Kanye West Reaches Settlement In Former Assistant's Sexual Harassment Lawsuit
The deal resolves Pisciotta’s claims of sexual harassment and assault, and the terms were not disclosed, her attorney said.
- Ye reached an unconditional settlement with former assistant Lauren Pisciotta on July 23 regarding her sexual misconduct lawsuit, according to Los Angeles court documents filed this week.
- Pisciotta served as Ye's personal assistant and chief of staff between 2021 and 2023 before suing in 2024, alleging the rapper 'terrorized and dominated' her and subjected her to sexual harassment and trafficking.
- Ye consistently denied the allegations throughout litigation and accused Pisciotta of extortion. The settlement does not include an admission of liability or wrongdoing by either party, and financial terms remain confidential.
- Pisciotta's attorney Arick Fudali confirmed on Wednesday that 'the matter has been resolved.' The agreement requires a formal dismissal request within 45 days, with a follow-up hearing scheduled for September 28.
- The rapper has faced several legal challenges in recent years, and this settlement resolves one of many disputes. Ye has previously settled with other former employees and Donda Academy staff over workplace misconduct claims.
