Overview

  • The former marketing specialist sued in February alleging Kanye West subjected her to antisemitic and sexual harassment at Yeezy.
  • West filed an April motion under California’s anti-SLAPP law to strike the complaint as protected artistic expression.
  • On June 30, Judge Traber rejected the motion as legally baseless and ordered West to pay the plaintiff’s reasonable legal costs.
  • On July 30, Doe formally requested $99,720 in attorney fees and costs, with a Los Angeles court scheduling a hearing for September 12 to review the amount.
  • West’s legal team has appealed the fee order and sought to disqualify Judge Traber as it continues to contest the harassment lawsuit.
