According to TMZ, Kanye West has assaulted a man for lashing out at Kim Kardashian using profane, disrespectful language. The gossip site reports that an 18-year old man in a Beverly Hills medical office repeatedly used the N-word in Kim’s presence, and while addressing Kim, as he attempted to help her get inside the Beverly Hills medical building. The 18-year-old offended Kim as he referred to the paparazzi as “fa**ot a** n****s” and allegedly continued to badger Kim as she made her way to her indoor destination. The final straw came as Kim got Kanye West on the phone, and the 18-year-old blurted out “f*ck you n****r”, possibly referring to Kanye West, with whom Kim was on the phone at the alleged moment.

Not long after, its alleged that West stormed into a waiting room at the facility and punched the 18-year-old that was badgering Kim in the face, as Kim watched, until a bystanding massage therapist himself had to break up the two men. More details on this story as they become more concrete. Head over to TMZ for the original, full set of allegations.
