Lauren Pisciotta worked for the rapper and producer from 2021 until her employment was terminated in 2024, first as an A&R representative and then as Ye’s personal assistant. During the recording of the Grammy winner’s Donda album sessions, Pisciotta alleges that West “orally raped her without her consent” and had coerced her into sexual compliance with false promises of career advancement, according to the second addendum to a lawsuit filed in June 2024. The initial suit accused West of sexual harassment, breach of contract and wrongful termination; she also filed suit against West and some of his owned companies for fraud, unpaid wages and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

On another occasion, he orally raped her without her consent. Both assaults occurred during the course of Ms. Pisciotta’s employment,” the complaint states, adding that he had subjected her to “obscene comments about her body, demanded she wear tight-fitting clothing [and] groped her on a regular basis.” 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 that she join his sexual encounters; the demands were refused by Pisciotta, the complaint states. Pisciotta, an OnlyFans model, also alleges that West “offered someone the opportunity” to have sex with her in exchange for allowing him to have sex with their significant other. The alleged sex trafficking occurred, the suit says, because the rapper “recruited and enticed [Pisciotta] by making fraudulent promises of career advancement” in exchange for her submission to his alleged sexual overtures. The suit states that not complying with West’s wishes “would be met with serious consequences such as public humiliation, online harassment, termination, retaliation and violence.” Attorneys for West released a statement at the time the original suit was filed in 2024, claiming that the rap and fashion mogul would be taking legal action against Pisciotta. “During her employment, Ms. Pisciotta offered [West] sex on his birthday to which he declined, sent [West] unsolicited nude images, sexual narratives and was seen twerking in the office during business hours,” the June 2024 statement from West’s rep said. “On one occasion, Pisciotta boasted how the best moment of her life was when she was being ejaculated on by a soccer player while simultaneously texting her boss. It is well documented how Ms. Pisciotta consistently used sexual coercion in an attempt to demand not only money but material items, namely Hermès Birkin bags, a Lamborghini and an endless quest for plastic surgery.” West’s team has not yet responded to the most recent claims in Pisciotta’s second amended complaint. The Hollywood Reporter reached out to a representative for West on Thursday and will update this story with any comment provided.
