Kanye West Settles With Former Assistant in Sexual Battery Lawsuit
Lauren Pisciotta had alleged that West sexually harassed and assaulted her
Note: This article contains descriptions of alleged sexual assault.
Pisciotta had accused West of drugging, sexually assaulting, and sexually harassing her during a tenure, between 2021 and 2023, that also included her roles as an A&R and chief of staff for West and his companies. She initially sued him for sexual harassment, alleging sexual misconduct that included masturbating in front of her in a locked room of a private jet. She later expanded the lawsuit to include the drugging and assault allegations, in a complaint alleging he repeatedly “touched, groped, fondled, grabbed, and forced himself in and on” Pisciotta, without her consent, including once at a party co-hosted by Sean “Diddy” Combs.
