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.'

When I was 19 the same thing happended to me. Looking back, I was a child myself and this was the first time I experienced something like this. It is an awful situation that is confusing, shameful and scary. For any women out there, GET OUT. It does not get better. I did and am glad Kim did as well. We all deserve a better life.

Don't forget Ben Roethlisberger! The Grand Wizard of Thuggery. He sure is (violently) "touchy-feely" Date Rapist!!!

Funny how people always want to know why the woman stayed. Why doesn't anyone ask the men why they beat the hell out of their wives/girlfriends. Probably because we all know why: in the end people do what they want. Men pound women because they like it.

Best line of the year. LMAO!!

I fail to understand this fascination with the Kardashians. It's absolutely absurd. They are famous for doing absolutely nothing.
There's something wrong with our society when we are glorifying a family who has no talent and is getting rich because of our interest in their lives. Are our lives so boring that we need to watch this garbage?

i love Kim and think that a rich beautiful woman with such a sexy body should not even give a second of her time worrying about what a douche-bag narcissistic pseudo celebrity football player (or what ever he does) has to say about anything. Keep the puding!!

By Linda

The kardashian's would go away if everyone quit watching them. As long as people keep paying attention to them TLC will keep them on TV. Just like that joke Kate Gooselin if she would stop trying to be sometning she's not (Famous) and try being a mom for a change. Their all worthless.

I'm sorry but what I am going to say may sound racist. The truth of the matter is that people should not marry out of their race. Statistics show that black men and their macho thinking are more abusive to women. That was Chris Brown's mentality when he put a whooping on poor Rihanna.

By Chuck

I'm a white male and I'd want to beat her too!

Well, In the case of Rihanna and Chris, I thought they both ARE black...

By Tamra

Kim just loves to name drop, notice she mentions Justin Timberlake in her papers and I've heard her mention him when she was talking about the marriage to Damon, who was working with J.T. at the time.

By Diana

Kim likes attention, she wants something in the news about her every day it seems. First she wants her privacy, now she tells this to be in the news. I would have kept this under my hat.

By Bobby

Lets face it...she is crazy.

By gabymassen

I don t know why this story surfaced today
and cannot understand why she lived 4 years abused by her husband
and why she waited until he put her out and divorce her ?

Is she maso or something like that ?

and why she is telling that after she grabed by his neck a poor black cat for a photoshoot wich provoced a reaction from peta and from her fans

Why is she accusing her mum to force her to do a nude photo and playboy and to earn money with that

what about the sex tape ahhh it was her boyfriend who did it but she looks like she was looking to the camera and she did not look very unconfortable with that
her ex boyfriend said that he was not the one who put the sex tape on internet.

very ungratfull girl,

What is she going to tell us tomorrow to attract more attention on her.
BRAVO FOR A POOR BEATEN WIFE AND POOR FORCED DAUGHTER YOU ARE DOING WELL

By clevr

I don`t believe her.

She`s doing all she can to keep her buzz going.

She`s a categorical liar.

That`s the reason Reggie Bush and Ray J dumped her.

She`s totally dishonest, all these alleged charges should have been part of the divorce proceedings. He actually was the one to file for divorce, Go figure!

By Yoli

Who cares!!

By G35

I don't believe it. This is merely an attempt to increase her worth. She's lied before... this is no different. Enough already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By gumbypooch

Since when is it against the law to beat up a plastic mannequin?

By Joseph Roces

She deserves every bit of it!! she is a dirty skank...
