Lauren Pisciotta, Kanye West’s former assistant, has made serious allegations against the rapper, accusing him of drugging and sexually assaulting her during a studio session co-hosted by Sean “Diddy” Combs, according to a lawsuit filed in California.
In an amended lawsuit filed on October 8, Pisciotta claims that she and her artist management client were invited to a studio session with West and Combs. After their arrival, drinks were served, and attendees were reportedly told they had to drink to stay. Pisciotta states she consumed a beverage poured by a studio assistant at West’s direction and handed to her by the rapper.
Shortly after, Pisciotta alleges she felt disoriented. She claims that upon waking the next day, she remembered little from the previous night, except for feelings of “immense shame and embarrassment.” For years, she believed she had been drugged and embarrassed at the event. However, the lawsuit states that West later referenced the night, suggesting they “did kind of hook up” and provided her with details about the encounter.
While Combs is named as a co-host of the event, Pisciotta does not accuse him of any wrongdoing. Combs is currently in jail, awaiting trial for separate charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.
Pisciotta, an OnlyFans model, had previously filed a lawsuit against West in June, alleging sexual harassment, wrongful termination, breach of contract, and fraud, among other claims. In that suit, she claimed West harassed her multiple times during her employment, including sending a text that read: “See my problem is I be wanting to fuck but then after I fuck I want a girl to tell me how hard they been fucked while I’m fucking them. Then I want her to cheat on me.” Another text allegedly stated: “Is my dick racist? I’m going to stare at pictures of white women with black asses and beat the shit out of my racist dick.” Pisciotta also claimed West was “fixated on the penis size” of her partners and would masturbate during phone calls with her.
In response to the allegations, West’s legal team has accused Pisciotta of “sexually pursuing” the rapper to gain employment and benefits, alleging that she engaged in blackmail when her advances were rejected. They claim she sent unsolicited nude images, sexual narratives, and was seen twerking in the office during business hours.
The allegations against West continue to unfold, raising significant concerns about his conduct and the treatment of employees in the entertainment industry.
