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.

              Yeah, those antisocial loners are never useful for anything. Certainly not stuff like suicide bombing or mass shooting. Those are done by people who are the life of the party.

                Nazi ideology had a pretty collectivist cult of sacrifice, strength, loyalty etc, so why not.

                Other than that - motives for suicide bombings and mass shootings are usually directed against groups presenting themselves as any Nazis do when they have power.

                And such groups are deeply hostile to individual actions like a suicide bombing. Maybe for a few assassinations or as an excuse for some action - yes, but not as a system.

                    I think I know more about fascism than you, having been really interested in the subject in the past.

                    “Terrorism” as commonly used (suicide attacks etc) is, in fact, asymmetric warfare. And in emotion it’s an individual going against a mass. It’s the opposite of fascism.

                    “Terrorism” as Stalin’s repressions, or jailing random people for words, or police not touching violent groups harassing someone, etc - yes, these are normal for fascism.

                    I think this has been a long and monotonous exchange, so one question - what are you expecting to gain from this conversation? And another - could we please cut there?
