Kanye West's shocking divorce hoax: Is he trying to cover up a disturbing lawsuit?

A new report suggests that Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori, have fabricated divorce rumors to divert attention from a sexual assault lawsuit filed against the rapper by his former assistant.

The rumors, which surfaced earlier this month, are said to be a strategic move to overshadow the allegations that West drugged and assaulted the woman.

According to an insider quoted by the Daily Mail, West is concerned the lawsuit could harm his reputation, especially given the recent legal troubles of Sean "Diddy" Combs, who was arrested on sex trafficking charges

"Kanye is paying attention to what's happening with Diddy and has been speaking to his legal team," the insider revealed to the Daily Mail. The source suggested the divorce rumors might have been a publicity stunt to shift focus away from the lawsuit.

Timing of divorce speculation has raised questions

Rumors of a breakup between West, 47, and Censori, 29, began circulating earlier this month, with sources claiming the couple-who married in December 2022-were facing difficulties and headed for a split.

Reports suggested the relationship was "rocky" due to West's "high expectations." However, the couple was later seen looking affectionate during a trip to Tokyo, seemingly quashing any talk of a separation.

The timing of these rumors has raised eyebrows, as they coincided with new sexual assault accusations made against West by his former assistant, Lauren Pisciotta. Pisciotta filed a lawsuit claiming she was drugged and assaulted during a studio session with West and Diddy.

In legal documents, she alleges she was given a drink "laced with an unidentified drug" and woke up unsure of what had occurred. West later allegedly admitted to her that they had "hooked up" during the night, which left her feeling "disgusted and numb."

Pisciotta claims she wanted to leave her position but feared being blacklisted. She also alleges she was fired without receiving the $3 million in severance she was owed. Additionally, Pisciotta accuses West of sending her inappropriate text messages and behaving in a sexually inappropriate manner, including masturbating near her and pressuring her to engage in sexual activity.
