Kim Kardashian wanted attention this weekend. I guess she was mad because no one invited her to the Golden Globes or to any of the Globes after-parties. So sad. So Kim made Kanye West take her out several times over the weekend. These photos are from their trip to Mr. Chow’s on Sunday, the same time as the Globes. PAY ATTENTION TO KIMYE. They will die if you don’t pay attention to them. The day before, Kim went to The Ivy for a birthday party, and then Kim and Yeezington went to some kind of fancy event on Saturday night and Kim Instagram’d a photo. Blah. You can read every obsessive detail here at E! News.
But here’s something interesting – according to TMZ, Kanye West “attacked” a teenager who dropped an “n-word” while in a chiropractor’s office:
Kanye West just attacked an 18-year-old guy inside the waiting room of a chiropractor’s office … after the guy allegedly called Kanye the N-word … TMZ has learned.
Kim was at a Beverly Hills medical building when she was swarmed by photogs. We’re told the guy allegedly tried to help Kim get in the building, as he started screaming, “F**k these fa**ot-ass n****rs”” — referring to the paparazzi. Kim then told him it was not appropriate to use the N-word. We’re told he then screamed at her, “F**k you bitch. Just trying to help you. Shut up n****r lover, stupid slut.”
Apparently that got Kim hot as fish grease … she watched the guy walk into an office. As they were walking we’re told the guy continued berating Kim. She dialed Kanye on his cell, and when the guy realized Kanye was on the phone he allegedly said, “F**k you N****r.” Kanye — who had just arrived at the building — then met up with Kim.
Sources say Kanye and Kim rushed into the waiting room of chiropractor Richard Hill and found the 18-year-old sitting there. Witnesses say Kanye punched the guy and Kim screamed, “We have it all on tape.”
Sources say the massage therapist in the office separated the 2 men. Beverly Hills cops were called and the 18-year-old said he wanted to press charges.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … Kanye is now officially a suspect in a battery investigation and they want to interview him. We’re also told the matter will be referred to the L.A. County D.A. for possible prosecution.
Remember — Kanye is currently facing assault charges involving a photog attack at LAX.
Yeah, I know violence is never the answer, but if an 18-year-old kid started screaming that crap at you, wouldn’t you want to smack him? The desire would be there. But would you actually do it? Would your boyfriend or husband? Hm. I guess I’ll decide on the seriousness of this situation when we find out how badly Yeezington hurt the kid and whether or not the kid has a history of being a racist douchebag.

I am no fan by any stretch, but if the kid actually did say those things then I can’t fault Kanye for getting upset. Do I think that he should have hit the guy? Nope, but knowing how Kanye can get mad at a strong breeze, I’m not surprised.
I agree that those are offensive words, but Kanya uses the N words in his songs? Am I mistaken?
Exactly he uses it in his songs even though am not supporting the kid.
He is an idiot, they probably staged the whole thing to get some publicity since they were not invited to the golden globes.
He complains about racism but it’s perfectly fine for him to call woman bitches.
Idiotic low life with trashy PR girlfriend, UGH!
Yes, it’s problematic for Kanye to use that term but he is black so he has a different relationship to that word than someone who isn’t black and is using it as an insult. Furthermore, not all black people use or are comfortable with that word, many find it offensive. Its use is intended to degrade black people, so its offensive to wield it as an insult because it’s not as though Kanye is the only person that would be insulted by this, it is demeaning to every single black person. And let’s not overlook ass-hats’ use of homophobic slurs!!! He is a piece of garbage all around, please don’t attempt to excuse or diminish this jerk’s sh*tty behavior.
I am sorry but as a black person I have to roll my eyes whenever someone brings up black peoples use of the word. Lets not even pretend that the black people that choose to use it with each other (because unlike it is commonly said not all of us do choose to walk about with it in our vocab) are even coming from the same place as the person who says such things as ‘nigger lover’ etc. The intent with such a phrase is obviously coming from a place of hatred/ with the meaning to hurt. Now my mother raised me to never say the word and she laid out all her reasons for not using it clearly. I don’t particularly like how the word is thrown around in rap music but it is not the same. Not all black people agree with the use of the word and those who choose to use it as a term of endearment can. For many blacks it is about reclaiming a word once meant to degrade us and making it our own. No one else outside the community can decide/ dictate/ and cast judgement on those that choose to use the word with one another in a positive way. It isn’t for anyone else to understand either and shouldn’t have to always be explained/ justified in my honest opinion.
I say good on Kanye for standing up for himself. When my older brother was 5 years old this one kid kept on taunting him with the word and had a hatred in his heart for my brothers race. My brother was good and well behaved child and didn’t deserve those words being used to hurt him. My other brother also used to get mean and hateful taunts with the intent to hurt and where he used to cry about it, my other brother did give the racist brat the push he deserved. It had finally gotten to the point where this kid was just truly enjoying racially taunting my brother and thinking that his silence was a clear sign that it was okay to behave in this manner. Once he got that push, that kid never opened his mouth trying to degrade my brother or use his race against him again.
I don’t believe a word that comes out of her lying mouth! What adult woman calls her boyfriend to fight her battles? She’s not in Junior High School, I doubt she finished School. She will do anything for attention! He should have been arrested, we would have! I can’t stand either one of these self-indulged liars! She records it? Grow up you cow!
@Lauren:
You make a really good point. It’s not unlike the term “Bitch” which some women have attempted to “reclaim” in an effort to feel more powerful. It’s just a derogatory name.
Anyhoodle, Kanye really should have handled the situation with more grace than he did, but as he’s got a very short fuse, it’s not surprising that he reacted to the kid in the way he did. I do hope that the world gets to see this big mouth kid’s face sooner or later so that he can be humiliated for his hateful disgusting speech.
