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.

Diddy Accused of Using Prison Calls to Corrupt Witness Testimony: Prosecutors Speak Out

Diddy Accused of Using Prison Calls to Corrupt Witness Testimony: Prosecutors Speak Out

Sean "Diddy" Combs, the music mogul currently facing serious sex trafficking charges, is alleged to have broken prison rules by contacting potential witnesses through unauthorized communication methods. Prosecutors claim that Diddy, detained in Manhattan, has made “relentless efforts” to “corruptly influence witness testimony,” using other inmates' phone accounts and arranging three-way calls to speak with people not on his approved list. These allegations have brought the high-profile case into the spotlight, further intensifying the legal drama surrounding the star. Prosecutors have detailed a coordinated scheme in which Diddy allegedly instructed his family to reach out to potential witnesses on his behalf. According to a court filing, these instructions were captured in recorded calls, raising concerns about the extent of his influence even while behind bars. The prosecution has emphasized that the communications strategy Diddy is accused of orchestrating was sophisticated, allegedly designed to bypass prison monitoring systems and taint testimonies. In addition to influencing potential witnesses, Diddy is also accused of manipulating social media narratives. Prosecutors cite a specific incident involving an Instagram post from a woman referred to as “witness two,” which aimed to counter accusations made by singer Dawn Richard in a civil lawsuit against the star. According to the claims, this social media statement was drafted through “multiple texts” and “multiple calls” from Diddy while in custody. Prosecutors allege that the communication efforts were carefully planned, even suggesting that there was a “strong inference” of Diddy paying witness two after the statement was posted. Adding to the complexity of the case, Diddy’s defense team has proposed a significant bail package worth fifty million dollars, a measure they argue is necessary to ensure he can properly prepare for trial. The package would include round-the-clock security monitoring and house arrest, but multiple judges have denied previous bail requests, citing concerns that Diddy might tamper with witnesses. Prosecutors maintain that no set of bail conditions could mitigate the potential risks he poses, given his history of influence. In court documents, prosecutors have gone further, painting Diddy as a figure with an “uncanny ability” to get others to do his bidding. They argue that this influence extends to his family, employees, and even fellow inmates. “The defendant has demonstrated an uncanny ability to get others to do his bidding—employees, family members, and [prison] inmates alike,” prosecutors claimed, adding, “There is no reason to believe that private security personnel would be immune.” This characterization has become central to the prosecution’s argument against his release. Diddy’s defense team, led by lawyer Alexandra Shapiro, has pushed back against the allegations, emphasizing the harsh conditions at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Shapiro argues that these conditions have left Diddy with little opportunity to adequately prepare for his trial, pointing out that frequent lockdowns and the confiscation of pens he needs for note-taking have made it impossible for him to review the “incredibly voluminous” case materials. “Detention is stripping Diddy of ‘any real opportunity’ to be ready for trial,” Shapiro contended, claiming that his constitutional rights are being violated. The defense’s argument, however, has not convinced prosecutors, who remain adamant that the risk of witness tampering is too high. They have also dismissed criticisms of the jail conditions, noting an interview in which one of Diddy’s lawyers described the most challenging aspect of his incarceration as the food. Prosecutors insist that the potential danger he poses to the proceedings outweighs any discomfort he may experience in jail. Despite the defense’s claims of unfair treatment and the logistical challenges of preparing for trial, the allegations continue to focus on Diddy’s alleged attempts to influence witnesses from within the detention center. This unfolding saga pits a superstar’s legal battle against the power of the justice system, and as the trial date approaches, all eyes remain on how these complex accusations and defenses will play out.
