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’s 55th Birthday in Jail: What’s on His Menu?

Diddy’s 55th Birthday in Jail: What’s on His Menu?

Sean "Diddy" Combs, a well-known figure in the music industry, is marking his 55th birthday behind bars at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center. Facing serious charges, including racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution, Combs has pleaded not guilty but remains in custody after being denied bail. His trial date is currently set for May 5, 2025. Combs’ birthday, typically a celebration marked by lavish parties, will be a stark contrast this year. According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons' standard menu, breakfast at the Metropolitan Detention Center, served at 6 a.m., includes a simple selection of fruit, oatmeal, whole wheat bread, biscuits, oven-brown potatoes, and spreads like jelly and margarine. Inmates can also enjoy “breakfast cake,” a daily item on the menu, though not specific to birthdays. Coffee is only available on weekends, so Combs won’t have it on his birthday. Options like pancakes and French toast are also served, but only on Wednesdays and Fridays, respectively. Lunch, which begins at 11 a.m., offers a variety of items, with the main course on Mondays featuring options like Southwest chicken wraps, chicken tacos, cheese pizza, or three-bean chili. Sides include green beans, rice, salsa, or coleslaw, and the meal comes with fruit. Dessert is offered on some days, but Monday is not one of them, meaning Combs’ birthday meal will be devoid of any sweet treats. The final meal of the day, dinner, follows a 4 p.m. headcount. Monday's dinner choices include options such as turkey roast with rice, green peas, and gravy, or chicken or tofu fried rice with black beans and carrots. Like lunch, dessert is not typically served with dinner on Mondays. If Combs has funds in his commissary account, he can purchase items for an upgrade from the standard menu. Popular snacks available to inmates include Nutella, Snickers, macaroni and cheese, and hot chocolate. Marc Agnifilo, Combs’ attorney, previously noted that food has been one of the more difficult aspects of his life in custody. “I think the food’s probably the roughest part of it,” Agnifilo remarked after a recent status conference at a federal courthouse in Manhattan, underscoring the challenges Combs faces adjusting to his new environment. In the months ahead, Combs will continue his stay in Brooklyn’s detention facility as he awaits his May 2025 trial, a major event that has drawn attention nationwide.