I agree with Lauren – the meaning of words can be relative. I remember hearing and reading opinion posts regarding the use of the word in rap songs, in which they said that it was being used to destroy the meaning of it, to rebrand it and to show that it “no longer bothers them,” in a manner of speaking. I’m sure that isn’t the same opinion for everyone, but that is the consensus in the opinion articles.
Now, just because Kanye uses the word in an endearing way to refer to his fellows, that doesn’t mean some asshole kid can come in and throw it out there as an insult. Also, just because the kid is young doesn’t give him any break. I liken it to calling your female friends “bitch” – sure, you can call your friends “bitches” or “sluts” and it isn’t a big deal because it isn’t delivered, or received, maliciously. However, once a male starts calling you bitch in a malicious way, would you not be offended?
I don’t blame both Kim and Kanye for being angry, I would be absolutely livid and I would feel violated. However, the way he went about it (following the kid into the office after the verbal attack, and then beating him up) is not right. He is an adult, and an adult with a young child to think of to boot.
What makes the biggest difference to me, with situation, is that Kanye has beaten what, 3 people? 4 people by now? How do we know that this guy said the N word at all? Kanye has a tendency to beat people with little to no provication, so this just seems like yet another example of Kanye beating someone.
If this was his first offense, I would have been sympathetic. However, it has become his MO.
I agree the use of the word is subjective, just like the “b”-word and the “f”-word and a few others. But it still stands that because these are such incendiary words, they just really shouldn’t be used in any context at all. This “I can say this terrible offensive word as much as I want but if YOU do it, it’s the worst thing you can do”, is BS. But of course people do whatever they want regardless.
Flame on.
@Lauren: I really enjoyed your post, and it gives a great perspective on the subject.
You should write a book honestly. I’m so ADD that I pass over many posts, simply because I cannot focus long enough; however, I wish yours would have kept going. True story.
But enough to hunt the kid down and follow him into a doctor’s office? That’s the bizarre part to me. Then again, I’m inclined to think this was all orchestrated for the new season of her show. The kid was probably paid, and the crews were probably filming. There will be an episode where these horrid people play the victims and talk about all the bad things that have happened to them.
Ah crap, I forgot who we were talking about for a minute there. You’re probably right and it’s just more staged drama.
Glad to see that I’m not the only one thinking that.
Bingo. Keep in mind they were not part of The Golden Globes, though it would have been so appropriate for Ms. Golden Showers to be there. That said, I believe they will do anything to get attention.
I don’t care what anyone says. If a man (he is 18!) started racially harrassing me, I’d call the cops and my family and my man, very upset. I’m not black but I’m mexican and the few times I have encountered racism was so devestating and upsetting so until that has happened to you, dont judge kim or kanye. It is a helpless feeling when someone throws racial slurs at you for no reason. And Kim could take it offensively on a whole other level now, her daughter is half black. She needed some back up and that idiot that goes around attacking women with racial slurs needed his ass kicked. Those were fighting words and he got what he asked for. Period.
Things are already getting shady. I read last night that Kim was walking into a furniture store for a meeting with her interior designer, where the kid was holding the door open for her. He called one of the paparazzi the N word, Kim chastised him and that’s when he insulted her. She got upset and told Kanye who had been on the phone with her and had overheard the insulting language and thereafter is when Kanye showed up and assaulted the kid.
I honestly don’t believe this happened. TMZ is reporting the guy didn’t make racial slurs but called her a slut and he would kill her. I call BS on this, another sympathy ploy like that stupid flour bomb incident.
Personally, I don’t think calling her a slut is any better. Now I don’t think that Kanye should have gotten violent – I don’t condone violence – but if someone called me a slut or a racist slur you can bet that I’d get angry too.
That said, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if it was staged for their show. Nothing that KK does is “just because.”
If someone would call me a slut, I certainly would not call my husband to help me. I am able to speak for myself.
Besides, it totally feels orchestrated.
I dont know why some women think misogynistic language isnt as nasty, offensive and dangerous as racist and homophobic language. Catch up, you guys are holding us back.
I have to say, if someone was racially insulting my husband, I probably would hit him. I can’t really blame him. Still, wish Kanye had just stepped away from the situation and got that guy in trouble all on this own. I don’t know about in the US, but in the UK using that language is a hate crime punishable by law.
I don’t believe in violence but i understand the desire to slap someone who racially abuses you or your loved ones. However Kanye wasn’t even there. Kim called him and he came down there and followed the teenager in to a medical office and attacked him. Kanye is 36 years old. Imo he should have found a different way to deal with. A more mature person would, why stoop to this guys level? If you want to fight against racism then I think Kanye should find better targets, there is a lot he can do and there are people who really are affected by racism on a much bigger level then what Kim Kardashian is. That said the the teenager should face some consequences for his actions too. Also think Kim never should have called Kanye considering how volatile he is. Kanye has had a few assault incidents so this might come back and bite him in the ass.
A man got shot in a movie theater and killed for arguing with the man who complained about his texting. A friend of mine got out of his car and walked up to the next car at a light after that car cut him off several times. The guy pulled out a gun and said one more step and I’m blowing you away. You really are going to go hit a stranger over that? You have no clue how violent that person is or if they are carrying a knife or gun.
This. Why escalate a situation? Why use violence? Incredibly stupid and immature.
Which is why I’ll never live in your fascist country where there is no freedom of speech.
The UK thanks you.
Another idiot con who doesn’t understand what free speech is.
Yes, there is free speech in this country- as in the government can’t arrest people for the things they say. But there’s nothing in the constitution about others’ reactions to what you say. And considering your attitude towards black people- as well as a woman who enters a relationship with one, I would think that you’d be a fan of fascism.
