Kanye West files motion to dismiss lawsuit which claims he forced an employee to sleep on the floor
It has emerged that Kanye West is fighting back against a lawsuit accusing him of forcing an employee, Tony Saxon, to sleep on the floor at his under-construction Malibu mansion.
Saxon sued West over issues he allegedly had while working at the musician’s 55 million dollar mansion
Having served as a project manager on the renovation of the property, Saxon explained that he was hired in September 2021.
He claims that Kanye West forced him to work 16-hour days, coordinate all workers, hire contractors, and provide 24/7 security. He also claims that he was forced to work in dangerous conditions.
“Throughout the entirety of [Saxon’s] employment, [Saxon] was sleeping in makeshift conditions, finding empty spaces on the ground and using his coat as a makeshift bedding,” the lawsuit read.
“These sleeping arrangements were near open insulation.
“[Saxon] did not have access to a proper bed or comfortable sleeping environment.
“Throughout the entirety of [Saxon’s] employment, [West] exhibited a consistent pattern of being unresponsive and difficult to communicate with.
“[West’s] preference for shorter text messages, bullet points or PDFs made it challenging for [Saxon] to effectively address and elaborate on numerous key specifics related to the project.”
