It was only one of numerous cases of violence she underwent both at home and outside.
The abuse wasn’t just confined to their home. Kardashian recalled another sickening episode that took place in his mother Kris Jenner’s house. The sight of Kardashian paging somebody several times continuously triggered Thomas’ possessiveness and fury. This made him hit Kardashian on the face which resulted in bruises as well as swelling.

The physical violence continued beyond this point too. Thomas’s control comprised pushing Kardashian downstairs, slamming her up against closet doors and choking he while also pinning her against walls. These scare experiences went on for three years all along which time periods Kardashians experienced tremendous suffering.

Despite her fame for being tough, claims by Kim that she was abused show a woman who has gone through extreme suffering. Her ability to speak out about what happened in her past reveals how strong she is.
