Kanye West Slams “Baseless” Sexual Harassment Claims By Ex-Assistant, Jokes About Her “Jay Leno” Chin
Kanye West has slammed sexual harassment claims made against him by his former assistant, Lauren Pisciotta, who says he masturbated in front of her twice and wrongfully terminated her.
On Tuesday (June 4), West countered Pisciotta’s claims with some of his own in a statement to Complex.
The 46-year-old rapper alleges that the OnlyFans adult content creator actually pursued him sexually to gain employment and benefits. He says that he rejected her and in return she is blackmailing and extorting him.
Here is his statement in its entirety:
In response to these baseless allegations, Ye will be filing a lawsuit against Ms. Pisciotta, who actively pursued him sexually to coerce employment and other material benefits, then engaged in blackmail and extortion when her advances were rejected.
Prior to her termination as an assistant, Ms. Pisciotta stole his cell phone in an attempt to destroy phone records that would contradict her claims, all of which have been preserved. She was terminated for being unqualified, demanding unreasonable sums of money (including a $4 million annual salary) and numerous documented incidents of her lascivious, unhinged conduct.
During her employment Ms. Pisciotta offered Ye sex on his birthday to which he declined, sent Ye unsolicited nude images, sexual narratives and was seen twerking in the office during business hours. 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 Hermes Birkin bags, a Lamborghini and an endless quest for plastic surgery. Upon having her advances rebuked, Pisciotta’s blackmail demands have gone from $60M last year to $50M in last week’s frivolous filing. Such behavior is entirely inconsistent with someone who claims to have been sexually harassed or experienced a hostile work environment.
It is evident that Ms. Pisciotta leveraged her association with Ye and his company, and her proximity to him, to seek material gains, clout, and employment through inappropriate means. Her initial attempt at a lawsuit for unlawful termination gained no media traction, leading her to fabricate headlines following threats of blackmail and extortion.
Ye isn’t the only celebrity targeted by Pisciotta. Jay Leno is suing her for stealing his chin.
According to legal documents, Pisciotta was already making “seven figures” on OnlyFans when she was asked to work with Ye in 2021. She claims West offered her $1,000,000 to drop her adult-content job and become his “God like” executive/personal assistant. Pisciotta said that the job description consisted of being on-call for the Chicagoan 24/7.
The woman claimed that when she began working for Yeezy, he started to behave inappropriately, including sending her explicit text messages and pleasuring himself. The model claims that he sent her one message that read: “See my problem is I be wanting to f**k but then after I f**k I want a girl to tell me how hard they been f**ked while I’m f**king them. Then I want her to cheat on me.”
In another message, she alleges that the ex-husband of Kim Kardashian wrote: “Is my d*ck racist? I’m going to stare at pictures of white women with black a**es and beat the sh*t out of my racist d*ck.” Additionally, Pisciotta says West was “fixated” on knowing the size of her boyfriend’s penis and would unsolicitedly send her footage of him sexually engaging with models.
The woman recalled two times witnessing the 46-year-old pleasuring himself — once while on the phone with her, and another time when he allegedly locked himself in a room with her during a private flight to Paris. She says the Grammy-winner then laid down on a bed and masturbated under covers until he fell asleep.
Per Pisciotta, Ye let her go in October 2022 after she allegedly turned down a $4,000,000 offer to be his Chief of Staff.
She is now suing West for wrongful termination and breach of contract. She claims she’s owed a $3,000,000 severance package that was promised, but never paid.
