Popular musician Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has recently been faced with a lawsuit from his former assistant for various allegations. The lawsuit claims that Ye created a hostile work environment through sexual harassment, breach of contract, and wrongful termination. According to Page Six, the "Late Registration" rapper allegedly boasted about a three-hour sexual encounter with a well-known celebrity, fueled by Viagra.
The lawsuit, brought forth by Lauren Pisciotta, states that during her time as Ye's assistant, she received sexually explicit texts and videos from the fashion designer. Pisciotta also claims that she was fired shortly after. In one of the messages, Ye allegedly wrote, "One time I took Viagra and spent three hours in the bedroom with [A-list celebrity]. I'm not sure why that thought came to me." Additionally, another text from Ye mentioned a scenario at a bowling alley where he could have been arrested for having sex with Pisciotta on the floor.
According to the paperwork, "This text was extremely offensive as it implied that the plaintiff wanted to engage in sexual activity with the defendant, when in reality, she did not and never has." Pisciotta also alleges that Ye sent her video clips of a sexual nature, including one where he was seen having sex with an employee from his fashion company, Yeezy. Another clip allegedly showed a model performing oral sex on him.
The Washington Post reported that Ye's publicist released a statement denying the allegations. According to the statement, "Ye will be filing a lawsuit against Ms. Pisciotta, who actively pursued him sexually for personal gain and then attempted to blackmail and extort him when he rejected her advances."
The case will have its first hearing on October 1 at the Los Angeles Superior Courthouse. This lawsuit is not the first time Ye has faced legal trouble, as he has previously been sued for discrimination against Black employees. It remains to be seen how this case will unfold and the outcome it will have on Ye's career and reputation.
