Kanye West's sexual assault lawsuit court date delayed again amid Tokyo stay

Kanye West is facing serious legal challenges after his former assistant, Lauren Pisciotta, filed a lawsuit in June 2024 accusing him of sexual harassment, wrongful termination, and later amended the suit to include allegations of sexual assault. Pisciotta claims that during a studio session, West drugged and raped her, while West has dismissed these allegations as baseless and has not yet engaged legal representation. The court hearing originally scheduled for January 29 has been delayed to March 27 due to difficulties in serving West, who has relocated to Tokyo and is reportedly evading the legal process. Pisciotta's legal team is now seeking permission to serve him through a newspaper notice after failing to personally deliver the court documents. West is also facing multiple other lawsuits from former employees alleging various forms of misconduct. His absence from the U.S. and the ongoing legal troubles have kept him out of the public eye in recent months.
