Kanye “Ye” West Accused of Sexual Assault and Sex Trafficking by Ex-Assistant in Lawsuit
Kanye “Ye” West is facing more legal troubles.
Over a year after the “Runaway” musician was first sued by his former assistant Lauren Pisciotta for wrongful termination and sexual harassment, among other complaints, her attorneys filed a second amended complaint on July 8 with additional accusations, according to documents obtained by E! News.
Pisciotta—who worked for West for a year and a half after being hired in July 2021—accused him of a hostile work environment, assault, battery, sex trafficking, gender discrimination, stalking, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, as well as failure to prevent harassment, discrimination and retaliation.
In her filing, the 36-year-old accused West of being a “sexual abuser, sexual harasser, online bully, anti-Semite, bigot, and a misogynist who proudly boasts about being all these things.”
Her attorneys argued that the rapper had “presented a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” as his employee that Pisciotta believed would “further her ambitions and launch her career to new heights.”
