Kanye West has reached a settlement with his former assistant, Lauren Pisciotta, who accused the artist of sexual assault, sex trafficking, and wrongful termination.
The settlement was reached on July 23, according to court documents obtained by USA Today , and Pisciotta must now file a dismissal request within 45 days. The terms of the deal have not been disclosed. When addressing the settlement, Pisciotta's attorney, Arick Fudali, told the publication, "The matter has been resolved."
A representative for West did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
In June 2024, Pisciotta — who worked for West from 2021 to 2023 — sued the rapper , claiming sexual harassment, breach of contract, and wrongful termination. In a previous statement to Rolling Stone , West's legal representative called Pisciotta's allegations "baseless" and accused her of engaging in "blackmail and extortion" after he rejected her sexual advances.
"She was terminated for being unqualified, demanding unreasonable sums of money (including a $4 million annual salary) and numerous documented incidents of her lascivious, unhinged conduct," the statement sent by West's publicist claimed.
