In a lawsuit, Lauren Pisciotta alleges the star sent her lewd texts and performed sex acts while on the phone with her, according to US media.

She claims she was fired in 2022, but that a $3 million (£2.4 million) severance package was never paid.

The BBC has contacted West’s lawyer for a response to her allegations, but has yet to receive a reply.

The lawsuit was first reported in the US by TMZ, and later confirmed by Rolling Stone, The Wrap and US Weekly, which says court papers were filed on Monday in the US.

    I don’t know, anyone who loves Hitler can’t be all bad, can they?

      The only thing that I can appreciate about Trump is that growing up, I could not fathom how people were swayed into supporting that regime. I thought there’s no way that type of propaganda can work on that many people. Well unfortunately I can now.

        Sinclair Lewis wrote a book about the U.S. becoming a fascist dictatorship by electing a populist demagogue in 1935!

        People have been warning about this since before WWII and, unfortunately, it’s taken this long for people to listen. I just hope it isn’t too late.

        Surprisingly enough, I recently said the same thing to someone. Now I know, the Cult of Personality is real.

        You still can’t fathom it. Trump is a completely different phenomenon.

        If something like Hitler in a similar socio-political situation happens, you will support it.

              wait what. I’m fairly neurotypical, are you saying the only thing between me and being a Nazi is seeing Hitler’s beautiful visage?

                Maybe some self-discipline too, which in most is insufficient to resist a Hitler that tells what you want to hear.

                  And you would be resistant to someone telling you what you want to hear why?

              Sorry… you’re saying the only non-Nazis are neurodivergent?

                  I have no idea why you think that. Do you have any evidence for it or is this just a guess on your part?

          I don’t think so. People communicate more freely than ever, and have access to history more than they ever have. There isn’t a problem that will come up that will suddenly make me want to assist in genocide.

            People communicate more freely than ever,

            What made you think so? My impression is that they communicate more freely in Jules Verne’s books than now. That’s about the Web and not even my environment.

            and have access to history more than they ever have.

            And the fact that it doesn’t help should hint you.

            There isn’t a problem that will come up that will suddenly make me want to assist in genocide.

            “Suddenly” is moving the goalposts. Of course you’ll be prepared.

              There were people that saw the writing on the wall then, and there will be more that see the writing on the wall now is my point.
