Lauren Pisciotta, the adult social media star and Kanye West's former assistant from July 2021 to September 2022 has decided to sue West for ‘se**al harassment and wrongful termination’. Meanwhile, Kanye's PR team has garbaged these allegations by calling them 'baseless and 'blackmail'.
In her lawsuit, Lauren Pisciotta claimed that the rapper sent her inappropriate messages about his se**al experiences.
Lauren also claims that she and a client were invited to a studio session with Sean Combs aka Diddy, where they were told, “everybody had to drink if they wanted to stay.”
According to the lawsuit, Ye’s assistant poured the drinks, and Ye served Pisciotta, after which she felt disoriented and suspects she was drugged. She later woke up with no memory of the night, feeling “shame and embarrassment.”
Pisciotta alleges that years later, Ye mentioned they “did kind of hook up,” providing details of the incident.
When and why was Lauren Pisciotta hired by Kanye?
Lauren Pisciotta reportedly began working for Kanye West in July 2021, according to People magazine. Initially, she was involved in his Yeezy women’s fashion line and contributed to three tracks on his Donda album. Pisciotta claims that she was later offered the role of personal assistant with a salary of $1 million, with the stipulation that she remain available around the clock, seven days a week.
Lauren Pisciotta claims that after a year of working with Kanye West, he requested her to deactivate her adult social media account, offering an additional $1 million in compensation. She also stated that she was promoted to chief of staff for several of his businesses by September 2022, with a salary of $4 million. However, she alleges she was fired just a month later and did not receive the $3 million severance package that was promised to her. These claims are part of an ongoing legal dispute.
The lawsuit also includes accusations of s*x trafficking, persistent demands for s**ual relations, an incident where he allegedly forced himself on her while she was naked in a hotel room, and locking her in a bedroom on a private jet while he engaged in s**ual activities. Additionally, the lawsuit claims that Ye offered her as a s**ual "gift" to an associate.
Kanye's reaction to Lauren Pisciotta's allegations
Kanye West has described the accusations against him as "baseless" and a form of "blackmail." His legal team claims that before being dismissed, Lauren Pisciotta allegedly stole West’s phone to erase evidence that could contradict her claims.
They assert that she was fired due to being unqualified and engaging in inappropriate behavior, including sending unsolicited explicit images and inappropriate conduct at the office. They said:
“She was terminated for being unqualified, demanding unreasonable sums of money [including a US$4 million annual salary] and numerous documented incidents of her lascivious, unhinged conduct.”
West's lawyers also indicated that he intends to file a lawsuit against her. They have spun Pisciotta's narrative right back around and accused her of acting inapporopriately with Ye. They said that Lauren used to send Kanye:
“unsolicited n**e images, sexual narratives and was seen twerking in the office during business hours”
They also mentioned that Lauren Pisciotta had offered Kanye 's*x on his birthday', an offer he had turned down.
