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.'

She deserves everything she gets. Now she's messing about with a Brazilian soccer player, because Reggie has "shoved her out". Wait for the next drama here. She's a disaster waiting to happen.

I'm sure it's not easy even for Kim Kardashian to have to admit these unsavory details of her former marriage; however, she is using her celebrity to help a large portion of the population by admitting the horror she lived through. She may inspire (and save) countless women who feel too ashamed and alone to get out of similar situations. Even if she saves just one, in my opinion, she 'done good'. Think about it & ask yourself what about this article is causing you to be so critical and judgmental.....

I totally agree with you. I was in an abusive marriage and it took me 2 years to get out. My son was 9months old and my son was the reason for me to leave. I left with the close on my back and one bottle for my son. Thank God for all the emergancy Shelters, it saved my life and my son's. My ex had money and I don't leave because of the fear not the money. My son is 6 yrs old and he is a very happy child. I am glad I left. Money don't buy love..

Oh Brother! Another one crying to try and get money and attention in Hollywood. Do these people really live a quiet life or do they just constantly try to get some sort of attention? They are all in need of some sort of medical treatment not to mention a good whip azz beating with rubber billy clubs.

Isn't it funny how there are just so many racist people still out there. I don't know what world most people are living in but, several people have been with a black guy and if it didn't work and started a relationship with a white or other race who cares. If Kim would want you the racist one, you wouldn't turn her down whether she was with black, brown or indifferent. Broaden your horizon, and think outside the box, maybe leave your small town you're in that is if you're not afraid to live and accept others for who they are and not focus on skin color.

Kim KarThrashian hasn't learned from her abuse she'll date any guy, that's the problem with her

By cupofjoe

Im thrilled that Damon Thomas has been exposed for the abuser he is-! No matter what we may all think about the Kardashian's or the show- no women deserves to be hitt by a man-. I'm extremely sad that Kim Kardashian had to experience such violence at such an early age. Men tend to hurt and abuse women because usually they are dealing with insecurities within themselves, and it gives them power and control. As a dad of a 20 year old daughter I have instilled into her the importance of being respected by her partner and how unaceptable for any man to ever lay hand's on her. If you or any one you know is in an abusive relationship-Call the Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-787-3224

What in the world did she see in him other than he being a music producer?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? So much for beauty.

By JBaer

I pity Ms. Kardashian very much--God knows she gets more flak than she deserves--but I wonder what kind of jollies we're supposed to get from constantly hearing stories like this. Apparently the Chris Brown-Rihanna saga taught us nothing.

By Nada DashFan

Gosh, I sure am glad she was able to make it to skydiving despite her wounds! Priorities, priorities. Shouldn't she have been at the police station filing a report???

Another "Whoa is me". Can't get enough media attention so now I have to talk about something that happened 7 years ago. Poor, poor Kim. Did the camera's quit following you for a day so you had to stir them up again? Get a life!!!

By jillalane

She seems to go for "bad boys". My experience and own humble opinion is that, "bad boys = sick boys".

Just another reason to hate Da Home Boys........

She should have had the dude thrown in jail.

Who cares? I am so sick and tired of reading about the Kardashians! Who and what are they that every move any of those bimbo ladies make is written about. They are nothing but notoriety seekers to keep themselves in the public eye. They have about as much appeal as a dead snake. Enough already.
