Kanye West's legal issues are escalating, with former assistant Lauren Pisciotta filing a wrongful termination and sexual harassment lawsuit against him. Pisciotta claims that West mistreated her and sent her lewd SMS. West has not addressed the accusations in public yet. Pisciotta had a variety of jobs in the music business for fifteen years, contributing to West's 2021 album Donda and enlisting her as a creative partner for his women's fashion line, Yeezy Season 1. She claimed to have earned $1 million from social media postings and OnlyFans content creation in the previous year.
In August 2022, West requested that she erase her OnlyFans account in a "God-like" manner and agreed to give her $1 million. Pisciotta said he began pestering her sexually and never paid her. She said he would text her inappropriate messages and act erratically while they were on the phone. She also said he sent explicit films of himself via SMS.
Pisciotta claimed that West had a "obsession" with her, having moved into her building and been "stalking" her since her "wrongful termination." She did not welcome or encourage these offensive acts, texts, videos, and statements. She is suing for a minimum of $4 million, claiming a hostile work environment and breach in addition.
