According to nme.com, Kanye West has been sued for alleged discrimination by former Yeezy employee and he is accused of allegedly texting “Hail Hitler” to a Jewish staff member. The woman who filed the lawsuit allegedly worked as a marketing specialist at West’s fashion brand, according to documents obtained by TMZ. She claimed that she was allegedly fired from her role after standing up to the rapper’s alleged anti-Semitic rhetoric in the workplace.
In the suit, the former employee alleged that the artist had allegedly reached out to her and another Jewish staffer in a group chat and allegedly wrote: “Welcome to the first day of working for Hitler.” Also, she claimed that West allegedly sent her a text message that allegedly read: “I Am A NAZI.”
West also allegedly told the woman to “cut the bullshit” and “fuck out of here” in one conversation. She claimed West allegedly called her a “heartless sociopath” too and allegedly told her to “shut the fuck up, bitch.” In a statement, the woman’s lawyer Carney Shegerian allegedly claimed that “Ye waged a relentless and deliberate campaign of anti-Semitism and misogyny against [her.]”
The statement continues with: “His appalling treatment of women and fixation on Nazism, evident in abusive texts where he repeatedly calls himself Hitler, expose his motives. We need to stop excusing Ye’s behavior. As a father, husband and employer, he must be held accountable. Ye dared my client to sue and we will see him in court.”
