Kanye West accused of sexual assault during Diddy studio session

Ye is facing new accusations from his former assistant, who claims he drugged and sexually assaulted her.

In an amended complaint filed in California and obtained by USA TODAY, Kanye West’s former assistant Lauren Pisciotta alleged that the rapper touched, groped, fondled, grabbed and forced himself in and on her multiple times without her consent. The latest filing came after Pisciotta previously sued Ye for sexual harassment, wrongful termination and breach of contract earlier this year.

USA TODAY has reached out to a representative for Ye for comment.

In a statement to Rolling Stone in June, a legal representative for the rapper accused Pisciotta of “blackmail and extortion,” claiming she was “fired for being unqualified, demanding unreasonable sums of money (including a $4 million annual salary) and countless documented incidents of her lustful, unhinged behavior,” adding that Pisciotta “consistently used sexual coercion in an attempt to demand not only money but also material things.”

In the filing, Pisciotta described an incident of alleged sexual abuse that she said occurred before she started working for Ye, when the rapper invited her to a studio session he co-hosted with Sean “Diddy” Combs. The complaint alleged that Pisciotta was served a drink containing an unidentified drug, which left her in a “severely impaired state.” Pisciotta said she woke up the next day with no memory of what happened.

According to the complaint, Pisciotta initially had “no reason to believe that she had been inappropriately touched or sexually assaulted,” and did not suspect Ye had drugged her. However, she claimed that years later, Ye told her that they “hooked up” that night, leading her to realize that she had been “basically drugged and sexually assaulted” by him.

“She couldn’t bear to work for the man who had sexually assaulted her against her will while she was drugged, and then successfully lured her back into his job through a job to sexually assault her again,” the complaint said, adding that Pisciotta feared Ye would retaliate against her if she spoke up.

In another incident that allegedly occurred during a business trip in July 2021, Pisciotta alleged that Ye forced his way into her hotel room and said he had to use her shower because his was not working. Once inside, the rapper reportedly approached Pisciotta, dropped his towel and “aggressively moved and pushed (Pisciotta) from the chair she was sitting in to the bed and pushed her down.” He then “attempted to forcefully push his naked body and penis into (Pisciotta’s) face” as she begged him to stop, the complaint alleged.

“(Pisciotta) was clearly unwilling, non-consenting and visually angry at Kanye West, aka Ye for the battery, gender violence and sexual assault,” the lawsuit said.

Pisciotta also accused Ye of subjecting her to “constant” sexual harassment throughout her employment, despite her making it clear she was not interested in him, and provided as evidence numerous sexually explicit text messages allegedly sent by the rapper had been shipped. Forced to dodge his “unwanted sexual advances, sexual assault, constant sexual harassment,” and the revelation that Ye had allegedly “sexually assaulted her while drugged,” Pisciotta suffered from “severe anxiety, depression and overwhelming PTSD ‘. said. Pisciotta alleged that Ye wrongfully terminated her in 2022 as “retaliation for her complaints and refusal to have sex with” him.

This was the latest legal issue for Ye, who last week faced a lawsuit from a former employee who accused him of inflicting emotional distress, labor law violations and retaliation. That lawsuit alleged that the former employee was asked to investigate Ye’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian and hire private investigators to spy on his wife Bianca Censori. It additionally alleged that Ye threatened to kill The former employeeidentified as John Doe.

“Our client is so afraid of Ye and his erratic, disturbing and unpredictable behavior that he wishes to remain anonymous for his own safety,” Doe’s attorneys said. “It is not only illegal, but unconscionable that an employer would threaten an employee with bodily harm or death.”
