"I could never forget that, it was horrific. He wanted to remind me of his power and status and threatened me with my career essentially. I've obviously continued to say how I feel about him regardless but I haven't told your story out of respect for you."
"The suit, filed by 2009 America's Next Top Model finalist Jennifer An, alleges that Ye "pornographically" choked An during a 2010 music-video shoot for the La Roux song "In for the Kill (Remix)" while screaming, "This is fucking art. I am like Picasso.""
Ye is attempting a comeback with a public apology, new album release, and upcoming concert performance. However, a sexual-assault lawsuit filed by Jennifer An, a 2009 America's Next Top Model finalist, threatens this return. An alleges Ye choked her during a 2010 music-video shoot for La Roux's song while claiming his actions were art. Court documents obtained by Rolling Stone include corroborating statements from La Roux, who described the incident as horrific and alleged Ye threatened her into silence regarding her career. The documents indicate footage of the incident exists but has never been publicly used or seen. Ye's legal team argues his actions constitute protected free speech as expressive art, while An's legal team has submitted new exhibits supporting her claims.
