Kanye West Hit With Sanctions in Lawsuit Citing Antisemitic Tirades

Kanye West was ordered to pay a penalty and sit for a deposition in a lawsuit alleging he spewed antisemitism and threats at Donda Academy.

Kanye West got in trouble with a judge Thursday for ducking his deposition in a lawsuit alleging he subjected staff and students to bigoted rants and threats at his ill-fated Donda Academy school. In his discrimination and retaliation lawsuit filed last April, Phillips claimed Ye regularly spewed antisemitic and homophobic rhetoric when he worked at the Yeezy fashion brand and later Donda Academy between 2022 and 2023. Phillips said Ye threatened to punch him, claimed he wanted to shave the heads of Donda students and put them in a “cage,” gave preferential treatment to white staffers and appeared to masturbate in front of him while watching The Batman on mute.
