Sued for alleged sexual abuse by model Lauren Pisciotta, rapper Kanye West claims that the accusations are unfounded and that he was the one who was blackmailed in this case.
In response to the BBC, West, through his legal representative, states that he will also sue the former OnlyFans model who worked with him between 2021 and 2022 and who now accuses him of abuse and providing her with a toxic work environment. .
According to the rapper’s version, Pisciotta allegedly carried out “blackmail and extortion” after he rejected sexual advances towards her. The model would have asked him for a sum of more than R$315 million. “In response to these unfounded allegations, Ye [nome artÃstico do cantor] will take legal action against Mrs. Pisciotta”, says an excerpt from the note sent to the BBC.
According to the lawyer, Pisciotta was fired for not being qualified and for demanding excessive amounts of money, which would include an annual salary of US$4 million (equivalent to R$21 million).
They also accuse the former employee of “lewd and unbalanced conduct” by alleging that she had “consistently used sexual coercion” to demand money and items such as handbags and a luxury car.
LAUREN PISCIOTTA’S VERSION
According to information from TMZ, Lauren Pisciotta, 32, left her professional life on OnlyFans to dedicate herself to a career as West’s personal assistant.
He would have offered a higher salary than what she earned on the platform to dedicate herself exclusively to him and his companies.
However, she says in the action that the rapper’s behavior would have changed a year after hiring. The model claims he began sending her a series of explicit and vulgar text messages.
In phone calls, he allegedly masturbated and asked her to guess what he was doing. Lauren would also have many sex videos between the rapper and another model, sent by him to his personal cell phone frequently.
In October 2022, she says she was fired and that compensation of US$3 million offered to her by the musician (equivalent to R$15 million) was never paid. Now, she is seeking compensation in court for sexual harassment, breach of contract, unfair dismissal and hostile work environment.
