Kanye West Hit With New Lawsuit Alleging Hostile Workplace, Unpaid Wages

Kanye West and his Yeezy company have been accused of creating a hostile workplace and unpaid wages in a new lawsuit from ex-staff, including minors.

Kanye West and his Yeezy company have been accused of mistreating several staff members — including bullying and not paying a number of them while they worked on developing a streaming app earlier this year — in a new lawsuit filed Saturday, The Washington Post reports. Yiannopolous responded to Rolling Stone’s request for comment with links to two of his posts on X, formerly Twitter, where he denied the allegations, calling the filing a “joke lawsuit.” Of the hiring minors claim, he wrote, “The company has signed releases from and contractor agreements with every contributor to every closed and every open source project, including parents or guardians where appropriate,” and added: “Yeezy Porn doesn’t exist, so could not have been shown to anyone.” West said he would countersue, with a statement from his legal representative calling Pisciotta’s claims “baseless” and accused her of engaging in “blackmail and extortion” after he rejected her sexual advances.
