THIS MONTH IN LIL’ KIM HISTORY (MAY 5th, 2009)

Lil’ Kim Speaks on Her Previous Abusive Relationships, 2009.

Source Magazine, 2005. Lil’ Kim opens up about her abusive relationship with now convicted murderer Damion ‘world hardy’

I;Tell us about the Lil Kim Cares foundation. LK;In reference to battered women, just recently, and I’m talking about a year ago. I got out of a relationship with a very abusive man. I have had a black eye, busted bloody lips, bruised face. I came out of the hospital from getting my nose done and he broke my shit again. I have had to have MRI’s because he beat me up so bad I couldn’t even move, I had blood clots in my back. One day a voice told me you better leave right now. I had to leave from my own damn house.If I had something like my foundation where I could get help then I wouldn’t have gone through it for so long

I; You wouldn’t think that Lil’ Kim in all her glamor and glory was at home dealing with that. I’m sharing this story because a lot of women don’t think women in the industry go through it. They probably thinking we got it good but oh yeah, we go through it. 

I; How did you recover from it? LK;I kinda prayed the whole time … I didn’t know what to do. And it has a lot to do with my maturity too. Its been times I was in the car with my ex boyfriend and he punched me in my face and [I was] bleeding all over the car, and we were on our way to pick up his mom, and I was trying to conceal it, she was staring like, ‘I don’t believe it’ … It could’ve been right before I had to be in the studio or on stage and I have to pack on piles on piles of make-up and go and smile. I remember people asked, “what’s wrong with you” and I would say I had a allergic reaction.

I; You metioned he broke your nose..? LK; Yeah twice, I just came from getting it broke . He punctured it again. True story. Big cast on my face. 

I; Did you get it done again after that? LK;… The doctor had to fix nose [because] it was almost shattered. You really can’t tell but if you look close it goes to the left.

I; Does it bother you that people talk of the work you have done?

The thing that messes me up is that a lot of women in the videos get it done themselves…And I hate that it’s like ’ damn why y'all all on me?’ I’m standing here right next to somebody that had more than me done, and you don’t even know it. But like I said I’m the realest with it, so everybody wants to be all on me. Whatever.
