00:00Kanye West has been dropped by his agent and hit with a new lawsuit,
00:03this time for anti-semitic harassment. How did he get to this point? Let's break it all down.
00:09According to Variety, West is facing a lawsuit after allegedly sending disturbing messages to
00:14a former Jewish staffer. The report states the former employee, who is choosing to remain
00:19anonymous, filed a lawsuit in LA Superior Court on Tuesday, accusing Kanye of anti-semitic
00:25harassment, claiming she was fired after allegedly being called ugly. But it gets worse.
00:31The report continues, in January, when the staffer raised concerns about denouncing Nazism
00:36ahead of his album, Vultures Vol. 1, West allegedly responded with a text that read,
00:42I am a Nazi. The lawsuit also reveals other texts from Kanye to employees, allegedly saying,
00:48Welcome to the first day of working for Hitler. Kanye West has since been dropped by his talent
00:54agent, Daniel McCartney of 33 and West, following Kanye's most recent series of
00:59anti-semitic rants on social media. McCartney announced the decision on his Instagram stories,
01:04stating that he can no longer represent West due to his harmful remarks, adding that neither he
01:09nor the agency could stand behind such behavior. This comes after multiple sources reported on
01:15West's slur-filled rants on X, in which he praised Adolf Hitler, defended Sean Diddy Combs,
01:21and dismissed anti-semitism as, quote, just some BS Jewish people made up. Continuing with,
01:28I'm never apologizing for my Jewish comments. The rapper's X account was deactivated shortly
01:33after, although it is unclear whether it was removed by the platform or done by West himself,
01:39as reported by People magazine. The LA Time reports, the Can't Tell Me Nothing rapper
01:44did express gratitude to Elon Musk for, quote, allowing me to vent. Kanye West and his wife,
01:50Bianca Sensori, also faced backlash after their Grammy stunt, where the 30-year-old Australian
01:56model dropped her coat to reveal her birthday suit, which the New York Post reports, Kanye West
02:02and wife Bianca Sensori argued over a nude Grammy stunt moments before hitting red carpet. According
02:08to actress and influencer Riley Mae Lewis, who shares how Sensori may not have entirely been
02:14on board with the whole thing. Charlie Puth has shown concern in a recent Instagram story,
02:20which read, The message you are sending out to the world is incredibly dangerous. Continuing with,
02:26I beg you to stop. You are selling t-shirts with swastikas on it, and millions of people are
02:31influenced by you. Ending with another plea for Kanye to stop. Puth is referring to Kanye West
02:37selling $20 white tees with a black swastika on it, which sources report have been removed by
02:42Shopify. Before the removal, the public has responded in support of the Jewish community,
02:48including generative AI expert Ori Bejarano, who created an AI-generated video of celebrities
02:54wearing a white t-shirt that displays a giant middle finger with the star of David in the middle
