Pending Sexual Assault Charges
Kanye West, who had been in Japan and keeping a low profile with his wife, Bianca Censori, following allegations of sexual assault made by his former assistant, had returned to Los Angeles ahead of the 67th Grammy Awards. The couple's appearance at the event also sparked controversy due to Bianca's 'nude' outfit, leading to the pair being kicked out of the Grammys.
Lawsuit Details
In June 2024, West’s former assistant, Lauren Pisciotta, who worked for him from 2021 to 2022, filed a lawsuit accusing him of sexual harassment and wrongful termination. She later amended the suit to include allegations of sexual assault.

According to the lawsuit, Pisciotta and a female artist were invited to a recording studio in Santa Monica, where they were allegedly served alcohol. She claims that West "drugged and raped" her, stating that she was in a "highly impaired state" shortly after consuming the drink.
West is also facing multiple lawsuits from former employees, with allegations ranging from workplace misconduct to contract disputes. He has strongly denied all accusations against him.
