Kim presented evidence that Thomas repeatedly raised his hand to her, hitting her in the face, slamming her into a wall, and even throwing her across the room. After that, Damon generously allocated a certain amount to his wife to treat sprains and bruises and get stitches.

Ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, who beat Rihanna, is under investigation again
Rihanna's 29-year-old ex-boyfriend Chris Brown is again under investigation: the singer is accused of a brutal rape that happened a year ago.
True, the victim, whose name is not disclosed in the interests of the investigation, does not blame Brown for the rape itself - she was raped by other people, but with the “permission” of the rapper. Here is how it was. In February last year, the woman in question, after a Chris Brown concert, went to an after-party at his studio and then at his home. There, according to her, there was a real bacchanalia going on: alcohol was flowing like a river, the owner of the house was handing out drugs to everyone, there were people with weapons. The victim claims that at some point, Brown lured her into the bedroom where his friends were, and he came out and blocked the door with a sofa.
The musician did not respond to the screams of the trapped woman and requests to let her out, and his friends began to mock her: first, a certain friend of Brown forced the victim to have oral sex with the rapper’s friend, musician and producer Lowell Grissom (he is also listed as a defendant in the lawsuit), a famous also under the pseudonym Young Lo, and then forced him to perform oral sex on her.
When the victim finally managed to escape from the room, she ran to the bathroom to wash the blood from her face, but there she was again overtaken by Grissom, where he raped her twice.
These and other details of the sexual assault are listed in the lawsuit, which was filed in Los Angeles court, and police are now investigating. It is known that that evening the police actually came to Brown's house, but he did not open the door for them.
The victim's mother called the police, tracked her daughter's phone and raised the alarm. It was because of the phone, according to the victim, that she ended up in the ill-fated house: Brown and her friends took the phone from her in the studio, and she went further with them to return it.
The victim’s lawyer considers the case very serious and advises Brown to prepare for a long process: from the musician, with whose connivance the lawlessness was happening in the house, they are demanding compensation for moral damage - 17 million dollars. The victim demanded the same amount from Brown before filing a lawsuit, not wanting to bring the case to court, but he did not respond to her statements. Representatives of the musician deny all accusations against him:
Chris didn't do anything. In other times, this would have been called simply blackmail,
Brown's lawyer said.
However, the rapper has had problems with the law for a long time, and most of them are related to violence: in 2009, he was found guilty of beating his then-girlfriend Rihanna.
Rihanna
In 2009, singer Chris Brown beat up Rihanna, whom he had been dating for two years at the time, before the Grammys. They were driving in the car when another girl wrote to Chris, Rihanna demanded to see the phone, and in response received a blow to the face.

Rihanna responded to the offender with dignity - spitting her own blood in his face. This angered Brown even more: he dragged Rihanna out of the car and began beating her. The police arrived in response to the screams.
By the summer of that year, Chris Brown had turned from America's darling into a pariah and received five years probation.

Personal life
Chris Brown's personal life is as tumultuous as his singing career. In 2005, the musician began a friendship with the popular R&B singer Rihanna. Three years later, the young people officially declared themselves a couple, but the relationship lasted less than a year.

In 2009, Rihanna said that Chris attacked her in a car, beat her, and tried to strangle her. Petite Rihanna was hospitalized with numerous injuries to her face and body. After this, the singer hid from the police for some time, but then voluntarily surrendered. Brown repented, the musician was sentenced to probation and mandatory rehabilitation.
The singer’s aggression is a consequence of a mental disorder that was not diagnosed in a timely manner. Plus, the singer is quite strong - his height is 185 cm and his weight is 81 kg. So, even with a strong desire, it is unlikely that Rihanna would have been able to fight off the man.

As a result of the trial, a number of Brown's advertising campaigns were suspended, radio stations temporarily stopped playing the musician's singles, and Chris himself canceled solo concerts and performances at significant events, such as the Grammy Awards.
In court, Chris spoke about his difficult childhood and regular beatings of his mother by his stepfather. In turn, the singer's mother Joyce Hawkins confirmed under oath that Chris never behaved aggressively.
Chris Brown in court
Chris Brown never completed rehabilitation - the singer was kicked out of the clinic for violating the order. The musician went to prison for several weeks, but was released on parole in June 2014. To show the extent of his own remorse, Chris Brown got a tattoo of a beaten woman on his neck. The singer says that every time he looks at himself in the mirror, he remembers this shameful act.

