Kanye West makes headlines. - A previous aide files a lawsuit against the hip-hop artist.
Kanye West, a well-known American rapper, aged 46, has found himself in hot water after being accused of sexual misconduct by his ex-assistant. Multiple reputable media sources in the United States have reported on the development in unison. The woman has alleged that the husband of reality star Kim Kardashian, 43, sent her inappropriate messages and videos.
According to the details of the legal proceedings publicized in court documents, such as "Page Six", the woman accuses Kanye West of sexual harassment but also breach of contract, wrongful termination, and creating a hostile work environment.
The former employee started working with the artist in July 2021 when he was preparing the launch of his Yeezy clothing line. She also worked on some 'Donda' songs with West. At the beginning, she was offered a million dollars for her services but had to be readily available to West for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
In her lawsuit, she narrates that she earned an additional million dollars on OnlyFans before West asked her to act "more modestly" and delete her account in 2022. In compensation, he promised to raise her salary to two million dollars a year to make up for the lost income. However, he never paid the promised amount.
Soon after, she alleges that West started sending her crude messages, as well as pornographic details of sexual acts he desired, pictures, and videos of him having sex with various women. He also demanded intimate pictures of "past and present" Yeezy employees. Moreover, he masturbated in front of her while on the phone, inquired about the penis size of her friend, and forced her to remove her sweater in the office as he believed it was too revealing.
On another occasion, she claims that he locked her in a room with him and masturbated while she was present before going to sleep. Moreover, she alleges that he grew furious when she didn't consent to "dating or having sex" with him.
In September 2022, she was promoted to lead various of West's companies and was meant to receive a salary of four million dollars. Nonetheless, she was fired just a month later without ever collecting the guaranteed three million dollar severance pay. She is now seeking reimbursement for the breach of contract and the unfriendly workplace environment.
Another ex-employee, a former security guard at West's Donda Academy, has accused him of racism. The guard alleges that West shouted at and degraded black employees and repeatedly expressed negative opinions about significant black leadership figures.
