Kanye West might be reconsidering how he handles the paparazzo going forward as today (March 17) the rapper was sentenced for his battery case regarding his attack on a photographer last year at LAX airport. According to ET:
Kanye West has been sentenced to two years probation in relation to an attack on a photographer at Los Angeles International Airport last year.
The 36-year-old Grammy winner pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery and was ordered to perform 250 hours of community service and undergo 30 days of anger management counseling.
The incident took place on July 19 when West was accused of attacking a photographer, trying to wrestle the camera away from him.
TMZ also revealed more details behind today’s ruling in the case:
In return for the no contest plea, the attempted grand theft charge has been dismissed.
Kanye was placed on 24 months informal probation — meaning he just has to keep his nose clean. At the end of the 24 months, assuming he hasn’t violated probation, the conviction will almost certainly be erased from his record.
West also agreed to 24 private therapy session for anger management.
Kanye also agreed to complete 250 hours of community service, and agreed to stay clear of the photog in question.
Kanye has to pay for the damage to the photog’s equipment and any medical bills he incurred.
The photog addressed the court and said he felt Kanye should be sent to jail. He talked about the trauma Kanye caused him and how his emotional injuries linger. He says he thinks Kanye used the attack to promote his album, Yeezus.
