Kanye West is being sued for alleged sexual harassment and alleged wrongful termination by his former assistant. Lauren Pisciotta, his assistant, began working with the rapper in July 2021 as he prepared to launch his Yeezy fashion line. Upon acceptance of this job Pisciotta was reportedly offered $1 million but she claims the condition of the role was that she would be available to West 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

These accusations allegedly started after Kanye raised her pay. According to nme.com, she detailed numerous alleged incidents with West in the suit, including an instance of him allegedly masturbating while they were on the phone, allegedly asking about her partner’s penis size and allegedly forcing her “to remove her cardigan while she was in the office because he said ‘it was covering too much’”. On another occasion, she claims Ye allegedly locked the pair in a room together and allegedly masturbated next to Pisciotta before falling asleep. She also claimed that he allegedly got angry after she refused any advances to “date or have sex” with him.

The lawsuit is ongoing but his former assistant is seeking compensation for alleged breach of contract and an allegedly hostile work environment in her lawsuit. This isn’t the first instance where Kanye was accused of alleged unfair treatment of his employees. Trevor Phillips, the plaintiff in the case, is a former employee of West’s and claimed that Ye’s response to feedback was allegedly abusive and merciless. On mxdwn.com, personal threat were allegedly made to Phillips in which he claims West allegedly publicly threatened to “…punch him in the face”
