The guy Kanye West allegedly punched in the face was one half of a set of twins who are big shots in the restaurant scene in L.A., TMZ reports.
Kanye West was said to have hit the wrong one.
Eyewitnesses who were on the scene Wednesday morning at the Chateau Marmont hotel told TMZ that what Kanye’s team said about what happened namely, Bianca herself had been assaulted by the man who ran into her, is totally off base and simply not accurate.
TMZ sources revealed that from their perspective … a man accidentally bumped into Bianca in the hotel lobby, which they say was busy at the time. It happened quickly, and the man went on about his way.
The guy went outside and sat at a table with friends, and it was at that point Kanye approached them to confront the man.
At this point, Kanye punched the guy in the face … but ended up punching the wrong dude, because he’s a twin, and his brother was right there sitting with him as well. So, a mix-up.
As for who these twins are, Mark and Jonnie Houston are the ones who were involved, although, not clear which one ran into Bianca, and which was hit.
Some of the venues under their belt … No Vacancy, Davey Wayne’s, Black Rabbit Rose, and Break Room 86 … just to name a few. they frequent the Chateau.
Sources say Kanye left after the altercation, and eventually cops showed up. Kanye is now a suspect in a battery report, and police say they wanna talk to him.
Law enforcement sources confirmed this narrative to TMZ, and the brother Kanye punched again, not the one who actually bumped into Bianca, got a one-two whack to the dome … he actually got socked TWICE (allegedly).
So far, cops haven’t been able to dig up evidence that backs Kanye’s account — that Bianca was manhandled and spun around by the guy. The case is still under investigation.
A rep for Kanye insists Bianca was sexually assaulted — reiterating their claim that one of the brothers grabbed her, spun her around, and blew kisses at her … also claiming a staff member came to check on her afterward. They add, “This was a physical, sexual assault and any attempt to undermine the seriousness of what happened is repellent and vile.”
