Photographer Kassandra Perez alleges that Kardashian hit her in the face, arm and chest when she tried to take his picture. She claims that he also stole her camera's memory card, worth approximately $30,000, according to court documents obtained by E! News.

Kardashian "removed the camera's memory card, threw the camera back at Plaintiff and left with Plaintiff's memory card stating, 'I'll pay you when I see you,'" the court papers say.

Kardashian had been making headlines in the tabloids recently for his dramatic weight gain. His fight with Perez erupted after she caught him shirtless leaving a West Hollywood gym.
