Kanye West has been accused of engaging in “forced labour and cruel inhuman, or degrading treatment” at his company Yeezy , in a new lawsuit. Eight former employees, some of whom are minors, allege that Ye and his company did not pay team members for long working hours and subjected them to derogatory behaviour. The suit also claims that his wife, Bianca Censori , sent porn to staff members at the rapper’s company.
Censori, 29, allegedly sent one of the employees a link to watch “hardcore” sexual content after West, 47, announced the launch of the adult film branch of his business , Yeezy Porn, in April. According to court documents obtained by TMZ , the videos were accessible to minors among the staff who were developing the porn app. The suit alleges that staffers were as young as 14.
Censori is not the target of the federal lawsuit, but the incident was included as an example of the alleged problems with the work environment. “No guardrails were put in place to prevent the underage YZYVSN workers from working on Yeezy Porn, or to prevent them from being exposed to and being forced to view pornography to perform their work,” the lawsuit reads, according to The Washington Post. The suit also claims that West’s former chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, referred to some staffers as “new slaves”, and that the working environment was racist, with repeated false promises being made regarding payment and working hours.
Workers were allegedly forced to work thro.
