Lauren Pisciotta has expanded her lawsuit, alleging drugging, assault, coercion, and trafficking—claims that, if proven, could dramatically escalate legal consequences for the rapper.
July 10, 2025: Kanye West (legally Ye) is facing serious new allegations from his former assistant, Lauren Pisciotta, who recently filed an amended lawsuit accusing him of a series of shocking abuses—including sexual assault, drugging, sex trafficking, false imprisonment, and stalking.
Allegations Unveiled
Pisciotta claims that during her employment from 2021 to 2022, West not only sent graphic sexual texts and harassed her verbally, but also orchestrated a chilling episode during a studio session co-hosted by Sean “Diddy” Combs.
She alleges her drink was drugged, causing memory loss and disorientation.
In a later incident at a hotel room in San Francisco, she says West forcibly kissed her, masturbated in front of her, and made unwanted physical advances.
She further accuses him of entering her hotel room uninvited, forcing oral sex, and later referring to her as a “sexual gift” offered to another person.
These additions dramatically up the ante in a lawsuit already filed in June over sexual harassment, wrongful termination, unpaid compensation, and hostile work environment claims.
Legal Stakes & Industry Fallout
Pisciotta has filed this lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court, seeking damages and accountability. Her attorney, Lisa Bloom, says Pisciotta has faced harassment and threats, escalating safety concerns. If the trafficking allegations gain traction, they could intersect with broader federal sex trafficking laws and MeToo-era enforcement trends.
What Comes Next
West has not publicly responded to these newest accusations.
A pretrial conference for the case is reportedly scheduled for March 27.
Legal experts emphasize the high standard of proof required for trafficking claims, but caution that civil courts may weigh evidence differently than criminal proceedings.
Contextual Significance
These accusations align West with other major entertainment figures recently targeted by sexual misconduct and trafficking claims. The allegations, if validated, could mark a pivotal moment in celebrity accountability and workplace protections in the music industry.
The newly detailed lawsuit from Lauren Pisciotta accuses Kanye West of a disturbing pattern of abuse—ranging from drugging and sexual assault to coercion and trafficking. Now, the legal battle intensifies as she pushes for justice and the public awaits West’s formal response—and the court’s scrutiny of these explosive charges.
