Kanye West is ‘evading’ being served with a bombshell lawsuit accusing him of raping his former assistant at a Diddy party and other disturbing crimes.
Influencer and former OnlyFans star Lauren Pisciotta sued West for allegedly raping, sexually harassing, and stalking her while she worked for him in 2021-22.
She detailed West’s alleged sick sexual obsessions, and his fetish for also wanting to sleep with his targets’ mothers – including his wife Bianca Censori’s mother.
The lawsuit delves into his infamous sex parties and the full horror of his neo-Nazi views that included hate-filled rants and forcing staff to draw swastikas.
She also claimed West promised to pay her a $4 million a year salary, bragged about it to Jay-Z, then wrongfully fired her and reneged on a $3 million severance payout.
West denied the claims, calling them ‘baseless’ and accused her of ‘blackmail and extortion’, but has yet to file a defense or even be served with the lawsuit.
A new filing by Pisciotta’s lawyer Mark Koorenny in Los Angeles Superior Court accused West of trying to avoid facing the allegations.
The document stated the disgraced rapper was ‘out of the country’ and ‘evading service’ of the lawsuit, which stalled progress of the case.

West has been keeping a lower profile in Japan with Censori since at least June – when the lawsuit was first filed – claiming to be working on a new album.
Censori was spotted shopping in LA last week, but was without her husband who hasn’t been seen on US soil in many months.
Koorenny wrote in the procedural document that as West was evading being served, he would ask the court to allow the case to proceed anyway.
‘Plaintiff will apply to the court ex parte in early December 2024 with a declaration regarding attempted service and the request to serve via publication,’ he wrote.
Serving via publication involves publishing the lawsuit in a newspaper or elsewhere that the defendant is likely to see it or be notified by someone who does.
Courts are usually reluctant to allow it, and require strong reasons why it is the only option of notifying the defendant they are being sued.
Given the exhaustive press coverage of Pisciotta’s lawsuit, and West’s statements denying its allegations, her lawyers likely stand a better chance of the court granting the request.

They asked for a 60-day continuance to publish the lawsuit, and expected to complete discovery and depositions by October next year.
The filing noted all of West’s Yeezy companies, which are based in the US and sued alongside the rapper himself, were served and a plea was expected soon after December 3.
West may finally be returning from Japan full time after buying an enormous 11-bedroom, 18-bathroom 20,000sqft mansion in Beverley Hills for $35 million.
Sources claimed he bought the mansion as a last-ditch effort to save his marriage as Censori was sick of aimlessly wandering the world and wanted to be ‘grounded’.
West is also facing lawsuits claiming he had Censori followed by private investigators while she was overseas, and that he ‘gagged’ and choked America’s Next Top Model alumna Jenn An until she blacked out during a music video shoot.

‘Drugged and raped’ future assistant
Pisciotta’s most serious claim was that years before she worked for him, he drugged and raped her – only allegedly confessing in his last weeks as her boss.
She claimed she met West when he invited her client, a musician, to a studio session and party he co-hosted with his friend Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
West announced that everyone at the event at the Santa Monica studio had to drink if they wanted to stay, and she was handed a beverage by West himself.
Pisciotta after a few sips ‘suddenly started to feel disorientated and… began to slip into an altered and highly impaired state’, the lawsuit read.
‘She felt less in control of her body and speech and that is where [her] memories of the night escape her,’ it claimed.
The next day, she felt ‘ashamed and embarrassed’ that she couldn’t remember the evening and her musician client refused to discuss what happened.
Pisciotta claimed she only learned years later why her client ‘was too traumatized and disturbed to speak about that night’.
Pisciotta most serious claim was that years before she worked for him, he drugged and raped her – only allegedly confessing in his last weeks as her boss
After years of believing she was drugged by a studio assistant but escaped without being molested, she allegedly learned the truth from West.
She claimed that not long before he fired her in November 2022, he was enraged about a comment his ex-wife made about him and Pisciotta having an affair while he was still married.
The ex-wife’s name was withheld in the lawsuit, but West’s only wife besides Censori was Kim Kardashian, who divorced him earlier in 2022.
Pisciotta told West she wanted to send Kardashian a text to clear things up with her, as it ‘appeared she was under the wrong impression’ about them.
However, she claimed West told her she couldn’t send a message denying they were ever intimate, due to what happened at the Santa Monica party.
‘We did kind of hook up a little one time,’ the lawsuit claimed West told her.
‘[West] then immediately proceeded to reminisce about the time he was referring to… where he “hooked up” with [Pisciotta] after she had been drugged,’ the lawsuit claimed.
Pisciotta claimed West had told Kardashian they ‘hooked up’ but ‘left out the true nature and severity of what he did to [her]’.
Had Kardashian ‘been told the truth and known [Pisciotta] was in fact drugged and sexually assaulted by Kanye West’ she would never have made the comment, the lawsuit claimed.
A shocked Pisciotta claimed she told West she had no memory of the night, and he laughed, saying ‘women love to say they don’t remember’, then changed the subject.

