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.'

Who cares....if this was a normal everyday person, would they get attention like this after seven years let alone after it happened? Probably not...so tabloids move on already.

I find it disgusting that people thrive on other people's drama, misery, heartache, etc.

By jon

Could not agree more. They scream or want thier privacy? But at the same time crocodile tears, He adused me . Or My Dad/Husband/Boyfriend/Brother/Aunt ect. ect.ect. did this to me ......... holding back tears. Only a mater of time before they run out of poor abused me. Maybe someting happened while they were asleep and dont remember. lol

She should have gotten some pointers from her late father who thought his buddy OJ wasn't an abuser. Look where that got him.

By hillary

if u watched the first season of keeping up with the kardashians, then u would know that she had been married before. the last episode of the season talked about the pix of kourtney when they were teens. those r the same pix that r stated in the divorce papers. she said in the episode that her ex husband had the pix.

stay away from the THUGS .........

Kim take Sandra Bullock with you and GO, we are fed up with you both.

By anne jessen

Can we go 1 day without seeing this twat?

I can relate to Kim, I have been a victim of domestic violence with my son's father and it's very hard to let go of someone you are in love with. What is does is kill everything in you and it takes a lot of strengh from GOD to let go and let the higher power take care of it. I called the police and I got a restraining order.

By Jim Fawcett

From what I've seen on "Keeping up with the Kardashians," she probably deserved it. Someone had to pound sense into that girl and it took another brother to do it! Kudos to Damon.

nothing against any race but i want to know why those girls only date black men.

By kenny

Thats what happens when all of the men in your life have such good suntans ...Kim....lol

By LISA O

I don't agree with violence...but on another note who cares! Enough about this "useless does nothing for society" woman.

By Shaundeice

How did PopEater not know she had been married before. It wasn't a secret. They even made mention of it on their show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians".

By Kelli Potomac

I'm white and I date a lot of brothers and if she got beat ip, believe me, she asked for it.

By jsoj7

Well maybe if she wasn't such a spoiled socialite and was a giver instead of just a taker then maybe she'd get the respect she desires.

By RICO MARCIANO

First--who is Kim Kardashian?? She can't sing, dance or act and she's not that good-looking! According to the media--she's a talentless, thrill-seeking, trouble-making nobody and the spoiled daughter of some rich guy--who's trying to seek fame through any means possible--good OR evil--am I right? Stop writing about her, stop taking her picture and get her off TV!

By jacko

Right from the start she was hooked on coal sausage

By thea schloser

Any one ubusing same one ,there is a mental problem behind this and most of the time ,the ubused peorsen ,has a weakness too .

Usely there are signes from the ubuser,but we think ,I can help him ,but we can not .

By hal

They keep on saying om the show how close they are as a family. They always confide in each other. It didn't happen here. Also someone said that she got out of the marriage. He divorced her.

By Bob

I think Reggie Bush is a good choice. Course I live in Louisiana and a Saints Fan. WHO DAT!!
