A former Yeezy staffer has sued Kanye West, claiming the rapper targeted her because she’s Jewish, sent her pornographic materials, and insulted her looks when he was upset. The woman, who is suing under a pseudonym, alleges that her six-month stint working for West was chaotic and ended with her abrupt dismissal after reporting his offensive behavior to her manager.
The lawsuit lists 12 causes of action against West, including whistleblower retaliation, wrongful termination, discrimination, and harassment. She is seeking damages to be determined at a jury trial. The woman claims she joined West’s team as a marketing specialist in December 2023 and was fired the next day after receiving taunting texts from West.
The lawsuit comes amid another public meltdown by West, who has been making antisemitic comments and promoting Nazi imagery on his social media platforms. His recent promotion for an upcoming album has sparked criticism, with his lawyers calling it “bullying” behavior. The former staffer claims she was targeted because of her Jewish heritage and received abusive texts from West, including one that read “Come ‘destroy me bitch’.”
