Robert Kardashian's widow, Ellen, is fighting back

Robert Kardashian's widow, Ellen, is fighting back.

Last week, In Touch published excerpts from the shocking handwritten journals of Robert Kardashian, who left them to Ellen when he died of esophageal cancer in 2003.

The journals allege that Robert's ex-wife, Kris Jenner, was physically and emotionally abusive to their daughters and cheated on Robert repeatedly with other men. Kim Kardashian and Khloé Kardashian quickly took to Twitter, blasting Ellen as a lying opportunist. Now Ellen, 72, is defending herself to In Touch, claiming the sisters are, in fact, the ones who being dishonest.

Khloé said: "How can such a piece of trash even mention my father's name? You married him on his deathbed while he was not even aware of his surroundings."

Ellen tells In Touch: "To say that is completely false and horrible. I was with Robert for almost five years total. I dated him for three years, and he proposed to me in 2001. We married two months prior to his passing in 2003 and planned a wedding-- we didn't just run right out and get married. In fact, I met with the girls just the week before to go over all our plans. We had a beautiful wedding with the girls and all of his family at our home. It's sad they choose to lie when they know their father was so happy on that wonderful day."
