Khloe Kardashian facing lawsuit for alleged nightclub assault

LOS ANGELES — Khloe Kardashian is being sued by a transgender woman who claims the reality TV star assaulted her outside a Hollywood nightclub.

The incident occurred in December 2009, TMZ reported. Chantal Spears, formerly known as Ronald Spears, said she approached Kardashian’s husband, LA Lakers basketball star Lamar Odom, outside the Playhouse nightclub and told him he was “too young to be married.”

She said Kardashian then “pushed and hit” her.

Her lawsuit says she required medical care and suffered from “severe mental anguish” after the alleged assault, which she claims she did not provoke, according to People.

Spears is seeking unspecified damages.

Representatives for Kardashian did not respond to TMZ’s request for comment.
