Kanye West has been accused of sexual harassment in a lawsuit brought forward by his former assistant.
Lauren Pisciotta claims the All Falls Down rapper, 46 – who goes by Ye – sent her a series of lurid messages before firing her.
West hired Pisciotta in July 2021 when she had a successful OnlyFans profile and they collaborated together on three songs in Donda, according to the suit as reported by TMZ.
Pisciotta described how a year later West asked her to stop using OnlyFans, offering her a $1million a year salary if she agreed, which she did.
Shortly after, the suit alleges West began sending her vulgar text messages, sexual videos and photos, and would masturbate while on the phone to her, and ask if she could tell what he was doing.
She also claims the rapper was fixated on the penis size of her past boyfriends.
According to the lawsuit, Pisciotta was then promoted to Chief of Staff for his various companies and her salary was increased to $4million.
In October 2022, Pisciotta says she was fired and offered $3million severance, which she accepted but would never receive.
She’s suing for breach of contract, sexual harassment, wrongful termination and hostile work environment.
This comes just a month after it emerged that West was being sued for racial discrimination by a former security guard, who alleges the controversial star subjected Black employees to ‘less favourable treatment than their White counterparts.’
Documents obtained by People alleged West ‘frequently screamed at and berated Black employees’ and fired Benjamin for refusing to cut his dreadlocks.
West has also hit headlines over the past year or so for his various outings with his wife, Bianca Censori.
They were recently spotted on a return trip to Italy a year after their controversial visit to Venice, for which they were slammed by the Tourism and Promotion office in Florence and asked to behave more respectfully.
While on a river boat ride, West was pictured with his trousers down and his bum out, as his partner was crouched down between his legs.
Known for sporting risqué outfits, this time around Bianca wore white, long-sleeved thong bodysuit paired with thigh-high boots.
West went public with his relationship with Bianca last year, weeks after they secretly tied the knot at the end of 2022.
He was married to Kim Kardashian from 2014 to March 2022 and they welcomed four children together – North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm.