Pisciotta also claimed he relentlessly tried to have sex with her again, and when she always refused he almost raped her a second time.
She claimed this was the worst incident in a pattern of extreme sexual harassment including groping, vile texts, and sick fantasies.
The lawsuit stated she was staying at the St Regis Hotel in San Francisco working on the Donda album in July 2021 and claimed West banged on her door at 6am a few days into the trip, waking her up.
Pisciotta claimed he asked to use her shower as his was broken, but minutes later dropped the towel and forcefully pushed her onto the bed, then climbed on top of her.
‘Ye then stepped onto the bed and stood tall, straddling himself over [Pisciotta’s] body and looking down on her,’ the lawsuit claimed.
‘[Pisciotta], in a shocked state, somewhat braced herself for what might happen next.’
The lawsuit claimed West reached for the wall behind the bed’s headboard to brace himself as he leaned closer to her.
‘He attempted to forcefully thrust his naked body onto and penis into [Pisciotta’s] face,’ the lawsuit continued.
‘[Pisciotta] started to move her body to get up, pleading with West to stop. West removed his hand from the wall behind the headboard, forcing [Pisciotta] to stay in place.
‘At first, [West] ignored [Pisciotta’s] pleas to stop, [Pisciotta] stated over and over again to West “I don’t want to do this, I don’t want to do this.’
She claimed the drugging and raping was revealed when his ex-wife accused them of having an affair. The ex-wife’s name was withheld in the lawsuit, but West’s only wife besides Censori was Kim Kardashian (pictured together in 2019), who divorced him earlier in 2022
After a few minutes, West ‘grew annoyed and tired’ of her ‘objections to him thrusting his penis into her face and closed mouth’ that only willingly opened when she top him to stop, the lawsuit claimed.
Pisciotta claimed West attacked her at a Post Malone concert in Inglewood, California, on November 13, 2022, weeks after she was fired.
She claimed as soon as West was close enough to her, he ‘firmly placed his hand around the front of [Pisciotta’s] throat and neck, squeezed tight, and aggressively pulled her by the throat into his chest’.
He then said into her ear: ‘I always knew what I would do to you if I ever saw you again.’
Pisciotta claimed he then squeezed her throat harder and stuck his tongue into her ear and ‘moved it around’.
Depraved West ‘told Bianca Censori he wanted sex with her mother’
Pisciotta’s lawsuit claimed West’s true nature was ‘predatory, aggressive, compulsive, vulgar, perverse, and frighteningly calculative’.
It called him a ‘premeditative and sadistic groomer’ who used his fame and position to feed his ‘insatiable sexual gratification’ and ‘animalistic desires’ that have ‘little boundaries’.
The lawsuit claimed he often had sex with employees and a ‘rotating list of guests’ in his Yeezy company’s offices.
Employees were ordered to construct makeshift bedrooms consisting of a mattress on the floor, pillows and a blanket in a room or even just a closet.
He also used the staff bathrooms and changing rooms, the lawsuit claimed.
West had a ‘kink’ for wanting to have sex with mothers of his sexual targets, as well as them, which he frequently talked about, the lawsuit claimed.

