Kanye West\u2019s former assistant, Lauren Pisciotta, is suing him for sexual harassment by sending her sexually explicit content and engaging in sex acts while on the phone with her. According to Pisciotta, West also owes her a severance package of $3,000,000 after she was fired in 2022, which he never paid. The lawsuit was filed on June 3, 2024, as verified by TMZ and later confirmed by Rolling Stone, US Weekly, and The Wrap.<\/p>\n

Pisciotta claims that she met West in 2021, when she was active on OnlyFans, which was her primary source of income. She was hired to work on the rapper\u2019s Yeezy fashion line and collaborated on several tracks on the Donda album. Eventually, West hired her to be his personal assistant for an annual salary of $1,000,000, with the condition that she was available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. <\/p>\n

Initially, Pisciotta says West was fine with her continuing her side business on OnlyFans, but in 2022, he offered her ,000,000 to delete her account, as he wanted her to be \u201cGod-like.\u201d Upon shutting down her account, the ex-assistant alleged that West bombarded her with text messages of a sexual<\/a> nature, some of them including porn video clips. Furthermore, she said West masturbated while talking to her on the phone and touched himself in front of her after \u201ctrapping\u201d her in a room on his private plane. <\/p>\n

Though she was promoted to West\u2019s Chief of Staff in September 2022, she was fired shortly after, according to the lawsuit. Pisciotta is suing West and the Yeezy brand for wrongful termination, breach of contract (unpaid severance of $3,000,000), back wages, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and sexual harassment. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s unlikely that Pisciotta is the first and only staff member who was subjected to lewd and harassing behavior by Kanye West. Unfortunately, this type of abuse is very common in the music and fashion industry, and many people are afraid to come forward because their job is on the line. But as we\u2019ve seen from last year\u2019s lawsuit filed against Lizzo, the mental scars of sexual harassment don\u2019t go away without acknowledging what happened and taking the necessary steps toward healing. For many victims, that includes filing a sexual abuse lawsuit and seeking compensation<\/a> for monetary losses and emotional trauma. <\/p>\n

Kanye West\u2019s History of Lewd Behavior<\/span>\n

West has an extensive history of inappropriate behavior toward his staff members, including \u201coversharing\u201d of sexually explicit material that makes people uncomfortable. For example, multiple Yeezy employees told Rolling Stone that West showed them an intimate photo of his then-wife, Kim Kardashian, during job interviews. <\/p>\n

They also allege that he showed pornographic films at staff meetings, and West himself has admitted to a \u201cfull on pornography addiction\u201d in the past. In an interview with Apple Music\u2019s Zane Lowe, he said, \u201cFor me, Playboy was my gateway into full-on pornography addiction. My dad had a Playboy left out at age five and it\u2019s affected almost every choice I made for the rest of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aside from the lawsuit by Pisciotta, West has been sued by other employees, including a former security guard at his private school<\/a>, Donda Academy. The claimant, Benjamin Deshon Provo, alleged that West discriminated against him because he was Muslim and due to his refusal to cut his dreadlocks. <\/p>\n

We believe it\u2019s only a matter of time before other victims come forward and seek justice for sexual harassment and other abusive treatment from Kanye West. If you are one of these individuals, please contact our law firm and ask to speak with an employment rights lawsuit attorney that specializes in sexual harassment. <\/p>\nValue of a Lawsuit for Sexual Abuse by an Employer<\/span>\n
