The singer issues a response to these allegations.
Earlier this month, Kanye West found himself embroiled in a new controversy
when his former assistant Lauren Pisciotta filed a civil lawsuit against him.
The lawsuit detailed wrongful termination, breach of contract, hostile work environment,and workplace harassment.
The singer quickly responded to these allegations, denying them all and presenting his own side of the whole argument.
How did Kanye West respond to the allegations made against him?
Kanye West and his team were swift in their response to the various allegations made by the rapper’s former assistant. The Stronger singer threatened to counter-sue Lauren Pisciotta and even alleged that it was Pisciotta who tried to coerce and manipulate him and when that didn’t work resorted to blackmail.
The Gold Digger singer’s team has also claimed that Pisciotta had also used coercion to ask for expensive gifts like a Lamborghini, luxury bags, and even Plastic Surgery. The documents for these expenses are also reportedly with Kanye West’s team to be shown in court.
Kanye West’s legal team has also claimed that Pisciotta has made repeated demands of a compensation of $50 million to $60 million. Kanye’s team has also claimed that once Pisciotta’s lawsuit of unlawful termination didn’t gain enough media traction, she resorted to issuing false claims of assault and misconduct in order to grab sensational headlines and build pressure.
