Milo Yiannopoulos Says Lawsuit Against YEEZY is a ‘Pack Of Lies.’ He Also Speaks on Kanye’s Wife
Documents obtained by TMZ revealed that a disturbing lawsuit has been filed in a U.S. District Court against Kanye West and his former chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulos. It alleges that West and Yiannopoulous engaged in “forced labor and cruel inhuman, or degrading treatment” at the company YZY.
It also accused the pair of lying about paying their adult and minor employees, though they were forced to work extremely long hours. The employees were also allegedly called “new slaves” by Yiannopoulos.
Though she was not named a defendant in the suit, West’s wife, Bianca Censori, was accused of sending a link to one of the employees to watch “hardcore” porn after West announced the launch of Yeezy Porn earlier this year. In a statement to The Root, Yiannopoulos vehemently denied these claims.
He also denied accusations that Censori distributed pornographic images of any kind. “I’ve been authorized by Bianca to stress that any allegation that she showed or caused to be shown any pornographic material to minors is offensive, disgusting, abhorrent and categorically and wholly false,” he explained.
Yiannopoulos continued:
“The tragic, desperate, attention-seeking wannabe Yeezy staffer behind this egregious and repulsive pack of lies, Shemar DaCosta, has never had any kind of access to Ye, his family, or Yeezy, or any information pertinent to the company, and he never will…He claimed to be a lead developer for Yeezy. He has never worked at Yeezy. Read my lips: He will never, ever, ever land a job at the company after telling such odious lies about the Lady of the House…Yeezy Porn doesn’t exist. I made sure of that by falling on my sword and quitting over it. All I’ve done since is try to get these app developers paid, as voluminous correspondence demonstrates. Anyone asserting otherwise, including many in the press, are lazy or simply dishonest buffoons uncritically repeating mendacious lies from a lawsuit that takes more imaginative leaps than The Lord of the Rings.”
Yiannopoulos also reiterated that he will ultimately be vindicated despite the claims of the suit. The plaintiffs in the lawsuit are seeking payment for emotional distress, unpaid wages and lawyer fees.
