Kanye West sued by former assistant amid sexual assault claims

Kanye West has been sued by his former assistant, who has accused him of sexual assault and other illegal acts. This is not the first serious allegation the rapper has faced, as he has long been involved in controversial behaviour.

Kanye West is among the most famous American rappers, having won as many as 24 Grammy Awards. Moreover, his albums have earned at least platinum status in the USA. West is also a music producer and owner of the record label GOOD Music. Additionally, he designs clothing and, in 2020, even ran for president of the United States. His fame stems not only from his musical achievements but also from his anti-Semitic views. He has made numerous hateful speeches, leading some companies that had collaborated with him to disassociate from him.

Kanye West, unfortunately, has long been unable to boast a good reputation. Despite his impressive artistic successes, he often engages in controversial behaviour. Some time ago, foreign media buzzed about a speech by the rapper in which he expressed approval for Adolf Hitler. On another occasion, he spoke negatively about Jews, even threatening them.

Lauren Pisciotta is Kanye West's former assistant. When she started working with the rapper, she was a star on the blue platform for adults. Additionally, she helped him create several songs from the album "Donda" and managed his clothing company. When West started sending her disturbing messages, he appointed her head of several important departments.

More accusations have surfaced about the artist. West's former assistant sued him, claiming that the rapper unjustifiably fired her. The situation was further exacerbated by the employer not transferring her about £2 million, despite the contract clearly requiring it. The woman accused him of harassment, illegal termination, breach of contract terms, and creating an inappropriate work environment.
