Why can't they just leave that man alone And let him live

That's YE, Kanye West is no more.

Once day hopefully he'll get the help he needs😔

Yeah Kanye was not in the wrong and good for him for doing that, that lady needs to piss off!

🧐😡😮🇺🇸🗽📲

That’s exactly what they wanted.smh

Why is he shopping at that store where they promote child abuse? Him being so religious I'd think he would cut ties with them

Leave him a lone

Someone needs to put a Memphis style beating on Kanye

That's nothing compared to the Pfizer guy getting exposed and assaulting Project Veritas for exposing him.

=_= Stop with the misleading content. I'm sitting here thinking Kanye done mollywhopped this woman for putting her phone out. He just took her phone and yeeted it to the streets. I would have done the same if they flashed a phone in my face aswell.

Poking a bee hive.

All around bad ass

She’s chasing him in a car? That’s a danger to everyone on the streets & in his vehicles. She’s stalking, harassing, endangering…ye was in the right. That poor dog, going to be smeared on her steering wheel or airbag. She’s hideous & an animal abuser.

leave ppl alone then lmao

Maybe stop shoving cameras in peoples faces? 🤔 good for u ye 👏

people need to realize with fame comes consequences, you can't be famous, rich and thinking you will be treated like an average joe. You will be filmed and if you don't like it don't be famous

Sound like a private engagement that didn’t end well for a phone. No story here. Also, who really fucking cares? 🤷‍♂️🥴

People should be able to move in this world without being stalked. Regardless who they are or what they do.

I'm Team Kanye......on this one at least

don’t you mean Ye?

Even if you post it 10 times he wasnt in wrong this time

He was %100 right to do so.

That’s not very Christian of you, Kanye

Try being followed by a freak with a camera (phone) filming & heckling you without your consent.

leave him alone.

Yes he’s wacko but deserves to be left alone.

... who cares? People get annoyed🤷🏽‍♂️

Kanye and Ye are two different people. And thats not Ye.

That's a bad bunny think don't copy him

ok and are they named as suspect for harassment? he should go to their kids games in public with a camera crew and say 'what do you want us to do?'

She got what she deserved. She should be arrested for harassment. He didn’t touch her just the phone!

this not that darn bad of a crime . so the point of reporting it why

He’s not a well person get him some help.

Battery is when you intentionally harrass someone to the point u put hands on someone, which leads to a assault. Paparazzi's are always harressing rich people, & when this happens, they play victim. He can actually file charges on u Karen for harrassment and stalking.

That's not him

These people need to respect people’s personal space what you expect walking into somebody’s space and shoving a damn camera phone in their face they coulda asked permission first. He didn’t know what to expect when some stranger walks up on you

That would be annoying seeing a phone pointed at you taping all the time🤯

TMZ do better what’s this headline

MJ’s gone and your focus now is Ye. Great job, keep it up TMZ

They should leave him alone , I bet those people could not handle it either

All they do is keep talking about this man! Get a life! Next thing they are going to post he used the bathroom or ate fruitloops for breakfast! Sickening!

Sensationalism is real. Battery, really? Damage of personal property but battery? Come-on. TMZ you all are a joke. I'd like to see how you all handle drama in your personal life.

It doesn't matter that she was recording him. That is his life now. He doesn't get to throw a hissy fit and damage people personal property. He want all the attention, so here it is. Get on somes meds Kanye, for real.

Looks like this person is in their vehicle. If Kanye reached in that person's car and took their personal property, invaded that person's space, and instigated the aggressive encounter and situation. yes, it could be charged as they say.

What gets me with celebrities is they post all their business and shit on social media (some) and get all offended by people taking photos. You signed up for the famous gig. If you don’t want the attention, don’t seek it on other platforms. They ask for this! Famous! Duh!

Damn leave this man alone. He is suffering with mental issues. Stop antagonizing him, before he flips out and really hurts someone.

They just need to leave Ye alone because if someone I didn't know put a phone in my face for pictures and video I would slap the shi! out of them.

I know people aren't on here concerned because it was a woman!!! I haven't seen anything else from TMZ or anyone else about Dana White, SO STOP!!!

If a camera was all in my face , I would grab it and throw it too. LEAVEKANYEALONE stop stalking him

Privacy ISN'T a issue until it happens to you.

I'm so sorry that stars have to deal with people like that. She's petting her dog and getting off on irritating him. Props to Kanye for not getting more aggressive. That had to have been infuriating

Hey as far as I'm concerned, he was in his rights. Shame on the fact anyone would be sticking up for the photographer. He has every right to his privacy.

