Kanye West is facing new allegations of sexual assault in an amended lawsuit filed by his former assistant.
In June 2024, Lauren Pisciotta — who worked as West’s assistant from 2021 to 2023 — sued the rapper, claiming sexual harassment, breach of contract, and wrongful termination. Soon after the lawsuit was filed, lawyers for West called the accusations “baseless” and accused Pisciotta of “blackmail and extortion.”
This week, over a year after the initial lawsuit, Pisciotta filed an amended lawsuit that included new accusations of stalking, sexual battery, sex trafficking, and false imprisonment.
“Ye subjected Ms. Pisciotta to obscene comments about her body, demanded she wear tight fitting clothing, groped her on a regular basis, forced her to watch Ye perform sexual acts with other women, sent her sexually explicit pictures and demanded she do the same, and repeatedly demanded that she join his sexual encounters, which she refused,” the lawsuit obtained by Page Six claims.
Among the allegations in Pisciotta’s amended lawsuit are that “on one occasion, Ye attempted to vaginally penetrate Ms. Pisciotta with his fingers” and that West “orally raped her without her consent.”
The lawsuit also accuses West of forcibly kissing Pisciotta, grabbing her by the throat, and offering “someone the opportunity to have sex with” Pisciotta “in exchange for allowing Ye to have sex with” that person’s significant other.
This isn’t the first time Pisciotta has amended her lawsuit: Four months after its initial filing, she added an allegation that West drugged and sexually assaulted her at a Sean Combs studio session.
