Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, is once again at the center of controversy. From his wife Bianca Censori’s bold “invisible” outfit at the Grammys to his recent social media outbursts, now he faces a lawsuit and business repercussions.
The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by a Jewish former employee identified as “Jane Doe,” accuses Ye of sending disturbing antisemitic text messages, including one that allegedly read, “I am a Nazi,” and another stating, “Welcome to the first day of working for Hitler.” These claims have sparked renewed scrutiny of Ye’s conduct in the workplace.
Doe’s allegations paint a troubling picture of a hostile work environment. According to the lawsuit, Ye often criticized her appearance when angry and pressured her to engage in the adult film industry.
After refusing his advances, she says the mistreatment intensified. Her situation reportedly worsened after she raised concerns with a manager, prompting a flood of abusive text messages from Ye, including one that allegedly said, “Come destroy me… Hail Hitler.” The lawsuit claims she was fired the day after this incident, having worked with Ye for just six months.
The allegations come on the heels of Ye’s continued inflammatory remarks on social media.
In addition to the offensive messages, he allegedly shared adult film videos and voiced support for Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is facing serious allegations of sex trafficking and racketeering. Soon after, Ye’s account on X was deactivated.
These incidents come as Ye prepares to release his new album, ‘Bully’, which he recently announced on Justin LaBoy’s podcast. Given his history of stirring controversy around album launches, many are speculating whether this timing is coincidental or a strategic move to generate buzz ahead of the release.
