A few weeks ago, Star Magazine did a cover story about Kim Kardashian’s first marriage, to music producer Damon Thomas. Star had gotten their hands on the court papers, and had basically claimed, through extensive unnamed sourcing, that Damon was physically and emotionally abusive towards Kim. Shortly after that cover story, Damon made a few public statements basically calling Kim a liar, and defending himself against the abuse allegations. Now, in this week’s In Touch Weekly, Damon tells his “side” of the story, and it’s not pretty. It is a tale of famehwhoring, jealousy, lies, infidelity, money, greed and grossness. And that’s just on Kim’s side. Here’s more from the cover story:
“She can’t write or sing or dance, so she does harmful things in order to validate herself in the media,” Kim’s ex-husband, Damon Thomas tells In Touch exclusively. “That’s a fame-whore to me. It’s just not cool at all.”
Kim Kardashian wants the world to think that she’s the perfect, supportive sister who would do anything for her family. But in an exclusive interview with In Touch, Kim’s ex-husband says that behind closed doors, Kim has a very different — and troubling — set of priorities.
“Kim is obsessed with fame,” Kim’s ex, music producer Damon Thomas, reveals, adding that even when he was in love with her, Kim struck him as the type of person who would step on anyone in order to get where she wanted — including her sisters, Khloé and Kourtney.
“She’s jealous and competitive with her sisters,” he shares. Desperate to be famous, Damon says, Kim doesn’t seem to care whom she hurts — whether it’s friends, lovers or even her own family.
“She can’t write or sing or dance, so she does harmful things in order to validate herself in the media,” he says. “That’s a fame-whore to me. It’s just not cool at all.” And while a rep for the Kardashian sisters says they’re “best friends and very supportive of one another,” Damon disagrees.
“Jealousy is a big thing” with Kim, he says, revealing that when he knew her, Kim would “do whatever it takes” in order to get ahead.
If Kim’s sisters feel wronged by her, Damon says, they aren’t the only ones. In fact, he believes Kim was behind the recent release of court papers, filed during their 2003 divorce, in which she claimed he beat her — a claim he emphatically denies.
“It’s just absolutely not true,” he says, adding that Kim never filed for a restraining order or a protective order throughout their marriage, and simply accused him of abuse in order to get “a lot of money” out of him. Damon says, he was the one who filed for divorce first. And he did it because Kim was cheating on him with “multiple guys.” Kim has denied this claim. Still, Kim managed to lure Damon back into the relationship for a brief time, during which, he says, she convinced him to finance extravagant shopping sprees and extensive plastic surgery — including a boob job and liposuction.
“She wanted to have that lifestyle,” he explains. “She wanted to be what she ultimately became.” And Damon was willing to finance it — until he saw her on the cover of a magazine on a date with Jennifer Lopez’s ex, Cris Judd.
“I saw my wife with another man, wearing the clothes that we had just bought after her lipo,” he says. “It was not something as a husband you ever wanted to see.”
[From In Touch Weekly]
Eh. I mean, sure, I kind of believe some of Damon’s story. I think Kim probably used him for his money and connections, and I also think he probably paid for Kim’s earliest plastic surgery. I also believe that Kim is living her particular dream – to be famous. Since she didn’t have talent, she just willed herself into fame through her ass and a sex tape. However… I do tend to think the marriage was abusive. I mean, he was so much older, and the way Kim and her family have spoken about the marriage… it just seems like there’s something there. I understand that Damon is trying to pass off the abuse claims as Kim just wanting money, but why would Kim go into such specifics about “he beat me just before we hung out with Justin Timberlake” stuff? I don’t know, Damon’s story doesn’t make any sense there.

Because he’s “older,” you tend to believe she was abused? My dad is 14 years older than my mom, is he abusive?
Unless she can back it up, it’s her word against his and let’s face it, nothing about her screams honesty. If she was abused and had evidence to prove it, she would’ve leaked it long ago, especially during the Rhianna/Chris Brown incident. She has no shame and nothing seems to embarrass her.

This chick is a fame-whore. She has no talent what so ever! And she is a freaking liar. She always says that she is all natural which I knew was BS. So all you ladies that talk about how beautiful her body is and la la la… yeah, you can purchase it to.

She is an obvious famewhore, but that is her profession, and it provides her with a great income. Of course she is using her family to advance her celebrity, but at the same time they are benefiting. As far as his being abusive, I don’t know, though I always question it when it suddenly appears as a reason for divorce and money is involved.

Damon is trying to clear his name because of the Star Magazine article. The divorce papers from Star Magazine had his signature on them. Did Damon not read what Kim had said?

Do i smell jealousy here? I don’t even know Damon but at least 99% of people in the whole wide world knows Kim Kardashian. Whether she is jealous of her sisters or not, it doesn’t matter. Siblings compete amongst themselves [yes i still do that with mine]. Competition makes you work harder and leads you to success. Kim as i always say, inspires so many women including myself.
Hardworking doesn’t only come from writing, singing and dancing, it can also come in various ways. She is doing what she does best and she is succeeding. I love her for that.
Even if she undergone all the exaggerated plastic surgeries, it makes no sense because she is still a beauty.

