Kanye West accused of drugging and raping his former assistant.

Lauren Pisciotta, Kanye West’s former assistant, has accused him of drugging and raping her at a party hosted by Sean “Diddy” Combs, who was recently arrested on sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges. In an 88-page lawsuit filed on Friday, Pisciotta detailed the allegations against West, claiming the incident occurred at a Santa Monica recording studio during a party co-hosted by Diddy. She alleges guests were pressured to drink beverages “poured at the direction” of West, though Diddy was not implicated. Pisciotta claims she entered an “altered state” after consuming a drink and woke up the next day feeling ill and confused. This lawsuit follows a previous case filed by Pisciotta in June for wrongful termination and sexual assault. She says she only recalled the alleged Santa Monica assault while working for West, who changed his name to Ye in 2021.
