According to court documents obtained by Page Six, Kanye West’s former assistant sued him for sexual harassment and wrongful termination.

In the file, Lauren Pisciotta said she began collaborating with the disgraced rapper in July 2021 as he was preparing to launch his Yeezy clothing line.

The influencer, who also collaborated with West on several “Donda” songs, was offered a million dollars for the job. The only condition was that she would be available to the “Heartless” singer 24 hours a day, seven days a week – which she accepted.

In her lawsuit, Pisciotta detailed that she also earned another million dollars from OnlyFans until West, 46, told her to act more “godlike” and delete her account in 2022.

In return, West reportedly increased the model’s salary to $2 million a year to make up for lost revenue, but he reportedly never adjusted her salary.

Shortly after her raise, the father of four allegedly began sending her vulgar text messages.

“My problem is that I want to fuck, but after I fuck, I want a girl to tell me how hard she got fucked while I fuck her. Then I want her to cheat on me,” one of the text messages allegedly read.

Along with the offensive messages, he allegedly shared explicit details of sexual acts he wanted to experience, as well as photos and videos of West having sex with other women.

Pisciotta also allegedly received intimate photos from West of “current and former” Yeezy employees – both “men and women.”

In the lawsuit, Pisciotta described numerous other incidents with the “Bound 2” singer. For example, he is said to have masturbated while on the phone, asked her about her boyfriend’s penis size and even forced her to “take off her cardigan in the office because, in his opinion, it covered too much.”

In another case, he allegedly locked her in a room together and masturbated next to her before falling asleep. She also claimed he became angry after she rejected all advances to “go out or have sex” with him.

In September 2022, Pisciotta was promoted to chief of staff at several of West’s companies and received a salary of $4 million. But just a month later, he fired her.

Pisciotta was offered a three million dollar severance package, which she also allegedly never received.

In her lawsuit, Pisciotta is now demanding damages for breach of contract and hostile work environment.

Representatives for West were not immediately available for comment to Page Six.

West’s latest legal battle came more than a month after he was accused of firing a former black employee because of the color of his skin.

According to documents obtained by Page Six, Benjamin Deshon Provo was hired as a security guard at the Grammy winner’s Christian school, Donda Academy, in August 2021.

Provo alleged that during his employment, West “yelled and cursed at black employees” and “regularly expressed negative views related to prominent black leaders.”
