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 Mom | Her Delusional View Of Diddy

Diddy's Mom | Her Delusional View Of Diddy

Why is Diddy's legal team using his mom to push a narrative that feels more like a PR stunt than a genuine defense? In a move that left many scratching their heads, Diddy's attorneys released a letter from his mother, where she claims he's the target of a public lynching. But did his mom really write this, or is this just a desperate attempt by Diddy's camp to shift public opinion? In this episode, Tony Brueski and former prosecutor Eric Faddis dive into this bizarre situation, questioning the decision to have his mom publicly defend him. Is this really the best strategy, or does it reek of desperation? From wild accusations against the FBI to painting himself as the victim, the conversation uncovers the chaotic and increasingly unhinged attempts to sway public perception. What will Diddy’s team come up with next, and does any of it actually help his case? Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Diddy's Mom Seems To Be Ready To Go Down With The Ship

Diddy's Mom Seems To Be Ready To Go Down With The Ship

Can a mother’s love really be that blind? Jennifer Coffindaffer dives into the latest on Diddy’s mother’s response to the explosive allegations facing her son. Through his attorneys, Diddy’s mom released a statement defending him, calling it all a “public lynching,” and standing by him despite the disturbing accusations. But was this statement truly her own? Or is Diddy controlling the narrative, even through his own family? Coffindaffer questions the optics of this family unity, especially when it comes with flashy courtroom fashion choices that seem more suited for the VMAs. She dissects the surreal, almost bizarre justifications put forward by the defense, painting Diddy’s alleged actions as consensual escapades. But could Diddy’s mom genuinely be unaware of the alleged hedonism that’s been tied to his name, or is she willingly turning a blind eye for the sake of loyalty, fame, and the benefits that come with it? Are we witnessing a mother’s unwavering support, or is this a case of “see no evil” when it’s most convenient? #Diddy #TrueCrime #JenniferCoffindaffer #HiddenKillers #Cassie #FamilyLoyalty #PublicLynching Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Sean 'Diddy' Combs Sued for Rape, Assault, and Retaliation Over Tupac Shakur Comments

Sean 'Diddy' Combs Sued for Rape, Assault, and Retaliation Over Tupac Shakur Comments

In a lawsuit filed in California, Ashley Parham alleges that Sean "Diddy" Combs violently assaulted and raped her as "payback" for remarks suggesting he was involved in the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur. Parham, who filed the lawsuit in Contra Costa County, says that Combs also threatened her life, vowing she would suffer for her comments about the rapper's unsolved death. Parham's claims against Combs outline a harrowing chain of events that allegedly began in 2018. According to legal documents, she crossed paths with a friend of Combs at a bar, where he attempted to impress patrons by video-calling the music mogul. When Parham declined to join the call, reportedly stating she believed Combs "had something to do with the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur," Combs overheard the remark. She claims he responded with a warning, saying she would "pay" for her words. The lawsuit details that approximately one month later, Parham was invited by this same friend to his home under the pretense of needing help with cancer medications. While there, Parham alleges that Combs arrived unexpectedly, approached her, and pressed a knife to her face, threatening to cut her with a "Glasgow smile" in retribution for her comments. According to the lawsuit, Combs then proceeded to assault her by tearing off her clothes and "violently" raping her with a television remote. During this ordeal, Parham claims that Combs made it clear that her life was "in his hands" and that, should he choose, she "would never be seen again." According to the court filing, Combs then permitted other individuals present at the scene to rape her repeatedly. Parham further alleges that when she attempted to escape, Combs offered her money in exchange for claiming that the assault had been consensual. At that point, she managed to flee to a neighboring house, where residents, alarmed by gunshots, had already contacted police. The lawsuit states that Parham made multiple attempts to report the gang rape to authorities, including the Contra Costa Sheriff’s Department and hospital staff, but asserts that no investigation followed. In her legal action, Parham seeks justice on multiple grounds, including charges of sexual assault, battery, abuse, false imprisonment, and kidnapping. She is demanding a jury trial. This recent filing adds to a growing list of legal challenges faced by Combs, who is now held in a New York detention center on unrelated federal charges of racketeering and sex trafficking. Combs has consistently denied all allegations of sexual assault. His attorneys maintain that previous claims are attempts to "garner publicity" and "money grabs." In response to the series of lawsuits, including claims filed in New York alleging that he molested a minor, Combs’ legal team filed a motion calling for the release of his accusers' identities, asserting that the flood of anonymous accusations has "irreparably damaged" his reputation. Combs' attorneys have additionally requested his release on bail, citing what they describe as "horrific" conditions in Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center. Prosecutors, however, oppose bail, contending that Combs poses a risk of witness intimidation. As his upcoming trial looms, Combs has taken to social media, recently posting an Instagram message from jail. His legal team continues to emphasize his stance of denial and cites the volume of accusations as contributing to an "unfair media frenzy." They argue that the surge of allegations against Combs is undermining his chance for a fair trial. With the addition of Parham's lawsuit, Combs now faces a complex web of accusations that threatens to shadow his career and legacy. Parham's suit underscores a broader narrative of alleged abuse by Combs that spans years and multiple states, as his legal battles continue to unfold. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
