Lamar Odom, the NBA star and husband of Khloé Kardashian, was caught on video having a violent run in with two paparazzi this week.

The video, released by TMZ, gives little context for the incident, but Odom is clearly seen taking camera equipment from a paparazzo’s car and throwing it into the street. Odom does not appear out of control, and the paparazzi do little to try to stop him.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the paparazzo in question was asking Odom about a story that he allegedly cheated on his wife.

“I would never cheat on my wife. That’s why I wear my ring,” Odom reportedly said before confronting the paparazzo.

After the story broke, Khloé took to Twitter to explain what happened and defend her husband.

“wow can’t believe a paparazzi snuck into our gated area and violated our private property!!!!!” she tweeted. “This is the same pap that did a hit and run but my brother and I caught him and he has the nerve to taunt us!!!! Be ashamed of yourself,” Khloé continued.

The photographer has filed a police report for vandalism, reported TMZ, and the LAPD revealed that the police report could involve “possible grand theft and battery," according to the Los Angeles Times.

Odom has yet to comment, and no arrests have been made. No word on how Odom’s potential legal problems would impact his NBA future. Odom is currently a free agent after a mediocre season with the Clippers, and it was recently reported that the Lakers may be interested in having him back on their team.
