Kanye West’s Former Assistant Accuses Him Of Drugging, Raping Her At Diddy Event

An ex-assistant of Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, has accused him of drugging and raping her while at a studio session in Santa Monica, California, co-hosted by Ye and Sean “Diddy” Combs, according to disturbing new court documents reported by The New York Post and The Daily Mail.

Lauren Pisciotta, who filed a wrongful termination and sexual harassment lawsuit against the rapper in June, said Ye “sought” her and her former unnamed musician client out before inviting them to the event, according to a filing in Los Angeles Superior Court this past week.

Pisciotta alleged that Ye handed her a beverage after telling people at the event they had to drink if they wanted to stay. After she took a few sips, she “suddenly started to feel disorientated … and began to slip into an altered and highly impaired state,” as well as felt “less in control of her body and speech.”

The next day, she said she couldn’t remember the night before and felt “immense shame and embarrassment,” while her ex-client “was too traumatized and disturbed to speak about the night,” according to the documents.

The studio session is alleged to have happened years before Pisciotta worked for Ye in 2021 and 2022.

Pisciotta, who said she couldn’t recall and wasn’t aware of “any kind of sexual assault had happened to her or her former client” at the time, alleged that Ye told her prior to her 2022 firing that they “did kind of hook up a little one time” at the studio and reminisced on it.

Ye was allegedly upset that his ex-wife Kim Kardashian commented on the rapper and Pisciotta. She claimed that Ye told Kardashian the two “hooked up” and left out the “true nature and severity of what he did to” her.

After Pisciotta informed Ye she couldn’t recall the night at the studio, he allegedly laughed and said that “women love to say they don’t remember.”

The filing arrives after embattled music mogul Combs pleaded not guilty on sex trafficking and racketeering charges last month. He’s been accused of throwing sex parties he called “freak-offs,” which included GBH, a date rape drug.

Pisciotta, in her lawsuit against Ye filed earlier this year, accused him of sending unsolicited nudes to her and claimed he would masturbate while on the phone with her.

A representative for Ye, in a statement to The Washington Post in June, criticized the “baseless allegations” against him and wrote that Pisciotta “actively pursued him sexually to coerce employment and other material benefits, then engaged in blackmail and extortion when her advances were rejected.”

HuffPost has reached out to a representative for Ye, who was not immediately available for comment.
