Kim Kardashian's first serious public relationship was with music producer Damon Thomas. The two eloped in 2000 when Kardashian was 19 years old and Thomas was 29 years old. Years later, in a 2018 episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," the reality TV star revealed that she was on drugs when she got married to Thomas. "I was high on ecstasy when I got married the first time," she said on the show. From the start, their marriage was rocky, with Kardashian later claiming on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" that Thomas was controlling and verbally abusive.
According to court documents obtained by the Daily Mail, Kardashian referred to her ex-husband as "the king of the castle" and claimed "Damon told me not to leave the house unless I first told him when and where I was going." Kardashian also claimed, "If Damon were not home, I was required to call him and ask permission to leave the house."
The couple's marriage lasted for three years, with the two separating in April 2003. According to court papers obtained by The Los Angeles Daily News, Kardashian claimed Thomas was also physically violent toward her, alleging he punched her and threw her against the wall while they were together. Thomas denied Kardashian's claims of abuse, calling them "absolutely not true," per New York Daily News. In their divorce settlement, Kardashian received $56,000 from Thomas. Their divorce was finalised in February 2004.
