The records were unsealed Wednesday despite efforts by Ellison’s ex-wife, Kim Ellison, to block their release.
“It was very humiliating to admit that I was a domestic abuse victim,” he wrote.
“I need to talk about the Respondent’s credibility,” Ellison, a U.S. congressman for Minnesota, wrote. “The Respondent is not credible. She does not tell the truth. Throughout our marriage, she was physically abusive to me.”
“The Respondent harassed female friends and colleagues on the phone and through texts — specifically, Batala McFarlane, Hiam Nawas, Karen Monahan,” he continued.
Ellison later engaged in a romantic relationship with Monahan – who also accused him of physically abusing her. She alleges there is a video of the congressman dragging her across a bedroom by her hair but has declined to produce it, implying she is naked.
Monahan did produce a therapist’s notes from the time where she confided that she faced abuse at Ellison’s hands.
Another former girlfriend has also accused Ellison of abuse.
