"According to court documents obtained by TMZ, a Los Angeles judge has given West 30 days to appear in person for a deposition. The ruling comes after repeated efforts by the plaintiff to secure the rapper's participation. The lawsuit, filed in April 2024 by Trevor Phillips, a former employee of Donda Academy, accuses West of creating a hostile and discriminatory work environment."
"It would be easy to point to Ye's Heil Hitler track and accompanying music video or the one he did with Lil Pump where he declared that "I'm a sick f*ck", but I'm generally against the use of song lyrics as evidence that a person is a piece of shit. Thankfully, you don't have to search hard to find Kanye West's antisemitic footsteps on Twitter and YouTube:"
Kanye West founded Donda Academy, a now-closed Christian private school in Simi Valley, California, named after his late mother. Parents signed mandatory NDAs for enrollment and the school's uniform code required Balenciaga footwear. A lawsuit filed in April 2024 by former employee Trevor Phillips alleges a hostile and discriminatory work environment, including harassment, antisemitic tropes, threats to the LGBTQ+ community, and an incident of near-sexual stimulation. A Los Angeles judge ordered West to appear in person for a deposition within 30 days. Public statements, song lyrics, social-media posts, and controversial music videos have amplified concerns about antisemitic and discriminatory behavior.
