Overview
- Court filings show the parties reached an unconditional settlement on July 23 and that a formal request to dismiss the lawsuit must be filed within 45 days.
- The settlement’s financial and other terms have not been disclosed in court papers and the agreement does not include an admission of liability by Kanye West.
- Lauren Pisciotta sued in June 2024 and expanded her complaint in 2025 to allege sexual battery, sex trafficking–related claims and that she was drugged and assaulted at a studio party co-hosted by Sean “Diddy” Combs; the filings do not accuse Combs of wrongdoing.
- Pisciotta’s lawyer, Arick Fudali, confirmed the matter is resolved, while West’s representatives have not issued a new public comment and previously denied the allegations and accused Pisciotta of attempting to extort him.
- The settlement closes this civil chapter without a court finding and does not determine criminal liability, and the case’s formal dismissal will be the next public step to watch in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
