Lauren Pisciotta, Kanye West's former assistant, has filed an 88-page lawsuit accusing him of drugging and raping her at a party co-hosted by Sean Combs. The incident allegedly occurred years ago, causing her lasting trauma. Pisciotta claims that guests at the party were pressured to drink beverages served by West. She reported feeling impaired after consuming a drink and waking up confused the next day. The lawsuit does not accuse Combs of wrongdoing. This lawsuit follows a previous one filed by Pisciotta against West for wrongful termination and sexual assault. She states that she only recognized the assault years later while working for West, who has faced multiple allegations of misconduct.
