Music and fashion icon Kanye West is facing a new legal battle as former assistant Lauren Pisciotta has filed a lawsuit against him, alleging sexual harassment, wrongful termination, breach of contract, and a hostile work environment. Pisciotta, who was already an established OnlyFans model, claims that her tumultuous employment with West began in July 2021.

According to Pisciotta, she first met West while he was assembling a fashion line. She was subsequently hired and even collaborated on a few tracks for his ‘Donda’ album. However, things took a dramatic turn in July 2022 when West allegedly desired to be “God-like” and persuaded Pisciotta to abandon her OnlyFans career for an annual salary of $1 million. Pisciotta agreed to the deal.

Pisciotta asserts that West’s behavior became increasingly erratic and inappropriate after this agreement. She claims he began sending her vile and sexually explicit text messages, describing disturbing sexual fantasies in graphic detail. In one of the alleged messages, West wrote, “See my problem is I be wanting to f* but then after I f* I want a girl to tell me how hard they been fed while I’m fing them. Then I want her to cheat on me.” He also allegedly made racially charged comments about his genitalia and engaged in sexually explicit behavior during phone calls.

Pisciotta further alleges that West was fixated on the genital size of her boyfriends and that multiple texts and videos are supporting her claims, including footage of West engaging in sexual acts with a model. Despite the alleged harassment, Pisciotta was promoted to Chief of Staff with a $4 million salary. However, by October 2022, she was abruptly terminated and offered a $3 million severance package, which she claims she never received.

Now, Pisciotta is seeking legal redress for the alleged wrongful termination, sexual harassment, breach of contract, and hostile work environment she endured during her tenure with West. The lawsuit could have significant implications for West, who has faced numerous controversies throughout his career.

Representatives for Kanye West have yet to comment on the lawsuit. The legal proceedings will likely shed more light on the allegations and the dynamics of West’s professional relationships.
