Kanye West and Lauren Pisciotta appear close, ending the bitter court fight that accused the rapper of sexual harassment, wrongful termination, and, in later filings, sexual battery and sex trafficking.
Attorneys for West, who is legally known as Ye, and his former personal assistant met for mediation on June 4 and reached a settlement “in principle,” according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
A judge then removed the next hearing from the calendar while both sides work to finalize the deal… the terms have not been disclosed.
Pisciotta first sued Ye in June 2024, alleging he fired her after sending unwanted sexual messages and videos. In an amended complaint, she claimed the misconduct escalated during her time working for him, including alleged assault, stalking, retaliation and false imprisonment.

Ye has publicly denied the claims. His side previously called the allegations “fabricated to gain media attention” and accused Pisciotta of seeking money from him.
Last year, her attorney told the BBC that she had deleted most of her internet presence and was “just sort of sitting around and hiding, letting this lawsuit play out.”
Ye is currently fighting another legal battle. Model Jennifer An, a former America’s Next Top Model contestant, has alleged in a separate lawsuit that West assaulted her during a 2010 La Roux video shoot. Ye’s legal team has denied the allegations.
