty of the new marriage was actually shot after she filed for divorce in 2011.
The magazine quotes Humphries' "pal" as saying, "Kris feels vindicated...This will prove how fake Kim and the show are."
But the deposition could also show that Humphries did indeed propose to Kardashian, even if she recreated the moment for the cameras, and that he clearly agreed to the re-shoot.
Regardless, their divorce drama doesn't appear to be ending any time soon. Kardashian, now pregnant with Kanye West's baby, is expected to provide sworn testimony in a deposition in the case in two weeks.
Of course, this isn't the first Hollywood divorce to make headlines. Click through to check out six more divorces that have gotten memorably ugly:

Kenya awaits presidential election ruling
Kenya's Supreme Court is
set to announce its decision on a challenge to Uhuru Kenyatta's election
as president.
The appeal was lodged by PM Raila Odinga, Mr Kenyatta's main
rival in the presidential poll this month.Official results said Mr Kenyatta beat Mr Odinga by 50.07% to 43.28%, avoiding a run-off by just 8,100 votes.
There is tight security at the Supreme Court. Violence after a disputed election in 2007 left more than 1,200 people dead.
The presidential, legislative and municipal elections held on 4 March were the first since the 2007 poll.
Mr Kenyatta and his running mate, William Ruto, are facing trial on charges of crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court (ICC) for allegedly fuelling unrest after that election. They deny the charges.
Electronic system failures On his Twitter account, Chief Justice Willy Mutunga wrote that the Supreme Court would deliver its decision "not later than 5pm" (14:00 GMT) on Saturday.
There is tight security around the Supreme Court in the capital, Nairobi, with all roads leading to the building closed.
Police chief David Kimaiyo warned on Friday that unrest would not be tolerated.
He said: "We have reports indicating that some parties have organised their supporters to converge outside the Supreme Court during delivery of the ruling, and we will not allow any such gatherings.
"There will be tight security in all parts of the country, we will not tolerate any form of violence."
The Supreme Court can either confirm Mr Kenyatta's victory in this month's vote, or overturn the result and call for a fresh election.
The BBC's Gabriel Gatehouse reports from Nairobi that whatever the outcome, there will be people who will be angry.
Outgoing President Mwai Kibaki has urged people to stay calm and accept the result, but much will depend on Kenyans' faith in their newly reformed judiciary, our correspondent adds.
Lawyers for Mr Odinga say their petition to the Supreme Court included allegations of vote manipulation, as well as problems with the registration of voters and an electronic vote counting mechanism.
On Friday, the Supreme Court reviewed recounts from 22 polling stations. Both sides claimed that the recounts vindicated their position.
Mr Kenyatta has called the election, which was largely conducted peacefully, a "triumph of democracy".
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has insisted that the vote was credible, despite technical failures with an electronic voter ID system and the vote counting mechanism.
International observers said the poll was largely free, fair and credible, and that the electoral commission had conducted its business in an open and transparent manner.

Berlusconi rejects new technocrat government for Italy
Mr Berlusconi is among several party leaders meeting the president
Italian centre-right leader Silvio Berlusconi says he is against the idea of a new technocratic government for Italy like that led by Mario Monti.
Instead, he said he was ready to back a coalition with centre-left leader Pier Luigi Bersani, to end the deadlock since the February election.
But Mr Bersani, whose bloc won a narrow lead in the polls, has ruled out a coalition with the right.If no government is formed, fresh elections may be called.
The stalemate is delaying reforms which could help revive Italy's recession-hit, debt-laden economy, which is the third-biggest in the eurozone.
Italy's political establishment was rocked by the electoral success of a protest movement, Five Star, which won a quarter of the vote on a platform attacking the parties of both right and left.
Mr Monti's technocratic government, formed in November 2011, remains in office until a new elected government is formed. He has said he "can't wait" to leave office.
'Tragic' technocrats Speaking after talks with President Giorgio Napolitano, Mr Berlusconi said he believed there was scope for agreement on action to address the economic crisis.
He said he would back a coalition made up of the left, right and centre.
Any new government must be made up of political parties, "given the tragic experience" of the Monti government, the People of Freedom party leader said.
Mr Berlusconi's ally Roberto Maroni, leader of the right-wing Northern League, also rejected another technocratic government, saying it would be better to hold another election.
Recent opinion polls suggest Mr Berlusconi and Mr Maroni have, between them, a narrow lead over the centre-left.
Mr Bersani has already tried and failed to form a new government, whether as a coalition or as a minority government.
"Only a mentally ill person could have a burning desire to govern right now," he said on Wednesday at a meeting with Five Star politicians.
Five Star, led by former comedian Beppe Grillo, has made clear it will not back any government led by either the centre-left or centre-right.
Mr Grillo posted an entry on his blog this week in which he called mainstream politicians including Mr Berlusconi and Mr Bersani "old whoremongers".
