Kanye West Faces Expanded Sexual Assault Lawsuit

Kanye West, also known as Ye, faces an amended lawsuit from former assistant Lauren Pisciotta, accusing him of sexual assault, battery, sex trafficking, stalking, and creating a hostile work environment during her 2021-2022 employment. Pisciotta alleges repeated unwanted sexual advances, forced oral sex, attempted penetration, and being coerced with false promises of career advancement. The lawsuit claims West made her watch him engage in sexual acts with others and offered her as a 'sexual gift.' Additional allegations state that after her firing, West moved to Pisciotta's apartment complex, continued to harass her, and physically assaulted her. West’s legal team has denied all claims, labeled them as baseless, and indicated plans to countersue, while no criminal charges have been filed. The case has increased scrutiny of West's professional behavior.
