Ye’s Former Assistant Accuses Him of Drugging and Sexual Assault in Amended Lawsuit

Ye’s Former Assistant Accuses Him of Drugging and Sexual Assault in Amended Lawsuit

Kanye West, known in the music industry as Ye, is facing new allegations from his former assistant, Lauren Pisciotta, who claims he drugged and sexually assaulted her. Pisciotta, who previously sued the rapper for sexual harassment, wrongful termination, and breach of contract, has filed an amended complaint in California, according to documents obtained by USA TODAY.

In the filing, Pisciotta accuses Ye of engaging in multiple instances of sexual misconduct, claiming that he "touched, groped, fondled, grabbed and forced himself in and on" her without her consent. She further asserts that these alleged incidents began even before her formal employment with Ye. Pisciotta recounts one such instance in which she says the rapper invited her to a studio session he co-hosted with Sean “Diddy” Combs. During this event, Pisciotta alleges that she was given a drink laced with an unknown drug, which left her “heavily impaired.” According to her complaint, she awoke the following day with no memory of what had happened. Initially, Pisciotta says she did not suspect anything inappropriate occurred until years later, when Ye referenced the night, mentioning that they “hooked up.” This conversation led her to conclude she had been drugged and assaulted by him that evening.

A representative for Ye, in a previous statement to *Rolling Stone*, refuted the allegations, describing Pisciotta’s claims as “blackmail and extortion.” The statement claimed she was “terminated for being unqualified, demanding unreasonable sums of money (including a $4 million annual salary),” and engaging in “lascivious, unhinged conduct.” Ye's legal team further accused Pisciotta of attempting to use “sexual coercion” to extract money and material items from him.

The amended complaint goes on to describe an alleged incident in July 2021 while Pisciotta was on a work trip with Ye. According to Pisciotta, Ye showed up at her hotel room, claiming he needed to use her shower because his was not working. Once inside, she alleges, he dropped his towel and attempted to force himself on her. She says he pushed her onto the bed and attempted to “forcefully thrust his naked body” onto her, despite her visible distress and repeated pleas for him to stop. The complaint states, “(Pisciotta) was very clearly unwilling, non-consenting and visually upset at Kanye West a.k.a Ye for the battery, gender violence and sexual assault.”

Throughout her time working for Ye, Pisciotta alleges that she endured “constant” sexual harassment, noting that she had expressed her lack of interest in a relationship with him. The complaint claims she received numerous sexually explicit text messages from the rapper, which she has provided as evidence. Pisciotta states that this continued harassment, combined with the alleged assault, left her suffering from “severe anxiety, depression, and overwhelming PTSD.” According to her, Ye eventually fired her in 2022 as retaliation for her complaints and refusal to engage in sexual activities with him.

This lawsuit represents one of several legal challenges Ye currently faces. Just last week, a former employee, identified as “John Doe,” filed a lawsuit against the rapper, alleging infliction of emotional distress, labor code violations, and retaliation. Doe claims that Ye asked him to investigate his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, and hired private investigators to monitor his current spouse, Bianca Censori. The lawsuit further alleges that Ye threatened to kill Doe. Doe’s attorneys commented on his decision to remain anonymous, stating, “Our client is so fearful of Ye and his erratic, disturbing, and unpredictable behavior that he wishes to remain anonymous for his own safety.”

The allegations against Ye continue to grow as his former employees bring forward accusations of sexual assault, harassment, and violent threats, raising questions about the behavior of one of the music industry’s most controversial figures.

Jay-Z Denies Rape Allegation in Amended Lawsuit Naming Him and Sean "Diddy" Combs

Jay-Z Denies Rape Allegation in Amended Lawsuit Naming Him and Sean "Diddy" Combs

