Why So Much Abuse?

I just recently reas about Kim Kardashian who spoke out about the four years of abuse she received from her former husband, Damon Thomas. The two secretly eloped in Las Vegas when Kim was only 19 years old. Kim claims that the abuse started very soon after the wedding, which her family did not approve of. Kim stated that Thomas punched her in the face several times and would choke her. He wouldn't only physically beat her, but he forced her into things, such as, receiving liposuction (so that she would look perfect) and cooking him meals when he would arrive home at 4 in the morning. After reading all of this, I realized how many celebrities have been victims of domestic violence, including the most recent incident between Rihanna and Chris Brown. I was surprised to hear about some others such as, Christina Applegate, Christina Aguilera, Missy Elliot, and Mary J. Blige. It was shocking for me to read about the abuse that these celebrities went through. I cannot believe what some people in this world have to live with. I can only hope that all victims of domestic violence can survive it and one day live happy lives.
