Who is Lauren Pisciotta? How Kanye West's ex-personal assistant became a famous Instagram model - before suing rapper for sexual harassment

Kanye West has found himself at the center of a lawsuit after his former assistant-turned-social media mogul filed a sexual harassment claim against the rapper - but who is the employee behind the allegation?

Lauren Pisciotta, 35, claimed she was hired by the 46-year-old star as his Executive Assistant/Personal Assistant in 2021 and was raking in an annual salary of $1 million for her agreement to be available to Kanye '24/7.' 

At the time, the brunette beauty was also setting pulses racing on OnlyFans and was using the adult content site to bring home a further seven figures every year. 

However, the rapper - who legally changed his name to Ye three years ago - allegedly then asked his assistant to take a more 'god-like' approach and offered her $1 million to get rid of her risque content online. 

Lauren ultimately agreed and ditched OnlyFans to become increasingly involved in Kayne's various businesses - claiming that she contributed three songs on the artist's album Donda.

Lauren Pisciotta, 35, says she was hired by the 46-year-old star (seen in 2019) as his assistant in 2021 and made $1 million a year in return for making herself availalble to Kanye '24/7' 

Lauren, who now regularly boasts her sensational figure on Instagram, appeared to be living the high life as she was jetting off to various hotspots with the rapper as his right-hand woman. 

However, it soon came to a screeching halt when she was terminated from the Yeezy company in 2022 - prompting the rapper's assistant to lift the lid on the alleged dark side of working for one of the biggest celebrities. 

Lauren's work with Kanye ended in October of 2022 - the same year that the rapper's career, reputation and earnings began to nosedive after he made a series of anti-Semitic remarks across multiple media platforms.

The former assistant has now made a series of shocking claims in a bombshell lawsuit - suing Kanye for sexual harassment, breach of contract and wrongful termination.

She is also suing the artist and his affiliated Yeezy companies for fraud, unpaid wages, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. 

In the lawsuit, reviewed by TMZ, Lauren claimed Kanye had recruited her to work for him while her only source of income was a time she was pulling in seven figures annually via an OnlyFans account.

Lauren claimed she worked for West from July of 2021 until October of 2022, when he terminated her employment. 

Following her termination, the pair agreed on $3 million in severance. However, in legal documents, Lauren alleged that the rapper never paid her that amount. 

Now, amid a bitter battle between an A-lister and his assistant, FEMAIL has lifted the lid on all there is to know about the Instagram model and the lawsuit she has filed against Kanye.

The 35-year-old brunette beauty (seen in 2018) was showcasing her assets on OnlyFans in the years prior to working with the rapper and bringing home $1 million doing it 

The 35-year-old brunette beauty was showcasing her assets on OnlyFans in the years prior to working with the rapper and bringing home $1 million doing it. 

She has garnered a huge following by boasting her stunning looks online - and has since built up a loyal fanbase of a whopping 1.1 million followers. 

It was during this time that she was recruited by Kanye to be his assistant because she had worked in the music industry for 15 years prior to this and had collaborated with him, according to Lauren. 

Over the next two years, their relationship quickly turned sour and the model was soon fired from the Yeezy brand, opening up a widespread lawsuit. 

Now, in the midst of the legal drama, Lauren - who keeps her personal life extremely private - has left behind both the rapper and her OnlyFans persona. 

She has since turned to Instagram and has been using the platform to showcase her day-to-day life as well as her looks. 

Her last Instagram post, which was shared one month ago, saw her donning a tiny red bikini as she showcased her washboard abs while lounging at the pool. 

She captioned the post: 'My happy place.'  

The assistant-turned-Instagram model has yet to make any public comments about the lawsuit.