Im sure the paparazzi drives celebrities crazy. But in this instance, the lady is in her car, and he walks back to her. He could have easily just left. He knows the game and was asking for trouble confronting her, then snatching and throwing her phone.

I so much hate TMZ, they always leave out the important details and try to paint Kanye West as bad person all the day. Y’all heard how arrogant and senseless those paparazzi were, I don’t know why I’m seeing TMZ updates. Going to press the block button cos y’all are haters indeed

She was in her car though. Why would he even stop his own ride to get out and walk to her? That was dumb.

I don’t feel he did anything wrong! These people go way too damn far with their phones harassing and stalking.

He’s been wrong so many times but this ain’t one of the times. Stop stalking the kids, weirdos— y’all got articles written by grown ass adults detailing what she wears out to a dinner. It’s weirdo shit y’all be doing 🫠

Leave him alone... I don't even like Kanye. But leave him alone.

definitely not battery vandalism maybe they need to leave him alone seriously

That’s what she wanted money leave YE ALONE

Who's Kanye West?

I told y’all stay out his business, everyone don’t want to b bothered with all that bs

Celebrities get more attention than the homeless. WOW

Keep your hands to yourself.. No excuse

Leave this man alone and let him live 😮‍💨

Love it! Fly camera

Did something happen to the battery in the phone

Well, for once I can't blame him. Paps are like vultures with absolutely no respect. Get out of people's faces and they won't be close enough to slap your shit phone away lol

Leave the man tfa 😩

Well she is recording him like a dumbass while he under emotional stress bro lost his life and hottest wife shit can’t believe he didn’t commit suicide prayforkanye

Battery? Pease stop the madness

Ummm how is this battery ? Always coming for Kanye with bs all to make a story line. Leave that man alone and let him live in peace !

I don't blame him. Let that man be!!!

Well then don't pull your phone out and record nobody ...I would have done the same thing ... actually would have slapped her silly

Who he batter? The phone?

Oh please! He tossed her phone...if she has a decent case it'll be fine.

That’s not Kanye

Leave that man alone!!

So he assaulted her phone?

Leave the man alone then! I disagree w Ye on MANY things. This is not one of them.

They should arrest him and charge him for Harming Life of a Phone's life. That Phone is going to be take him to phone court.

Battery Charges !!! ? 🤔 Now it's time to take down Ye.. Let's see how they make this one stick.

It’s giving setup. One is recording Ye, and the other phone is recording the stalker. Eh, Let’s not try and say it isn’t.

He should just owe her a new phone. No harm was done to her. She'll show signs of being, 'traumatized,' but it won't stop her from doing it again. Hope he has a good lawyer.

You don't get to file assault charges, and you are basically Stalking!!

That was theft and destruction of property... I did not see him touch anyone for a battery charge.

I’m not a fan but most of the time, these paps deserves it.

Leave him tf alone

Paparazzi or a member of public doesn’t matter, that’s what you get when you go over the line. Believe it or not, celebrities are also human beings and also have the need for privacy ( like YOU 🫵) when they’re with or near their children unless they give permission otherwise.

I blame and all paparazzi for following that man!!! Y’all are trying to break his soul!!! Leave him alone!!!!

Sorry, but I’d do the same thing if someone stuck a camera phone in my face. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I prob done the same. He looked like he was in a accident and people were shoving cameras in his face. 'Your a celebrity' ok but also a human

That's what she gets. Respect their privacy what little they get geez

INVASION OF HIS PERSONAL SPACE, CAN RESULT IN THIS, WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION. JUST LEAVE YE WEST ALONE!!! 🎯

He told ya'll to leave him alone! Now it's his fault. Smh...

Ppl is always messing with this man for no reason. They need found themselves some business. Leave YE alone. They won’t have no problem.

Snatching someone's phone is not battery,if she was invading his personal space or privacy, he had every right to snatch her phone. She deserved it if that was the case. Did he physically strike her in any way? No? Then it's not battery!! This world is f*cked 🤦‍♀️

pic a lane want to be famous or not

Lock him away henis mentally unstable what are they waiting for him to kill someone? They want attention only when Tbey want attention get the hell away with that whole family

Context: They were taking pictures of him and his children at a game. Very reasonable from Ye.

I you guys really don’t like Ye anymore , probably sent that young lady with attitude to provoke him and now you’re harassing the poor guy

He pulled a BAD BUNNY LMAO

Welcome to America where a white girl's iphone is worth more than a Black man's life

Kanye loves to give krakers exactly what they want.

