In a lawsuit, Lauren Pisciotta alleges the star sent her lewd texts and performed sex acts while on the phone with her, according to US media.
She claims she was fired in 2022, but that a $3 million (£2.4 million) severance package was never paid.
The BBC has contacted West’s lawyer for a response to her allegations, but has yet to receive a reply.
The lawsuit was first reported in the US by TMZ, and later confirmed by Rolling Stone, The Wrap and US Weekly, which says court papers were filed on Monday in the US.
I don’t know, anyone who loves Hitler can’t be all bad, can they?
The only thing that I can appreciate about Trump is that growing up, I could not fathom how people were swayed into supporting that regime. I thought there’s no way that type of propaganda can work on that many people. Well unfortunately I can now.
Sinclair Lewis wrote a book about the U.S. becoming a fascist dictatorship by electing a populist demagogue in 1935!

People have been warning about this since before WWII and, unfortunately, it’s taken this long for people to listen. I just hope it isn’t too late.
Surprisingly enough, I recently said the same thing to someone. Now I know, the Cult of Personality is real.
Lol read our usernames, true
You still can’t fathom it. Trump is a completely different phenomenon.
If something like Hitler in a similar socio-political situation happens, you will support it.
woah is that apologia
No, just my assessment of neurotypical people in relation to Hitlers.
wait what. I’m fairly neurotypical, are you saying the only thing between me and being a Nazi is seeing Hitler’s beautiful visage?
Maybe some self-discipline too, which in most is insufficient to resist a Hitler that tells what you want to hear.
And you would be resistant to someone telling you what you want to hear why?
I won’t, but they likely won’t bother
Sorry… you’re saying the only non-Nazis are neurodivergent?
No. Just that nd people are less vulnerable.
I have no idea why you think that. Do you have any evidence for it or is this just a guess on your part?
Less social - less vulnerable to Nazis, communists etc. Seems to be a simple connection
I don’t think so. People communicate more freely than ever, and have access to history more than they ever have. There isn’t a problem that will come up that will suddenly make me want to assist in genocide.
What made you think so? My impression is that they communicate more freely in Jules Verne’s books than now. That’s about the Web and not even my environment.
And the fact that it doesn’t help should hint you.
“Suddenly” is moving the goalposts. Of course you’ll be prepared.
There were people that saw the writing on the wall then, and there will be more that see the writing on the wall now is my point.
Yeah, there are. Only this is not about Trump or anything as simple to call Hitler.
Idk what you’re getting at
At evil usually being smarter than the average person who thinks they can see future. I don’t
