Kanye West has reached a settlement in his sexual harassment lawsuit with Lauren Pisciotta.

Two years after the case began, the “Flashing Lights” artist and his former assistant came to an agreement on July 23 according to court documents the latter’s lawyers submitted to Los Angeles court on Tuesday.

The filing, obtained by Page Six, states the settlement is “unconditional” and a request for dismissal will be filed within 45 days.

No further details were disclosed.

Pisciotta sued West for breach of contract, sexual harassment, wrongful termination and creating a hostile work environment.

Allegedly, a turn of events occurred one year into her staffing, which began in July 2021. Court documents claim that West asked her to embrace a more religious life. He purportedly proposed that Pisciotta deactivate her adult content account, tendering a yearly $1 million compensation for this change, to which she consented.

West was also accused of sending Pisciotta vulgar texts expressing a desire to be unfaithful to Kim Kardashian, who was his spouse during the rumored transgressions.

Additionally, the lawsuit details Pisciotta receiving explicit videos and images from West, inclusive of visuals showing him engaged sexually with other women. She also claimed the rapper wanted her to listen to him performing a sexual activity over the phone.

West took to X to deny these allegations, writing, “YOU KNOW WHY I NEVER F—– LAUREN PISCIOTA CAUSE SHE SMELLT AKWARD.”

“I DONT GO ONE YEAR WITHOUT SOMEBODY TRYING THIS S— WHERE THE F— IS LAUREN PISCIOTA NOW,” he added.

Lisa Bloom, Pisciotta’s lawyer, claims that West’s comments have negatively affected her client.

“Kanye West has been tweeting about my client. These very ugly, nasty slurs to try to intimidate her,” she stated. “She has had to go into hiding. She has had to leave her home because of threats and harassment, and she has now gone into hiding. She is not working. This is what it has done to her. So, yes, it’s very difficult to go up against people like this, but not impossible.”
