Ye’s Ex-Assistant Adds Rape and Sex-Trafficking Claims to Harassment Lawsuit


Kanye West's ex-assistant and and chief of staff added rape and sex-trafficking claims to her harassment lawsuit against the disgraced rapper.

The new allegations came in an amended complaint submitted Wednesday (July 9) by Lauren Pisciotta, who sued Ye last year for sexual harassment and other workplace violations. Previous iterations of Pisciotta’s lawsuit claimed Ye regularly masturbated in front of her, sent her explicit texts and photos, groped her and once attempted to force his penis into her mouth. Wednesday’s amended complaint for the first time uses the word “rape” to describe the last incident, which allegedly occurred in a San Francisco hotel during writing sessions for Ye’s album Donda in 2021.
