Terms of the settlement, which was submitted to a Los Angeles court on Wednesday, were not disclosed.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tPisciotta worked as an assistant to the rapper and Yeezy mogul from 2021 to 2022, during which time she claimed in an initial June 2024 filing that she was subjected to explicit materials, including texts, pornographic photos, videos and phone calls from Ye, and was then \u201cwrongfully terminated\u201d from her position. She also filed suit against West and some of his companies for fraud, unpaid wages and intentional infliction of emotional distress.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe lawsuit was expanded later that year with Pisciotta amending the allegations to include sexual assault, claiming West \u201ctouched, groped, fondled, grabbed and forced himself in and on\u201d her while she was employed by him.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn July 2025, a second amendment was added to the complaint with allegations of assault, sexual battery and oral rape; West attempted to penetrate Pisciotta vaginally with his fingers, forcibly kissed her and orally raped her while the two were on a work trip in 2021, the lawsuit claimed.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cOn one occasion, Ye attempted to vaginally penetrate Ms. Pisciotta with his fingers. On another occasion, he orally raped her without her consent. Both assaults occurred during the course of Ms. Pisciotta\u2019s employment,\u201d the complaint states, adding that he subjected her to \u201cobscene comments about her body, demanded she wear tight-fitting clothing [and] groped her on a regular basis.\u201d It also says he forced her to watch him perform sexual acts with other women, sent her sexually explicit pictures and demanded she do the same, and repeatedly demanded she join his sexual encounters \u2014 demands Pisciotta refused, the complaint states.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=4658\">ITV Bullish in First Results Since Confirming Sky Deal, Orders Share Buyback of $135M<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tPisciotta also alleged that West \u201coffered someone the opportunity\u201d to have sex with her in exchange for allowing him to have sex with their significant other.<\/p>\n<p>\n<em>The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> reached out to Pisciotta\u2019s attorney, Arick Fudali, on Thursday but did not hear back.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWest denied the allegations when the suit was initially filed and again through a representative in 2025, who referred to the added claims as \u201cfantasy fiction.\u201d <em>THR<\/em> also reached out to a representative for Ye on Thursday regarding the settlement but did not have a message returned.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn June 2024, a rep stated that \u201cit is well documented how Ms. Pisciotta consistently used sexual coercion in an attempt to demand not only money but material items, namely Herm\u00e8s Birkin bags, a Lamborghini and an endless quest for plastic surgery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=4657\">NBCUniversal Finds New CFO As It Readies Spinoff<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kanye West\u00a0settled a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by a former assistant who accused the rapper of multiple instances of sexual abuse and assault.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4660,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[806],"class_list":["post-4661","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting","tag-kanye-west"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
