    Kanye West's ex-assistant feared she would be "silenced, blacklisted and retaliated against" if she went public with her claim he drugged and sexually assaulted her

    The rapper, 47, is said in a newly amended lawsuit from his former employees Lauren Pisciotta to have given her a drink "laced with an unidentified drug" before an alleged assault at a music session in Santa Monica, California, with Sean 'Diddy' Combs, 54, who is in jail in New York awaiting trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges


    Her legal papers say she allegedly had to be "extremely careful" in the way she distanced herself from Kanye after the alleged incident, as she believed she would be "silenced, blacklisted and retaliated against" if she spoke out about her belief she had been drugged and assaulted.

    She claims in her suit, which was originally filed in June and then updated with her claims of assault, she was never paid a $3 million in severance that she was allegedly owed.

    In the filing, the OnlyFans model also spoke about allegedly receiving vulgar texts from Kanye on multiple occasions.

    She also claimed to have received intimate photos of "current and former" employees of Kanye's who were both "men and women".

    Kanye's lawyers previously slammed Lauren's allegations as "baseless".

    They told Page Six in June the model had pursued the rapper "sexually" to "coerce employment and other material benefits".

    The attorneys also claimed Lauren blackmailed Kanye when "her advances were rejected".

    They said: "Prior to her termination as an assistant, Ms Pisciotta stole his cell phone in an attempt to destroy phone records that would contradict her claims, all of which have been preserved.

    "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."
