Posted by Ye has reportedly reached a settlement in the sexual assault lawsuit filed by his former assistant, Lauren Pisciotta. According to documents filed in a Los Angeles court on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, the artist reached an unconditional settlement that resolves the case in its entirety. While the specific terms of the agreement remain confidential, legal representatives for Pisciotta have confirmed that the matter is now resolved.
Pisciotta, who worked for Kanye West from 2021 to 2023, initially joined the artist’s team to contribute to A&R efforts for his Donda album. She later transitioned into the roles of personal assistant and chief of staff across his various business ventures, including Yeezy. The legal battle began in 2024 when she filed suit, accusing the rapper of sexual harassment, including unwanted advances, the sending of explicit text messages, and exposing himself during a private flight.
Expansion of Legal Allegations
The litigation was subsequently expanded in 2025 to include more severe allegations of sexual assault and sex trafficking. In an amended complaint, Pisciotta claimed that she was subjected to regular groping and an attempted sexual assault, further alleging that the artist forcibly performed oral sex on her without consent. The filing asserted that these actions were part of a pattern where the artist utilized career advancement promises, intimidation, and retaliation to pressure her into compliance.
Response and Ongoing Legal Context
Throughout the proceedings, the artist has consistently denied all allegations. Following the filing of the amended complaint, his representatives dismissed the claims as “outrageous” and “demonstrably false.” In a statement provided to Billboard last year, a spokesperson for the artist stated, “The courts are no place to indulge delusions and mental disturbances,” and maintained that he was prepared to defend his position before a jury.
This settlement represents the latest in a series of legal challenges involving the artist, who has faced multiple lawsuits from former employees in recent years. These claims have spanned a variety of grievances, ranging from hostile work environments to unpaid wages. While some of these disputes have reached resolutions, others remain active in the court system. As of now, the artist’s team has not provided further comment on the conclusion of this specific case.
