Kanye West faces lawsuit from ex‑assistant over sexual assault allegations

Kanye West has been sued by his former assistant. The woman accused him of sexual assault and other illegal acts. This is not the first serious allegation the rapper has faced. He has long been involved in controversial behaviours.

Kanye West is one of the most famous American rappers. He has won as many as 24 Grammy Awards. Moreover, each of his albums has earned at least platinum status in the U.S. West is also a music producer and the owner of the record label GOOD Music. Additionally, he designs clothing, and in 2020, he ran for president of the United States. His fame not only stems from his musical achievements. The artist is also known for his anti-Semitic views. He has made many hateful speeches, which have led some companies to distance themselves from him.

Kanye West has long been unable to boast a good reputation. Despite his impressive artistic successes, he often engages in controversial behaviour. Some time ago, international media buzzed about a speech by the rapper in which he expressed approval for Adolf Hitler. On another occasion, he made negative remarks about Jews, even threatening them.

Lauren Pisciotta is Kanye West's former assistant. When she began working with the rapper, she was a star on an adult platform. Additionally, she helped him create several songs from the album "Donda" and managed his clothing company. When the artist sent disturbing messages, he appointed her head of several important departments.

More allegations have surfaced about the artist. West's former assistant sued him, claiming the rapper unjustifiably fired her. The situation worsened because the employer did not transfer her 3 million Canadian dollars, despite the contract requiring it. The woman has accused him of harassment, illegal termination, breach of contract terms, and creating an inappropriate work environment.
