Kim Kardashian: My Husband Beat, Abused Me

Kim Kardashian Abused By Husband, She Claims

Kim Kardashian claims that she was a victim of domestic violence during a marriage that many people (including PopEater) had no idea ever happened. New documents from Kim's 2003 divorce allege that her ex-husband, music producer Damon Thomas, beat and abused her on a regular basis during their marriage. The shocking claims include accusations that Thomas punched Kim in the face and demanded she get liposuction. The documents and claims ... after the jump.

According to the documents, which were first published in Britain's Daily Mail, Kardashian was 19 at the time she and Thomas, then 29, tied the knot in January 2000. According to Kardashian's statements in the divorce papers, soon after their nuptials, the abuse began.

"Damon first hit me a few months after we were married," she says in the statement, going on to describe several instances of alleged abuse in detail.

"One incident occurred on the day that Damon and I were going skydiving with Justin Timberlake," Kardashian says. "Before we left home, Damon hit me in the face and cut my lip open. I fell into the bed frame and banged my knee hard."

Kim goes on to tell of another incident in which Damon "learned that I had paged someone," which then led to another violent episode. "He became enraged and punched me in the face. My face was bruised and swollen as a result."

Kim then admits to a decision that haunts many domestic violence victims.

"I thought about calling the police but was afraid and decided not to do so."

In yet another incident detailed in the papers, Kim says, "[Thomas] came at me and slammed me against the closet wall ... He held me up against the wall with his hands around my neck and threatened to choke me. He then took one hand and punched the wall right next to my head."

Aside from physical abuse, Kardashian says that Thomas also used to abuse her psychologically. Kim claims she was forced to quit her job and stay at home because Thomas "wanted to know where I was at all times." "He often arrived home at 4:30AM and expected me to prepare a meal for him at that hour," she says. He would also demand that she "ask permission" to go to the store or out to dinner with friends.

Another claim made by Kardashian is that Thomas gave her thousands of dollars and told her to get liposuction.

After three years of marriage, Thomas filed for divorce in 2003. In 2004, it was made official and he was ordered to pay Kim $56,000.

As a music producer, Thomas has worked with countless popular artists, including Lionel Richie and Pink. He also produced the soundtrack for the Oscar-nominated 2006 film 'Dreamgirls.'

i don't see why anyone would abuse such a beautiful and perfectly shaped woman like Kim, or any woman for that matter.

By Mark

Funny how all these celebrities in the public eye scream for privacy out of one side of their mouth while their telling their life story out of the other side. If you are in the public's eye, you are fair game for any criticism. Isn't that right Tiger Woodie??

By If looks could

As the saying goes " you can't make chicken salad out of chicken sh*T"..Some have fame and glory thrust upon them, others seek it out. We all know where Kim fits in to the equaison...By the way, what is her claim to fame? What has she done that she thinks she is so news worthy? What are her SKILLS?? What is she good at? Nevermind I think we all know the answer to that one...

Just what is it that this bimbo (and her sister) are famous for?
She is very attractive, thanks to all the enhancements, but what is her talent? She's treated as a VIP but just what has she done to earn it? I expect her talents are hidden...in the bedroom with the lights out....but she sure likes to talk about it.

She is a typical Hollywood dirt bag, he is a dirt bag, so what else would you expect. They deserve each other.

Maybe not NORMAL women, but those brainless kardashian slugs; who cares!!!!

It's not a black thing....it's a man thing. Most men are that way as they have to control their women, have the power over them and cannot control their jealous tempers. It's a known fact that most abusers are males. Fortunately, Kim did not get killed and is living a healthy life now.

By kevin

domestic abuse is terrible. I never would want to see or hear that some one is going through it , but as someone who was falsley accused I would hope that she is not making false alligations because when you are accused of something like this you are guilty and can never prove yourself innocent.

By greg

Well, she does have a fat butt.

By ginny

I agree with your post..violence against anyone doesn't just pertain to one race or gender..it's a shame and disgusting anyone feels the need to inflict physical or mental abuse on another

By been there

I was in a relationship for over 15yrs with a man like the one Kim has exsposed. It take a lot of faith and courage to run, but its not easy, these men know what to do to put a unhealthy fear in your mental daily, it could be a look a touch or words that has u on pins an needles constantly, and he was black. But Im her to tell U any man can be an abuser, I know of many white women in the same situation still. Long story short I got OUT N was blessed with a wonderful BLACKMAN who is loving, kind and attentive to me , so don't consider my BROTHERS as the only abusive type because thats all Kim likes(BLACKMEN). I not mad at her, she'll find Mr. RIGHT, but mr wrong has many faces.

By jb

i like how she had to mention JT by name, kim said she was married before on the show, i fell these details are now public because the kardashians fell their fame dropping off and needed a new boost of publicity.

By RYAN

If you get beat up once its not your fault,if you get beat up twice because you didnt leave its totally your fault.....and you are an idiot.

By mommy00

only a stupid man would say that!! its not her fault. she was afraid and very young. She did get out of it tho. Weather she was hit once or for 20yrs no one deserves it. Some one should beat the hell out of that ex husband of hers!!

By smaepmy55

A man beat his wife 20 times, she got flowers once, at her funeral..... there are many reasons for not leaving, mostly self esteem that she lost along with the beatings, along with all the sorrys(the honeymoon phase) and the hope things will change. How dare you Ryan, and no I am not a victim nor will I ever be,of domestic violence or your attittude thank you!

By kim

in most cases i wouldn't agree. HOWEVER, in a high profile family like hers i do agree. her and her family had more then enough money to get away from him after the first time it happened.

By Mommy00

Kim and her family are human just because they have money and fame doesnt mean they will have the perfect life. They go threw what the average person does as well. NO ONE can speak unless they have gone threw it!!