During periods of separation from Rihanna, Chris started affairs with other women. Brown was seen in the company of model Carucci Tren. Chris and Rihanna made an attempt to restore their relationship; in 2012, they jointly released the hit “Birthday Cake.” But Brown failed to return the girl’s former disposition. Later, he said more than once that he truly loved Rihanna and wanted to marry her. But, as they say, you can mend a broken cup, but you can no longer drink from it.
In the spring of 2020, the star world was blown up by information that Chris Brown had a 9-month-old daughter, Royalty, who was born to model Nia Guzman. Journalists had never noticed Nia and Chris together before. Soon the singer published a photo of his daughter on his Instagram page. Now the musician is trying to spend all his free time with his daughter.

In 2020, he showed his subscribers a new tattoo; now he has his daughter’s face on his back. Around then, the baby’s mother filed a lawsuit against the star father demanding an increase in the amount of alimony. In addition, Nia Guzman reported that Chris allegedly has a negative influence on the child and does not know how to behave with children at all. But the court found that Nia was exaggerating, and in fact, not everything is as critical as she described it. Chris Brown ends up raising Royalty two weeks a month.
In 2020, Chris Brown was again reported to the police by model Bailey Curran. The girl claimed that while in the singer’s house, she was attacked by him. The musician threatened the girl with a firearm. Bailey hurried to leave Brown and went straight to the police station. The patrol that arrived at the scene of the incident could not get into the musician’s house for a long time, since he did not open the door. At this time, Chris recorded a video on camera in which he explained his psychological state.

Chris Brown's arrest did not last long; the musician's lawyer managed to agree on a bail amount of $250 thousand. The lawyer also insisted that the accusation was false.
Madonna
Madonna and her ex-husband Sean Penn are still friends. The singer even calls the actor “the main love of life.” Which is surprising - after all, during their marriage, Penn constantly beat Madonna.
Because of Sean’s beatings, she constantly called the police and an ambulance, and one day she came to the hospital herself and asked for help - that day Sean hit her on the head with a baseball bat.
And December 28, 1989 completely turned into a nightmare. That day, the violent Penn tied Madonna with a wire from a table lamp and practically tortured her for nine hours - he beat her, pulled out her hair, and raped her. The singer was saved only by the fact that at some point Penn himself got tired and fell into a drunken sleep.

Chris Brown beat Rihanna
Beaten Rihanna with a broken face
After Rihanna was beaten by Chris Brown, the compassionate singer said in an interview with Oprah that she still loves her offender, but cannot forgive him for his behavior. Chris was detained by the Los Angeles police and arrested, but he was released on bail of 50 thousand dollars. There was, he paid a large fine, he was given a suspended sentence of 5 years and was banned from approaching Rihanna. Because of this, the fighter’s career began to decline, he was hated by a huge number of Rihanna’s fans and he could not attend many events because she was there. Based on these events, an entire television series was even filmed; in this series, things did not go smoothly for the characters, and the young singer should have drawn conclusions from it.
Amber Heard
Drugs, alcohol, mutual claims, beatings - during the divorce process of Amber Heard and Johnny Depp, it turned out that their love story was more like a thriller. Now Amber calls her ex-husband exclusively a “monster” and accuses him of extreme cruelty. And she has reasons: a photo with bruises on her face, left as a souvenir.

“Once he threw a decanter at me. Then he threw other things around the room, hit the wall with his fists, and then hit me too. He grabbed my hair so hard that he tore out a whole clump. I fought back, but he hit me on the back of the head and again dragged me down the steps by my hair. Every time he knocked me down, I stood up and looked him in the eyes. Then I told him that I could no longer put up with his behavior and was leaving,” the former Mrs. Depp described in detail the final fight with her husband.
Christina Aguilera
Singer Christina Aguilera faced domestic violence twice. As a child, her father beat her (by the way, he also raised his hand against Christina’s mother). And later - husband Jordan Bratman. In 2010, Aguilera was hospitalized with a badly split lip and bleeding from her mouth.
Bratman arrived at the department with the victim and stated that she had fallen. But many bruises and scratches indicated otherwise.
After leaving the hospital, Christina filed for divorce.

Hayden Panettiere
After breaking up with Wladimir Klitschko, Hayden began dating actor Brian Hickerson. He doesn’t have any good roles, but he was always famous for his violent temper: the guy often drank, got into fights, and once attacked his own father.
And in the spring of 2020, Brian swung his fist at Panettiere. The lovers were relaxing in a bar, where they began to quarrel. It was decided to return home - and Brian hit the girl in the face three times already on the threshold. The last blow caused her nose to bleed; neighbors who heard the actress’s screams called the police. But while the officers were on their way to the call, Hickerson managed to give his friend additional bruises.
“She had a bruise under her eye and handprints were visible on her neck: apparently he was strangling her. There were bruises all over my arms,” Officer Amber Findley later testified in court.
