Kanye West Accused of Sexual Battery, Sex Trafficking by Former Assistant
Kanye West has been accused of sexual assault and sex trafficking in a new amended complaint filed by his former assistant.
Lauren Pisciotta, who started working for West (aka Ye) in 2021 as an A&R during the making of his album “Donda” and eventually became his personal assistant, previously sued the rapper for wrongful termination and sexual harassment in June 2024. Now, in a second amended complaint obtained by Variety, she has alleged that West “orally raped her without her consent” and coerced her into complying with his sexual demands by making false promises about the advancement of her career. She claims that this alleged harassment worsened after her original lawsuit was filed in June 2024, escalating to a practice called “swatting.” This included “reports of child abuse and murder” and Pisciotta was “not able to predict when and if law enforcement agencies would show up to her residence under the pretense of a false emergency,” the complaint states.
