Kanye West has responded to his former assistant’s claims of sexual assault, oral rape and sex trafficking.

Lauren Pisciotta, a fitness model and influence who worked for the disgraced rapper from 2021 to 2022, made a number of accusations in a new lawsuit. She accused him of sexually harassing her, and assaulting her on multiple occasions, which included claims he forced ‘his penis into her mouth’ on a business trip in San Francisco, all of which is denies.

West’s team have come out fighting, with his representative Milo Yiannopoulos responding to the amended complaint. She last year launched a lawsuit claiming he drugged and raped her at a party with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. Pisciotta has now accused the father-of-four of sexually harassing and assaulting her on multiple occasions.

The 48-year-old’s rep hit out at “the fourth version she has advanced”. He added: “Each new revision contradicts the others; each is more absurd and outlandish than all previous claims combined,’ the Yeezy rep insisted. “Does Ms. Pisciotta actually believe her confabulations? We cannot know.

“But this breathless new installment of fantasy fiction discredits all past, present and future testimony. We stand ready to annihilate Ms. Pisciotta’s tall tales before a jury, an exoneration so inevitable that even she, lost in her fog of fantasy, must surely see it coming.”

Mr Yiannopoulos went on to say in the statement released to MailOnline that she picked the one rapper who “loathes violence, has never been arrested, and doesn’t even own a gun”. Mrs Pisciotta alleged that West attempted to kiss her on the lips more than once, which she says she told him was ‘not professional’.

In response to his rep’s statement, her attorney Lisa Bloom told the publication: “While Kanye West’s publicist has come up with a slickly worded (and outrageously false and defamatory) attack on Ms. Pisciotta, Kanye himself has publicly admitted much of what she’s claiming.

“Kanye’s publicist is deafeningly silent on Kanye’s own admissions, which will destroy him in court. We look forward to seeing him there, where he cannot hide behind a high priced spin team,” she concluded. It comes after her legal complaint, which was originally filed last year.

Her most serious claim in the October 2024 lawsuit was that years before working for West, he drugged and raped her. He allegedly confessed during his last weeks as her boss. Pisciotta claimed she met West when he invited her musician client to a studio session and party alongside his friend Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in Santa Monica.

In the legal paper she claimed The following day, Pisciotta said she felt “ashamed and embarrassed” that she couldn’t remember the evening. She claims her musician client refused to discuss what had happened. Pisciotta stated she learned years later why her client “was too traumatized and disturbed to speak about that night”.

She believed for years that she was drugged by a studio assistant and escaped without being molested, but Pisciotta has claimed she learned the truth from West. Pisciotta claimed not long before she was fired by him in November 2022, West was engaged by a comment his partner at the time made about him and Pisciotta having an affair.

Pisciotta wanted to text West’s partner at the time to clear things up as it “appeared she was under the wrong impression”. However, she claimed West said she couldn’t deny they were ever intimate due to what happened at the Santa Monica party. The lawsuit claimed West said: “We did kind of hook up a little one time.

“[West] then immediately proceeded to reminisce about the time he was referring to… where he ‘hooked up’ with [Pisciotta] after she had been drugged.” Pisciotta claimed West told his partner at the time they “hooked up” but “left out the true nature and severity of what he did to her.

.”West handed her a drink and after a few sips she “suddenly started to feel disorientated and… began to slip into an altered and highly impaired state.” It claimed: “She felt less in control of her body and speech and that is where [her] memories of the night escape her.”