He allegedly sent Pisciotta a screenshot on September 28, 2022, of a text conversation between him and Censori about wanting to have sex with her mother.
‘i wanna f**k your mum. Before she leaves,’ he wrote, the lawsuit claimed.
According to the filing, he asked Pisciotta: ‘Should I add I meant I want you to watch me f**k your mom’.
Another time, he allegedly texted Pisciotta on September 13, 2022, about an ‘A-list fashion model’ he was ‘determined’ to have sex with, and requested she model for his sunglasses campaign.
‘Is [young A-list fashion model] better for me than [different A-list fashion model]? How do I tell her I need to f**k her mom baaad’.
Another time on June 14, 2022, he allegedly texted her about a sexual encounter with a model.
‘I feel like you could be a spectator… I just feel like she needs an audience. A beautiful audience lol,’ he wrote in a text, the lawsuit claimed.
The lawsuit claimed West ‘asked Bianca Censori and other female guests to perform oral sex on him and his male guests in the office changing room’
One time, Pisciotta informed him of a delay with Japanese work visas, and she claimed he replied with a bizarre string of texts.
‘So I’ll come back to LA. I do wanna see my kids,’ he wrote, before reverting to type.
‘Aaaaaaaaand there’s soooo much p***y in LA I may rent a room, take the honey pack, drink some tequila and just take appointments,’ he allegedly added.
‘I’m a great guy and dad. But I love bad b***hes and I love to f**k the s**t outa bad b***hes and make them fall in love too.’
‘Sex trafficking’ girls from around the world and wild sex parties
Pisciotta claimed Kanye used his connections at companies like Adidas and Gap to get work visas to traffic women into the US for sex.
They were given ‘obscure job titles’ at his companies and had them sign NDAs about their experiences.
But he was ‘brazenly open’ with Pisciotta and other staff about it, giving them ‘grotesque details’ and always filmed it so they could ‘get the full picture’, the lawsuit claimed.
The lawsuit claimed West often ‘offered up’ his sexual partners, employees, and women he trafficked as ‘gifts’ to his friends and colleagues, both to ‘make himself look and feel cool’ and to gain an upper hand in business negotiations.
One was called a ‘gift straight from Russia’.
Pisciotta claimed he tried to ‘gift’ her too, but without success – including one time that the man he offered her to, an A-list celebrity, warned her about it.
Pisciotta also claimed West promised to pay her a $4 million a year salary, then wrongfully fired her and reneged on a $3 million severance payout
The lawsuit detailed how West frequently hosted sex parties at hotels like the Nobu Ryokan Malibu hotel, Beverly Hills Waldorf Astoria and San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, California.
She claimed he made up elaborate schemes to lure her and other women there, usually claiming he needed something.
Often it was ‘sex honey’, a sexual enhancement product he allegedly took and required Pisciotta to always have ample supply on hand.
She claimed he once openly admitted his plan was for her to bring him some so he could involve her in one of the parties.
He texted her, ‘Aaaaaand yeah I wanted you to bring honey and stay but it didn’t work lol. What you want for your bday’, the lawsuit claimed.
The lawsuit claimed West had ‘ever changing moods’ that meant he would either respond to her shutting down his advances and invitations to sex parties with offers of luxurious gifts, or ‘intense anger and frustration’ and assignments that were difficult or impossible, just to punish her.
West was an ‘anti-Semitic bully’
West’s career infamously went into freefall when he began spouting anti-Semitic hate speech and self-identified as a neo-Nazi.
This began on October 8, 2022, when he tweeted: ‘I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE.’
He added: ‘The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also. You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.’
Pisciotta’s lawsuit revealed what she claimed were the events leading up to this outburst, and how it began his escalating bigotry toward Jews.
West had demanded ‘the biggest hotel suite in LA’ but none of the places she knew he liked were available.
Pisciotta called their real estate adviser, who called in a favor to secure a last-minute five-star penthouse in West Hollywood.
Kanye West’s descent into anti-Semitism began on October 8, 2022, when he tweeted: ‘I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE.’

