Grammy Award-winning artist Kanye West has found himself in hot water yet again. West is no stranger to negative press. However, this latest allegation appears to be a lot more serious than others.
According to TMZ, Kanye is being sued by one of his former employees. The employee 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.
Kanye West Sued For Harassment
“Kanye West’s ex-executive/personal assistant claims he gave her the boot after sending her vile sexual texts and videos,” TMZ wrote.
“Lauren Pisciotta says in her lawsuit, she was an OnlyFans model who posted a bunch of bikini and lingerie pics and was super successful — making $1 mil a year.”
West Forced Employee to Quit OnlyFans
The allegations against West don’t stop there. According to TMZ, after finding out about Lauren’s work with 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.
However, it was a costly move for West to make. He had to shell out seven figures for Lauren to agree to stop posting content.
“Kanye hired Lauren in July 2021, after meeting her when he was putting together his fashion line. She says she also collaborated with him and worked with him on 3 songs on “Donda.” TMZ added.
“A year later, she says he came to her and wanted her to be “God Like” and asked her to delete her OnlyFans account — and promised to pay her $1 mil a year if she did so. She says she agreed.”
However, Lauren claims that was just a tactic for West to abuse his power. He began sending her sexually explicit text messages.
As of now, West has not released a statement on the lawsuit.
