Lauren Pisciotta, the woman who filed a rape lawsuit against Kanye West, is reportedly in hiding after facing intense backlash and threats from the rapper’s supporters.
Her attorney, Arick Fudali, revealed to Complex that Pisciotta has gone into hiding and is living in fear for her safety following a wave of online abuse.
“Lauren… is basically in hiding,” Fudali stated. “She is very afraid of Mr. West, and Mr. West’s circle, and Mr. West’s supporters. She’s received an enormous amount of online backlash and ridicule, and hatred. Really ugly, gross stuff.”
The case has ignited a firestorm across social media and the entertainment world — not just for the disturbing allegations, but for the escalating emotional toll it’s taking on the woman behind them.

The situation has reportedly become so severe that her attorney won’t even disclose the general area of where she currently lives.

“She literally is currently in hiding, and I can’t reveal even the vicinity of where she lives,” Fudali said. “That’s how serious it is for her right now.”
The backlash intensified shortly after news of her lawsuit became public. Pisciotta’s name began trending online, and what followed was a flood of vitriol — some of it filled with hate speech, threats, and relentless ridicule.
Inside the Lawsuit: What Pisciotta Claims Happened
The lawsuit, originally filed in 2023, details a chilling night that allegedly involved both Kanye West and embattled music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is currently facing separate federal sex trafficking charges.
According to the complaint:
- Pisciotta was invited to a recording studio session by Diddy.
- She claims that once inside, she and others were pressured to drink alcohol if they wanted to stay.
- Kanye’s assistant allegedly handed her a drink, which Kanye himself served to her.
- Shortly after taking a few sips, Pisciotta says she began to feel disoriented.
The next morning, Pisciotta reportedly woke up with no memory of what had happened the night before.
She described feeling “ashamed and embarrassed” — emotions many survivors of sexual trauma experience, especially when the incident is hazy or unclear.
Memory Loss & the Aftermath: What Kanye Allegedly Said Later
The most shocking part of the lawsuit came when Pisciotta revealed that she only learned about the alleged assault years later — when Kanye himself reportedly brought it up.
“Women love to say they don’t remember,” Kanye allegedly told her, referencing the night in question.
This disturbing quote has ignited furious debate online, with many asking: If Kanye was aware something happened, why would he bring it up so casually years later?
The Diddy Connection: A Pattern of Abuse?
This lawsuit adds yet another name to the growing list of women accusing powerful men in the music industry of sexual misconduct and manipulation.
Diddy, already under fire with multiple civil lawsuits and a federal investigation, is also mentioned in Pisciotta’s case. Though he is not directly accused of assaulting her, his presence and alleged influence over the environment that night are a critical part of the lawsuit.
Earlier this week, Rolling Stone reported that Diddy allegedly held a woman over a balcony — further intensifying public concern over his behavior and the company he keeps.
The Bigger Picture: Trauma, Power, and Accountability
This case sits at the intersection of celebrity, power, and vulnerability — raising urgent questions about how women, especially those outside the spotlight, are treated when they speak out.
Pisciotta’s legal team is urging the public to take her claims seriously.
“She didn’t ask to be in this position,” Fudali emphasized. “She came forward because she felt she had no other choice.”
Online Reactions: Support and Scorn
As with most high-profile celebrity allegations, social media has been a battleground. While some fans have expressed support and called for justice, others have launched coordinated attacks against Pisciotta’s credibility.
Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok have seen an influx of comments either defending Kanye or attacking Pisciotta, further illustrating the toxic culture that surrounds celebrity cases.
What Happens Next?
It remains to be seen how this lawsuit will unfold. As of now, Kanye West’s team has not issued a formal public response to the new hiding claims, and Pisciotta’s legal counsel is remaining tight-lipped for safety reasons.
But one thing is clear:
The emotional and psychological cost for those who speak out — especially against powerful men — is still dangerously high.
