New twist in Kanye West lawsuit

Lauren Pisciotta, an ex-assistant of Kanye West, is stepping up efforts to serve him as the sexual assault against him persists.

She has accused the Power hitmaker of sexual harassment, breach of contract, and wrongful termination—Ye, however, denied these allegations.

But the issue Lauren's legal team is facing is the Grammy winner is yet to respond to the lawsuit. Surprisingly, he reportedly did not hire a lawyer to represent him in the case.

What worsens the matter is Ye is believed to have moved to Tokyo, Japan, making the efforts to serve him more difficult.

But now the Only Fans model's lawyer has found a way, asking the court to serve the 47-year-old via a newspaper.

The U.S. Sun obtained new court documents, which read, "Kanye West, a/k/a YE, has not been served despite extensive investigation and efforts to effectuate personal service. YEEZY Construction, Inc. appears to be a defunct entity."

"Plaintiff personally served the agents for service of process for Kanye West a/k/a YE's alter ego entities YEEZY, LLC, YEEZY FOOTWEAR, LLC, and YEEZY APPAREL, LLC," the filing added.

"Their respective time to respond to the First Amended Complaint passed. The end of year Holidays and the respective Eaton and Palisades fires have delayed Plaintiff getting before this Court ex parte to get an order allowing for service of Kanye West a/k/a YE by publication."

"Plaintiff intends to be before the Court in the next 5 — 10 business days," the court documents concluded.
