Los Angeles, April 13 : Basketball player Kris Humphries is being sued for reportedly tricking a suit shop in Beverly Hills.

The 28-year-old, who is currently in the midst of a divorce from his wife of 72 days, Kim Kardashian, has been accused of lying to a store in Beverly Hills by promising to send over his team's clients for business in exchange for a discount, reports tmz. com.

According to the filed lawsuit, worker Scott Hill has claimed Humphries and his then-girlfriend Kim, visited the store a few years ago, striking a deal of 30 percent off in exchange for the custom of two of Humphries' fellow NBA sportsmen, within the next 12 months.

However, despite spending more than $46,000 in merchandise using his discount, Humphries failed to keep his word and is now being asked to pay back over $6,000, which he had initially got deducted.

Both parties are expected to testify during the trial, which is due to take place May 6.(IANS)
