The star is accused of sending vulgar text messages and creating a hostile work environment.

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.

      Flagged again for incivility. If you wish to explain how Mussolini did not use asymmetric warfare in the form of terrorism in order to rise to power as a fascist leader rather than continuing to insult me, please do so.

      Because, again, this is the “fucking quote” from you:

      “Terrorism” as commonly used (suicide attacks etc) is, in fact, asymmetric warfare. And in emotion it’s an individual going against a mass. It’s the opposite of fascism.

      That is what Mussolini did before he rose to power. As the links discuss.

      “Terrorism” as Stalin’s repressions, or jailing random people for words, or police not touching violent groups harassing someone, etc - yes, these are normal for fascism.

      None of which Mussolini could do before he rose to power, hence the asymmetric warfare.

      So, feel free to keep insulting me, but you’re still incorrect.

      Mussolini used asymmetric warfare in the form of terrorism to rise to power.

      Mussolini was a fascist.

      Those are simple facts whether you like them or not.

        Those are simple facts whether you like them or not.

        This is only your opinion whether you like it or not, and I don’t care since it seems to be like talking to a wall.

        Since you deliberately ignore that the difference between symmetric and asymmetric warfare in my division of “terrorism” is not in having governmental power, but in linear logic versus suicidal logic, or optimization versus unpredictability, but that’d be too deep.

        By the way, in natural languages no sequence of words has a clearly defined meaning, so when you argue, you don’t press as if an argument could be “won” or “lost”, you ask for specifics and try to find your own error first, or try to explain yourself more clearly, as I did before calling you names. If you act otherwise, then any intelligent human can assess you well from that alone.

        I’ll address the other thing:

        Flagged again for incivility.

        I hope you realize you can’t police anyone here.

        You may consider this whatever you want, but 1) technically one can see removed comments, 2) you’ve read them all and can’t change that, 3) this isn’t worth anything to me personally as a social action.

          I don’t care about any of your three points. At all. I also didn’t ignore anything since I specifically used the word ‘asymmetric’ multiple times including the comment you just replied to. So basically you’re telling a really stupid lie. I don’t know why you’re telling such a stupid lie, but…