Thank you for not being a part of this country. The last thing this world needs is more people like you.
I can blame him.
You don’t hit people. period.
The desire might be there, but impulse control is one of hallmarks of an adult.
Two wrongs to do not make it right, and there is a lot of history here with his temper.
eta: this is how I read it: the verbal assault was finished. they sought the guy out AFTER and then Kayne punched him.
If somebody is in your face screaming I can understand lashing out, it’s very scary. But it sounds like they followed him in to the office.
What would I do? Well, I don’t think I would punch someone when I’m already facing battery charges for a previous assault. It could hurt the outcome of the prior case. But I’m not a celebrity, so I have to worry about things like that – Kanye doesn’t. He’ll skate on all of it and punch someone else who makes him angry. 🙁
Kanye is already on the D.A’s radar for hitting people this was a stupid thing to do. If the kid has mental issues and let’s face it the average person doesn’t stand around yelling at perfect strangers it won’t help things. Kanye had options walk away, call security he didn’t have to hit him. Was the kid trying to hit him? It isn’t a good situation but we do need to know more about the kid and his condition. I won’t be surprised if the D.A jumps on this.
The kid sounds like a sh-thead that was in need of a smack BUT it might bite Kanye in the butt. Hopefully the kid doesn’t have a leg to stand on but you know a lawsuit is coming.
Totally off the point, but goddamn, Kim looks amaaaaaazing.
WORD.
That wedding looking pic is happening!!!!!!!
Look at her face! She looks like a puffier version of the cat woman. I guess that’s an attractive look if you’re a cat lover. …An attractive look for a cat, not a person.
I’m still strolling to find the pic where she looks good. She does look like she’s about to morph into the cat woman. You know the one I mean. That lady that had all those surgeries to look like a cat.
emmie_a, you are so wrong.
I am a cat lover. Cats have round heads, big eyes and small mouth, cats NEVER ever have camelshaped heads covered by an out of proportion fake mane of hair. Believe me.
oh COME ON. How can you deny that Kim looks good? You might not like her, but she IS a beautiful woman. Attractive people get held to such different standards than everyone else. PEOPLE OF WALMART – THAT is what ugly looks like. Kim is doing just fine.
I know everybody will jump on this and hate me (guess what I dont care) but I really think that people ARE jealous. You think KK doesn’t deserve the fame, money, admiration etc so you try to belittle her to make yourself feel better. But does it? Maybe momentarily.
I disagree. Her face is very swollen looking. Her chin, cheeks, and jaw seem to be twice the size they used to be. Is it fillers or implants? Very sad that she has done that to herself.
I hate to know what your idea of beauty is.
Disagree…Katface has ruined her once beautiful face. Her nose is way toooo small and it makes the rest of her face look off and swollen. She needs to stop with the plastic surgery, or else her nose will completely disappear!
Look I don’t believe in hitting people but I totally have to side with Kanye on this one. That kid is moron. And what he said was crazy wrong.
so you side with violence? cool.
I side with Kim simply telling that kid “you are ignorant” and moving forward with her day, not calling her boyfriend and having him stalk this kid into a chiropractor’s office and punch him in the face.
Thank you! The 18 year old (kid) may have been stupid and said stupid stuff but to call your boyfriend, then both of you go find him and assault him? I think their actions are less mature than the kid with the disgusting mouth!
Kimble, 18 year old ADULT legally.
There is no excuse for calling somebody names but I think that Kim is loving all this attention. BH is not a mile away from Calabasas so Kim obviously brought the paps with her which pissed that teen because they were blocking the sidewalk. Yeezus was not with her at that time. But does she have to call Kanye knowing how temperamental he is? I don’t know but this looks like an attention grabbing stunt to me. It screams staged!
The guy sounds awful, and though I loathe them I don’t blame them for being upset, but that’s a situation where you just walk away, or call security. The guy sounds unstable to begin with, so chasing him down is risky, and why chance another assault charge?
Exactly. Look at what just happened in Florida. This teenager sounds quite unstable – Kimye are lucky that this random person antagonizing them didn’t have a gun.
Don’t engage crazies! You never know how it will turn out.
I don’t understand why Kanye saying the n-word is being brought up? He is black AND he does not use it in an intentionally racist/degrading way. I’m no fan of anyone using the word, but c’mon.
exactly and this boy called the mother of his daughter a n-lover, stupid slut and a bitch. In this situation no one would think about a lawsuit following especially not Kanye with his anger problems.
Best thing would have been to just walk away… but in such moments you sadly don´t think rational. Afterwards you´re smarter.
…. and people who were not there always think they would have handled it better than the persons involved…
He wasn’t there to witness it, so the provocation level seems different. As foreigners, we heard a lot of crap growing up, some deeply insulting and horrible things. And when my sister dated an African-American guy, things got worse. It’s something you get used to dealing with, and becoming stronger with age. He seems too old to be engaging such an idiot as this kid. Yes, the insult is to attack, but as adults one has to learn to deal with insults, even unforgivable ones. Tons of people deal with the behavior every day, and worse.
Love your post Josephine as they sum up my feelings perfectly!
I see what you are saying but its either an offensive word in every context or not at all. You can’t have it both ways or else people are never going to stop using the word. Its a terrible word and it shouldn’t be used in any context. Kanye shouldn’t be using that word anymore than this kid.
Totally agree. Stop using the word. It’s derogatory in every sense. I hate to hear blacks calling each other the N word. My parents/grandparents didn’t suffer through decades of discrimination and intimidation to have these twits throwing the word around like it means nothing.
