Kanye West has claimed that he is being extorted, following accusations of sexual assault from a former assistant.

A lawsuit was filed against the rapper last June, when ex-assistant Lauren Pisciotta sued him for sexual harassment and wrongful termination. She worked for Ye between 2021 and 2022.

Court documents obtained by Page Six at the time claimed he created a hostile work environment by sending multiple inappropriate text messages during her employment. She also accused West of locking her in a room with him and masturbating next to her, amongst other instances of alleged sexual harassment.

West responded to the claims in a statement made to Rolling Stone via his legal representative, calling Pisciotta’s accusations “baseless”, and announcing he planned to countersue.

In the updated lawsuit in October, Pisciotta claimed that West drugged and raped her while they were at a party held by disgraced rap mogul Diddy. She also claimed that the rapper told her the truth about what took place on the night, before firing her towards the end of 2022 (via Far Out).

Now, West has taken to X/Twitter to call out people who he thinks are attempting to extort him, claiming that they will run out of money before he does when it comes to pursuing legal action.

“For anyone who [ever] wants to try to extort me you will [run] out of money before I do,” he said in a new post. “I’m already ‘the bad guy’ . I don’t give a fuckkk please anybody else pleeeeease on my mama pleeeeeeaassee pleeeeaase.”

He continued, directly referring to Pisciotta and alleging that she had sexual relations with numerous basketball players.

“I don’t go one year without somebody trying this shit. Where the fuck is lauren pisciota [sic] now? That bitch tried and failed and her lawyers dropped her. I’m with whateveeeerrrrrr,” he wrote. “You know why I never fucked lauren pisciota [sic] cause she smellt akward and half the nba can attest to that. Lauren if you out there I got one piece of advice, freeze your eggs cause nobody wants them.”

When another user pointed out that he misspelt her name, the rapper responded: “She don’t deserve to get her name spelled right.”

As highlighted by Far Out, the rapper seemingly addressed the lawsuit with Pisciotta in a separate X/Twitter rant earlier this month. “REAL RAPE IS DIFFERENT THAN SOME ATTRACTIVE INCOMPETENT BITCH WEARING TIGHT ASS PANTS TO WORK AND KEEPING RECEIPTS TO EXTORT THEIR BOSS SOMEDAY,” he wrote.

This is a developing story.