But just 10 minutes after arriving, Kanye stormed out of the hotel calling Pisciotta in a rage, claiming the room was ‘trash’.
‘Of course [real estate adviser] got him that trash hotel room with light blue walls, because that is something a Jew would do,’ the lawsuit claimed he told her.
West then called her again, from the car, to go on a vile anti-Jewish rant, the lawsuit claimed. Later that night he sent the infamous anti-Semitic tweet.
Afterwards, he called Pisciotta and got her to read the tweet back to him, because it turned him on, the lawsuit claimed.
West sent her numerous other anti-Semitic texts detailed in the lawsuit, many extremely vile and disturbing.
The lawsuit claimed West’s bigotry got even worse after he abruptly ended his partnership with Gap and left the shared office.
He move Yeezy into one upstairs from an American Apparel factory in South Central LA at the behest of his good friend, the company’s founder.
The lawsuit didn’t name him but explained he was forced to step down from his former company and was ‘serially accused of sexual harassment and misconduct’.
They ‘shared a passion for sex’ and promptly set up Kanye’s office sex bedrooms,’ the lawsuit claimed.
As soon as the company moved in, West gathered all the staff, and ‘gave a long-winded, anti-Semitic, racially charged, threatening hate-speech’.
‘He took heavy breaths and aggressively expressed his love and admiration for the “genius” Adolf Hitler,’ the lawsuit claimed.

‘Kayne West went on to announce his infatuation with Nazis and the holocaust, as well as his utter hatred for very specific Jewish people, especially the Jewish people who were currently in power in the music industry, among many other things.’
He concluded his rant by declaring he was ‘at war with Jews’.
Immediately after the speech he berated a young, newly hired graphic designer to draw a swastika, which he declined – but West insisted and bullied him, saying it was a ‘test’ and asked if he was Jewish,’ the lawsuit claimed.
The designer stood up to West and said he’d read about the Holocaust and couldn’t accept the request.
West allegedly demanded he draw it or he would be fired on the spot, and eventually the designer gave in, as West stood over him and watched.
West then instructed him to begin rendering a new Yeezy logo that ‘he desired to be inspired by and incorporate Hitler and the swastika symbol, according to the lawsuit.
He then moved on to passing around his phone to show everyone ‘the most offensive, disgusting, and vile sexual messages’ he sent to the editor-in-chief of the ‘most famous fashion publication in the world’.
The lawsuit claimed West often yelled ‘Heil Hitler!’ and performed Nazi salutes around the office.
He regularly compared himself to Hitler and a Nazi, the filing alleges. He ‘would ask employees and guests to reveal their practicing religion and, depending on their answer, they could be terminated or asked to leave for a specific amount of time’.
‘If anyone voiced their true concerns or verbally disagreed with [West] in any way, they would risk being humiliated and immediately “banned” and blacklisted.’
West spread hundreds of pieces of clothing across the floor of a large open space in the office, and had clothing designers draw swastikas on them, the lawsuit claimed.
He said his staff were ‘his army’ and ‘he was Hitler’.

