With a 2025 trial looming after indictment on federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution, Diddy has not only seen his personal and professional reputation tarnished as a result of the accusations but now it seems those close to him are feeling the fire as well.
Lauren Pisciotta – the former personal assistant of Kanye West who worked with him from 2021-2022 – alleged the ‘Vultures‘ star drugged and sexually assaulted her during a studio session co-hosted by Diddy (born Sean Combs).
Combs is not listed as a defendant in Pisciotta’s suit.
The new accusations come as an amendment to her recent wrongful termination suit against West in which she asserted the GRAMMY winner subjected her to harassment via pornographic photos and explicit texts before her employment was abruptly brought to an end.
Detailing her latest claims, Pisciotta says West served her a laced drink with “an unidentifiable drug” during a studio session in Santa Monica that left her “disoriented after a few small sips.
“As the plaintiff began to slip into an altered and heavily impaired state, she felt less in control of her body and speech, and that is where plaintiff’s memories of that night escape her,” the updated complaints reads.
Some time later, Pisciotta says West admitted they “did kind of hook up a little one time,” suggesting he was referring to the evening in Santa Monica.
“Women love to say they don’t remember,” she says Kanye replied after she admitted she had no recollection of the alleged sexual encounter.
Lauren also asserts this isn’t the first time she was subject to the rapper-fashion mogul’s sexual misconduct.
In July 2021, Pisciotta alleges West entered her hotel room and “attempted to forcefully thrust his naked body onto and penis into Plaintiff’s face” despite “her pleas to stop.” According to the plaintiff, he later acknowledged and apologized for this incident.
While Kanye has yet to make a public statement about Lauren’s latest claims, a legal representative for the 47-year-old not only denied Ms. Pisciotta’s initial set of allegations but also promised that the rapper-fashion mogul will be filing his own lawsuit against her.
