Kanye West is getting sued over an angry encounter he had with a photographer -- the one where he pulled over to snatch her phone and throw it into the street.
, Ye was angrily confronting a different paparazzo, going through the man's pockets ... and she claims she feared the rapper might have had a weapon on him.In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Lechmanik says she was terrified he would come after her next ... and he did.
Ye told her,"If I say stop, stop with your cameras." Then he ripped her phone out of her hands and tossed it -- she says it landed in oncoming traffic.All of this was captured on video by Lechmanik's business partner who was recording from her passenger seat ... and she says Ye walked over to that side of the car and flashed a"death stare" at them. That same day she went to the Sheriff's Department to file a report about the incident.
That being said, Lechmanik says she was traumatized and humiliated ... and lost earnings because she wasn't able to go back to her J-O-B ... snapping photos of celebs. In the weeks after their encounter, Ye started going straight to law enforcement -- as he did on Valentine's Day -- whenever photogs approached him.Interestingly, she also wants an injunction blocking Ye from touching, annoying or threatening not just herself, but ANY photographer. Good luck with that part!
