Kanye West fans praised the star’s ‘genius’ new song Beauty and the Beast this week – as the star faces a sexual assault lawsuit from his former assistant.

In June, the musician, 47, was sued by Lauren Pisciotta for sexual harassment and stalking during her employment in 2021-22 – with an updated lawsuit filed on Friday night making claims Pisciotta was drugged and raped by West.

In the wake of his latest scandal West dropped a teaser for his single which includes cryptic lyrics including ‘It’s been a long time coming’ and ‘Thinkin’ ’bout it every night and day to try to stay away, to keep my audience up.’

The song was swiftly lauded by die-hard fans of the disgraced star with one branding the track ‘absolute genius.’

Others wrote: ‘Why am I crying’, ‘Kanye is good for the soul’, ‘IM DOING SO MANY BACKFLIPS IM SO HAPPY RN’ and  ‘Thank you Ye.’

More followers added: ‘It’s so beautiful he had to post it twice!!’ and my goat could literally retire right now and his legacy would already be cemented as one of the most influential artists of all time, yet he’s still putting out bangers simply for the love of the game. Look at Ye man.’

This comes after Pisciotta claimed that years before she worked for West, he drugged and raped her – only allegedly confessing in his last weeks as her boss.

Pisciotta claimed she met West when he invited her client, a musician, to a studio session and party he co-hosted with his friend Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.

West announced that everyone at the event at the Santa Monica studio had to drink if they wanted to stay, and she was handed a beverage by West himself.

Pisciotta after a few sips ‘suddenly started to feel disorientated and… began to slip into an altered and highly impaired state’, the lawsuit read.

‘She felt less in control of her body and speech and that is where [her] memories of the night escape her,’ it claimed.

The next day, she felt ‘ashamed and embarrassed’ that she couldn’t remember the evening and her musician client refused to discuss what happened.

Pisciotta claimed she only learned years later why her client ‘was too traumatized and disturbed to speak about that night’.

The lawsuit also states that shortly after Pisciotta stopped working for West in November 2022, she encountered him and Censori at a Post Malone concert in California.

After years of believing she was drugged by a studio assistant but escaped without being molested, she allegedly learned the truth from West.

She claimed that not long before he fired her in November 2022, he was enraged about a comment his ex-wife made about him and Pisciotta having an affair while he was still married.

The ex-wife’s name was withheld in the lawsuit, but West’s only wife besides Censori was Kim Kardashian, who divorced him earlier in 2022.

Pisciotta told West she wanted to send Kardashian a text to clear things up with her, as it ‘appeared she was under the wrong impression’ about them.

However, she claimed West told her she couldn’t send a message denying they were ever intimate, due to what happened at the Santa Monica party.

‘We did kind of hook up a little one time,’ the lawsuit claimed West told her.

‘[West] then immediately proceeded to reminisce about the time he was referring to… where he “hooked up” with [Pisciotta] after she had been drugged,’ the lawsuit claimed.

Pisciotta claimed West had told Kardashian they ‘hooked up’ but ‘left out the true nature and severity of what he did to [her]’.

Had Kardashian ‘been told the truth and known [Pisciotta] was in fact drugged and sexually assaulted by Kanye West’ she would never have made the comment, the lawsuit claimed.

A shocked Pisciotta claimed she told West she had no memory of the night, and he laughed, saying ‘women love to say they don’t remember’, then changed the subject.

She also claimed in her updated lawsuit that West’s office was transformed into a ‘sexual playground’ while Censori acted as his ‘sex party coordinator’ and willingly participated in the rapper’s ‘twisted sexual fantasies.’

Pisciotta also claimed West once grabbed her by the throat in front of an ‘unfazed’ Censori.

Among the disturbing accusations, Pisciotta claims West once grabbed her by the throat in front of an ‘unfazed’ Censori

West has denied Pisciotta’s initial lawsuit, filed in June, dismissing the accusations as ‘baseless’ and accusing her of blackmail and extortion. He has yet to respond to the updated lawsuit.

These new claims surfaced just days after rumors of West and Censori’s potential split, only for the couple to be seen together in Japan shortly after.

Pisciotta alleges in her lawsuit that Kanye used his Yeezy offices as a ‘sexual playground’ to make him ‘feel powerful and secure.’ She claims a ‘makeshift bedroom’—a mattress, pillows, and blanket in a private room or closet—was often set up for West.

The suit also states West frequently hosted ‘sex parties’ at luxury hotels and tried to ‘expose’ Pisciotta to them.

 It further claims that Censori was his “former sex-party participant and coordinator.”

During their brief interaction, West allegedly grabbed Pisciotta by the throat and put his tongue in her ear, saying, ‘I always knew what I would do to you if I ever saw you again.’

According to Pisciotta, Censori stood nearby, watching ‘unfazed’ and seemingly accustomed to West’s behavior.

The lawsuit further alleges that Censori would consensually engage in ‘twisted and bizarre sexual behavior, fantasy, and foreplay’ that mirrored West’s actions at the concert.

Pisciotta also claims that West hosted multiple ‘sex parties,’ with Censori attending as an ‘on-call sex party participant/employee.’

