Kanye West‘s rape accuser, Lauren Pisciotta, is reportedly in hiring, according to her lawyer.
Speaking to Complex, Arick Fudali, a partner in The Bloom Firm, detailed the impact filing a lawsuit against West had on Pisciotta.
He said: “Lauren, as I’ve said in public before, is basically in hiding. She is very afraid of Mr. West and Mr. West’s circle and Mr. West’s supporters. She’s received an enormous amount of online backlash and ridicule and hatred.
“Really ugly, gross stuff. So she literally is currently in hiding, and I can’t reveal even the vicinity of where she lives. That’s how serious it is for her right now.”

Pisciotta alleged that West sexually assaulted her after meeting him in a music studio.
According to Rolling Stone, Pisciotta and another of her clients were invited to a studio session by Diddy where “drinks were served to her and others in attendance, followed by an announcement that everybody had to drink, if they wanted to stay.”
Pisciotta claims that “after a few small sips of the beverage, poured at the direction of Kanye West a.k.a. Ye by a studio assistant and then served to her by Kanye West, [she] suddenly started to feel disoriented.”
The woman says that she then passed out until the morning and was unable to remember anything, but recalled feeling “immense shame and embarrassment.”

She claims that she did know she was sexually assaulted until West himself allegedly brought up the incident years later, telling her they “did kind of hook up.”
When Pisciotta told the rapper that she had “no memory or recollection of that night,” Kanye laughed and replied: “Women love to say they don’t remember,” according to the suit.
Pisciotta also claims that West had a “kink” about having sex with the mothers of women he is involved in and once texted his wife Bianca Censori: “I wanna fuck your mum. Before she leaves.”
While Diddy is mentioned in the lawsuit, he is not listed as a co-defendant and not accused by Pisciotta of any wrongdoing.

Pisciotta later acknowledged that she had received a number of “hateful” comments in response to filing the lawsuit against the controversial rapper.
