Watch: Kourtney Kardashian’s Ex-Boyfriend Younes Bendjima Repeatedly Punches Club Employee
Reality star Kourtney Kardashian’s ex-boyfriend and French model Younes Bendjima was seen beating up a nightclub employee in West Hollywood, California, in a video obtained by TMZ.
The incident took place March 24 at Delilah nightclub at 2:15 a.m. local time (5:15 a.m. EDT). A group of celebrities — including Bendjima, rapper Drake and NFL player Odell Beckham Jr. — was making itsway out of the facility through the back door when a club employee opened the door that led to the parking lot of the club.
After the man appeared to mouth a few words in the video which enraged Bendjima, the model delivered a blow to the employee’s head. He continued to repeatedly punch the employee, holding the man’s head with one hand to aim his attacks. Soon, he was joined by more than one of his companions, who also started brutally attacking the man.
Drake and Beckham Jr. were seen witnessing the scene from a short distance away but they chose not to interfere. While Drake was seen walking away from the scene after saying something, Beckham Jr. lingered at the scene, watching the fight. Although the group of celebrities were supposed to head through the door into the parking lot, most of them walked away from the scene after the fight started.
An unnamed witness who was at the scene when the confrontation took place, told TMZ the victim “talked smack” as he held the door open for the celebrities. It was not clear if the employee’s words were directed specifically toward Bendjima.
The police told the publication the employee initially wanted to press charges against his assailants but changed his mind later.
Bendjima was still dating Kardashian at the time the incident took place. The couple split up in July. The news of their breakup became public when Bendjima was photographed with another girl during a vacation in Mexico earlier this month. Bendjima was seen cozying up to the mystery woman as they playfully wrestled in the sand.
At the time, Bendjima denied having any romantic relation with the woman and snapped back at tabloids for fabricating the truth.
“They really want me to be the bad guy. F--- your Hollywood b-------, can’t have fun with your friends no more,” he wrote on Instagram. “I’m not attached to this ‘life’ so you can’t touch me. I know who I am where I’m from and where I’m going and that bothers you. Only one opinion matter the one of my Lord. Have a wonderful day.”
However, a source close to Kardashian told People magazine she had been having problems with Bendjima ever since coming back from a European vacation in July.
“As soon as their long European vacation was over, they started having problems,” the source said. “Younes was in L.A. recently, and things were not great. He and Kourtney didn’t get along. They decided to take a break, but were not officially over. Now with the pictures of Younes in Mexico, they are definitely not getting back together.”
