Kanye West, now known as Ye, is facing a lawsuit from a former employee who claims he was tasked with investigating Kim Kardashian and her family. The plaintiff, referred to as "John Doe," alleges that Ye threatened him during his employment, which began in late 2022 when he was hired as Ye's "deputy campaign director."
His role later evolved into "director of intelligence," where he was instructed to look into various conspiracy theories about the Kardashian family, including supposed criminal connections.
Allegations of Erratic Behavior and Threats
The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles on October 7, 2024, details how Ye allegedly directed Doe to hire private investigators to "tail" his current wife, Bianca Censori, without her knowledge. The complaint also highlights Ye's erratic behavior during this time, which Doe attributes to Ye's reported use of nitrous oxide.
Doe claims that after he reported allegations of child abuse at Ye's Donda Academy, he received threats from the rapper. According to the lawsuit, Ye yelled at him over the phone, saying, "You're f***ing dead to me!" and played recordings of threatening voices. The plaintiff asserts that these experiences caused him significant emotional distress and worsened his PTSD.
Seeking Damages
In the lawsuit, Doe is seeking over seven figures in punitive and compensatory damages for emotional distress and unpaid wages. He claims that Ye's actions have had a profound impact on his mental health and financial stability.
Broader Legal Troubles
This lawsuit adds to Ye's growing list of legal challenges. He has faced multiple lawsuits from former employees regarding workplace misconduct and other allegations. As the situation unfolds, it raises serious questions about accountability in the entertainment industry
.
Ye’s representatives have not yet responded to the allegations. As this case develops, it will be interesting to see how it impacts both his personal life and career.
