The artist formerly known as Kanye West is back in the headlines again after another woman claimed that he sexually assaulted her in a professional environment.
Formerย Americaโs Next Top Modelย contestant, Jenn An, claims that theย Vulturesย rapper choked and gagged her until she blacked out during a music video shoot. The alleged incident took place in 2010 during the filming of West and La Rouxโs โIn For The Killโ visuals. Jenn claims that the Chicago MC singled her out saying, โGive me the Asian girlโ before assaulting her.
The lawsuit claims that West โrammed several fingers down her throat, continuously moved them in and out, and gagged her to emulate forced oral sex,โ before exclaiming โthis is art. This is f**king art. I am like Picasso.โ The alleged scenes were not included in the final cut of the video as neither West nor Jenn appear in the versions posted online.
Jenn described the experience as โpornographic gagging/deep throat/BDSM fetishesโ rather than a professional music video environment. She filed the suit against both Yeezy and Universal Music Group for gender-motivated violence.
Jenn was a contestant on Cycle 13 ofย ANTMย and appeared in music videos after. However, the public hasnโt seen or heard much since her reality TV debut.
Kanye West Accusers Continue Coming Forward With Abuse & Misconduct Allegations
Kanye, on the other hand, has been keeping himself in the news for the alleged lewd behavior he has exposed professional colleagues to during his time at Adidas and elsewhere. Yeโs former project manager, Murphy Aficionado, claims that he was summoned by the rapper to a Beverly Hills hotel room in 2022 where he was forced to listen to a sexual encounter between West and wife, Bianca Censori.
Aficionado also claims that West wore a swastika shirt during the meeting and accused right-wing talking head, Candace Owens of being a โJewish spy.โ The lawsuit also alleges that Kanye showed nude photos of his ex-wife Kim Kardashian to his former employee that same day. Aficionado, who was fired last year, is suing the rapper for discrimination, hostile work environment, retaliation and failure to pay wages.
