Kanye West Sued for Assault at Chateau Marmont

Court documents obtained by the Daily Mail on Tuesday outline allegations brought by an unidentified plaintiff - known as John Doe - who is suing for battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress stemming from an April 16, 2024 incident at the. 

The filing claims West approached the plaintiff in the garden dining area shortly before 11 p.m. and suddenly struck him in the face, leaving him unconscious after he fell and hit his head. 

It is further alleged that West then continued the assault while the man was on the ground, repeatedly punching him as he lay unconscious and sustaining serious injuries. 

The plaintiff says in the complaint that he did not provoke the incident in any way and did not consent to any physical contact during the encounter.

The Daily Mail has reached out to West’s representatives and the plaintiff’s attorney for comment. 

In the complaint, the plaintiff claims West later alleged that the plaintiff had acted inappropriately toward a woman attending his party, and he went on to reiterate those accusations during a public podcast appearance.

'Defendant repeated and embellished these lies during a widely viewed podcast appearance, again falsely alleging that Plaintiff had engaged in inappropriate physical conduct toward a woman in Defendant’s party,' the document read.
