“As Plaintiff began to enter an altered and severely debilitated state, she had less control over her body and speech and that is where Plaintiff’s memories of that night elude her,” the lawsuit continued.

It was said that Pisciotta woke up the next day “physically ill and confused” and felt “tremendous embarrassment and shame because she could not remember a single detail of her night after the first sips of her drink” that were served to her. by West, the lawsuit alleges.

It wasn’t until years later that Pisciotta said she found out she had allegedly been sexually assaulted, after West revealed they had made “assaults” during the studio session.

She then told West that she had “no recollection or recollection of that night” and “only remembered the beginning of the night when they sat down on a couch in a room full of people and took sips of the only drink he handed her.” ,” the lawsuit alleges, further stating that West laughed and said, “Women like to say they don’t remember.”

A representative for West did not immediately return a request for comment, per Rolling stone.