She also alleges West harbored a disturbing sexual obsession, which included a fetish for involving the mothers of his targets, including Censori’s own family.

He allegedly sent Pisciotta a screenshot on September 28, 2022, of a text conversation between him and Censori about wanting to have sex with her mother.

‘i wanna f**k your mum. Before she leaves,’ he graphically wrote, the lawsuit claims.

According to the filing, he asked Pisciotta: ‘Should I add I meant I want you to watch me f**k your mom’.

Censori was in the US on a work visa at the time, and her mother, Alexandra, was visiting Los Angeles from their native Australia.

Pisciotta claimed Censori responded to West’s texts, as doing so was ‘a way, insisted upon and required by [West]’ for her and others to keep their jobs as visas.

‘This is what she wrote… she’s (Alexandra) married. I’m going to f**k someone this weekend and tell you the next time you’re inside me,’ West told Pisciotta of Censori’s alleged reply minutes later.

Censori was subjected to other sexual servitude for West long before they married, according to the lawsuit, including in the Yeezy offices in LA.

Pisciotta claimed West used his connections at companies like Adidas and Gap to get work visas to traffic women into the US for sex.

They were given ‘obscure job titles’ at his companies and had them sign NDAs about their experiences. Censori was initially a typical example of this.

The lawsuit claimed he often had sex with employees and a ‘rotating list of guests’ in his Yeezy company’s offices.

Employees were ordered to construct makeshift bedrooms consisting of a mattress on the floor, pillows and a blanket in a room or even just a closet.

He also used the staff bathrooms and changing rooms, the lawsuit claimed.

The lawsuit claimed West sent Pisciotta bizarre texts about Censori behind her back, usually of a sexual nature and often disturbing.

‘I feel like Bianca came into LA to f**k as many people as possible and break marriages and turn other girls into hoes,’ the lawsuit claimed he wrote on June 25, 2022.

‘Something more to it with her. She’s too smart. And she said she was pretending to be an architect.

‘[Name withheld] hit me and she’s a full blown hoe after Bianca befriended her. She’s a different person.

[Yeezy employee] fell in love with her. She been doing damage… What’s her potential…

‘She was really inappropriate at the adidas office. Her moves are too obvious.’

Sometimes West’s fantasies about Pisciotta and Censori interacted, such as one claimed text on May 17, 2022.

Kanye West split from his wife Bianca Censori several weeks ago, according to TMZ

‘I was literally just reading this story she (Censori) wrote me about,’ he began.

‘The story was bout a guy pulling out his d**k on her after she showed ber bbl and it was the width of a coke can.

‘And I was thinking about you getting f**ked by [name withheld].’

The lawsuit explained that part of Pisciotta’s duties – which involved being at West’s beck and call 24 hours a day – was to organize transport for women to meet him.

‘On one such occasion, in August 2022, after [Pisciotta] had arranged an Uber ride, Kanye West a.k.a. Ye and Bianca Censori called [her] wanting to discuss the orgy (five-some) they had participated in the day before,’ the lawsuit claimed.

Censori started working for West at Yeezy in November 2020 and their relationship was heating up during the time Pisciotta worked there.

West released a song inspired by her titled ‘Censori Overload’ on Instagram Stories on December 7, 2022, and they married later that month.

This was just a few weeks after Pisciotta said she was fired and West reneged on a $3 million severance and failed to pay her expenses.

Signs in the lawsuit that West and Censori were growing closer included an incident on August 7, 2022, when he asked Pisciotta to organize an Uber ride for a female Yeezy employee to one of the rapper’s sex parties.

‘Ye and Bianca Censori contacted [Pisciotta] separately the following day to interrogate her about the requested Uber ride’ and to discuss the party.

They both told her ‘they were both quite upset when a particular woman they invited did not show for their sex party’ and both accused her of purposely not booking it.

Pisciotta had to apologize to both of them, but ‘luckily’ West told her ‘she was no longer in trouble for not doing exactly as he said.

‘[The woman[ was on her period anyway. Soooooo It’s ok,’ the lawsuit claimed he wrote.

West and Censori were frequently spotted together after their marriage, usually with Censori wearing an extremely revealing or outrageous outfit.

TMZ claimed on Monday morning that the rapper and his wife have been on the outs for a while and ‘possibly’ plan to file for divorce.

But hours later, the unlikely couple appeared to confirm they were still together as they packed on the PDA in Tokyo on Tuesday, leaving Bianca’s family ‘very confused.’

West was hit by shock claims he hired a ‘fixer’ to follow wife Bianca Censori and investigate the Kardashian family in a different lawsuit

The lawsuit delves into his allegedly infamous sex parties and the full horror of his neo-Nazi views that included hate-filled rants and forcing staff to draw swastikas.

Her most serious claim was that years before she worked for him, he drugged and raped her – only allegedly confessing in his last weeks as her boss.

West denied the claims in her original lawsuit, calling them ‘baseless’ and accused her of ‘blackmail and extortion’, but has yet to file a defense.

A lawyer for West did not immediately respond to the DailyMail.com’s request for comment on the updated complaint.
