She says she was purposely caused mental suffering and is now owed $3 million as compensation for breach of contract and hostile work environment.
American rapper Kanye West, known as Ye, and his Yeezy sneaker business have been sued for sexual harassment, wrongful termination and breach of contract by a former assistant of the celebrity, as per a report in the Guardian. She says she was purposely caused mental suffering and is now owed $3 million as compensation for breach of contract and hostile work environment.
Lauren Pisciotta said she lost her job in 2022 after she did not receive the $4 million bonus she had been promised for becoming West's "chief of staff." In addition, she claims that a multimillion-dollar severance payment was never made. According to Ms Pisciotta's filing, she began collaborating with the rapper in July 2021, when he was getting ready for the launch of his Yeezy fashion line and was offered $1 million. She agreed to the sole requirement, which was to make herself available seven days a week, 24 hours a day, as per Page Six.
The 35-year-old said in her lawsuit that she was also earning an extra $1 million from OnlyFans up until 2022 when West requested that she stop using the platform and become more "God Like." He allegedly increased the model's salary to $2 million a year in exchange, making up for the reduced income. However, he never made adjustments to her salary.
