Kanye West and his former personal assistant, Lauren Pisciotta, have reached an out-of-court settlement after she accused and sued him for sexual harassment. Recall that Lauren filed the lawsuit against the rapper in 2024, and fans have been reacting.
According to court documents filed in a Los Angeles court on July 28, the parties reached an “unconditional” settlement on July 23.
The filing states that a request to dismiss the case will be submitted within 45 days of the settlement date.
In her lawsuit, Pisciotta had alleged that Kanye masturbated in her presence and sexually assaulted her during a stay at a hotel.
