Kanye West responds to allegations of sexual harassment

The rapper strongly denied the allegations made by his former personal assistant after she filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against him this week. Lauren Pisciotta, 35, also accused Kanye, 46, of wrongful termination of her employment and breach of contract. “In response to these baseless allegations, Ye will file a lawsuit against Ms. Pisciotta, who actively sexually pursued him in order to obtain employment and other material benefits, and then engaged in extortion and coercion when her advances were rebuffed,” a legal representative for the Runaway artist said in a statement to TMZ.
