Kanye West is being sued for $150 million by a former Yeezy employee who claims he subjected her to religious discrimination, sexual harassment, and retaliation
Kanye West is facing a $150 million lawsuit from a former employee in his Yeezy company, who alleges that the rapper subjected her to religious discrimination, sexual harassment, and retaliation, The Mirror U.S. reported. The suit, which is anticipated to be filed shortly, states that the anonymous complainant, known only as Jane Doe, received “graphic and grotesque” text messages from West, which purportedly included profanity, sexually explicit, and antisemitic comments.
According to the lawsuit, after disclosing these text messages to her superiors, the plaintiff was fired by Yeezy. As stated by her attorney, “It is time that Mr. West is held accountable for his actions toward his female employees in front of a jury.” The former employee said she endured grave implications as a result of being harassed and thus was prescribed an anxiety medication. It was reported that the hip-hop superstar simply ignored all pleas for a private resolution.
Text messages as evidence are expected to make this case a highly publicized legal war.
