Kanye West Assault Case Headed Nowhere As All Parties Go Silent
Kanye West has appeared to have escaped some assault fees, because the complainants within the case have reportedly stopped cooperating with investigators.
TMZ is reporting that the 2 complainants, Mark and Jonnie Houston, haven’t been responding to repeated requests from the LAPD to supply them with data.
West, too, isn’t cooperating with the authorities.
This implies that for now, at the least, the assault investigation is on maintain — and could also be dismissed altogether, relying on the statute of limitations.
Last month, Ye sat down with Justin Laboy for an episode of The Download podcast, the place he defined that he confronted a person who allegedly made contact together with his spouse inappropriately on April 16.
“My wife is walking to the bathroom at the Chateau, and then this guy … just grabbed my wife,” he started. “I didn’t see it directly, and [Bianca] started just explaining to me what happened, so then I walked over and found him.
“I’m talking to different security, not just the security that be with me, but other security, like, ‘Okay, let’s get this guy just escorted out or something.’ And then I talked to the guy and I say, ‘Yo, I need you to just— you need to leave right now,’ and he’s like ‘Oh, it’s okay, it’s okay.’
He continued: “It’s like, no, it’s not okay; it wasn’t okay. Then he saw it wasn’t okay — had to go to bed early, tucked this n-gga in. He had to go to bed early.”
While the Chicago native gave the impression to be pleased with himself for knocking out the alleged perpetrator, TMZ spoke to some eyewitnesses who had been current on the famed resort throughout the incident, and their claims about what went down are vastly totally different from Ye’s.
One eyewitness claimed {that a} man by chance bumped into West’s spouse, which prompted the rapper and producer to confront him exterior the constructing. He then allegedly punched the individual he thought was accountable, although he apparently ended up placing the person’s equivalent twin as an alternative.
The two folks on the heart of this controversy, brothers Mark and Jonnie Houston, personal a sequence of eating places within the larger Los Angeles space. As of now, it’s unclear which of the 2 allegedly bumped into Censori and who obtained hit by West in flip.
Kanye’s folks had a very totally different recollection of the ordeal, as they informed TMZ that the alleged assailant didn’t merely run into Censori.
“‘Grabbed’ is grossly inadequate as a description of what happened. Bianca was physically assaulted,” a rep for West stated in a press release on the time.
“The assailant didn’t merely collide into her. He put his hands under her dress, directly on her body, he grabbed her waist, he spun her around, and then he blew her kisses. She was battered and sexually assaulted.”
As of this writing, Censori has not filed prison fees in opposition to both of the twins.
