, who is currently the CEO of Thomas Krown Records. According to various sources, he has worked with various artists, such as Lionel Richie and Pink.
They were married in 2000, when Kardashian was only 19 and Thomas was 29, eloping in Las Vegas less than a year after meeting each other. They split about three years later.
Those three years, however, reveal a very dark period of Kardashian’s life, much of which came from their relationship.
Kardashian admitted, “I used to be so dependent on the guys I was in a relationship with. I don't know why, because I wasn't raised that way. If I looked at myself at 19, I would shake myself and be like, Wake up; you are way too smart for this.”
She goes onto explain how her first marriage came about. The pair went to Vegas, he said they should get married, and Kardashian — still in this young stage of her life where she felt dependent on her relationships — found herself agreeing in order to please him.
According to a clip from “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” Kim also revealed that she had been high on ecstasy when she had married Thomas.
In the clip, Kardashian says, "I did ecstasy once: I got married. I did it again: I made a sex tape — like, everything bad would happen."
who was able to recover the court documents filed at Los Angeles Superior Court in 2003, we see Kim Kardashian’s own statements, filed under her then-married name.
Kardashian claimed that Damon did not like her to leave the house and disallowed her from doing so on many occasions.
He wanted to know where she was at all times, so if she did want to leave, she was expected to ask him for permission.
According to Kardashian, Thomas did not want any men to have opportunities to hit on her.
According to the documents, he even made her quit her job she’d held for years as a salesgirl because he did not want any previous boyfriends to have a way to find her or contact her.
Thomas reportedly even gave her $3,650 for liposuction to look more "perfect."
Later, he gave her an additional $1,000 for even more plastic surgery.
Kardashian claims that Thomas began to hit her only a few months after they were married.
On one occasion that is described as an example, Kardashian says, “Damon learned that I had paged someone and demanded to know whom it was that I had called.
Kardashian elaborates that in this moment she considered calling the police, but she was too afraid of Thomas, and so she did not.
Another altercation that is described in detail in the court documents was when she went to pick up some things from his house after they had separated.
Over the phone, he said that she could come pick up a few personal items, but she could not be there the next day while the movers picked up the bulk of her belongings.
However, when she arrived the night before and went to get some toiletries from his bathroom, he reportedly became furious, and screamed at her to get out of his bathroom.
He then attacked her physically, slamming her into the wall and threatening to choke her with his hands around her neck. Then, according the documents, he punched the wall right next to her head.
