Judge rules in favor of former employee in lawsuit against Kanye West's Donda Academy

A judge has ruled in favor of Isaiah Meadows, a former assistant principal at Kanye West's private school, granting a default judgment in his lawsuit for wrongful termination and unpaid wages. The school, now known as Donda Academy, failed to respond to the lawsuit. Meadows alleged that he raised health and safety concerns at the school, including issues with a classroom skylight and exposed electrical wires. He claimed he was fired without explanation after his salary was cut and he was demoted. Donda Academy has faced multiple lawsuits since 2023, alleging a hostile work environment and various safety issues. The school closed in October 2022 and has not reopened since June 2024, according to state records.
