Kanye West's ex-assistant in hiding amid harassment lawsuit

Lauren Pisciotta, Kanye West's former assistant, has gone into hiding due to threats and harassment following the rapper's social media posts about her. Pisciotta has filed a lawsuit against West, alleging breach of contract, sexual harassment, wrongful termination, and creating a hostile work environment, with a pretrial conference scheduled for March 27. Her attorney, Lisa Bloom, stated that West's online remarks have negatively impacted her client, forcing her to leave her home and cease working. West has denied the allegations, claiming that Pisciotta is attempting to extort him, and has made derogatory comments about her on social media. Bloom has expressed her readiness to use any potential bad behavior from West during the trial against him. This case highlights the challenges faced by individuals confronting powerful figures in the entertainment industry.