West’s bipolar mood swings
West was diagnosed as bipolar, according to sources close to his family, which contributed to his mood swings and bizarre behavior.
Pisciotta’s lawsuit detailed how occasionally after one too many sex parties, he would ‘very briefly take stock of his disgraceful and illegal behavior and lifestyle, spend some time thinking about his family and his children and want to repent in some way’.
What followed were his ‘God like’ phases. He demanded there be no cursing, no alcohol, no sex, and all women around him be covered form head to toe so they wouldn’t ‘tempt’ him.
They never lasted long and his vices would return ‘with a vengeance’.
During one of these phases in August, Pisciotta’s lawsuit claimed he wanted her to delete her OnlyFans account as he felt it would make her ‘God like’ and he was also worried it would interfere with his campaign for US president.
Pisciotta in the lawsuit claimed West ‘constantly asked about her current and past sex life’ and insist on knowing intimate details
He then began to obsessively compare her to members of Donald Trump’s staff and told her she needed to be more like them, and told her to contact one of them to ‘give her tips’.
He said her OnlyFans ‘could be a reason he would not get elected’, but he admitted another reason was that it caused him too much temptation.
Pisciotta claimed she deleted it after he promised her an extra $1 million.
This was in contrast to when he would often brag about her OnlyFans account to professional business meetings when she entered.
Pisciotta claimed he said that she was not only ‘the smartest and hottest assistant of all time’ but also ‘a millionaire’ and ‘OnlyFans superstar’.
She claimed her social media and ‘tasteful’ OnlyFans earned her $1 million a year by themselves.
Promoted to chief of staff with $4 million salary
Central to the unfair dismissal part of Pisciotta’s lawsuit is her claim that West promoted her to his chief of staff with a $4 million salary.
Her lawsuit claimed this happened on September 13, 2022, and was so pleased he shared the news with many associates including his ‘good friend’ Jay-Z.
He sent Pisciotta a screenshot of the exchange, the lawsuit claimed.
‘Checking in. Pray all is well. I made Lauren Pisciotta chief of staff and I would like for [name withheld] to meet with her because I know she would relate,’ he wrote to Jay-Z, the lawsuit claimed.
Jay-Z replied: ‘Peace!!! All is well, wishing the same for you and yours!! Yeah thanks for that nod, that makes me smile!! Congrats!!!!’
The same day, Pisciotta claimed West he sent her a text confirming her salary: ‘I’m giving you a 3 million dollar raise… you are now my official chief of staff’.
However, even before this promotion, her salary came with a cost, both in workload and constant sexual harassment, she claimed.
Pisciotta claimed West told her he was turned on by the sound of her voice and often pleasured himself while on the phone to her, asking her if she could ‘hear or guess what he was doing’
She was to be available 24/7 and had to request time off to do literally anything including to sleep shower, or go to the doctor, and give him exhausting details about why.
One time, she asked to go to a Pilates class and he ‘was in a good mood’ so he said yes – but with an allegedly disgusting text.
He called Pisciotta his ‘therapist’ and often had her sit in silence while he ranted for hours on end.
West refused to carry a wallet, money, credit cards or even ID, so she had to make sure everything was paid everywhere he went.
Another time, West was so turned on by the leggings she once wore to work that he called them her ‘super pants’ and got her to buy them for women he wanted to sleep with.
Constant sexual harassment
Pisciotta detailed how West was allegedly obsessed with having sex with her, and tried many ruses and manipulations to woo her.
Not getting her frustrated him, but also thrilled and excited him – it became a game to him, she claimed.
West on June 15, 2022, complained in a text to Pisciotta: ‘I always get money. I never get Lauren’.
Pisciotta said she maintained a lucrative OnlyFans account until the summer of 2022, when West requested she get rid of it as he wanted her to have a ‘God Like’ image
On her birthday on August 17, 2022, he insisted she personally bring his passport to him at the Aman Hotel in New York City.
She claimed this was done because he only wanted her to spend her birthday with him, and he wanted a ‘hug’.
Many other sick texts and disturbing alleged incidents were described in her original lawsuit.
West was also sent ‘spinning into a hateful and frightening rage’ by as little as an employee wearing the wrong color, or an exclamation mark in a text message,’ the lawsuit claimed.
‘Ye is no stranger to bullying, harassment, public humiliation, tantrums, and other scare tactics,’ the lawsuit claimed.
‘He regularly, both publicly and privately, used/uses these tactics when interacting with Pisciotta, his family members, A-list celebrity female musicians, high-level public figures and executives, Chase Bank presidents and board members, people of the Jewish religion’ and former and current staff and executives at his companies and those of Adidas and Gap ‘to get what he wants’.

Pisciotta claimed A-list singers and rappers, along with Kanye’s friends and executives, were so concerned by seeing his behavior toward her that they asked if she was OK or needed help.
There were small windows where West wasn’t being abusive, or aggressively trying to woo her, that he appeared to give genuine praise.
Pisciotta used various examples as evidence that he valued her work enough to promote her to chief of staff with an enormous salary.
She claimed West referred to her as the ‘inspiration for Yeezy season 1’ in high-level business meetings.
One time, when a model he was relentlessly pursuing finally agreed to have dinner with him, he showed his appreciation – if in a disturbing way.
‘Hitting the restaurant with [model]. Thank you for always believing in me. I think you. My d**k thanks you. My brand thanks you,’ the lawsuit claimed he wrote.
An attorney for West did not immediately respond to the DailyMail.com’s request for comment regarding the recent filing.
