Kanye West claims “Jews control the Kardashians”: new complaint filed by one of his employees

This is not the first time that former employees have accused him of abusive behavior. In a new complaint, filed by one of his collaborators, Thursday, November 14 in California, American rapper Kanye West is accused of having repeatedly asserted that “Jews control” the family of his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.

In this complaint, Murphy Aficionado, who worked for him for nine months between 2022 and 2023, describes his collaboration within the shoe brand Yeezy and the Donda Academy school as a “nightmare”.

Multiple anti-Semitic statements

Now 47, Kanye West was married to reality TV star Kim Kardashian for eight years. The couple, who had four children, divorced in 2022 and have an increasingly acrimonious relationship, although Kim Kardashian has in the past been understanding of the mental health problems of the rapper, who claims to be bipolar.

Kanye West has made numerous anti-Semitic statements in recent years, which has made him a show business pariah. Adidas notably ceased all collaboration with him, like many other brands. According to the complaint filed Thursday, Kanye West had no qualms about flaunting his sexual relationships in front of his employees.

“The rapper’s vitriol, hatred and anti-Semitism continues”

Murphy Aficionado thus claims to have been summoned to work meetings, in hotels where the rapper had very loud sexual relations with his partner at the time, Bianca Censori, or his masseuse. The employee said he felt “violated and dehumanized”. His complaint seeks financial compensation for wrongful termination and for emotional and psychological damages suffered.

His lawyer William Reed said the complaint aims to “force Ye to understand that this behavior has no place in our society.” “The rapper’s vitriol, hatred and anti-Semitism continue, as does his complete lack of respect for the women around him,” the council denounced. Contacted by AFP, Kanye West’s representatives did not immediately respond.
