The star is accused of sending vulgar text messages and creating a hostile work environment.

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.

    Certainly not stuff like suicide bombing or mass shooting. Those are done by people who are the life of the party.

    Nazi ideology had a pretty collectivist cult of sacrifice, strength, loyalty etc, so why not.

    Other than that - motives for suicide bombings and mass shootings are usually directed against groups presenting themselves as any Nazis do when they have power.

    And such groups are deeply hostile to individual actions like a suicide bombing. Maybe for a few assassinations or as an excuse for some action - yes, but not as a system.

      You really do not understand fascism if you don’t think terrorism is involved.

        I think I know more about fascism than you, having been really interested in the subject in the past.

        “Terrorism” as commonly used (suicide attacks etc) is, in fact, asymmetric warfare. And in emotion it’s an individual going against a mass. It’s the opposite of fascism.

        “Terrorism” as Stalin’s repressions, or jailing random people for words, or police not touching violent groups harassing someone, etc - yes, these are normal for fascism.

        I think this has been a long and monotonous exchange, so one question - what are you expecting to gain from this conversation? And another - could we please cut there?

          Sorry, your arrogance doesn’t actually mean you know better.

          Mussolini was known to use terrorism all the time. That’s literally what his blackshirts were known fore before he seized power.

          But please do tell me Mussolini, who came up with the term ‘fascism,’ was not a fascist or that his tactics weren’t terrorism. That should be fun.

          As for what I am expecting to gain from this conversation? Just correcting your false and/or silly claims for other people’s benefit since I am assuming you are the sort of person who never admits when they’re wrong, especially based on your silly “I know better than you” comment at the outset.

              You didn’t look at a single link, did you? That’s the only way you couldn’t see that you were wrong. The first link even had ‘terrorism’ in the URL.

              How about rather than insult me (I have flagged you again), you explain to me why either Mussolini didn’t use terrorism or why Mussolini was not a fascist?

                  This is what you wrote:

                  “Terrorism” as commonly used (suicide attacks etc) is, in fact, asymmetric warfare. And in emotion it’s an individual going against a mass. It’s the opposite of fascism.

                  “Terrorism” as Stalin’s repressions, or jailing random people for words, or police not touching violent groups harassing someone, etc - yes, these are normal for fascism.

                  The links, which you clearly are refusing to read, so I’m not sure why you’re telling me what’s in them, show that asymmetric warfare in the form of terrorism was exactly what brought Mussolini to power.

                  Again, I know that you will never say you were incorrect (I doubt you ever do), this is for the benefit of others.

                  And I have flagged you again for incivility.
