Ye Sued for Alleged Sucker-Punch at LA Restaurant

A lawsuit alleges that Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, attacked a man in the outdoor garden of a Los Angeles restaurant on April 16, 2024. The complaint, obtained by Rolling Stone, says the plaintiff was sitting with his brother when Ye allegedly delivered an unprovoked punch to his face. He fell, hit his head, and lost consciousness as Ye fled. According to court papers, Ye then struck the man again while he lay unconscious. The suit also claims Ye later spread false accusations on a widely viewed podcast, causing reputational and emotional harm. The plaintiff sued under a John Doe filing to protect his identity and hopes to resolve the matter confidentially through mediation.
