In a shocking turn of events, Kanye West finds himself at the center of a new lawsuit that alleges he hired a private investigator to follow his wife, Bianca Censorey, and delve into the lives of the Kardashian family.
This lawsuit, filed on Thursday, reveals unsettling claims from a former employee who asserts that West’s erratic behavior may be linked to excessive use of nitrous oxide.
The whistleblower, identified as John Doe from Michigan, initially joined West’s team in December 2022 as a campaign manager for a potential presidential run.
However, his role quickly morphed into that of an intelligence director for Yeezy, where he was tasked with minimizing negative press surrounding the rapper.
According to documents obtained by Rolling Stone, Doe’s responsibilities included conducting investigations and managing nondisclosure agreements.
Doe claims that both Censorey and the Kardashian clan, which includes West’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian, were subjected to scrutiny under West’s orders.
A particularly alarming allegation states that private investigators were enlisted to shadow Censorey during a solo trip to Australia to visit her family—actions taken without her consent, according to the 22-page lawsuit filed in Los Angeles.
The lawsuit paints a picture of West’s deteriorating mental state, citing a series of bizarre incidents, including a reported $850,000 splurge on a set of titanium teeth.
Furthermore, Doe alleges that West terminated a significant portion of the Yeezy leadership team, including former chief of staff Milo Yiannopoulos, who also claimed that West had developed an addiction to nitrous oxide.
Doe’s attorney, Ronald Zambrano, argues that there is a direct correlation between West’s alleged nitrous oxide use and his increasing paranoia during the period in question.
Concerns reportedly arose within West’s inner circle regarding the volume of nitrous oxide being delivered to his residence, indicating a troubling pattern of behavior.
The lawsuit details how Doe’s employment came to an abrupt end in mid-May after he received alarming reports from a Donda Academy teacher about student safety.
Upon sharing this information with Yeezy leadership, Doe claims that West erupted in rage, threatening him with bodily harm and even death if he disclosed what he had learned.
In the days following this confrontation, Doe alleges he faced intimidation from West’s associates, leading to severe emotional distress.
Drawing from his military background, Doe asserts that these threats triggered post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), resulting in panic attacks and anxiety that necessitated medical intervention.
As the lawsuit unfolds, Doe is seeking compensation for emotional distress, retaliation, and various breaches of California labor laws.
He is asking for unpaid wages, attorney fees, and both general and punitive damages, which will be determined during the trial.
The allegations against West raise serious questions about his mental health and decision-making during this tumultuous time.
DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for both Kanye West and the Kardashian family for their responses to these serious claims.
As the story develops, it highlights the complexities of celebrity life, where personal struggles can often spill into the public arena, leaving a trail of controversy and concern.
The implications of this lawsuit could reverberate through West’s career and personal relationships, making it a situation worth watching closely.
