Kanye West Counter-Sues Ex-Assistant Over ‘Baseless’ Sexual Harassment Allegations and Wrongful Termination
Looks like Rapper Kanye West aka Ye isn’t just about dropping beats—he’s dropping lawsuits too. West is now in the legal ring, gloves off and ready to rumble against his ex-assistant, Lauren Pisciotta. She came out swinging with claims of sexual harassment and wrongful termination, but Ye’s not having any of it. In his corner, he’s got a countersuit, and he’s throwing punches of denial left, right, and centre. He’s calling her accusations baseless, labelling them as nothing more than a cheap shot fueled by hidden agendas. Kanye West Faces Another Legal Trouble!

Now, Ye’s legal team isn’t just playing defence; they’re launching a full-on assault, painting Pisciotta as the mastermind behind everything. They are spinning a tale where she allegedly tried cosying up for career gains, only to switch gears to blackmail when Ye didn’t march to her beat. According to BBC, “unqualified, demanding unreasonable sums of money (including a $4 million annual salary)” and claims they had “numerous documented incidents of her lascivious, unhinged conduct”. Pisciotta wasn’t shy about her demands, and supposedly asked for everything from designer handbags to a swanky Lamborghini ride. And when Ye decided he wasn’t interested in playing that game, things allegedly took a darker turn. He’s claiming she whipped out the big guns, allegedly trying to squeeze a staggering $60 million out of him in what he’s framing as a classic case of blackmail.