Frankly if anyone racially abused me or my family I wont ever hit them mainly because they are not worth spending time in jail for and secondly I will be going down to their level.
I will however give them such a verbal set down that they will never be able to be the same again – according to my husband, family & colleagues I give very good set downs (I have been known to make company directors cry).
Haha that is a great talent to have.
I’m truly jealous, Maya. My mom’s the same. She can tell someone off without them even knowing what hit them!
you’re known to make people cry? Clap Clap. You’re a real winner.
Pretty sure violence is never the answer. The kid was obviously looking for attention, and he certainly got some!
I think it’s possible that this whole thing was orchestrated by Kim for their show. Remember who we’re talking about here! I bet money exchanged hands all to keep those idiots in the news. Pathetic and desperate!
I can’t believe I had to scroll through a good 24 inches of comment to get to someone who realises that Kim Kardashian = set-up!
Either the 18 yo kid set them up for a payout, or PMK set it up to make Kanye look like a hero swooping in to defend his ladies honour. Or both….
This whole story just seems odd and things are not adding up to me.
Why would she call Kanye and not the police and then fallow him into the office.
Wow, this is the trashiest story I’ve ever read on a celeb site. If this was orchestrated for attention, I give it a D- on plot and an F on execution. Yikes.
I can’t stand either one of them, and I don’t think violence is ever the answer, and yet in my heart I can’t really blame him. IF this report is true, it sounds like he was being protective of his wife as well as himself. This guy stood there yelling horrible things at her for some time. I can see how Kayne would lose his temper on this one. Now I have to go lie down and start my day over for defending these idiots.
But the way the report reads, the incident was all over and Kanye went looking for this kid…he should have just walked away…this kid sounds like a nut, Kanyes lucky the kid didn’t have some kind of weapon on him…
True, MrsBPitt. I was thinking it happened more in the moment, but I see what you mean.
The kid, obviously, sounds like a jerk! However, in this life, we are all going to meet plenty of jerks and you just can’t go around hitting them all. Thats the law! Violence should never be the answer to verbal attacks. Someone needs to teach Kanye the old classic “sticks and stones can break my bones, but names can never hurt me”….
So I’ve read several articles regarding this story, so let me see if I got this straight:
Some punk-ass 18-year-old racist brat at first was talking crap to the papparazzi as he was holding the door and defending Kim K.
This somehow escalates to him turning on Kim K. and got into a racially offensive verbal altercation with Kim K. calling her a sl*t and a n— lover.
Punk-ass walks away from Kim K. and entered a chiropractors office.
Kim K. then calls Kanye on the phone after the verbal altercation was over, and then tells Kanye where he is, and they seek out the dude and Kanye physically assaults him.
And people are actually cheering Kanye for this because…?
Is celebrity vigilante justice acceptable now? Because that’s pretty much what Kim did. She pretty much sicced Kanye on the dude.
And yes, I am familiar with racial discrimination and have gotten into verbal altercations and had my life threatened because of it. That doesn’t mean I have the right to walk over and punch the lights out of all the ignorant racists I’ve encountered in my life.
Whatever happened to sticks and stones & taking the high road?
I don’t think people are cheering over it. I can only speak for myself, of course, but I did say that while I don’t approve of what he did, I can understand why he was so angry, IF the story is true. If someone was screaming at me and calling me a slut and other awful names, my husband might confront them. I’m not saying he would hit them, but I can see how things could go wrong. And my husband is a very gentle person. I can’t stand Kayne or Kim, but they are only human, and while there were a million better ways to handle it, for once I think his anger was justifiable – not his actions, but his anger.
Just realized I spelled his name wrong. Sorry.
“I don’t think people are cheering over it.”
You haven’t been on twitter yet then. It’s vile. Sure his anger is justifiable, but violence never solves anything. Kanye deliberately went looking for the guy, spurred on by Kim. If anything Kanye and Kim deserved to be charged, Kanye for assault and Kim for inciting violence.
Oh, I’m sorry. I misunderstood you. I thought you meant people on Celebitchy were cheering about it. I agree that he handled it badly, and it’s a shame if people are saying otherwise.
Aside from racial slurs, if the kid was screaming at paps, why haven’t the pix seen the light of day? You’d think that would be a big expensive, explosive story. Did the paps leave before Kanye arrived? Did she not make it into the doctors office, waiting outside instead? Who would wait with some loon calling you names, instead of fleeing, while waiting for your BF to show up?
Why hasn’t she posted either the footage of the guy screaming and ranting or at least the audio of it? Something seems untoward about this. Maybe it happened, but since Kim posts everything, why hasn’t she done that with this?
If this account is true, in spite of the hideous words the guy used, violence is not the answer. Apparently, the guy was already seated and had moved away and stopped with the slurs. This should have given Kim the presence of mind to calm Kanye down, since the ugly episode was over. I doubt there will be charges brought up against Kanye, but if there are, then Kim should have charges too since she essentially incited the entire situation. It wasn’t in the heat of the moment since ostensibly, the guy was no longer engaging.
^ This where are the picturs?
if this was all in front of the paps then why aren’t the photos of this kid or what happed everywhere. Not to mention the video Kim said they had.
TMZ has a new story with a video. For some reason their videos never work on my computer so I can’t see what is in it. They also have some pictures of a young man with his head partially hidden by a hoodie that they claim is the guy Kanye attacked.
They’re saving the pics for the new season.
@swack, I would look, but I don’t want to unnecessarily give TMZ or the Kardashians any clicks. But I appreciate you reporting that there is some evidence of the event.
You’d think the people sitting in the doctor’s office would have whipped out their phones and started recording the incident right? They would have sold the footage already.
