Kanye West’s ex-assistant, Lauren Pisciotta, is suing the rapper and accusing him of multiple crimes, including drugging and sexual assault. She claimed the event happened during a studio session co-hosted by West and Sean “Diddy” Combs. Pisciotta previously filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against West in June. She claimed that he subjected her to pornographic material before firing her. In an amended complaint obtained by PEOPLE, the ex-assistant has made multiple other shocking claims against him. The report further mentioned that Pisciotta joined him in July 2021 to assist him on his Yeezy women’s clothing line and collaborate with him for the album “Donda.”
Lauren Pisciotta accuses Kanye West of ‘sexual battery’ in explosive complaint
Kanye West’s ex-assistant, Lauren Pisciotta, has sued him for drugging her with a spiked drink and committing “sexual battery.” Pisciotta, who worked for the rapper from 2021 to 2022, alleged in the amended filing that West invited her to a studio session in Santa Monica, California. Sean “Diddy” Combs co-hosted this event with West. Combs is currently being held on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and facilitating prostitution. However, Pisciotta hasn’t accused him in the lawsuit.
According to PEOPLE, Pisciotta, who attended West and Combs’ studio session as a “former artist management client,” claimed that the attendees at the event were served drinks. A later announcement stated that “everybody had to drink if they wanted to stay.” The ex-assistant alleged that the drink offered to her by a studio assistant upon West’s request was “laced with an unidentifiable drug.” The lawsuit against Kanye West further stated that Pisciotta woke up the following day feeling sick and embarrassed for not recalling events that transpired after having the drink.
Pisciotta claimed that it was only later that she realized that West subjected her to sexual battery. The complaint stated that the rapper brought up the studio session events much later. During their conversation, he confessed that the two “did kind of hook up a little one time.” After the ex-assistant revealed having no memory of it, West allegedly said, “Women love to say they don’t remember.” Pisciotta also made another shocking accusation in the complaint, detailing a horrifying encounter with the rapper during a 2021 “album workshop” at the St. Regis Hotel in San Francisco.
Meanwhile, Kanye West has yet to respond to the complaint.
