She alleges that West sent her lewd messages, performed sexual acts on the phone, and trapped her on his plane. Hired in 2021, she was initially allowed to maintain her OnlyFans account but was later asked to delete it for additional payment, which she claims was never received. Pisciotta also alleges unpaid severance after being fired in 2022. West, previously accused of showing pornographic material to staff, has a history of controversies, including antisemitic comments and lawsuits for racial discrimination and unauthorized music sampling.
