Kanye West Faces Allegations of Sexual Harassment and Misconduct in Lawsuit
Rapper Kanye West, now known as Ye, finds himself embroiled in a lawsuit filed by his former
assistant, Lauren Pisciotta, who alleges instances of sexual harassment, stalking, and unpaid
severance. The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, sheds light on disturbing allegations
regarding West’s conduct, including claims of engaging in a five-person orgy with his wife, Bianca
Censori, and coercing sexual favors from employees.
According to Pisciotta’s complaint, she was employed by West from 2021 to 2022 and was paid an annual wage of $1 million to be available around the clock. Shocking allegations reveal West’s purported requests for Pisciotta to facilitate encounters with women for himself and his wife, Bianca. These encounters allegedly included arranging Uber rides for women to meet with West, as well as participating in sexual activities involving multiple individuals.
Furthermore, the lawsuit details instances where West allegedly made inappropriate demands of Pisciotta, such as asking her to remove her clothing while in the office and pressuring her and other female guests to perform sexual acts on him and his male associates. Pisciotta also claims that West sent her pornographic materials, engaged in sexual acts while on the phone with her, and made lewd inquiries about her past relationships.
In addition to the allegations against West, the lawsuit names several of his companies, including Yeezy, Yeezy Apparel, Yeezy Footwear, and Yeezy Construction, as defendants. Pisciotta’s legal action seeks compensation for unpaid severance, as well as damages for the alleged sexual harassment and misconduct she experienced during her employment.
West’s legal representatives have denied the allegations, characterizing them as baseless and retaliatory. They assert that Pisciotta actively pursued West sexually in an attempt to secure employment benefits and resorted to blackmail and extortion when her advances were rebuffed.
This lawsuit adds to a growing list of legal troubles for West, who is also facing similar allegations from other former employees. The disturbing nature of these accusations underscores the importance of addressing workplace harassment and ensuring accountability for individuals in positions of power.
As the legal proceedings unfold, the outcome of this case will undoubtedly have implications for how allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct are handled within the entertainment industry and beyond.
