Kanye West Faces New Lawsuit: Allegations of Sexual Harassment and Wrongful Termination

In a series of recent developments, Kanye West finds himself embroiled in yet another legal battle. This time, the allegations are particularly serious, involving sexual harassment, wrongful termination, and overall workplace harassment. The lawsuit has been brought forward by Lauren, a former assistant who worked closely with West on his fashion line and music projects.

Lauren was hired by Kanye in July 2021 after they met while he was assembling his fashion line. She later collaborated with him on three songs for his “Donda” album. According to Lauren, Kanye promised her a substantial salary of $1 million per year if she agreed to delete her OnlyFans account, which she did. However, this agreement marked the beginning of a tumultuous and distressing professional relationship.

The lawsuit details a series of disturbing text messages and behaviors from Kanye. Lauren alleges that Kanye sent her explicit texts, including one where he described his sexual fantasies in vulgar terms. In another message, Kanye questioned whether his genitalia was “racist” and made other bizarre, explicit statements. These messages created a hostile and uncomfortable work environment for Lauren.

Lauren also claims that Kanye masturbated during phone conversations with her and would ask if she could hear or guess what he was doing. She further alleges that Kanye was obsessed with the size of her boyfriend’s genitalia. These actions, according to Lauren, were not only inappropriate but also constituted severe sexual harassment.

In addition to the harassment claims, Lauren’s lawsuit includes accusations of wrongful termination. She states that in October 2022, she was fired without just cause. Despite Kanye offering her a $3 million severance package, she claims she never received the money. Lauren is now suing for breach of contract, harassment, wrongful termination, and creating a hostile work environment.

This is not the first time Kanye West has faced legal action from former employees. Another former employee, Trevor Phillips, has sued Kanye for discrimination and harassment. Phillips, who worked at Kanye’s Donda school, alleges that Kanye treated black employees significantly worse than white employees, often subjecting them to severe verbal abuse. Phillips also claims that Kanye made numerous anti-Semitic and homophobic remarks and even threatened physical violence against him.

Phillips’ lawsuit also reveals some shocking details about Kanye’s behavior. He alleges that Kanye once ordered a black security guard to shave his dreadlocks or be fired and made unsettling comments about implementing jail-like conditions at his school. These allegations paint a troubling picture of Kanye’s conduct towards his staff and raise questions about the environment he fostered in his professional endeavors.

Adding to Kanye’s legal woes, his former designing assistant, Talia, accused him of violating labor codes by classifying employees as contractors, failing to pay for compulsory travel, and denying off-duty breaks. This lawsuit was settled out of court, but it underscores a pattern of disputes between Kanye and his employees.

In another bizarre turn of events, Kanye’s current wife, Bianca Censori, is reportedly distressed over his recent plans to enter the adult entertainment industry. Sources claim that Kanye’s erratic behavior and controversial business ventures have put a strain on their relationship. Despite Kanye’s grand gestures, such as gifting Bianca a Porsche, the relationship appears to be on shaky ground.

As these allegations continue to unfold, the spotlight remains firmly on Kanye West. The serious nature of these claims and the pattern of behavior alleged by multiple former employees could potentially lead to more individuals coming forward with similar stories. For now, Kanye West faces a challenging legal battle that could have significant repercussions for his career and personal life.
