Lauren, a former OnlyFans model, said in her legal filing that she began working for Kanye, 46, in July 2021, according to TMZ.
The pair met while the hitmaker was putting together his fashion line.
According to the outlet, Lauren collaborated with Kanye and worked on three songs on his album, Donda.
Her filing states that one year later, Kanye approached her asking her to be “God like” and delete her OnlyFans.
He reportedly promised to pay her $1million a year if she obliged.
The model stated in her filing that she did agree.
She claims, however, that a short time after the incident, Kanye started sending her inappropriate and vulgar texts about his sexual fantasies.
Lauren also alleges in her filing that the performer would perform sexual acts while on the phone with her.
She claims he would ask if she could hear what he was doing, or urge her to guess.
Additionally, Lauren claims that Kanye was fixated on the penis size of her boyfriends.
The lawsuit alleges that a slurry of text messages, sexual videos, and photos were sent to her, including at least two clips of Kanye having sex with a model.
She claims Kanye promoted her to Chief of Staff for his companies, paying her $4million.
She alleges, however, that in October 2022, she was fired and offered $3million in severance.
She accepted but claims Kanye never paid her.
Lauren is suing Kanye for breach of contract, sexual harassment, wrongful termination, and hostile work environment.
The U.S. Sun has reached out to Kanye’s reps for comment.

Kanye West’s recent controversies
Kanye West has faced a number of controversies in recent years.
In November 2022, a former Yeezy staffer alleged Kanye showed them intimate photos of his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
Staffers also claimed he played pornography for them during meetings and talked about porn.
In October 2023, Adidas dropped the rapper as various social media sites barred him from their platforms for making anti-semitic comments online, in interviews, and with his clothing.
Amid pleas from fans and threats of major boycotts, Adidas announced its decision to terminate his contract.
Gap and Balenciaga followed suit.
The rapper is now being sued by his ex-assistant, accusing him of sexual harassment and wrongful termination.
Kanye has said in the past that he suffers from a porn addiction, making the comments in an online rant that has since been deleted.
The former Yeezy employees alleged in their letter that leaders from Adidas were aware of Kanye’s “problematic behavior” but “turned their moral compass off.”
A spokesperson for Adidas told Rolling Stone, “Adidas does not tolerate hate speech and offensive behavior and therefore has terminated the Adidas Yeezy partnership.
“We have been and continue to be actively engaged in conversations with our employees about the events that lead [sic] to our decision to end the partnership.”
They told Rolling Stone that he found Kanye dancing to his own music when he entered the room, and the star pulled out his phone upon noticing him.
“My wife just sent me this,” the rapper allegedly said at the time.
On the phone, the young main claims he saw a sexual photo of Kim.
“It was very revealing and personal,” the creative told the outlet.
“I didn’t really react.”
A source close to the potential employee recalled being told about the photo of the Hulu star shortly after the meeting.
Kanye allegedly showed an explicit video of Kim to members of the creative team at Yeezy at least one other time, a person who claimed to have seen the video told Rolling Stone.
Another former Yeezy employee who worked with Kanye in Cody, Wyoming, told the outlet that the Grammy-winner was not “afraid to show explicit images or talk about situations that should be kept private.”
BAD DEAL
In October 2023, Adidas dropped Kanye as various social media sites barred him from their platforms for making anti-Semitic comments online, in interviews, and with his clothing.
Toward the end of the month, Kanye was dropped by Adidas over his “harmful” and “dangerous” comments.
He sparked outrage after making a series of anti-Semitic comments, which Kim and her family spoke out against.
Amid pleas from fans and threats of major boycotts, Adidas announced its decision to move on from the rapper.
Gap and Balenciaga followed suit.
Kanye has said in the past that he suffers from a porn addiction, making the comments in a bizarre online rant that has since been deleted.
He claimed at the time that Hollywood “is a giant brothel” and “pornography destroyed my family.”
“I deal with the addiction, Instagram promotes it,” he stated.
Kanye has not addressed the latest allegations against him.