The pictures:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2539292/Kanye-West-punch-victim-threatened-kill-Kim-Kardashian-caught-jumping-video.html
I agree. If he was screaming at the paparazzi that should’ve been the first video that went up. Instead they just keep saying he was being erratic.
That’s my thought — where are the pics? I don’t believe a word out of Kim’s mouth until I see proof. And even when there is proof of her lies, she still tries to lie about her lies and distorts the truth to serve her purpose.
But I love how everyone is automatically calling the kid a dbag, punk, sh*thead, etc. without having anything but Kim’s version of events.
Regardless of what the guy said, it doesn’t give license for another individual to show up and beat the snot out of someone who he wasn’t even engaging with.
……..can’t believe it because Kanye would never says anything inflammatory or insulting or call a woman a bitch or use the N-word.
Two wrongs still don’t make a right.
People are allowed to say whatever they want (no matter how digusting) it doesn’t give anyone the right to assault them.
With that being said, they are all scumbags, for different reasons
These stunt queens will stop at nothing for attention. I call bullshit like others upthread. They were starving for attention and came up with this mess.. tsk tsk tsk.
I’m so happy she wasn’t invited to any GG parties lol.
It sounds like that kid needed an ass-kicking.
I do not believe this happened. Everything with Kim and her family is staged, and if this really did happen, why are there no paparazzi pics of this, why no pics of this attacker or Kanye getting out of his car a? She and Kanye are probably angry since the GG happened recently and no one paid attention to Kim or Kanye. Niether of them were invited to the Golden Globes, so they make up some bs story to try and outshine the GG. They are just mad because they can’t and will never be amongst the Hollywood crowd and their gatherings.
I wonder what pathetic tricks they will come up with to try to take away attention from the Oscars. Its obvious this was a publicity stunt to be the headline. All this woman cares about is being the headline.
I get being upset about someone calling you an offensive word. I get that, but come on…Kanye is late 30’s and he punched an 18 year old!! I guess it means something differently b/c I have 16 year old twins and I am late 30’s as well and as annoying as these teens can be and that includes the older teens I can’t imagine punching one of them. Now there have been times that I have heard them say things when we are out and I can’t believe what kids say, but to go and punch one of them is crazy to me. It would have been different in a way in my mind if this was an older man saying this, but 18 is technically an adult, but come on. That’s the part that seems silly to me that he punched a little bratty teen. Not that he should punch someone older. I mean you can’t just punch everyone that insults you or says something you don’t like to hear. It all seems stage to me so they could get attention.
If Kimmy felt threatened she should have called the police. If it happened the way it is being reported than that means the attack on this guy was premeditated and Kim should be charged as well since she ordered the hit. In the work place you can be fired for using the N word so I don’t want to hear it while walking outside passing basketball courts or groups of people gathered about for whatever reason.
It is never okay to hit some idiot over words. Be better than that. If it is never okay for a man to hit a woman, why is it justifiable to assault a man for being in your face and using language that isn’t appropriate? There is such a thing as walking away and being a better person and rising above things.
It’s a whole OTHER thing to hunt someone down in a public venue (couldn’t bystanders have been in danger) and beat someone down? Kanye sounds like a creepy, repeating offender but what do I know?
(Full disclosure, I’m a woman of color who has heard things here and there… You can’t beat up all the dbags in the world…)
What that kid did was rude to be sure, but Kanye is 100% in the wrong.
If he was there, on the spot, when the kid was mouthing off and smacked him in the face you could *maybe* pass it off as being caught up in an angry moment, but getting a phone call, driving down, tracking the kid down in the doctor’s office and then hitting him? No way. If any of us lowly non-celebs did that you can be sure we’d have our asses sitting in a jail cell right now.
I am so sick of celebrities getting away with this kind of shit. Kanye needs his ass arrested and charged with assault & battery. Having money/being famous does not give you free reign to beat people up.
Kim, please, STOP wearing crop tops. Good grief, girl.
IKR ! she thinks she’s still 16! this woman is emotionally stunted!
+infinity
She’ll stop wearing the crop tops when her teen sisters stop wearing them. If you haven’t noticed, she really copies Kylie’s style.
Do these two EVER spend any time with their daughter?
Kid deserved to get his ass beat. What he said was rude and ugly. If he said it. I just can’t see anyone saying this stuff to her as she’s walking out the door. Time will tell. Kanye needs to keep his fists to himself, though. Just setting himself up for lawsuits or worse.
By going out of his way to go into an office he had no business being in because a guy said mean words about him,, Kanye was very much in the wrong and I hope he finally gets into legal trouble for assault. He is a father now and you can’t set the example of hitting people because of words. Even children are taught this. You’d think by mid 30s they would know too.
Yeah, let’s see the pics from all the paps this guy was supposedly yelling at. Kim, you’re so dumb- you think we can’t tell you obviously photoshop your pics and make up stories that can easily be disproven by the lack of pictures.
Verbal harassment is not OK and neither is assault. Meeting verbal harassment with assault is not OK. Kanye is a powerful adult, in the legal sense anyway, and he had other options besides reducing himself to violence. He has so much money and exposure he could have been much more creative in shaming the harasser.
You can’t punch someone for insulting you, even if they use racial slurs to do it. You can’t go somewhere after the fact to track down and attack someone. If this were a regular Joe Schmoe, especially a regular black Joe Schmoe, he would have been arrested already.
Call me jaded but I don’t believe this as true incident. I believe it was all staged and filmed to get this very much hated couple some good press. How convenient that Kanye just happened to be minutes away from Kim in a town known for traffic issues. How convenient that the paps were there to “film” it all and how convenient that the kid stuck around waiting for (?). The Kardashian clan are known liars and I can see them cooking this up. If this was for real and it was truly just a one in a million coincident that Kanye just happened to be in the area and without body guards well then I say two wrongs to make a right. Kanye isn’t that big of a dude and he shouldn’t go trying to punch out 18 year old street kids.
