Jennifer claimed she was sexually assaulted while filming a music video for Kanye West’s collaboration with La Roux in 2010. The model said the rapper picked her out of a line of girls at a casting call, saying, “Give me an Asian girl.” N admitted she was wearing revealing underwear. “That’s why I picked you,” the musician explained.
Universal Music Group is named as another defendant in the lawsuit. The court document claims that it arranged for West to make a cameo appearance in the video and later failed to investigate the incident or take action. Jennifer said the incident was more reminiscent of BDSM porn than a music video shoot. N never appeared in the video.
West was dating model Amber Rose at the time. In 2012, he began an affair with Kim Kardashian. The artists got married two years later. They have four children. In 2021, the rapper and the TV star divorced.
In January-February 2022, Kanye was in a relationship with American actress Julia Fox. And in 2023, the rapper married designer Bianca Censori.
Then Kanye began to direct the filming process in a New York hotel room. According to Ann, the rapper towered over her and breathed heavily. The victim described in detail what happened on the set of the video.
“West began to choke me with one hand. Then he grabbed my neck with his other hand and continued to choke her with both hands. Then Kanye stuck several fingers down my throat and continuously moved them back and forth until I was sick, to simulate forced oral sex,” the court document says.
The participant of the show “America’s Next Top Model” said that this torture lasted more than a minute. At the same time, according to Jennifer, the rapper shouted: “This is art! This is fucking art! I’m like Picasso!”
Ann noted that she felt panic at the time. Moreover, she felt like she briefly lost consciousness. However, according to her, no one stopped Kanye. “The model accused West of sexual assault and choking and is seeking compensation and punitive damages”
