Kanye West is being sued by one of his former employees, Lauren Pisciotta. Pisciotta alleges that during her time working for West, she was harassed by the music mogul. And when she expressed her discomfort with his advances, she was booted from the company.
The allegations against West don’t stop there. According to TMZ, after finding out about Pisciotta’s previous work on OnlyFans, he disapproved. The Yeezy founder told Pisciotta that he wanted her to be more “God Like.” And that started with her deleting her OnlyFans account.
Kanye West Slams Former Assistant’s ‘Baseless’ Claims
Kanye West is now claiming the allegations made against him by former Yeezy assistant Lauren Pisciotta are “baseless.” He claims that the OnlyFans model attempted to pursue “him sexually to coerce employment and other material benefits” and then blackmailed him when “her advances were rejected.”
In a statement made by the rapper via his lawyers, West said he would be filing his own suit.
“Prior to her termination as an assistant, Ms. Pisciotta stole his cell phone in an attempt to destroy phone records that would contradict her claims all of which have been preserved.”
The statement goes on to allege that Piscotta used her position at the clothing brand “to seek material gains, clout, and employment through inappropriate means.”
He also illustrated instances of her misconduct. Such as sending nude images, sexually suggestive narratives, and even offering the rapper sex on his birthday.
West’s Assistant Recalls Being Locked in Room With Him
According to court documents obtained from Pisciotta’s lawsuit, filed on June 3, the ex-assistant is suing for sexual harassment and wrongful termination. In the filings, she reports multiple inappropriate sexual advances made by West.
Including how he would allegedly masturbate while they were on the phone. She also noted a particular incident in which he allegedly locked her in a room with him. She claimed he masturbated until he fell asleep.
In addition to the reports of sexual harassment, Pisciotta maintains that her former employer has not delivered on several promises, including financial compensation. In September 2022, Pisciotta had been promoted to chief of staff. However, she was fired a month later. The company offered a severance of $3 million, which she claimed to have not received.
