Mobile, Alabama – Kanye West is facing a lawsuit for alleged assault and battery. The incident in question dates back to 2022, and in a recent interview, TMZ’s Branson Quirke discussed the details with WKRG News 5’s Cherish Lombard.
Quirke described a video where a man is seen on the ground after claiming that Kanye had hit him and acted aggressively. While there is no footage of the actual hitting, the man is suing for emotional distress and assault, seeking damages for battery. Quirke mentioned Kanye’s history of confrontations, stating that it’s not surprising to see another incident like this.
Lombard brought up another aspect of the case, mentioning that the alleged victim’s wife is also suing. Quirke explained that she is suing for “loss of contortion,” claiming that the incident caused her to lose her companion, her husband.
Regarding the amount of compensation they are seeking, Quirke stated that it is currently unclear. However, he speculated that considering Kanye’s wealth, the settlement could potentially be substantial.
