Kanye West is drawing comparisons to Sean “Diddy” Combs as legal troubles mount, with his former assistant, Lauren Pisciotta, reportedly going into hiding following the rapper’s inflammatory online statements.
Pisciotta, 36, first accused West, 47, of sexual assault in June 2024, alleging that he had “hooked up” with her without consent after her drink was allegedly spiked during a recording session. The rapper denied the allegations in February, taking to social media to dismiss them and claim that anyone trying to “extort” him would run out of money before he did.

“I don’t go one year without somebody trying this st where the fk is Lauren Pisciotta now,” West wrote in all caps on X. According to Pisciotta’s attorney, Lisa Bloom, the former assistant has been forced into hiding due to threats and harassment stemming from West’s remarks.
Bloom, a well-known advocate for sexual assault victims, told The U.S. Sun that her client has been severely impacted. “Kanye West has been tweeting about my client. These very ugly, nasty slurs to try to intimidate her,” Bloom said.
“She has had to go into hiding. She has had to leave her home because of threats and harassment, and she has now gone into hiding. She is not working.” Bloom, who is also representing Dawn Richard in a lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs, drew parallels between the two high-profile cases.
“Both Kanye West and Sean Combs are very wealthy men, very powerful in the music industry, and have kind of had rumors swirling around them for years about bad behavior, but not much was done until recently,” she stated.

West’s online attacks have intensified the already difficult battle for Pisciotta, who began working for his Yeezy fashion brand in 2015 before becoming his executive assistant in 2021. Despite the pressures of taking on a high-profile figure like West, Bloom remains steadfast in her client’s pursuit of justice.
“This is what it has done to her. So, yes, it’s very difficult to go up against people like this, but not impossible.” As the case gains traction, West’s handling of the allegations—and his aggressive response online—raises further questions about accountability in the music industry. The situation continues to unfold as Pisciotta remains in hiding, fearing for her safety amid the controversy.
