Kanye West has been accused of sending “graphic” text messages to a Jewish employee in an upcoming lawsuit seeking $150 million from the rapper.
According to The Mirror U.S., a former employee of West’s Yeezy company is accusing the mogul of “religious discrimination, sexual harassment and whistleblower retaliatory termination.”

The anonymous person, identified only as Jane Doe, is set to file the lawsuit in the coming weeks and it will include text messages from Kanye which are described as “extremely graphic and grotesque.”
It is further claimed that the rapper used antisemitic language in the messages, which are also said to be “sexually explicit in nature.”

A source told the publication: “The antisemitism that is contained in these direct messages are worse than anything he has ever said on public platforms or included in former cases.”
The former employee claims that they shared the messages with higher-ups, but soon afterwards they were “terminated” from their role at Yeezy.

The plaintiff’s lawyer also said in a statement: “Our client was significantly disrespected, verbally antagonized and faced a very hostile work environment. When she shared text messages from Mr. West with her superiors to show how she was being treated, she was quickly terminated after almost a year of diligent work.
“It’s time that Mr. West is held accountable for his actions towards his female employees in front of a jury. This will be a massive discrimination lawsuit that is all laid out in text messages and it is definitely forthcoming.”

The former employee claims that she was badly affected by Kanye’s treatment and was forced to go on anxiety medication.
She also claims that she has tried to resolve the matter privately but Ye is “ignoring the situation.”
The plaintiff is asking for $150 million in damages. Kanye has not responded to the allegations.
These are just the latest allegations against the G.O.O.D. Music of behaving inappropriately in the workplace.

Just last month, a former project manager for Yeezy claimed that West showed him naked pictures of his ex-wife Kim Kardashian after audibly having sex with current wife Bianca Censori in a nearby hotel room.
He was also accused of going on antisemitic rants regarding Kardashian and his bank accounts. West has not yet not publicly responded to that suit either.
