Kim Kardashian alleges domestic violence

London: She maybe one of the most popular reality TV stars now but just some years ago Kim Kardashian was suffering domestic abuse at the hands of her ex-husband Damon Thomas who berated her for her looks.The shocking allegations are detailed in the star`s newly uncovered divorce papers which were filed in 2003, reported Daily Mail online.

The 29-year-old socialite who eloped with music producer Thomas at the age of 19, claimed that she was repeatedly beaten during the course of their 3-year-long marriage. According to the documents, Thomas would punch her in the face, slam her against walls and throw her across the room, leaving her bruised and battered. He also demanded that she go under the knife, because he wanted her to be "perfect" and gave her USD 3,650 to get liposuction. Thomas, who has worked with artists such as Lionel Richie and Pink, even forced Kardashian to quit jobs and college, poisoned her mind against her own family and would not let her see her friends, the court papers claim. At the time of their quickie Las Vegas wedding she was working as a sales girl at a Los Angeles shop called Body, but her new husband soon made her quit the job. She claims he would not let her spend time with her family and friends, start arguments at family gatherings and tried to convince her that her mother and sister were "evil". According to the explosive court papers, Thomas`s abuse did not end there as he started hitting her just a few months after they were married. Thomas, now 39, allegedly hit his wife on several occasions. Kardashian recalls an incident at her mother`s house when Thomas became suspicious about who she was paging. "He became enraged and punched me in the face. My face was bruised and swollen as a result. I thought about calling the police but was afraid and decided not to do so," she alleged in the court papers. It was Thomas, who filed for divorce from Kardashian in 2003. Their marriage was officially dissolved in February 2004 and Thomas was ordered to give Kardashian a one-off payment of USD 56,000. She has since dated R&B star Ray J and American football player Reggie Bush. She has recently been spotted on cosy dates with Real Madrid soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo. PTI