Kanye is such a hypocrite. Forget the N word, he constantly degrades women in his music by calling them ‘bitches, hoes, gold diggers’ etc. and no one is allowed to say or do anything to him, but if one kid MAYBE got out of line (there’s no proof besides he said she said), it’s okay for him to go and physically attack him? Sorry, no. I don’t care how racist the kid was, you can always separate yourself from a verbal altercation, especially with a child (???). Kim sought out where the kid was and basically told Kanye to attack him because why not? I will never understand how someone with such a bad temper like Kanye is allowed around an infant, let alone other people. These too live off of drama. Grow up.
I am actually impressed that Kim told this dumb Kid to shut it. Who would have thought.
This story to me was supposed to do 3 things make feel sorry for Kim, make Kanye likeable and make us stop talking about Kim Photoshop pictures/ her lying about them
You’d think if they were in a doctor’s office, there would be a number of witnesses. Why didn’t anyone call the police right away? There is footage of Kanye calmly walking out of the office after he punched the guy. WTH?
I smell set up.
This whole “situation” reeks of fakeness! Didn’t we just read that they were doing the PR stroll for attention? Kim has absolutely NO shame! Anyone really think they wouldn’t stage this?
This is BS? This chick wont pee unless it’s being recorded.Where are the pics,videos,witnesses?
Was this for their show?
Every time I see a picture of Kim, I wonder if she can open her mouth to eat. She can’t even smile, her face is so Botoxed.
Every version of this story I have read is different. I think this is another one of those “flour bomber” staged things by Pimp Granny. Don’t forget their new season is starting soon. How could they have this “on tape”? The paps just happened to be there? If somebody is threatening to kill you do you take your eyes off of him to phone your boyfriend? Not buying it
Sour-faced Kanye looks like he is constantly seething inside and ALWAYS looking for an excuse to punch someone.
If he were water, he’d be constantly boiling over.
Some people need a punch in the face, the world shouldnt forget this simple and basic rule to living in a safe environment. It’s so distorted these days and this is very evident by the fact that several women on here have said that they would have hit the racist guy as well. Good luck with that in the real world. You’d get beaten because the very psycho’s that need to be checked by a punch in the face would have no qualms about pounding yours to the ground.
This story doesn’t make any sense! If someone shouted that type of abuse I would simply raise above it. Beating up an 18 year old – yea, I’m sure that would have thought him a lesson – NOT!
So the kid didn’t punch Kanye back? Did Kanye knock the kid out? That is serious. Obviously, the kid is a racist jerk, but there is a lot more to this story.
Which is so easy to say if you have never been called a racial slur or discriminated against.
Staying silent doesn’t do anything but empower that ignorant fools racist beliefs. I think Kanye got baited by this punk to punch him but I support Kanye for standing up to racism and defending Kim. Everybody should be outraged an 18 year old in 2014 felt entitled to spew hate speech at a woman in public. I am sickened that most of you are more concerned with Kanyw slugging this punk than this racist punks hate speech in 2014
@ Stacey
I’ve been called many racial slurs and have been discriminated against many times.
In this case, when Kim knows kanye is already dealing with issues regarding attacking a pap, she should have just called the police and had them handle it. Instead she called Kanye and he came and punched the kid. That was a stupid move. Kanye did not get baited by the guy. Kanye wasn’t even there until Kim told him to show up. I think most people are outraged over this teens disgusting racist attitude but you can’t just go around punching everyone who says disgusting things. Physical assault, in the eyes of the law, is much worse than verbal assault. There are better ways to deal with racists. Now all that will happen is that Kanye will get sued and this kid will walk about with a nice chunk of change. Was it worth it? No.
Yes, but my point is people are more concerned over a single punch then outraged about this disgusting display of racism. By glossing over this racism and focusing on Kanye, people are acting like this what this kid did isnt that bad and that it is okay. What this kid said is deplorable. What Kanye did doesn’t negate the disgusting racist behavior of this punk.
Kim is married to a hot head and she will learn that in these moments, she needs to be careful about crying to Kanye because he will get riled up and go nuts on whoever upset her. She will learn she is setting him up for trouble when she gets him worked up. Double edged sword, he will fight for you but he will end up in trouble as well. I have many macho men in my life and they will “protect their flock” when they are threatened or wronged. Its almost a primal thing in these type of men. I dont think two wrongs make a right but IMO, Kanye is justified morally to be outraged and angry over what this man did to Kim. I respect him for standing up to that punk. I’m not going to fault him for standing up for her. He may think the legal consequences are Worth it. So be it.
@Stacey, People here are dealing with a story about reality people who make shit up and do anything for attention. So first, you have to determine what, if any level of the story, is true. Secondly, if the kid did utter racial slurs it’s disgusting, period. Thirdly, if true, the situation had already abated by the time Kanye arrived. It’s fine to be angry, and righteous to feel indignation, but it’s not fine to act out violently when the situation has ended, and no one is at risk of being harmed or killed. It was a one time event with the guy, not an ongoing level of harassment. What if the guy was carrying a gun? Why escalate a situation? Although it’s cathartic to imagine giving someone a beat down for being vile, vigilante justice is a very dangerous thing.
@ Stacey
But you’re only focusing on the racist slurs yourself. What about the homophobic slurs the kid made as well? Shouldn’t people be equally as disgusted? Most people agree what the kid said is disgusting, but that doesn’t mean you go beat the sh*t out of him. IMO I agree Kanye had the right to be outraged, but he didn’t have the right to physically assault someone. He is a FATHER now…he needs to be a better role model. Does he really want to spend time in jail and miss out on time with his daughter? Shouldn’t he be busy planning a wedding? He needs anger management.
