For someone who is highly popular and well known for her personal life, not much has been revealed about Kim Kardashian’s first marriage, that is until now.
Star magazine was able to uncover the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star’s divorce documents, which shockingly details abuse at the hands of her former husband and music producer, Damon Thomas.
Kim eloped with Damon back in January 2000, much to her parents dismay. Kim was 19 at the time, and Damon was 29. According to Kim’s statements in the divorce papers, the abuse began shortly after the couple got married. “Damon first hit me a few months after we were married,” she says in the statement, before 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,” Kim 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.” Another incident involved Damon learning Kim 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.”
In the documents, Kim also acknowledges never calling the cops. “I thought about calling the police but was afraid and decided not to do so.”
According to Kim, the abuse was not just physical, but also psychological. Kim claims she was forced to quit her job and stay at home because Damon “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. Damon also gave her thousands of dollars and told her to get liposuction.
Damon filed for divorce in 2003 after three years of marriage. The divorce was made official in 2004 and he was ordered to pay Kim $56,000.
Damon has since come out denying the abuse claims.
Well of course he denies it. In spite of the fact that the antics of the Kardashians, the Hiltons and their ilk make me gag. I don’t think that these women or any others deserve beatings.
There was something especially mean, sick and nasty about these beatings because this man (if you could call him that) knew that Kim’s face was her fortune, and he made a point of damaging it. There should be some sort of statute that would retroactively sentence him.
Sorry that this happened to you Kim. Never let it happen again.
uh huh, kimmiecakes, riiight!
He divorced HER 7 years ago and this is just now becoming news? WTF ever. I wonder who leaked the documents, Kim? The same person who leaked your sex tape? When you whore yourself out for fame and fortune, you run the risk of getting something a whole lot different than what you imagined.
I think Kim leaked this shit to diffuse the negative comments about her ever-evolving plastic surgery.
Kim’s a whore; she’s always been a whore; she’ll always be a whore. I wish her and her murderer-supporting family would just fuck off and die.
I agree with Lizzie..Why is this coming out now,after what 7 years?? I’m sorry if this happened to her , it should not happen to anyone under any circumstances. I just do not understand why the public needs to know this now.
IA with everyone else – why now? This happened ages ago. I’m sorry she was abused….but it didn’t seem to have affected her for the last couple of years – until this latest break up.
Why now?
I think Kim deserved the beatings. She thinks it’s ok to pick up a full grown cat by the scruff of it’s neck and suspend it in the air for the sake of a photo op and I’m supposed to feel sorry for her? She should take responsibility for staying in it after the first black eye. She didn’t have kids to worry about. She also should have taken his advice and lipo’ed the junk. I’m sick of seeing Kardashian couch potato ass plastered all over the magazine covers. They’re nothing special. I wouldn’t want to look like any of them.
It is never easy for victims of domestic violence to admit their abuse, they hide it and keep it to themselves because of the shame. There is no way to know whether these allegations are true but if they are I hope she found counseling to keep from falling into the same type of relationship.
What’s up with her lips in this picture? Was she about to blow a kiss to the camera?
I bet there is NOTHING this ridiculous family would not do to stay in the public eye…
Amanda — I’m not sure if Kim was getting ready to blow a kiss, or blow the cameraman. It’s not like she hasn’t put that all on film before …
I am a woman posting………battery, assault, abuse of any kind is wrong from man or woman (because women can strike out too and be abusive especially verbally as well, not all but some). Not all men are guilty of accusations lodged at them; it just seems if a woman cries wolf then oh it must be true.
I know many men do wrong things, and none of it I condone. Let us not be so quick to believe every accusation.
i think your all jelous with your negetive coments. if you dont like them stop watching and following there every move. you dont know them personaly so stop being so bloody minded.
i agree w/ you helen seem like lizzie is very bitter. at less Kim is working for her money unlike paris who love to party. the only thing i don’t like is how they talk to their mother. (even if she is a pain in the ass.
