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 bet Thomas was like that because he himself was cheating. But to be fair we haven't heard the other side of it. It's kind of hard to believe that he hit her, cut her lip open, hurt her knee and yet still went skydiving w/ Justin Timberlake? Anyway. No woman should ever be abused. That just shows it's not true love when men treat women like that. OR, the woman lied/cheated and the relationship is destroyed anyway. Either way, the best thing to do is go your seperate ways ASAP. It's best for everybody.

Now the video taped coc* gobbling chick needs sympathy. Give me a break. She likes to be pretty nasty on tape and then she wants to be an angel. Wow what a messed up generation.

Gee, I find it hard to feel sorry for Kim...She should have tried to learn more about the habits of da "ghetto garboons", befo marryin one. LOL...She found out dat it's not jus bout' rollin in da hay...She should have learned the first rule of datin da garboon: Always carry a watermelon or banana wid you, cause it have a calmin effect on dem...

By Trouble

sometimes the nice choir boy with upscale family backgrounds are the worst abusers.A coward hits a woman

By Eddie Temple

Damon should have beat Kim with a solid-wood closet stick to make the beatings more effective. I don't condone violence against women, but if you're going to do it...do it right.

By Nina

Looks like no one is touching the elephant in HER room.

By J.P.W.

I see Ms Kim, is really attracted to Good descent black men, why young lady are you tring so hard to pull them down??? We are so thankful to our Lord Jesus Christ, that Reg got away from you. LOL...your a loose cannon, and Reg don't look back.

By Dat Dude

Kim is like Halle Berry, always the victim! what is she going to do when her show gets cancelled? she has no talent

By mbonhamwolv

Too bad that Kim isn't friends with Mike Tyson. If the allegations are true, and maybe if she was friends(and friends only(platonic))w/out benefits, Mike could take another punch(outside of the ring), this time directing it towards Kim's ex, Damon.

By Harley

Thats what you get you pick a thug. These women seem to be hung on thugs. It would be nice to see something else pop up on TV rather than Bruce Jenners f uped family.

By Cutie

Women use to take more time finding a husband than picking out a new dress. Nowadays women think because they had great fathers all men are that great. The only women who pick well are the ones who had abusive fathers, many do not repeat their mothers errors.

What world are u living in....? Wake Up !!! and smell the @#@#%coffee...LOl

SHE IS AN IDIOT, I WOULDNT HIT A WOMEN, BUT IM SURE KIM IS A NIGHTMARE AND ISNT EASY TO DEAL WITH, REGGIE BUSH DID THE SMARTEST THING IN HIS LIFE BY NOT MARRYING HER, SHE IS A LIAR AND A FRAUD SHE SAYS SHE IS ALL NATURE, WHICH IS TOTALLY FALSE. I KNOW HER FATHER IS HAVING A HARD TIME RESTING IN PEACE WITH HIS 3 IDIOT DAUGHTERS, AND KIM BEING THE RING LEADER OF THEM ALL.

By Mary

Kim mentioned the marriage and the abuse several times on Keeping Up With The Kardashians. I don't what rock you have been hiding under not to know.

By shar

KIM - for God's sake! Who's your adviser?
KIM - for God's sake! Get a job and stop already with the bullXXXX. How do you even look in the mirror and have one OUNCE of self-respect? So, you're beautiful! SO WHAT!
You seem like a nice girl - I hope you take a real look in the mirror and look for signs of self-respect vs. the fake, phoney, shallow that's so visible now.

By Hannah

Did I miss copies of all the police reports that were filed for each of these incidents of abuse?

I do not understand how someome could get the crap beat out of them, then go SKYDIVING. I have all the sympathy in the world for women who REALLY suffer from domestic abuse, but a lot of this does not ring true. I mean, her daddy was a famous LAWYER...she did not have to tolerated getting even pinched, much less hit and bruised.