I do agree with her ex husband that Kim is most certainly a famewhore. Her big old butt is everwhere, and I knew without a doubt that she had some work done. As for everything else he is claiming, who knows. That is between the two of them.

Now boarding the Plane of Doom:
-Miley Cyrus
-The Entire Kardashian Clan
-The Pratts (could a name fit any better?)
-The Gosselins, but not the children — yet. They do carry the genes of those two. Some may be booked on a future flight.
-The Lohans
-Justin Bieber (sorry, but fans will feel stupid about liking him later. He’s a sweetie, but still a major dork)
-Renee Zellwegger
-Madonna (since she starting dating The Jesus — gross!)
-Charlie Sheen
-Tom Cruise and his spawn (yes, I’m evil. That has been established before. I just fear what we’re in store for when the Most Spoiled Child in the Universe grows up. So maybe I’m not evil and I’m protecting humanity.)
-John Mayer
-Perez Hilton
-Sarah Palin (For the record, I tend to be more conservative so my motives are not political, but she’s beyond repugnant.)
***I’m not boarding Tiger or Jesse. We need some around to abuse. Their actions have volunteered them for that duty.
The other annoying celebs we’ll keep around for amusement, but the fifteen minutes are up for those on board.
Did I miss anyone?

All of the Kardashian’s are fame hungry: Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and Mama Kris. Being in the spotlight keeps them relevant. However, I don’t believe half of what Kim’s ex-husband Damon has said. That Star Magazine cover about him abusing Kim made him look really bad and he knows it.

I am continually amazed by these men who marry young model/debutante style women, and then act all surprised that they were only into it for the money and the fame, or won’t change the cat litter or something. Dude, you knew what she was when you married her. Don’t act like

Let me get this straight. She got peed on in a sex tape; accused of spending thousands of $$$ on Brandy & RJ’s mom credit card for her personal spending when working as their “stylist;” and now this. I believe this speaks about her moral compass. She has no talent whatsoever and we reward her for this behavior and make her rich & famous! Gosh I wasted alot of time in college getting 3 degrees. I guess I should have taken the sex tape shortcut. LOL. Our culture is pathetic!

Damon Thomas is a jealous little man who definately abused Kim in their marriage. And further more he was not cool with the family at the time because he tried to keep Kim away from them and her friends. So why would he know anything about the relationship with her sisters. He is just trying to cover up the court papers that told about his physical abuse to Kim,and yes he signed them so he must have read them. He’s an ABUSER so just go away you has been, you are not relevant!

I watch the show but I mostly watch it because of everyone else in it because they crack me up….Kim on the other hand I can belive his side of she’s a famewhore and would do anything to get ahead and that she will say and do anything even if it is about her family and will hurt them. How many times did she repeat something her sisters told her and was told not to tell ANYONE and what did she do???? She blabbed to anyone and everyone. I also believe she lies a lot considering they had a full episode based on her lies to everyone and much worse her little sisters who she hurt very deeply….all because she wanted to go shopping instead of going to the beach with them which she had been promising them. She IS a famewhore and a brat in top of that with her blabber mouth…and her poor mom is her manager and gets yelled at everytime she screws up something for kim!!!!

Kim is the one who brought him into the spotlight…she tried to gain sympathy and attention by releasing a story 7 years old…claiming she was abused. All he’s doing is defending himself and every single thing he said about her is true. She even admitted on her show that she is a compulsive liar so how the media beleives anything she says is beyond me.

People are entitled to their opinions and nobody has a right to judge anybody. I can not be stereotyped or forced to hate or like anybody because you don’t like the person. KIM INSPIRE ME. And whatever inspires me, is nobody’s business! Hating or liking any celebrity because of minority opinion is not my thing. I choose whom to like, and I love Kim so much that I have already bought her Perfume. Nobody forced me to be a celebitchy fan, I was not forced to join. Therefore, my opinion should be respected without being insulted.
I have never insulted anybody here. Even when i told somebody to get a life sometime ago, my post was deleted. It also shows a lot of bias! Am not sure any of u has the right to tell me what is right and what is not. Before you judge people, take a closer look at yourself! Thanx.

@Ogechi, fine you are entitled to your opinion, and yes just because you bought her perfume and worship her doesn’t mean she is better than most of us. How? Why? Because your sex tape won’t sell as hers did? Maybe you need to find a better way to send your point across. Kim inspires you? Seriously?

@Slymm27:
Yes Kim inspires me- seriously! Are u satisfied now? Besides, I do not worship her but I love her, including her sisters! Same way I love Jlo, Aniston, Bullock etc. I worship My Lord Jesus Christ ONLY.
I mentioned the sex tape because it became a parameter to judge her all the time. So many people might have done worst things, yet they are quick to judge others. I learned not judge anybody, I also learned to give people another chance, I finally learned to always look at people’s positive sides than the negative all the time. I love smart, successful and hardworking women. Kim is one of them. There are people with bad past, that does not mean that they will end bad. That is why as a Christain, I always believe that God’s grace is always sufficient in our lives, to forgive and accept His children even when the worldly people sees them differently.
