A former Yeezy staffer, a Jewish woman, sued Kanye West in California superior court Tuesday alleging sex and religious discrimination and harassment, accusing West of comparing himself to Hitler, sending her pornographic material and referring to her as “bitch” and other insults in text messages, the latest in the rapper’s ongoing antisemitism controversies.

The plaintiff, referred to in the complaint as Jane Doe, worked as a marketer for Yeezy in 2024, in which role she says she was subject to antisemitic remarks, including a text from West that states: “Hail Hitler.”

The complaint alleges West texted the plaintiff, “I Am A NAZI,” in January 2024 after she suggested he make a statement condemning Nazism, after his “Vultures 1” album cover sparked controversy for allegedly evoking a Nazi aesthetic.

West also asked the plaintiff and another staffer in June 2024 what they were being paid, then texting: “Welcome to the first day of working for Hitler,” before berating the staffers for not responding to his messages, according to the suit.

The plaintiff says in her complaint she took a job at Yeezy hoping West had changed after he issued an apology to the Jewish community in a post on Instagram in December 2023, which came more than a year after a string of antisemitic comments tanked his business career and ended his billionaire status.

The plaintiff said West had sent her pornographic material, which made her feel uncomfortable, and that he directed her to market his controversial “Yeezy Porn” venture, which she refused to do because she morally opposes pornography.

The plaintiff alleged she was once fired and quickly rehired by West, and that she was subject to harassment over text, with his back-to-back texts to the plaintiff including: “You Ugly as F—”, “You stupid ass corny bitch,” “F— You Bitch” and “Now sue me you corny ass bitch.”

West allegedly fired the plaintiff in June 2024, one day after she reported his conduct to her manager, the complaint says.
