Kanye West's Former Assistant Sues Him for Drugging & Sexual Assault During a Studio Session Co-Hosted by Diddy

Kanye West‘s former assistant is suing him.

Lauren Pisciotta, who worked for the Yeezus star from 2021 to 2022, accusing him of drugging and sexually assaulting her at a studio session co-hosted by the rapper and Sean “Diddy” Combs.

She alleges in an amended complaint that Kanye committed “sexual battery” after serving her a laced drink, via People.

The allegations follows a wrongful termination lawsuit against the music star, in which she claimed that she was subjected to explicit texts, pornographic photos, videos and phone calls before being fired.

She starting working with Kanye in July 2021 to assist on his Yeezy women’s fashion line and collaborate on his 2021 album, Donda.

A legal representative for Kanye has not yet responded to the latest allegations, but previously denied the other allegations made in the initial June 2024 complaint to People, adding that “Ye will be filing a lawsuit against Ms. Pisciotta.”

Lauren alleges that before she worked for Kanye, he invited her to a studio session in Santa Monica, Calif., where “drinks were served to others in attendance, followed by an announcement that everybody had to drink if they wanted to stay.”

She says the studio session was co-hosted by Ye and Diddy, and she was invited with a “former artist management client.” (She does not accuse Diddy of anything in the amended lawsuit.)

Lauren claims her drink was “laced with an unidentifiable drug,” and she felt disoriented after “a few small sips.”

“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 plaintiff’s memories of that night escape her,” the complaint reads.

She allegedly woke up the following day “feeling physically ill and confused” and felt “immense and embarrassment” for not being able to remember what happened, via the filing.

The former assistant thought she got roofied and had no memory, and after Kanye hired her to serve as an assistant and Chief of Staff and do A&R for him, she say she allegedly brought up the night during a conversation, and said they “did kind of hook up a little one time,” referring to the night in the Santa Monica studio where the alleged assault took place.

After Lauren allegedly said she had no memory of that studio session, he laughed and said “women love to say they don’t remember,” via the complaint.

“Up until that very point, right before that very conversation, Plaintiff was unaware that she had been subjected to gender violence and sexual battery on that studio night by KANYE WEST a.k.a YE,” the document reads.

She allegedly felt “overcome with immense shame, discomfort and utter disgust.”

He also faces a separate lawsuit filed in April 2024 from a former employee who claimed that he suffered “severe discrimination [and] harassment” while working for Yeezy and at his Donda Academy school, while a former employee also filed a lawsuit with allegations of emotional distress, retaliation and labor code violations.

Julia Fox recently shared about her “regret” over her relationship with Kanye.
