Controlling force: The reality TV star claimed Thomas tried to convince her that sisters Khloe and Kourtney and mother Kris Jenner (right) were 'evil'
Reality TV star Kim Kardashian suffered domestic violence at the hands of her ex-husband Damon Thomas, according to allegations in newly uncovered court papers.
The socialite, who currently is back in the U.S. after a promotional visit to Sydney, Australia, claimed the music producer repeatedly beat her and demanded to know where she was at every minute of the day.
Kim, now 29, eloped to Las Vegas, Nevada, and married Thomas in January 2000 - when she was just 19-years-old. They split three years later.
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.
His alleged bullying was so terrible he gave her $3,650 to get liposuction because he wanted her to be 'perfect' - then gave her an additional $1,000 for further surgery.
Thomas, who has worked with artists such as Lionel Richie and Pink, even forced Kim to quit jobs and college, poisoned her mind against her own family and would not let her see her friends, the court papers claim.
'Damon decided what we would do and when we would do it. He was very much the "King of the castle",' she said.
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.
'He said he did not want me to have contact with my old boyfriends who would be able to reach me at the clothing store,' she said.
'He said he wanted to know where I was at all times.'
Thomas's controlling personality is laid bare by Kim in the couple's divorce papers, which were filed at Los Angeles Superior Court back in 2003.
According to Kim, her music producer husband wanted her at his beck and call - and even demanded that she cook him food when he arrived home at 4.30am.
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'.
He allegedly showed naked pictures of one of Kim's sisters to her father, branding the siblings 'whores', and constantly wanted to know where Kim was.
'Damon told me not to leave the house unless I first told him when and where I was going. Sometimes, Damon would not allow me to leave,' she said in her August 2003 court declaration.
'For example, he would not allow me to go to the mall alone, or with friends. He told me that he did not want men to have an opportunity to "hit" on me.
'He would not allow me to go out to dinner with friends I have known since I was a child. If Damon were not home, I was required to call him and ask permission to leave the house.'
But, according to the explosive court papers, Thomas's abuse did not end there - and he started hitting her just a few months after they were married.
While Kim stood at just 5'3" and weighed 107lbs, her husband towered over her at 5'10" and 175lbs.
One incident of physical abuse that Kim recalled took place when she and Thomas were going skydiving with pop star Justin Timberlake.
Thomas, now 39, apparently hit his wife in the face, cutting her lip open and causing her to fall to the floor.
'I fell into the bed frame and banged my knee hard. I was limping when we went skydiving,' she said.
Another alleged incident took place at Kim's 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,' she said.
'I thought about calling the police but was afraid and decided not to do so.
'On another occasion we were at the marital residence and had an argument. He grabbed my arm and slammed me against the sliding mirror of the closet in our bedroom.'
Kim claims the abuse continued even after they separated in April 2003.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star revealed how her estranged husband flew into a rage while she was retrieving some personal items from the bathroom of the home they once shared.
'He came at me and slammed me against the closet wall,' she said.
'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.
'He then grabbed me by my hair and told me to get out. He put one hand against my back and pushed me up the stairs (the front door is on the ground level and the bedroom is one level below ground).
'At the top of the stairs, he threw me across the room and I hit my head against the front door. I got up and ran out of the house. I was frightened.'
It was Thomas, who went on to produce the Dreamgirls soundtrack in 2006, who filed for divorce from Kim in 2003.
Their marriage was officially dissolved in February 2004 and Thomas was ordered to give Kim a one-off payment of $56,000.
Kim 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.
