In a lawsuit, Lauren Pisciotta alleges the star sent her lewd texts and performed sex acts while on the phone with her, according to US media.

She claims she was fired in 2022, but that a $3 million (£2.4 million) severance package was never paid.

The BBC has contacted West’s lawyer for a response to her allegations, but has yet to receive a reply.

The lawsuit was first reported in the US by TMZ, and later confirmed by Rolling Stone, The Wrap and US Weekly, which says court papers were filed on Monday in the US.

    You still can’t fathom it. Trump is a completely different phenomenon.

    If something like Hitler in a similar socio-political situation happens, you will support it.

      I don’t think so. People communicate more freely than ever, and have access to history more than they ever have. There isn’t a problem that will come up that will suddenly make me want to assist in genocide.

        People communicate more freely than ever,

        What made you think so? My impression is that they communicate more freely in Jules Verne’s books than now. That’s about the Web and not even my environment.

        and have access to history more than they ever have.

        And the fact that it doesn’t help should hint you.

        There isn’t a problem that will come up that will suddenly make me want to assist in genocide.

        “Suddenly” is moving the goalposts. Of course you’ll be prepared.
