Adidas investigates claims ‘porn addict’ Kanye West showed his Yeezy team explicit images of Kim Kardashian and ‘bullied and intimidated’ staff – while bosses ‘turned their moral compᴀss off’

Sportswear giant Adidas is investigating allegations troubled star Kanye West showed members of his Yeezy team explicit images of his then-wife Kim Kardashian and discussed porn openly at work.

Members of the team wrote in a letter that they felt ‘bullied and intimidated’ by West, and accuse their bosses of knowing about his behavior for years yet turning ‘their moral compᴀss off.’

It comes just weeks after Adidas terminated its relationship with West amid the furor created by the rapper’s repeated anti-Semitic remarks.

The shocking accusations were first made in a feature published this week by Rolling Stone. In a statement on the story, Adidas said: ‘It is currently not clear whether the accusations made in an anonymous letter are true.’

The statement continued: ‘However, we take these allegations very seriously and have taken the decision to launch an independent investigation of the matter immediately to address the allegations.’

The Rolling Stone article said the letter, тιтled: ‘The Truth About Yeezy: A Call to Action for Adidas Leadership,’ accused West of being aggressive in the workplace, especially towards women.

The group said they asked Adidas to deal with the ‘toxic and chaotic environment Kanye West created.’ In another section of the letter, West is accused of subjecting workers to ‘years of verbal abuse, vulgar tirades and bullying attacks.’

At the time of writing, neither West nor Kim Kardashian’s representatives had responded to requests for comment.

When Adidas cut ties with West, costing the German firm billions of dollars in the process, it called his remarks ‘unacceptable, hateful and dangerous’.

Speaking about the Rolling Stone allegations, Adidas said the company was in a dialogue with employees when the decision was made to end its relationship with West
