Kanye West sued for sexual harassment by former assistant

Lauren Pisciotta says she is owed $3m after enduring intentional infliction of emotional distress

Kanye West and his Yeezy sneaker business are being sued for sexual harassment, breach of contract and wrongful termination by a former assistant of the rap star who claims she is owed $3m after enduring intentional infliction of emotional distress. In the complaint, Pisciotta alleges she had worked in the music industry for 15 years, collaborated with West on season one of his Yeezy women’s fashion line, and contributed to three songs on his Donda album. Last year, former employees of his Yeezy fashion line told Rolling Stone he played pornographic films during staff meetings and showed an intimate photograph of Kim Kardashian, his former wife.
