14 Oct - Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has been sued by his former assistant and OnlyFans model Lauren Pisciotta of sexual assault. According to California court documents, Pisciotta filed the lawsuit on 8 October, accusing the rapper, real name Kanye Omari West, of drugging and sexually assaulting her during a past studio session hosted by Sean "Diddy" Combs. She said that she and others who were in attendance were served with drinks and were told that everybody had to drink if they wanted to stay.
Pisciotta alleged that she started to feel disoriented after drinking a few small sips of the beverage that was poured by a studio assistant at the direction of Ye. She said that she woke up the next day and remembered almost nothing except the feeling of "immense shame and embarrassment." Pisciotta said that she didn't exactly know what had happened until much later, when the rapper allegedly told her that they "kind of hook up". The latest allegations were added into an existing legal dispute filed by Pisciotta in June, accusing Ye of sexual harassment, wrongful termination, breach of contract, fraud, and unpaid wages. The rapper's legal team has denied all claims, saying that Pisciotta had sexually pursued Ye in an effort to secure employment and benefits.