Jay-Z, the iconic rapper and entrepreneur, has strongly denied allegations in an amended lawsuit claiming that he, along with Sean "Diddy" Combs, drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl at a party in 2000. The lawsuit, filed under New York's Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act, alleges the assault took place at a party following the MTV Video Music Awards in New York. The accuser, identified as "Jane Doe," alleges she was lured to the party under false pretenses. According to the lawsuit, Jane Doe was dropped off at Radio City Music Hall by a friend and later driven to a private party at a white house by a limousine driver employed by Mr. Combs. At the party, she alleges she was drugged and assaulted. Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, dismissed the allegations in a public statement, calling them a "blackmail attempt." He addressed the attorney representing the plaintiff, Tony Buzbee, saying: "My lawyer received a blackmail attempt, called a demand letter, from a 'lawyer' named Tony Buzbee. What he had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle. No sir, it had the opposite effect! It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion. So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!!" Carter added, "The allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you (Tony Buzbee) file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!! Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree?" Carter also expressed concern about the impact on his family, saying: "My only heartbreak is for my family. My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims, and explain the cruelty and greed of people." Mr. Combs, who faces unrelated sex-trafficking charges and is currently in jail awaiting trial, denied the allegations through his legal team. A statement from his representatives called the lawsuit "the latest in a series of shameless publicity stunts, designed to extract payments from celebrities who fear having lies spread about them, just as lies have been spread about Mr. Combs." The statement emphasized that Mr. Combs is confident in the judicial process and believes it will prove his innocence. Combs is currently facing 30 additional lawsuits, many alleging sexual assault or harassment. The lawsuit describes a chilling series of events in 2000. Jane Doe claims she was approached outside the VMAs by a limousine driver who said she "fit what Diddy was looking for." She alleges she was taken to a party where she observed widespread drug use and was served a drink that made her feel disoriented. According to the lawsuit, Jane Doe went into a room to lie down and was later joined by Mr. Combs, Mr. Carter, and an unnamed female celebrity. The lawsuit alleges that both men sexually assaulted her while the female celebrity watched. Jane Doe claims she fought back and eventually escaped when Mr. Combs paused in surprise. The lawsuit also states that Jane Doe continues to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder and depression as a result of the alleged assault. She is seeking unspecified damages. Tony Buzbee, the Texas-based attorney representing Jane Doe, has faced criticism from both Carter and Combs. In response, he posted on social media, sharing a picture of himself in military uniform with a caption stating, "I also won't allow anyone to scare my clients into silence. Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and I am quite certain the sun is coming." Buzbee has been involved in several high-profile cases in recent months, many involving allegations against celebrities. Critics have questioned his approach, but Buzbee remains adamant about seeking justice for his clients. As the case moves forward, it highlights the challenges survivors face when bringing allegations against powerful figures. The legal process will determine the validity of the claims, but for now, the public attention underscores the broader discussions about accountability and the treatment of survivors in high-profile cases.

Diddy’s Lawyers Accuse Prosecutors of Spying on Jail Communications

Diddy’s Lawyers Accuse Prosecutors of Spying on Jail Communications

Sean "Diddy" Combs’ legal team has filed a new motion accusing federal prosecutors of spying on the music mogul during his detention at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn. Combs, who is facing charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution, has been in custody since his September arrest. “The evidence shows the government is using Mr. Combs’ detention to spy on him and invade his confidential communications with his counsel,” the defense alleged in court filings obtained by PEOPLE. The motion highlights a recent jail sweep during which a federal investigator allegedly photographed Combs’ handwritten notes containing privileged information and shared them with prosecutors. The defense contends this action is an unconstitutional violation of Combs’ Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendment rights. “This disturbing conduct is a blatant violation of Mr. Combs’ rights,” the filing reads. “Prosecutors say the search was motivated by security concerns at MDC, but that is a false pretext.” Combs' lawyers argue these actions compromise his ability to prepare for his trial, scheduled for May 2025. “Mr. Combs cannot possibly receive a fair trial if he is not permitted to confer privately and confidentially with his counsel and others working at their direction, and to take and keep notes of his trial preparation,” the defense added. Combs’ legal team further claims that the government and prison staff are engaging in “unfair and unconstitutional tactics” by closely monitoring all of his communications, including those with his attorneys. They argue that such restrictions are “unique to his case” and “not required of any other inmate” on his unit. To address these concerns, Diddy’s lawyers have requested access to a laptop for trial preparation. They criticized proposed restrictions on its use as having “no justification.” In November, the defense also accused the government of fueling “online conspiracy theories” through out-of-court statements from potential witnesses and their representatives, arguing that this undermines Combs’ ability to receive a fair trial. Despite ruling that evidence obtained from the jail sweep could not be used at a November bail hearing, Judge Arun Subramanian denied Combs bail for the third time. The judge cited a “serious risk of witness tampering” as the basis for his decision. As the trial date looms, Combs remains behind bars, with his lawyers continuing to push for better conditions to ensure his ability to mount an effective defense. The legal team maintains that the alleged actions of prosecutors and prison officials are obstructing justice. Diddy’s trial is set to begin in May 2025, with his defense calling for accountability and adherence to constitutional rights throughout the legal process. #DiddyTrial #LegalRights #FederalCase #SeanCombs #MusicMogul Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
