American rapper Kanye 'Ye' West has found himself in a fresh set of controversy as his former assistant has accused him of drugging and sexually assaulting her at a recording session co-hosted with Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who is indicted of sex trafficking. Lauren Pisciotta reportedly worked with Ye from 2021 to 2022 and recently filed an 88-page lawsuit accusing him of numerous shocking sex crimes against her and many other survivors.
"Sexual Battery, Trafficking": Ex-Assistant's Claims
Lauren Pisciotta stated in her lawsuit that during a recording session with Diddy in Santa Monica, California, Ye laced her drink and sexually assaulted her. She also alleged that the rapper used high-profile connections to traffic women into the US for sex, The Daily Mail reported. The women were given work visas and 'obscure job titles' at his companies and had them sign NDAs about their experiences, the report said.
Pisciotta claimed that Ye was 'brazenly open' with her and other staff about the 'trafficking' and even gave 'grotesque details' and always filmed it so they could 'get the full picture'. She also said he “offered up” his sexual partners, trafficked women, and employees (including her) as “gifts” to his friends. She said that he also sent her explicit texts, pornographic photos, and videos before firing her.
In another shocking allegation, the lawsuit claimed that Ye had a 'kink' for wanting to have sex with the mothers of his sexual partners. In September 2022, he sent Pisciotta a screenshot of a text conversation between him and his wife Bianca Censori that read, "I wanna f*** your mum. Before she leaves.” He then allegedly asked Pisciotta, “Should I add that I meant I want you to watch me f*** your mom?"
Parents-In-Law's Allegations
Bianca Censori's mother Alexandra requested privacy amid the mounting allegations against him. However, on October 14, Ye's mother-in-law briefly broke her silence about allegations of the disturbing messages the rapper wrote about her. While grocery shopping in Melbourne, she "made it clear“ to the Daily Mail Australia paparazzi that she “wouldn’t be drawn into the latest claims."
In February 2024, Censori's parents alleged that Ye encouraged their daughter to dress in revealing clothing and paraded her like a "trashy naked trophy pony." Ye's father-in-law Leo told the Daily Mail he wanted to have a serious talk with the rapper about what ‘he would do if his daughters, North or Chicago, were seen in public half-naked in outfits encouraged by their husbands’.
Ex-Partner Julia Fox Talks About “Uncomfortable” Relationship With Ye
Ye's former girlfriend Julia Fox recently broke her silence amid these terrifying allegations against the rapper. In a conversation with The Times, she disclosed, “I regret that relationship so much. I hate it! It was only a few weeks, but enough to last me a lifetime. I was in probably the most uncomfortable position in my life, and that speaks a lot. I don’t want to be known for being anyone’s girlfriend.”
Fox also alleged that Ye used her as a “pawn” and that their relationship only came to an end when she refused to sign his non-disclosure agreement. In her memoir, Down the Drain, Fox reveals numerous untold stories about her brief relationship with the rapper, including his ideas on how he wished to transform her wardrobe choices. She added that she had not been in contact with him since the split.
Allegations Of Leaking Partners' Nudes
In April 2024, Ye was accused of exposing nude pictures of his sex partners to his employees without those partners' consent. Trevor Philips, an ex-employee of his brand Yeezy and school Donda Academy accused the star of inappropriate sexual remarks and lewd behaviour in the new lawsuit filed.
Philis sued Ye for wrongfully terminating him in May 2021 and made some serious allegations against the rapper claiming him to be involved in Anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, as well as revealing some of the lewd and sexually inappropriate behaviour and comments made by the singer in front of his employees.
The lawsuit alleged that Ye had shown naked pictures of his sexual partners to his employees during a meeting at Nobu Hotel in Malibu, California, and simulated sexual activity in front of Philips making inappropriate comments: "I used to have orgies every day – at least two-to-three girls. And now, man, I can’t even lay down without jacking off (slang for masturbation)."
The lawsuit then continued accusing Ye of flashing naked photos of a female friend to his employees before Face-timing the woman that Philips knew as she visited the Yeezy headquarters a few weeks ago. Philips claimed Ye has been exposing nude photos of his sexual partners and female friends without their consent. In the lawsuit, Philips claimed the 46-year-old rapper for making lewd gestures in the working space in front of employees including him.
