Judge Orders Kanye West to Sit for In-Person Deposition in Donda Academy Suit Within 30 Days

The mandate responds to repeated deposition no-shows in Trevor Phillips’ discrimination case.

Overview

  • A Los Angeles judge set a 30-day deadline requiring West to appear in person for questioning.
  • The deposition stems from Trevor Phillips’ April 2024 lawsuit alleging harassment, discrimination, a hostile work environment, and retaliation tied to Donda Academy and Yeezy.
  • Court filings accuse West of sharing antisemitic views, berating Black employees, and proposing to shave students’ heads and build a jail at the school.
  • Phillips seeks damages and an injunction to bar West and his companies from operating schools for minors in California.
  • Legal documents note multiple failed attempts to secure West’s testimony, and his attorney, Eduardo Martorell, declined to comment on the order.
