Kanye West Sued By Paparazzi For Alleged Assault As He Snatched & Threw Her Phone Over PH๏τographing Him, Netizens React “What Do They Expect When They Invade Celebs’ Privacy?”

Kanye West, who now goes by the name ‘Ye’ has landed in legal trouble for allegedly ᴀssaulting a pH๏τojournalist named Nichol Lechmanik for recording the musician.

The paparazzi at times go to lengths to capture the celebrities in their mobiles and cameras, which breaches their privacy, and the netizens have pointed it out as always, even though people are not very fond of Kim Kardashian’s ex, they seem to be siding with him on this.

Ye has been known for his eccentric self and outrageous comments, which often make him the centre of discussion on social media; mostly getting him trolled or criticised. The mentioned incident took place earlier this year in January when he was outside one of Ventura County’s sports academies attending his daughter’s basketball game. Reportedly Kim was present at the game, and the pH๏τographer took pH๏τos of her as well. Kanye apparently snatched the phone from her hands and threw it away.

The paparazzo Nichol pressed a lawsuit against Ye, claiming she had ‘great mental and emotional pain’ as per Variety. At a press conference, she said, “He reached into my car as if he were going to hit me; he grabbed my phone out of my hand and then angrily threw it into the street.

He caused so much fear that I have not been the same since.” The paparazzo even called 911 and filed a complaint against him. The lawsuit filed by Nichol against Ye states, “Given Defendant Ye’s reputation for violence against pH๏τographers, his history of physically harming them, and based on his threatening body language, Plaintiff became fearful for the pH๏τographer’s safety. She did not want to get out of her car because she was afraid of Defendant Ye.”