Ewww her plastic surgery looks soooo bad in the last photo 🙁 Why did she do that?
Um yeah, my fiance and I are both white and if we even heard someone talking that way I assure you that he would jump that person. Beat the hell out of him. If you say “ni**er lover” you earn a savage beatdown.
I agree. Those are fighting words. I hope Kim sues the hell out of that kid. In what sad world do we live in that an 18 year old can get away saying those things to an innocent woman in broad daylight without legal consequence?! Kanye adminstered some vigilante justice because the law is useless to stop that punk. And thats sad.
This is one of those times where violence is warranted. He handled that appropriately. This is a rare time that I’m on Kanye and Kim’s side. That dude deserved what he got for hate speech and harassment!
There’s a video of this on TMZ…the kid is attempting to get attention by trying to get the paps away from Kim, but it doesn’t look like he was any kind of threat. The video ends as both he and Kim go inside the clinic, so who knows what happened after that, but there was no vile language in the video whatsoever.
Doesn’t Kim travel w/ bodyguards? If she doesn’t, she should start, because there might be some sick copycats. Even Kate Gosselin always travels w/ a bodyguard even though nobody is interested in her. I would think KIm would have one all the time too. Regardless, I think Kim should have left the building instead of walking into the room where the crazy guy was. If it were me & even if I had a bodyguard, and the guy went to the room I was going to go into, I’d not only be too scared to go into the same room & but I would be scared that Kanye would lose his mind & get arrested…. which is what happened…
After the flour bombing incident, she beefed up her security. I can’t see her going anywhere alone. I would think she would at least have a friend with her, no?
Kate Gosselin travels w/ a bodyguard because she’s sleeping with him. She needs a bodyguard as much as I do. Off subject, but I’m so damned sick and tired of her denying the relationship with Steve. I’d have a slight amount of respect for her if she could quit lying for just once in her life and own it.
Kanye assaulted the guy, end of story. The event occurred when he wasn’t even there. He deliberately planned this, because he had time to cool down before he got there. There were other ways to handle this, like calling the cops, especially if the kid was uttering death threats.
Kanye’s history of assault just reinforces the fact that he doesn’t deserve a pass. Just imagine if he carried a gun.
How do you know he doesn’t carry one? I believe in America all you need is a license right? As crazy as he acts, he would easily get a license even though we know he is mentally unstable.
I hate that people speak that way, but have to respect that they have that right. I am a lesbian and so many times I have dealt with people using harassing language and saying some truly scary and awful things (and I am not surrounded by my team or cameras) and you know what, those people are not doing anything wrong unless they directly threaten me. You can’t put your hands on someone, no matter how hateful they are.
He is and entitled and spoiled man who acts like a toddler or a teenage as the days go by. He needs to grow up.
I have no respect for racist people and hate speech and you shouldn’t have to either. Its wrong you have to endure verbal abuse so that some jerk can exercise his freedom of speech. Look how well that has worked out for this world? You get harrassed, Kim gets harrassed for being in an inter-racial relationship, I’ve been called a sp ik, and we all have to take it without any protection from the law and that is an injustice. Its wrong and it needs to change. Kanye wouldnt have had to take matters into his own hands if the law was on the side of victims of racial and discrimintory abuse. We have come a long way in this world but we cannot become lazy and complicit in the racism and sexism and discrimination against people that continues today.
Calling someone a racial slur is not a crime nor is it grounds for a lawsuit in this situation.Hell I was just called a N##ger B#tch yesterday because apparently I was driving too slow.Its hurtful but I didnt pull over or confront the guy.
Now this guy in Kanye’s case can file lawsuit and have Kanye arrested for assault.So who wins?
My heart agrees with you 100%, but to change things you have to work withing the system. It sucks and it’s slow and it puts it all on the shoulders of the oppressed, but violence or returning hate only gives the ignorant “reasons” for their twisted views. Kanye didn’t change this guys mind, if anything he solidified his opinion and the opinions of this boys friends and family. (Usually these type of people hang around with like-minded people so that their world view is never threatened.)
It’s crazy, I see a world that is changing and I believe that people as a whole are getting better, so these ugly people are getting more ridiculous as they see their power and control slipping away.
Also, Kim, that is wretched but you were more than right not to take action. You never know what kind of nut job it is and pulling over or engaging with them as you drive can result in life threatening situations.
I’m not the biggest fan of Kim or Kanye but that’s disgusting what that kid said to them. I can see how they would lose their temper. And they both look really nice in the picture where they are both wearing black.
Violence is never the answer that is true. However, I don’t blame Kayne and would probably have had the same reaction. I am impressed that Kim was able to handle that calmly at all. I mean that is a hateful disgusting word that was being applied to the man she loves and HER DAUGHTER!!
I don’t think violence is the answer, like I said, but if you don’t want to get your ass kicked probably shouldn’t scream racial slurs at people.
When you are 18 you are not a kid anymore! Age is not an excuse here! And while I do not necessarily think that he deserved to get hit I certainly don’t feel sorry for him!
Of course it’s on tape since they set it up. Gotta do something to get ratings back and racism is a good use for ratings. She’s a slut, who can deny that? However getting him to yell the ‘N’ word to provoke herself and Kanye is low. Low on the one that said it and low for Kim and her Klan on getting the guy to say it for the cameras. I’d love to see both of them (Kanye and the guy) face charges personally.
It’s ironic that you want someone to face charges for a racial slur while at the same time you think it’s okay to call people sluts. Racism is worse, but bigotry is bigotry. How is it that a person can call on someone to be jailed for one form of bigotry and then shamelessly express another form themselves, especially when the bigotry is against their own sex?
