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.

    Sorry, your arrogance doesn’t actually mean you know better.

    Mussolini was known to use terrorism all the time. That’s literally what his blackshirts were known fore before he seized power.

    But please do tell me Mussolini, who came up with the term ‘fascism,’ was not a fascist or that his tactics weren’t terrorism. That should be fun.

    As for what I am expecting to gain from this conversation? Just correcting your false and/or silly claims for other people’s benefit since I am assuming you are the sort of person who never admits when they’re wrong, especially based on your silly “I know better than you” comment at the outset.

        You didn’t look at a single link, did you? That’s the only way you couldn’t see that you were wrong. The first link even had ‘terrorism’ in the URL.

        How about rather than insult me (I have flagged you again), you explain to me why either Mussolini didn’t use terrorism or why Mussolini was not a fascist?

            This is what you wrote:

            “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.

            “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.

            The links, which you clearly are refusing to read, so I’m not sure why you’re telling me what’s in them, show that asymmetric warfare in the form of terrorism was exactly what brought Mussolini to power.

            Again, I know that you will never say you were incorrect (I doubt you ever do), this is for the benefit of others.

            And I have flagged you again for incivility.

                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.
