Kanye West‘s ex-assistant, Lauren Pisciotta, recently filed a lawsuit against the rapper, claiming that he sexually assaulted her while in a studio session with Sean “Diddy” Combs. This comes after a June 2024 lawsuit where Pisciotta claimed sexual harassment while working for the rapper and wrongful termination.

According to Page Six, Pisciotta, who is also a model, amended the June 2024 complaint to include newfound information. She alleges that while the two were in a studio session, she was given a drink that was “laced with an unidentified drug,” and West was the one who had the drink made for her.

She further alleges that after taking the drink, she later felt “less control of her body and speech.” While she woke up the next morning feeling sick and shameful, she was unsure of the details. She became aware of the alleged drugging “much later.

The former OnlyFans model states that West later told her they “did kind of hook up a little one time,” confirming her suspicions. The filed complaint alleges that the confession stemmed from West being pressured by his then-wife, Kim Kardashian. The reality TV star had begun to assert that her husband and Pisciotta were having an affair, which caused the “Gold Digger” rapper to come clean. West’s ex-assistant claims she knew she had to quit once she became privy to this information.

“Still to that day, up until that conversation and revelations of true facts and actions taken that night, Plaintiff did not know or think she was sexually assaulted that night, as Plaintiff only thought she was roofied by a studio assistant, likely embarrassed herself and then took the blame,” the filing stated.

In the amended complaint, it is revealed that Pisciotta was fired shortly after the studio session. Before the filing was amended, the ex-assistant stated that she was owed $3 million in severance. According to Page Six, she originally collected $1 million in salary. However, West requested that she delete her OnlyFans page, from which she made an additional $1 million. To combat the loss in salary, West promised a $2 million raise. Pisciotta claims she never received the money.

While working for West, Pisciotta claims she often received texts harassing her.

“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–ing them. Then I want her to cheat on me,” one alleged text reads.

West’s former employee also claims she would receive private photos of male and female Yeezy employees. The filing also claims that West masturbated while sitting next to his assistant. He would also allegedly get angry when Pisciotta would reject his offers of sex.

In response to Pisciotta’s June 2024 suit, West’s team claimed her filing was “baseless.” His team also claims that it was her that was trying to make sexual advances towards the 47-year-old.

“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,” West’s lawyer stated. “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.”

Though Diddy was named in the suit as a co-host of the studio session, he has not been named for any wrongdoing.

“I’m working on a plan to transition off of social media for good. I don’t believe I’ll ever mature and be happy as long as i have it. So my last day of socials will be December 18th, my 2 year sobriety anniversary. I will be deleting my FB, IG and TikTok permanently,” she wrote.

Lennox completed her caption by speaking directly to her fans. She admitted that social media had compromised her happiness, and she was no longer willing to make that sacrifice. She also provided spaces in which her fans c a still interact with her content. Fans and music listeners can stay updated on her upcoming releases there.

“I’m so exhausted with my addiction to the internet and gossip and attention and validation and yearning to be in control and oversharing. I just want to be free and complete. I would like to offer other spaces where you can find me and that’s YouTube.com/arilennox and Arilennox.com and on the singing stage or outside.”

A Look At Ari Lennox’s Sobriety Journey

You may recall that in December 2023, Lennox took to social media to announce the one-year anniversary of her decision to stop drinking. According to Hip-Hop DX, in the post, she admitted that she was using alcohol to cope with trauma and pain. She also detailed her excuses to drink being tied to a fear of flying as well.

“You see, drinking was my ritual to combat my immense fear of flying,” she wrote in the now-deleted post. “Just alcohol’ could’ve killed me. I had many guardian angels watching over me that day. Thank God there was nobody filming.”

After getting sober, the singer realized that she could fly without using alcohol.

“I decided December 18th 2022, would be the day I got clean. You know what I realized after 1 year of many sober flights? I never needed alcohol to get through the flight. I thought I needed alcohol to escape my reality and to cope. I needed an excuse to drink and not feel the pain of every day life and trauma. It was my numbing vacation to avoid my purpose and my truth,” she stated.

Though she is making an exit from social media, Lennox announced her new single, “Smoke,” will be available on October 18.

We wish Ari Lennox the best on her continued sobriety journey!

While visiting Angel Reese‘s podcast, Kayla described the craziest thing she has done in a relationship.

Kayla Nicole, a model, content creator, and Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend, recently joined Angel Reese on her new podcast, Unapologetically Angel. While there, the two discussed several things, including her former relationship with Kelce and the backlash she experienced when he began dating Taylor Swift. Nevertheless, the juiciest part of the interview came when Reese asked Kayla the craziest thing she had ever done in a relationship.

Before spilling the tea, Kayla clarified that she does not have many “crazy” stories, but this was her favorite. She then stated that after a guy she was dealing with dumped her for a “singer/actress,” she dressed up as them for Halloween — and posted it on Instagram. The picture went viral and had her ex-boo calling her crazy.

“So I was dating a guy, and he dumped me through a text message. And he dumped me for this singer/actress who was famous at the time. He dumped me for her. Lied about it for months then popped out with her and it became this public thing,” she stated.

To further clarify her actions, Kayla said that she had moved to New York to be with the mystery man and was heartbroken when she found out the truth.

While Kayla tried to remain vague when telling the story, social media warriors were quick to dig up the old Instagram post. After the clip of Kayla’s story went viral, it was revealed that the content creator was talking about Iman Shumpert and Teyana Taylor. A picture of Kayla dressed in Taylor’s iconic outfit from Ye’s “Fade” video began circulating social media, confirming the speculations.

Soon after, Taylor took to Instagram Stories with a clip of Left Eye saying, “And everyone, get ready to do your math,” alluding to the allegation that Shumpert was simultaneously dealing with Taylor and Kayla. According to TheShadeRoom, Taylor began dating Shumpert in 2013, and they popped out on Instagram in 2014.

After social media began to react to Kayla’s story, she took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to clear the air. In one tweet, she asserted that people had taken the story too far.

“I share a sliver of my truth for once and here y’all come with the group chat think pieces,” she stated.

In a separate tweet, Kayla made it clear that she does not condone her past actions, but she has a right to share her story.

“Sometimes I’m asked about my personal life and decide to share the lessons I’ve learned. To reiterate what I said in the hour-long interview – learn from my mistakes. If u watched in its entirety, you’d know I don’t condone the “crazy” decision I made literally 10 YEARS AGO,” she wrote. “Will continue to speak on my life experiences when I see fit with zero shame, because it’s my story to tell. And if it helps just one woman avoid the tough lessons I’ve learned, my obstacles will not have been in vain.”

Despite providing more context, Teyana Taylor did not feel the extra attention that Kayla’s story brought her. In a now-deleted comment on TheShadeRoom’s post, Taylor put her “petty panties on” to react. She put Kayla and her story on blast because she felt the influencer was being shady.

“She pulled the Black card when it came to Taylor Swift, but in the same circle, turned around and tried to bully the Black woman that was married to her situationship she claimed ‘dumped her’ for me. Dressing up like me for what? Crazy part about all this is, I actually showed love under her pic when she posted it. Like I did the other 3736262626 people that dressed up as me for Halloweeen. Whole time I ain’t even know she was being shady. Now I do. so in that case petty panties on. I had my lil fun I said what the f**k I said & now I’m done and headed back to set,” she wrote.
