- Kanye West in accused of battery
- The incident comes after he was defending his wife
- HERE is the new scoop
Late Tuesday night, an incident that escalated to physical violence has put Kanye under the police radar. With accusations of battery swirling and a detailed account of an alleged assault on his wife, Bianca Censori, the celebrity world is abuzz. Here's what you need to know about Kanye's latest legal woes.
The Incident Unfolds
The alleged incident happened at the iconic Chateau Marmont Hotel on Sunset Boulevard, according to sources.
This isn’t the first time “The Life of Pablo” artist has found himself facing battery charges. In January 2022, "The Life of Pablo" artist was sued for assault, battery, and negligence after he allegedly punched autograph seeker Justin Poplawski.
Poplawski claimed he was waiting outside a hotel to get West’s signature when the rapper told him to "Go the f—k [out of] here before I beat you the f—k up," according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
According to them, a representative for Kanye West vehemently denies the use of the term "grabbed" to describe the altercation involving Bianca Censori, stating, "Bianca was physically assaulted." The assailant's actions went beyond a mere collision, involving inappropriate physical contact and unsolicited advances, leading to claims of battery and sexual assault against Bianca.
In the aftermath, Kanye West is named in a battery report, with law enforcement sources revealing that the police are actively investigating claims that Kanye punched a man who allegedly had a physical altercation with his wife, Bianca. The details are murky, but the incident reportedly did not leave the alleged victim in need of medical treatment.
This isn't Kanye's first rodeo with legal troubles related to physical altercations. From previous incidents involving aggressive encounters with paparazzi to lawsuits claiming assault and battery, Kanye's history with the law adds a complex layer to the current investigation.
Poplawski, who said he had previously gotten West’s signature without issues, alleged that the fashion designer then struck him and asked, "So do you want to get attacked for real?"
The rapper then allegedly struck him several times more, severely injuring him, after the autograph dealer requested an apology for the first blow. The 2022 incident was initially investigated, but the rapper was not charged after the LA City Attorney’s Office decided there was "no reasonable likelihood of conviction."
As the police seek to piece together the events of that fateful night, the world watches closely. Will Kanye West face charges, or will this be another headline in the saga of his controversial encounters? Only time will tell.
