Jenn An Sues Kanye West for Sexual Assault

Kanye West is facing a lawsuit from former America's Next Top Model contestant, Jenn An, who alleges sexual assault during the filming of La Roux's 'In for the Kill' music video in 2010 at the Chelsea Hotel, New York. An claims that West selected her specifically and subjected her to 'pornographic gagging' and strangulation, claiming it was 'art' akin to Picasso. The lawsuit accuses West of choking her until she blacked out and alleges the incident was filmed under the guise of art. An is seeking compensatory and punitive damages, citing emotional, physical, and reputational harm. Universal Music Group is also named in the suit for allegedly enabling West's behavior by not intervening. The case highlights broader accusations against the music industry for tolerating harassment of women in favor of profitability.
