Kanye West Accused of Anti-Black Racism in Lawsuit From Ex-Employee


Kanye West has been accused of berating and humiliating a Black employee, who also alleges that he witnessed antisemitic and homophobic outbursts.

According to the complaint, his job included overseeing a project growing cotton and other crops as part of a plan to develop a self-sustaining community. According to the complaint, West demanded that the hotel staff put on “The Batman,” starring Robert Pattinson and Zoë Kravitz, and that he and Phillips watched the movie with the volume turned to zero. The suit recounts other alleged discriminatory behavior over the ensuing weeks, including a claim that West ordered a Black security guard to shave his dreadlocks or be fired.
