Following her split from Reggie Bush, Kim Kardashian is rebounding quite nicely with Portugese soccer stud Cristiano Ronaldo, but her million dollar smile is masking dark secrets. 

In the May 3 issue of Star, on sale today, we have the shocking details about Kim’s hush-hush marriage to Damon Thomas as well as their divorce nightmare. In newly uncovered court documents obtained by Star, Kim claims her husband of four years — a partner at Underdog Entertainment, who has worked singers including Pink and Katharine McPhee — flew into jealous rages, punched her, threatened her life and instructed her to get plastic surgery to improve her body. 

One terrible incident Kim recalls occurred the day they were supposed to be taking a fun trip skydiving with Justin Timberlake. 

“Before we left our home, Damon hit me in the face and cut my lip open,” Kim claims. “I fell into the bed frame and banged my knee hard. I was limping when we went skydiving.” 

Get the full story – including the legal papers and how she’s still struggling to move on — in the new issue of Star today!
