Kanye West, former assistant settle sexual harassment case
American rapper Kanye West and his former personal assistant, Lauren Pisciotta, have settled out of court in a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against him in 2024.
Court documents filed in a Los Angeles court on Tuesday showed that both parties reached an unconditional settlement on July 23.
The filing indicated that a request to dismiss the case will be submitted within 45 days of the settlement date.
However, the terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
The Voice Media Trust (VMT NEWS) reports that Pisciotta had sued West in 2024 alleging that she was dismissed from her role after the rapper sent her numerous sexually explicit text messages and videos.

She claimed that one of the messages contained graphic sexual content as he accused him of masturbating in her presence and sexually assaulting her during a stay at a hotel.
She further alleged that the rapper drugged her during a studio session she claimed was co hosted by convicted music mogul, Sean “Diddy” Combs.
West has consistently denied the allegations of sexual misconduct and the agreement marks the latest development in the high profile legal dispute which drew widespread public attention after the lawsuit was filed.
The case is expected to be formally dismissed once the relevant court documents are filed in line with the settlement agreement.
