Kanye West Ex-Staffer Seeking $100K in Legal Fees for ‘Frivolous' Effort to Block Lawsuit
A former Yeezy staffer who says Kanye West subjected her to a 'calculated campaign' of antisemitic and sexual harassment says she was forced to spend nearly $100,000 in legal fees fighting his failed attempt to dismiss her lawsuit – and he should be on the hook for the full amount. The marketing specialist, who sued in February as a Jane Doe, claims her turbulent tenure working for Yeezy in late 2023 and 2024 was filled with verbal abuse, discrimination, and 'constant degradation of women.' She claims West, also known as Ye, sent her harassing texts reading, 'Welcome to the first day of working for Hitler,' and 'Hail Hitler,' before her abrupt termination when she reported West's behavior to her manager. She further claims West once texted her a photo of a nude woman and ordered her to work on his Yeezy Porn venture against her wishes.

In April, he filed his motion to strike the complaint, claiming the ex-staffer was trying to 'suppress' his constitutionally protected right to artistic expression. 'Ye is not merely a creator; he is art,' the filing said. 'Ye's public and private personas form a continuous, provocative performance that challenges societal taboos surrounding race, religion, gender, power, politics, and censorship.' A Los Angeles County judge denied West's motion in a June 30 ruling. Judge Theresa M. Traber said the motion was 'rife with defects, specious arguments, and misstatements of law.' She said the declarations West submitted from alleged witnesses, including one from West's self-described chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, were 'totally lacking in personal knowledge or proper foundation upon which to base their asserted opinions.' In her scathing ruling, Judge Traber said the motion was 'frivolous and/or solely intended to cause unnecessary delay,' so West was on the hook to pay for Doe's 'reasonable' attorney's fees and costs. The woman is now asking for $99,720. A hearing to determine the fairness of that amount is set for Sept. 12. West's lawyers did not respond to a request for comment on the amount. They are appealing the ruling that upheld the lawsuit. In a failed filing last month that sought to disqualify the judge, they said Jane Doe 'voluntarily entered a provocative creative environment' and later tried to reframe West's creative expression as 'unlawful,' in an alleged violation of West's First Amendment right to free speech. The rapper, meanwhile, has been sued more than a dozen times since his initial, highly public antisemitic tirade nearly three years ago. In October 2022, West tweeted his now-infamous plan to 'go death con 3 ON JEWISH PEOPLE.' Weeks later, Rolling Stone published an investigation that found West presided over a 'toxic' work environment at his Yeezy label, telling one staffer that 'skinheads and Nazis were his greatest inspiration.' West later apologized in an Instagram post written in Hebrew, but he again promoted antisemitic ideology, sporting a T-shirt for the Norwegian metal musician Burzum, who has been fined for antisemitism. West also promoted Vultures 1 with artwork that evoked Burzum's cover art. 'Ye waged a relentless and deliberate campaign of antisemitism and misogyny against my client,' Jane Doe's attorney, Carney Shegerian of Shegerian & Associates, said in a statement last February. 'His appalling treatment of women and fixation on Nazism, evident in abusive texts where he repeatedly calls himself Hitler, expose his motives. We need to stop excusing Ye's behavior. As a father, husband, and employer, he must be held accountable. Ye dared my client to sue, and we will see him in court.' West's visa to Australia was revoked last month in the aftermath of his single titled 'Heil Hitler,' which he released in May.

Iggy Azalea Said Kanye West Asked About Her Boyfriend's Private Parts The First Time They Met, And Things Allegedly Got Weirder
During a recent live stream on the popular Kick app, Iggy Azalea made some shocking allegations about her first time meeting Kanye "Ye" West. On Friday, clips from the stream began circulating online and eventually made their way to X (rightfully known as Twitter). Iggy claimed having a business meeting with Ye in 2012 when she was 22 years old after her management team received a call from his team about potentially signing her. This marked their first encounter with each other. In one clip, the Australian rapper, whose real name is Amethyst Amelia Kelly, alleged the conversation turned sexual when Ye admitted to doing intimate things while looking at pictures of her. "It's kind of weird," Iggy said. "I just met this guy five minutes ago, and I'm supposed to be in a business meeting. Super weird. I've been in a lot of label meetings at that time and they're all professional, so this was just weird to me." "I really looked up to Kanye, so it threw me off. I didn't know what to say, so I was like, 'Oh, that's interesting to think that someone that I really look up to looks at my pictures every morning for inspiration. That's kind of cool." His alleged response made Iggy immediately change her mind — "He was like, 'Yeah, I jack off to them.' WEIRD! Don't know what to say. Weird." The conversation then transitioned to Iggy's dating life, where Kanye's alleged comments became more intrusive and inappropriate. "He was like, 'But you've got a boyfriend, right?' I'm like, yes, I have a boyfriend. He was like, 'How big is his dick?' Not kidding you." The "Fancy" rapper claimed that Ye insisted that she didn't have to answer that question after assuring Iggy that he somehow already knew her man was well endowed. "Bruh," she continued. "Why are you asking about other men's dicks? Weird of you. He was like, 'I know it is [big]. You gotta let your boyfriend fuck as many different girls as he can, cuz if you got a big dick then it's his god-given right to fuck as many women.'" In another viral clip, Iggy opened up about the alleged entrepreneurial dreams Ye shared with her, including his own porn company called DONDA (named after his late mother). Outside of the name change, this confirms recent reports about Ye's Yeezy Porn ventures. According to Iggy, he also had dreams of putting a Ferrari spin on Toyotas. The clips eventually reached Ye, and he confirmed Iggy's stories by tweeting, "This is true." Today, Ye's account has completely been wiped clean of all of his past tweets. He also unfollowed everyone. How do you feel about Iggy's meeting with Ye? Watch the clips below and share your thoughts in the comments!