I’m sure they’ll try Shanghai him to jail

Don’t worry Ye. I’ll do the assaulting. are the Kardashians breathing okay these past 2 weeks? Ever since Ye married a NATURAL beautiful 27 year old with a Master’s degree? Harvard and Paw Pawtrol. Now baiting him. Desperate. What will you do BiancYe start their family 🥰❤️‍🔥

What a crazy sick person. Why is he so important again. None the less no one should touch another person's personal stuff. You sign up for this. You know this is how fans and reporters are. It comes with the job.

All the ppl defending him is gross. He literally got out of his car and went up to her window and violated her space. She was just recorded him from a distance while he was in his car. His kids were nowhere around so stop with that excuse

What's the difference between a stalker and paparazzi?

I think if someone was to repeatedly shove a phone or camera in my face and deliberately annoy me then I would do the same thing. Paps are desperate to get this sort of reaction from celebs.

This uncle tom knows what he’s doing. Publicity stunt number 1038 😂

So it’s ok for him to harass, threaten, and stalk, to the point of creating a dangerous situation. Yet he has a problem when the tables are turned? Karma’s a dirty whore, but I love her…

When did grabbing a phone become battery? 🤦‍♀️

Asurian would be rich af if it was me

battery B for f*cking real ☠️

Looks like she’s recording him without his consent. Ye has a rep of getting mad at paparazzi. What makes this worse is this looks like a normal person just recording him.

Every papo's dream payday

I can’t believe how many “men” er um, little toddler boys, are defending this behavior. Disgusting

What a pathetic coward to be approaching & treating a woman this aggressively. This isn’t how a man behaves. Cowardly little cry baby bitch boy.

Y’all corny for this

TMZ & the chosen ones ! Just leave the guy alone

Leave my nigga alone

She a pap. FIND GOD

do you know how wrong you have to be to look like a worse person then Kanye west in 2023 😭

Still tryna smear this man lol? He is above you all

Nah, they should leave him alone, He deserves some privacy too.

He is so out of control...

This is the fakest fucking headline I’ve ever seen. Suspect in battery investigation. He was being filmed by stalkers and had a normal reaction to it.

Nothing more powerful in America then a white woman tears

I would have grabbed and thrown that shit to

Leave him alone then. Damn it's not hard to say Hey there's Ye...pretty cool and go about your day

Is snatching a phone, battery, theft or just a simple insurance claim ?

Some infiltrated fuck to press his buttons and make him out to be the bad guy. Kanye's gangstalked no doubt, it's corrupt as fuck and gotta make ya wonder, same Ventura county as Britney... two high profile not nearly as free as we led to believe

He needs to be arrested and charged like any black man in America

Kim needs to leave him alone already, quit tryin to take Ye for all he got

He is such a mean person. I don't care who disagrees with me. I'm tired of him up there on his soap box with his holier than thou attutude.

Good,I would do the same…this is becoming ridiculous…

Ok, 1. Yes its battery, went thru a similar situation, lady threw my phone and thats what the officer told her was gunna happen to her. And in this case i support him, leave his kids alone you creeps!

Didn’t Bad Bunny just do this like a month ago and people felt bad for him and defended him? But of course Ye under pressure for the same thing and, of course, it’s on a whole other level. So ridiculous.

So the woman can harras him and invade his privacy but he can't do shit?

KANYE IS A WORTHLESS THUG

Bad Bunny threw a woman’s phone too. Is he a suspect in a “battery investigation” too?

Maybe dont be a weirdo stalker and go do something thats actually meaningful but idk

Just because he is a celebrity doesn't mean his life is everyone's. Who would like being followed and recorded al the time? When people who work in front of them choose to step in front of cameras thats what they share. Not the private part of human life. I would have done same.

But it’s cool for Tom Green to hump a dead moose.

He should know everywhere he does he'll be followed

No one wants someone always recording all their intimate family moments. Stars are humans too who the heck always wants their lives to be on display. I get his frustration cause even at their kids events come on have some boundaries.

He was tired of Becky's shit...'but you're a celebrity' does not make it ok to put a camera in his face while he's trying to enjoy his kids.

This headline is ridiculous. “Suspect!!” He snatched her phone! Big deal. Nobody cares. There are bigger issues in this world! The paps are like ticks on a dog! Let the man attend his kids game w/o being harassed. His kids clearly do not like the paparazzi being so intrusive.

