The star is accused of sending vulgar text messages and creating a hostile work environment.

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.

    Don’t look up all the problematic stuff that artists have done. It’s never ending. That’s because we don’t select artists because they’re good people, we select them because they make good art.

      Imo there is an enormous difference between personal moral failings, hell even personal acts of evil, and endorsing a hateful and toxic ideology.

      I don’t expect my artists to be paragons of personal virtue, but I absolutely am not okay supporting artists who are actively spreading hate.