You can try to say that when I called a duck a duck it makes me appear one way or another. However until she has done something that makes her an actual person versus a walking no brained, no emotion other than a vapid sense of self-worth that comes from nothing other than what she looks like and who she’s slept with then I’ll continue to label her a slut. When the laws pass that labeling a woman a ‘slut’ becomes equal to other words used against a race then I’ll stop calling her a slut. Trying to compare slut and the n-word in terms of fairness doesn’t make sense to me. Calling a woman a slut over actions she, herself, committed herself into doing (as no one put a gun to her head or forced her in any type of sexual act out of her) is nothing more than calling it like it is. However the use of the n-word (or any other racial term used to demean and insult people over a large bit of history that we all know is quite horrible and inhuman) just doesn’t equate to bigotry in my books. At all. Is it right to call her that? Nope. But I can’t stand sitting here working hard and making ends meet while she gets to flitter through the streets, complaining about never being taken serious or that her photos aren’t photoshopped. If she truly cared on being labeled a slut- since I know some women do- then she should try to do something other than what’s she’s currently doing because ALL it’s doing is making more and more people hate her.
Apologies to the run on sentences as I know there are a few. Now I respect your opinion and thoughts as I’ve read them on the site. However to even be able to defend Kim just doesn’t make sense to me with your views on feminism. I admit that yes, continuing the slut name calling will only continue it and it may seem off putting. But I’m sorry, there will be no wavering when it comes to this woman or her family. I genuinely see them as a big stain on women and humanity a like.
+1
I do consider racism to be a little bit worse than sexually repressive misogyny, but this is still a form of bigotry just as serious as homophobia. Just as people have been oppressed, brutalized, and murdered because of homophobia, people- mostly women and girls- are and have been oppressed, brutalized, pushed to suicide, and murdered because of sexually repressive misogyny.
That’s why, as a feminist, I have no problem even defending a woman who I dislike and who contributes nothing to society on this issue. You may see sex workers, women who make sex tapes, and women who have lots of sex as a stain on women everywhere, but guess what? I see a slut-shaming as the real stain on women everywhere.
Don’t you think that the message that a female’s ‘sexual purity’- or lack thereof- is what determines her worth, respectability as a human being, and value- is worse than a woman making a sex tape and having sex with any single consenting adult whom she chooses? Because really, when we call women sluts and other synonyms, that’s the message that we’re promoting. In the desire to spread the message that women are more than their sex appeal, so many people (feminists and non-feminists) are all too willing to promote a message that is equally misogynistic- but worse, because it’s more dangerous and violent. Whether they want to promote oppression and violence or not.
You’ll probably agree that there’s no such thing as a n****r or a f***ot, because both of these labels are just cruel, socially constructed forms of hatred to dehumanize people for their race and keep them down, and to dehumanize gay people and demonize their sexuality. There’s no such thing as a slut either. That word is just a hate-based social construct meant to keep females from exercising their sexual and bodily autonomy- and to punish females (either socially, through the law, or through violence) for doing this.
I mean seriously, you said ‘committed’ as if by making a sex tape and having sex, she has broken some law against the government or humanity.
Bigotry is one of the few cases where I don’t care if someone assaults someone. People will always scream ‘free speech’ to defend someone’s right to call someone a racial slur, or a homophobic slur, or to slut-shame, or to be transphobic. But you have to know there’s a chance that someone may attack you for it. It may not be the best way to deal with bigotry, but if that happens, the bigot has no one to blame other than themselves and should not expect sympathy from anyone.
I know people believe this is staged because the Kardashians are fame-leeches, but it might not be staged. People really do talk about Kim and Kanye, and even her baby- I’ve seen this multiple times. There are still plenty of racists who view white women who have an intimate relationship with a black man as garbage because they hate black people. So it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if this was not staged. Prudes already hate her for making a sex tape, and Kanye does have a temper.
I think people have the right to say it, I think its sick and sad they want to and shouldn’t ever, but they have the right to do it. However, they can claim victim and whine when people react to the hate that is spewed at them. If you’re going to dish it out then you have to be prepared for the consequences.
WORDS do not justify violence. there is no rational reason to beat the hell out of someone. nope! none.
These two are probabaly just mad because Kim Kartrashian was not invited to the Golden Globes( why would she be) so she has to make up some bs story which could try to overhshadow the stars and winners of the Globes. Sheesh how pathetic is this woman? She is just trying to stay in the limelight thats all. She seems like someone who would use even racisim for ratings. What a lowly and small minded woman. I wonder what bs story she will make up for the Oscars. That 18 year old kid was probably a paid actor. I do not believe anything from her or her family.
Really hoping that this wasn’t a publicity stunt.
im sorry(not) but why is assault better than racism? do words justify violence?? yes this kid was a prick for sure but to beat him down? no im sorry, there is no winner here. there is no side to pick. they are all f*cking morons.
Kid must’ve got his vocabulary from Kanye’s lyrics.
Actually I’m glad the kid got the beat down. I wish he presses charges so we know the idiots name and so he can forever be labeled a racist. Who would hire this guy? His parents failed at raising him. Who does this in 2014? Back in the day his mother would have Beat him. Like a dog who urinates on the carpet. Kanye just doing him a favor.
What’s the guys name? If he’s so gung-ho about freedom of speech and broadcasting his views ….why don’t we have the freedom to know who we are dealing with? Racists like to hide in the shadows where no one can see them. Anonymity allows one to behave badly and for others to give him a pass. I’m not giving this idiot a pass. This idiot shouldn’t be given the ability to disrespect people without any reprocessions.