So everyone with a cellphone is a photographer?..Try stalker taking pics/videos on phone..

Leave Kanye alone damn y’all must don’t have a job go find y’all self some business

People leave the man alone good grief!! He just want to see his kids game in peace

Always something with him

Battery? Smh

New Charles Hamilton 🔥

It ain't the first time and it certainly won't be the last 🤷🏿‍♂️ I've seen him break whole ass cameras and shit, I don't expect this nigga to show a phone any mercy 😂😂😂

you work for the machine Ye was talking about

Leave people tf alone …

They need to leave the man alone.. Damn 🤦🏿‍♂️

Well thats Kanye not Ye, so we gon be alright

'Don't TAKE no PHOTOS'

Leave my Ye alone!!! It must be annoying

if you stalk people and expect zero consequences idk what to tell ya

People should know not to provoke him, he will get physical with the paperazi if they are to crazy with him

Shes lucky it was just her phone and not her dog

🖕🏿 the paparazzi

I don’t see anything wrong here

this is always tough especially since you can just video edit shit like crazy.. anyway i do think its ok to take pics, but im not sure if grabbing her phone and throwing it is good. Tho these incidents will happen , and people who take pics like that are usualy in bad faith

Not gonna win the battle against the paps as one the most popular humans on the planet. It’s a legal space, and if anything, this only motivates them to go harder for a potential payday.

Kanye the GOAT, she was probably recording him without his permission.

There was a time when this crap didn’t see the light of day and would of be laughed out of a court room. What a joke.

W Ye if someone puts a camera in your face you have every right to get it out of your face

Just pay the phone he didn't beat the person well you want to make a money out of him Well stop 🛑 vedio or recording him he doesn't like it Eh I don't think Kanye would beat a person you making it like he is violent man which he is not

Glad to see his new marriage hasn’t changed him.

the paparazzi intentionally antagonize kanYE so they can sell there video for more they just need to leave the man alone

He’s severely disturbed

Guilty

Ye made the right desicion

Ye needs help, more help than people realize. Therapy, meditation and counseling is needed. He also needs a true friend, more of a mentor to guide him back to the Ye we once knew.

Sounds like he battered a phone

Leave him alone.

$100 for anyone to have Tareq Nasheed debate to show he's a fraud

Love reading posts that defend him. It shows their ignorance for all the world to see.

1 in 3 Black men will go to jail. Just a fyi👈🏾

Throwing a phone is battery?

damn bruh leave that MAN alone!

Cant jus go up to random civilians putting stuff in they face what make it ok cause he a celebrity. He don't know nun about that woman she culda been tryna attack him for all he knew

You ever think you guys may be the bad guys here? You guys are basically stalking Ye looking for a quick cash grab off of his name.

Named suspect lol. It’s a video. Also “battery” is a stretch

Wild seeing all these clown defending this hitler praising clown. I really hope he slips up hard soon and winds up in prison.

LEAVE THAT MAN ALONE

He is literally saying stop so stop

TMZ is a terrorist organization

Don’t put phones in front of people tmz

He already said it’s’ up 🤷‍♂️🤣

Good for you Ye! That stalker should’ve respected your boundaries.

Ye did nothing wrong. Stop stalking him.

This why Kanye the goat 🙏

she was literally following him

First Kanye W in months

Wanye

After reviewing the video i have come to the conclusion that this is not Kanye West and he should be deemed innocent.

Bruh kayne is a goat 🔥😂

Read into the whole story. Don’t believe these terrible headlines. He was provoked

As Andrew Tate said, first they cancel you, then they arrest you, then they off you.

Bro the mf has a phone in his face recording him and yall expect him not to get mad? Have you not seen this man around paparazzi, he hates it

Vintage Kanye

'Photographer' You people are demons

Oh please all the crap folk get away with in LA gag!

No way kanye😱😱😱HOW DARE HE DO THAT😡😡😡

Leave him alone

Leave that man alone

Ppl should not be obvious video taping him, he has anger issues, just leave him alone.

This that chick now.

He needs to check himself into a facility

He’s innocent

“Photographer”?

I despise this dude, but throwing a phone is battery?

The great MAGA meltdown continues. File under: “Do you know who I am”?

Ok.

I fucken hate Kanye but I hate paparazzi more. I hope stuff like this happens more often to paparazzi.

If he gets arrested and does jail time

i mean he broke the law , but it was worth it

so Bad Bunny does it and Ye wants to copy him 🤦🏽‍♂️
