TV personality Justin Lee Collins has been found guilty of harassing, verbally abusing and physically assaulting his former partner Anna Larke.
The court heard Collins began a "campaign of abuse", keeping a dossier of Ms Larke's past sexual experiences.
The entertainer and presenter had denied the charge, claiming Ms Larke was a compulsive liar.
A jury heard Collins subjected the video games public relations worker to sustained emotional and domestic abuse during their seven-month relationship.
The court was told that Collins made her sleep facing him, throw away DVDs because they featured actors she found attractive and made death threats against her.
The verdict was returned after three days of deliberations.
The couple lived together in Kew, south-west London from January to July last year and had a deeply troubled relationship as Ms Larke tried to overcome alcoholism.
Collins did not show any emotion as the verdict was announced.
