Kanye West has settled a sexual battery lawsuit brought by his former personal and executive assistant Lauren Pisciotta, closing a case that had been working through Los Angeles Superior Court since 2024.

TMZ first reported the settlement on 29 July 2026, and court records confirm it. Arick Fudali, Pisciotta's lawyer, told Pitchfork that "the matter has been resolved." The terms of the unconditional settlement are undisclosed.

Pisciotta worked for West and his companies between 2021 and 2023, holding roles that included personal and executive assistant, A&R — the label-side role of scouting and developing talent — and chief of staff. Her lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, began as a sexual harassment claim alleging that West masturbated in front of her in a locked room on a private jet.

She later expanded the complaint to include allegations that West drugged and sexually assaulted her. The expanded filing also alleged that West repeatedly touched, groped, fondled and grabbed her without consent, including once at a party co-hosted by Sean "Diddy" Combs.

TMZ had reported on 30 June 2026 that West was nearing a settlement in the case. Roughly a month later, the outlet confirmed the deal was done.

Because the settlement is unconditional and its terms are sealed from public view, neither the financial figure — if any — nor any admission of fault is on the record. A settlement closes a civil case without a trial and without a finding of liability; it is not a verdict. The allegations Pisciotta raised, including drugging and sexual assault, were never tested in court and now will not be adjudicated through this proceeding.

West has not publicly commented on the settlement. His representatives have not issued a statement beyond the court filing itself.

The case joins a broader landscape of civil sexual misconduct lawsuits filed against high-profile music industry figures in recent years, several of which have ended in confidential settlements rather than public trials. For Pisciotta, the resolution means the matter is closed. For the public record, the claims remain allegations — settled, not proven.
