Kanye West accused of drugging & raping ex-assistant Lauren Pisciotta at Diddy party in new 86-page lawsuit
KANYE West has been accused of drugging and raping his ex-assistant at a party with disgraced rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.
The new sexual harassment claims, seen by The Sun, were made in updated lawsuit brought by Lauren Pisciotta.
Pisciotta – an influencer and former OnlyFans model – worked for the rapper between 2021 and 2022 after a career working in the music industry.
She sued the rapper earlier this year alleging the Gold Digger rapper bombarded her with sexual texts and masturbated on the phone with her.
But in new allegations filed on Friday Pisciotta claims she was “roofied” when a drink which was poured and served to her by West, 47, was laced with an unidentified drug.
Years before the pair worked together, West co-hosted a Santa Monica studio session with Combs inviting Pisciotta in her capacity working for a record label.
The lawsuit claims: “As Plaintiff began to slip into an altered and heavily impaired state, she felt less in control of her body and speech and that is where the Plaintiff’s memories of that night escape her.”
Pisciotta woke up the next day feeling ill, confused, and shame that she was not able to recall a single detail of the night following the drink.
For years she thought that nothing had happened that night, only to find once employed by West the rapper had “hooked up” with her.
The lawsuit claims the revelation came when West’s ex-wife had texted him about the pair being intimate while he was married to her.
Pisciotta wanted to text her and deny they had ever been together and clear up what she thought was wrong information.
But the lawsuit claims West then “reminisced” about the night, saying: “we did kind of hook up one time”.
West only has one ex-wife – Kim Kardashian.
Some time after Pisciotta stopped working for West the pair saw each other at a Post Malone concert.
West allegedly grabbed Pisciotta by the throat and put his tongue into her ear saying: “I always knew what I would do to you if I ever saw you again.”
Pisciotta also alleged that West tried to make her bring him “honey” that he would use to boost his sexual performance as a way to try and sleep with her.
A representative for West did not immediately respond to comment.
The drugging claim comes after similar claims were made against Combs by dozens of women.
The rape allegations were made by Pisciotta as part of a wider wrongful termination and sexual harassment lawsuit.
Proceedings were first brought against West by Pisciotta back in March, but they didn’t become public until June.
The lawsuit alleges West used his branded companies as “conduits to persue and satisfy his unusual; fantasies and delusional desires…
“And he further used the money created by him and these entities to fund his obsessive, compulsive, sexually dominated and driven behaviour.”
Pisciotta details a number of times West allegedly sexually harassed her, including masturbating next to her on a plane and standing over her naked while on a bed.
She also claims in the suit West failed to pay her $3million in severance after she stopped working for him, plus an additional $1 million he allegedly promised her for deleting her OnlyFans account.
She also claims West repeatedly sent her vulgar text messages.
West allegedly sent the following text to Lauren: “One time I took Viagra and f***ed [A-list celebrity] for three hours.
“Not sure why that thought came to me.”
Another offensive text allegedly read, “l just thinking back to the bowling alley thinking of what the headline could have been Ye arrested for f***ing the s**t out of his assistant on the bowling alley floor.”
West also allegedly sent several sexual videos to Pisciotta, including a 24-second clip he filmed of a model performing oral sex on him.
West’s spokesperson previously said: “In response to these baseless allegations, Ye will be filing a lawsuit against Ms. Pisciotta, who actively pursued him sexually to coerce employment and other material benefits, then engaged in blackmail and extortion when her advances were rejected.”
Kanye West's recent controversies
Kanye West has faced a number of controversies in recent years.
In November 2022, a former Yeezy staffer alleged Kanye showed them intimate photos of his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
Staffers also claimed he played pornography for them during meetings and talked about porn.
In October 2023, Adidas dropped the rapper as various social media sites barred him from their platforms for making anti-semitic comments online, in interviews, and with his clothing.
Amid pleas from fans and threats of major boycotts, Adidas announced its decision to terminate his contract.
Gap and Balenciaga followed suit.
The rapper is now being sued by his ex-assistant, accusing him of sexual harassment and wrongful termination.
Kanye has said in the past that he suffers from a porn addiction, making the comments in an online rant that has since been deleted.
