Lauren Pisciotta, who worked with Kanye West, has alleged that the singer has drugged her and sexually assaulted her amid a recording segment with co-host Sean “Diddy” Combs. These allegations are detailed in a recent lawsuit and result from an earlier studio gathering incident, as per court documentation that TMZ obtained.

As per Pisciotta, West’s team told her that everybody at the recording session had to have drinks if they wished to be there. Pisciotta accuses that she started to experience disorientation after having a drink that a studio assistant served her at the behest of West. She also stated that she does not remember what transpired later but felt "immense shame and embarrassment" after waking up from sleep the morning after. However, according to the lawsuit, West told Pisciotta that they kind of had sex that night.

Earlier this year, Pisciotta filed a lawsuit where she accused the singer and occasional actor of wrongful termination, unpaid wages, and sexual harassment. However, West's legal representation has refuted the accusations and claimed that Pisciotta was trying to extort the rapper for her material gains.

The rapper's legal team has expressed their intention to litigate Pisciotta for false allegations and blackmail, as they called it.
