Bikie Troy Mercanti's ex-partner Tammy Kingdon confronted with seedy past Tammy Kingdon, pictured in 2011, is alleging she was assaulted repeatedly during her 15 year relationship with bikie Troy Mercanti. THE ex-partner of a senior Perth bikie, who alleges she was repeatedly beaten during their 15-year relationship, has broken down in court after being confronted with her past life as a stripper. Troy Mercanti, 45, who was a member of the Coffin Cheaters before defecting to the Finks, is on trial with assaulting and causing grievous bodily harm to the mother of his two children, Tammy Kingdon. Mercanti has denied all five assaults, which are alleged to have taken place between 1997 and 2012 and to have inflicted injuries on 36-year-old Ms Kingdon including a fractured eye socket, a missing tooth, two sets of broken ribs and a serious cut to her face. But after telling the jury in Western Australia's District Court how she endured the violence because she wanted to keep her family together, top Victorian lawyer Colin Lovitt QC painted a different picture of an exhibitionist with a drug habit and a fast temper. Under cross examination from Mr Lovitt, Ms Kingdon categorically denied she had often "rained blows" on Mr Mercanti - although she did admit to fighting with other women he was sleeping with. I've never touched Mr Mercanti. I don't know how to punch," Ms Kingdon said. I don't think I am a violent person. After also admitting she had once run naked across the turf at Subiaco Oval during an AFL game between West Coast and Carlton, and working for a stripper group called "Living Dolls," Ms Kingdon was reduced to tears when shown pictures of herself posing provocatively on a motorbike. "You are an exhibitionist, and you like getting your kit off in public," Mr Lovitt said. Mercanti is alleged to have first seriously injured Ms Kingdon in 1997, when he punched her in the face outside a hotel in Bunbury after an argument, leaving her with a fractured eye socket and two black eyes. In 2002, Mercanti is alleged to have punched her again, leaving her with a cut to the face that needed stitches. And on Christmas Day 2006, Mercanti is accused of launching a prolonged assault on Ms Kingdon at his parents' home, which left her missing a tooth. In 2011, he is said to have repeatedly punched and kicked her, before making her stand naked in front of their Duncraig house after an argument erupted following a sex party involving a friend of Mercanti's. Ms Kingdon was left with broken ribs, as she was after another alleged beating in January 2012, when she was left cowering naked outside a neighbour's home. Soon after, Ms Kingdon went to police to make a statement, which stretched to 104 pages. Asked why she had stayed with Mercanti, Ms Kingdon said she was both scared and devoted. I loved Mr Mercanti very much. I could not imagine my life without him," Ms Kingdon said. I really wanted to keep our family together. I wanted that for my children.
