Kaney “Ye” West is being sued by his former assistant, Lauren Pisciotta, for allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting her during a studio session co-hosted by Sean “Diddy” Combs, according to California court documents.
Pisciotta had already sued the rapper in June, accusing him of sexual harassment, breach of contract and wrongful dismissal. She also sued him and his various companies for fraud, unpaid wages and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
According to the amended lawsuit, filed Oct. 8 and obtained by TMZPisciotta says she and her former artist management client, who was not named, were invited to one of the sessions at Combs' studio. Shortly after their arrival, “drinks were served to her and others present, followed by an announcement that everyone must drink if they wanted to stay,” the lawsuit alleges.
Pisciotta drank and “after a few small sips of the beverage, poured at the direction of Kanye West aka Ye by a studio assistant and then served by Kanye West, plaintiff suddenly began to feel disoriented,” according to the document.
The next day, she says she woke up and remembered almost nothing of what had happened the night before, only that she felt “immense shame and embarrassment.”
For years, West's former assistant thought she was just being ridiculed and making a fool of herself at a work event. Much later, she says the rapper would mention the night in question, tell her that “they had been dating,” according to the lawsuit, and provide details about what happened between them.
While Combs is named in the amended case file as a co-host of the event, Pisciotta is not accusing the former music mogul — who is now in prison awaiting trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges — of any wrongdoing at this time.
The Hollywood journalist contacted a representative of Kanye West.
According to the initial complaint, the OnlyFans model alleged that her former employer sexually harassed her on multiple occasions.
One of the messages he sent her reportedly said: “See, my problem is that I want to fuck, but then after I fuck I want a girl to tell me how hard they got fucked while I fuck them. Then I want them to cheats,” according to the lawsuit. In another, he allegedly wrote: “Is my dick racist? I'll look at pictures of white women with black asses and punch my racist dick.
Second Rolling StonePisciotta also claimed that the rapper was “fixated by the size of the penis” of his partners and masturbated during telephone conversations with her.
At the time, West's legal representative released a lengthy statement saying that the rapper would take legal action against his former assistant, who “actively sexually stalked him for work and other material benefits, and then engaged in blackmail and extortion when his advances were rejected.”
The statement continues, in part, “During her employment, Ms. Pisciotta offered [West] sex on his birthday to which he refused, sent [West] unsolicited nude images, stories of a sexual nature and was seen twerking in the office during working hours. On one occasion, Pisciotta bragged about how the best moment of her life was when she was ejaculated by a soccer player while simultaneously texting her boss. It is well documented that Ms. Pisciotta consistently used sexual coercion in an attempt to demand not only money but also material objects, namely Hermès Birkin bags, a Lamborghini, and an endless search for plastic surgery.
