Ye has reportedly reached a settlement in the sexual assault lawsuit filed by his former assistant, Lauren Pisciotta. She filed suit in 2024, accusing Ye of sexual harassment and alleging he repeatedly made unwanted sexual advances, sent explicit text messages and exposed himself to her during a private flight. The lawsuit was later expanded to include allegations of sexual assault and sex trafficking. The filing alleged Ye used promises of career advancement alongside intimidation and retaliation to pressure her into complying with his sexual demands. After the amended lawsuit was filed, his representatives dismissed the claims as "outrageous" and "demonstrably false."
